Moscow, April 2.
Mr. Alan Monkhouse and Mr. Charles Nordwall, two of the British employees of Metropolitan Vickers who were arrested by the Ogpu and provisionally re- leased, have been formally charged with military and economic espionage, wrecking activities and bribery.
The other four Englishmen, Messrs. Thorton (chief construction engineer), MacDonald, Cushny and Gregory are not mentioned in the charges, but it is now clear that all six will be tried by the Soviet courts.
The British Charge D'Affaires visited the imprison. ed men in the presence of M. Vishinsky, the Public Pro- secutor, to-day and he stated that all are in normal health,
It is rumoured in Moscow that the staff of the Bri- tish Embassy is packing, but Reuter is authoritatively informed that there is no foundation for the suggestion that the British diplomatic staff is leaving or is con- templating leaving. The position has not changed.

A large haul of jewellery and watches, stated by the proprie tors to be worth over $3,000, was secured by burglars in a raid they made during the week- end on the branch store of the Salon de Modes at No. 7, Han- kow Road, Kowloon.
The latest robbery like its pre- decessors, was extremely daring. the store being one situated in n quite open locality directly opposito the Kowloon Hotel. The robbers were undeterred by the lights left burning in the store and by the
junctirtained windows.
