The important point is that Japan is resolved to follow up her con quest on the battlefield by the more peaceful conquest of the commercial world to the And one of the centres, from which will radiate numberless units of Japanese energy will be the rich hinterland of Manchuria. From the telegram which we published from our own correspondent » Shanghai yesterday, it may be deduced that Japan regards the entire coast of China from Dalny to Hongkong as under her wing.

His Worship said: The omission to record in the official log book the death of any person on board your vessel, as well as the parti- culars relating thereto, is a serious one. In this case the death of a Chinaman took place on 30th May during a voyage, from Singapore to Hongkong, and it is only now, due to a report which investigation proves to be correct, that 1 am able to learn something ofthe facts of the case. A consequence of this is that no proper inquiry into the circumstances can be made here, as the doctor, who at the time was borne on the ship's articles, and who also according to law should have signed the entry in the log-book, is no longer in the ship. It must be apparent to you that if the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act are not complied with ̧' fa this respect the ends of justice may very easily be defeated.
