ACTRESS AND THIEF.
CONFESSES TO OVER TO CASES OF LARCENY.
Said by the police to be "a lady of high birth," Mary Theresa Greenway has been an actress, thief and associate of a well- known criminal.
This outline of an amazing career was given at the London Sessions recently by Detective- Sergt. Harman, who said the woman had confessed to over The saventy cases of theft. charge against her on this occasion was of stealing a cig- arette case, brooches and other articles from different persons.
The detective said that her method was generally to answer advertisements for situations, and, when she was shown into the dining or sitting room, to steal anything on which she could lay her hands. She immediately sold the articles at jewellers' CX second-band dealers' shops.
At the age of 18 she was sent to Australia, where she became an actress. Her marriage there with an actor proved most un- happy, and, returning to England, she carried on business in a small way, doing embroidery work.
She came under the influence of a lady, and was sent to Paris, where she obtained a position as a governess.
Six years ago she came back to England, took to drink, and since had been gradually going down and down. She was liberated from prison last year, and, ap- parently owing to bad company, committed these crimes.
Sergt. Harman added that, when in prison. the woman made the acquaintance of 8. well-known criminal, who madei Arrangements for her to get an advance of £10, with a view of her starting further on her down- ward career.
Sentence of nine months' im- prisonment in the second division was passed.
DEFENCE OF THE EMPIRE
• ON THE PACIFIC.
DETAILS OF THE £20,000.000 A YEAR FAR EASTERN
FLEET..
Melbourne. Oct, 21. Lord Jellicoe's report on aval matters premises that Australia is powerless against a strong naval or military power without the assistance of the British Fleet.
But, whether political con- siderations admit of a strong British Fleet permanently based in Far Eastern waters or not, an Australian contribution to that Fleet is necessary in order to provide force and naval organis- ation to delay an enemy's action.
The Empire's interests du ing the next five years," adds Lord Jellicce," are likely to demand a Far Eastern sea-going fleet of considerable strength."*
It is assumed this fleet will comprise:
& battleships (modern Dread-
nought type).
$ modern battle cruisers.
10 light cruisers.
40 modern destroyers.
3 flotilla leaders.
2 destroyer depot ships.
36 submarines (excluding those
in Indian waters).
4 submarine parent ships.
12 Fleet minesweepers.
1 large sea-going minelayar.
2 Fleet repair ships.
This fleet, comprising ships of the Royal Navy, the East Indies Squadron, the Australian Navy, and other vessels in Far Eastern waters furnished by Canada, New Zealand and the Malay States, should be organised to acti under one single direction during war, and for the general safety of British Far Eastern possessions and sea communications.
This fleet is additional to all ships required for the defence of barboure and direct protection of trade by convoy.
The Government has taken preliminary steps on the lines of

tions Exchange.
[It has already been stated that the eventual annual cost of the
Far Eastern Fleet would be near- ly £20,000,000; Great Britain to pay towards the cost of the new Armada 75 per cent.. Australia 20 per cent., New Zealand 5 per cent.]
MITSUBISHI WORKERS ON STRIKE Over 1,000 workers at the of the Mit- Tategami factory subishi Dockyard in Nagasaki are reported to be going on strike, Instead of resuming work on the 10th instant after the noon recess, these workpeople assembled on some unoccupied ground near No. 3 Dock, and discussed demands to to be preferred to the manage- ment of the dockyard. It appears that 30 per cent. increase of wages is the chief item of their new demands.
