AGA KHAN PLEADS FOR TURKEY,

LONDON, December 20. Speaking at a dinner to celebrate the passage of the Government of the Government of India Bill H.H. the Aga Khan appealed for a generous peace with Turkey which would not punish posterity for the errors o a few who had succumbed to German ca clery.

SUBMARINE FLOTILLI LEAGUE FINAL.

**AMBROSE" STOKERS. 1: SUBMARINE L7, 0.

•

There was a large gathering on the Hongkong Club ground yesterday alternoon to watch the Bnal of the Sixth Submarine Flotilla League, be- tween H:M.S. Ambrose and Sub- marine L7. The match was to decide the champions, and the ownership for one year of a beautiful cup presented by Commander Talbo.

The Hongkong Club ground was kindly len: for the occasion and a fee of 50 cents was charged for admission to the stand, the proceeds being given to the Devastated France". Fund: Several Naval men carrying collecting boxes walked round the field.

The 17 started fast and certainly appeared to be the superior team, doing, most of the attacking for the best part of the firs: hall. The fact that the Ambrose's" defence was sound prevented them from scoring early in the game. Gadd, the Stokers' goalie, played a sound game and was one of the chief amongst the defenders, clear- ing shots from all angles in a fine and convincing style. Shortly before half time, the Stokers began to get into their stride and were soon giving the Submariners a very hot time. By means of clever work on the line, the right winger was able to place Downs in possession at the right time and this worthy trapping the ball smartly, did not waste any time but slammed it into the net. This was the signal for a hurricane of cheers and whoops from the metr of the mother ship.

The second half was repetition of the first. the match-being, if anything, a bit faster and rather vigorous-so vigorous in lact that nearly every man was limping when they left the field after the match. The 13 men played most desperately for an equalizer, bat their forwards Emished weakly god thus threw away many good opportu- The Stokers also played a determined game, they being keen to

The Times, commenting on the speech of H. H. the Aga Khan, empha ises that the Turkish treaty cannot be decided solely in deference to the views of Musulman India. The paper refers to Mr. Lloyd George's speechies of January 1918 wherein he stated the allied were not sighting to prive Turkey of Constantinople, Asia Minor or Thrace. That was not a pledge but as offer which Turkey declined and must therefore abide by score a second goal and thus make the corsequences.

After the match, Commander Tal- bot, D.S.O,, presented, amid much cheers from the men of all the ships, the cup to Hannaford, the captain of the Stokers' team.
