which deals with war between other nations_or_riską consequent on war.
ATTACKS ON STEAMERS The postulon is that hostilities have broken out between China and Japan in North China without a formal declaration of war, that Japanese war vessels are on the South China coast, that there have been attacky by the Japanese on railways and Chinese vessels in South China, that the Canton 'River has been closed to traffic and in places mined, and that there is a force of Chines='acropiatles at Canton. An article in the “China
Pipers of the Seaforth Highlanders at the Massed Retreat on Murray Parade ground yesterday evening. (Photb, Cheng Studio
Mail" of September & suggested FUNERAL OF MR.
that the Canton air force was į about to attack Japanese ships,
Subsequent to the men's demands there were conversations between the ship's officers and the crew and there was correspondence by cable 'with the Board of Trade. The men were informed that no war bonus was payable but persisted in their demands. In the event the ship was delayed and a prosecution under section 225 (1) (e) of the Merchant Snipping Act of 1894 was brought in consequence.
One is struck by the moderation which characterises the whole of these proceedings the reasonable demands of the men and the sym- pathetic attitude of the master and owners. There has never been any suggestion that the men in re- rusing to sall were actuated by any other than their declared motive-
to obtain payment for a risk not contemplated by the terms of their original engagement. On the con- trary, it may reasonably be de- duced from the evidence given that the men were in favour of their case being decided by the National Maritime Board and would have accepted lower terms than those demanded If such terms had been offered.
NEVER DISOBEYED ORDERS
Ir. the magisterial proceedings it was shown that the men never dis- obeyed any lawful order and even worked overtime aiter their de mands had been presented. The prosecution was dismissed by the Marine Magistrate on the ground that no direct order to sali was ever given.

On appeal it was argued by Mr. Sheldon, K.C. for the appellant! that as China and Japan were not at war and there was no real danger to the ship from Chinese sources the men were bound to complete their contract of service and were not entitled to demand higher pay. With regard to the status of the belligerent partics it was conceded that there is no real difference between the hostil- ities in these and in Mediterranean waters: the difference, if any, lles in the potential danger to shipping | Mrs. L.

The bombing of an American ves- sel, the President Hoover, in North China waters was referred to in evidence but there was no 'evidence of any such bombing or other war- like act beyond examination by Japanese warships taking place in Southern Chinese waters.
