MONEY, CHEQUE AND STAMPS
THEFT ABOARD THE "HUPEH"
A Shanghai Chinese named Mashjao Hsi-tse, aged 24, was brought before Mr. K. Keen at the Central Magis- Tracy this morning on a charge of having stolen from Chan Yau-fong, compradore of the s.6. Hupeh, 3115.35 in Chinese currency, $3.85 in Hong- kang money, a cheque for $75 and 60 one-cent stamps. The theft occurred yesterday.
Det.-Sergeant Davies stated that white complainant was away from nis cabin yesterday, defendant boarded the boat, forced open a drawer and stole the articles mentioned in the charge. A tallyman who heard. noises from the compradore's cabin looked in and saw defendant there. Oo seeing him, defendant immediately ran away, but was finally caught by fokis of the ship.
Admitting the charge, defendani, who had two previous convictions for boarding steamers without a permit, was sentenced to five months' hard labour. The articles stolen were re- covered.

German Handicaps
I have left Germany to the last. In Germany the economie situation is very weak.
There is great difficulty in pur- chasing raw materials in Germany even for the programme of rearma- ment. The people have to go short of necessaries, the currency situation is dangerous, and unbiased observers describe the German home situation ns about on a par with the situation In
1916 when the
the blockade was be ginning to have its full effects.
Germany has no allies in Europe on whom she can depend.
The German Army is in process of reorganisation, and is short of train- ed officers and non-commissioned officers, because of the rapid ex- pansion. The Navy is still compara- tively weak, and there are no over- scas
bases.
For all these reasons, therefore, German aggression as a deliberate act can be ruled out.
If we all keep our heads and try
to remove such legitimate grievances as exist, there will be no European war.
