The new str. Risever was launched on April 17 at the Pootung yard of] the Shanghai Dock and Engineering Co., Ltd. There was quite a large gathering of visitors, the weather being ideal. As soon as the blocks were removed, the signal was given to let go, Mrs. Utne, broke a bottle of champagne over the ship's bows, christening her Risoner and wishing her good luck. The ship took to the water gracefully and without a hitch. Chinese crowded the sides of the ship! and every available space on shore was packed with people, while fire- crackers were let off and whistles from ships in the harbour tooted good luck.

At the subsequent reception, Mr. John Prentice gave the toast of prosperity to the ship and the owners and mentioned that the Risoger was the fifth ship this class ordered by Norwegian firms built by the Deck Co, and he hoped that, as the owners had expressed satisfaction, Amate

arders would follow. He then pro- posed the health of the owners, coupled with the name of Mr. Thoresen, their agent, and Capt. Muller, who has supervised the building on behalf of the owners.

A No Beer, No work” movement has been started in New York and New Jersey, and its sponsors expect to give it a national impetus. No bear, No work" buttons were worn by all the delegates to a meeting of the Central Federated Union, one of the largest trade unions in the coun try. Mr. Ernest Bohn; secretary of the union, declared that labour as a whole was opposed to prohibition, and predicted for July 1, when the country goes "dry,”, a, walk-out of the workmen who want beer. Asked how the amendment to the Constitu- tion could be rendered inoperative by a.walk out, Mr. Bohn replied We

can make such a protest that the Supreme Court will declara the amendment unconstitutional?

KOREA AND JAPAN.

The War Office in Japan has peculiar methods. It appears to give out news on which an embargo has been placed by the Home office, léav- ing the latter to lift the embargo with what dignity it may. It also predicts policy. In the case of the Korean expedition it promises severe measures a grasping of the rettle. It also states that the Korean agitä. tors are in communication with the Russian Bolsheviks, and need suppres- sion on this accrunt it on no other. What with the missionaries and the Bolsheviks, the Koreans, must be suffering from very mixed, advice. It is so exceedingly unlikely that, stray Russian propagandists could at any time during the past year have: wandered about Korea that the idea that the Bolsheviks are responsible even in part for the present trouble. is not only novel but ridiculous.

JAPANESE PROFESSOR DEPORTED FROM INDIA.

"Professor Kanokogi complains of harsh treatment by the British authorities in India. Dr. Nanaoka, who has just returned from India, tells a representative of the Asaki: what is said to be the reason for the arrest of the Keio professor by the British authorities: Some time ago, he says, Mr. Kanokogi condemned from a. Bimmanitarian standpoint the excessive pressure brought to bear upon the Indians by the British authorities. This attitude on the part of the Japanese professor excited the attention of the British author- ties, whose suspicion was further augmented by the fact that Mr. Kanokogi has many friends among Indian patriots, that he is married to a Russian lady of German extraction, and that he was in possession of many German books. These facts, Dr. Hanacka understands, combined to make the British authorities take the step complained of
