age in Britnin is as Harbin effective as it ever has been. Ten days before the outbreak of hostilities in the last week of July 1914 there were twenty-six agents of German Intelligence in England.
At the declaration of war the Special Branch pounced and put them in a place where they would be unable to communicate any
defence secrets to their employ-
Cra.
During the recent crisis Ger- many had more paid agents in Britain than in 1914.
But again we were in the happy position of knowing the location and objective of each, For example, while Mr. Cham- berlain was at Munich M.L.G operatives were shadowing in the West End a known German A.R.P. agent.

GREETINGS ON WHARF
Arrival of Recruits From India
White turbans with their
Icose ends fluttering in the breeze and ple- Luresque moxiem slippers with curled up toes featured the arrival at Kow- loon wharf yesterday of the Talma from Calcutta. They were worn by 48 Indian recruits to the Hongkong defence forces.
Fifty of these, Punjabi Mussulmans have been assigned to the II.K.S.R.A.; the other 10, Sikhs, will join the 8th Heavy Regiment, R.A.
There was much hearty embracing on the wharf by these recruits and their booted and uniformed fellows already in service. They are abso- lutely raw material, but it is claimed they make apt and willing trainees, their chief aversion being having to clamp their comfortable, slippered feet into military boots.
