I have no wish to discuss exhaustively here the action of the Chairman and Stewards of the club concerned, although these gentlemen appear to labour under the delusion that Shanghai will withdraw participation from Hongkong racing as soon as the qualified Chinese there are admitted into membership. But I have something to say to the point, something, which should further the spirit of compromise, very necessary to the settlement of a vered question, which has already produced ill- feeling of
marked nature. According to a prominent jockey returning a few days ago from Hongkong, the decision entirely to exclude Chinese is by no means unanimous; the Jockey Club is purely a sporting club situated far from town; the annual meeting there is dependent apon Shanghai for owners and jockeys and the paucity of racing atables there, unless remedied, will discourage the local racing. fraternity from going and send ing their ponies south. He also failed to see why the Chinese with the qualifications of those who, unsuccessfully sought ad- mission should not be admitted.
These are the views of a sports- man towards the sporting side of this issue. Surely, in our inter- | course with the Chinese, there should be a little room, however little, for the exercise of goodwill. A proper sense of square ¿caling should prompt the parties con- cerned to compromise. This is the only satisfactory solution to the question,

SERIOUS OUTBREAK BY CANADIAN SOLDIERS.
London, March 7.
The Liverpool Express" reports that a serious outbreak occurred in the military camp near Rhyl on March 4 due to demobilisation and pay grievances. A large number of mea headed by a Canadian, who is believed to be a Russisa, wrecked the storehouses and pillaged the stores They fired upon the officers' quarters and proceeded to march out of camp but were stopped when threatened with machineguns. It is stated that the number killed is over five and the wound- ed over twenty-five. A representative of the War Oc Bew to the camp and promised redress of the grievances and that 10,000 troops would be embarked for overseas in a fortnight.
A Canadian Russian soldier started the Rhyl outbreak erying Come on Bolshevists," Hundreds of men rushed from the huts armed with all sorts of weapons and entered the quarters of sleeping girls of the Navy and Army Canteen. They carried off clothes and smashed and ransacked the rooms. Some arrayed themselves in girl's clothes and then raided a brewer's dray and consumed the contents. They used the barrels.to block the roads. Cavalry was called out but forbidden to use arms. The rioters started fighting com- pelling the authorities to take stronger measures. The camp contained 23,000 Canadians and the ring-leaders were mostly of foreign extraction. Damages are estimated at $30.000: It is reparted that twelve were killed. including a New Brunswick Major, who had won the Victoria Cross. The latter attempted to keep off rioters from the omheers' quarters but was thrown down and trampled to death. Another officer at- tempting to rescue him was badly mauled and died.
Later
It is otheially announced that, the Rhyl trouble ended last evening by the rounding up of the rioters. The camp is quiet and there is no damage or further disturbances. Canadian authorities restored veder unassisted by British troops. They informed the War Office they do not desire shipping to be increased in consequenre of the outbreak as they do not intend to be coerred. The Canadian authorities assame entire responsibility for disciplinary action and have arrested a number of men concerned. The shooting disturb- ance was purely local and not due to widespread discontent, Two hundred long service men angry at the alleged repatris- tion of more recently joined troops started the outbreak.

Mr. Robins yesterday testified before the same Commit- tee and said he did not believe that MM. Lenia and Troizy were under German influence. Mr. Robins considered Bolshevism to be the menace of the age but did not favour American intervention because he believed the people of Bassia wasted to be Bolshevist.
