COSTLY SOUVENIRS.

A GROWING EVIL

PASSENGERS' FILFERING ON THE OLYMPIC,

The thirst for "souvenirs" leading to wholesale pilferings of more or Hess valuable 'articles by passengers on Atlantic liners, was stated to be on the increase in the course of a case at the Southampton Police Court, when Eli and Herbert Ambler, two second-class passengers on the "Olympic," bolk giving addresses at Los Angeles, California, but said by the police to be natives of Yorkshire, returning to England for a holiday after ten years in the United States, pleaded guilty to stealing two silver- plates, ash trays, valued at 50s, the property of the White Star Line.

M Hellett, prosecuting on behalf of the company, said that when at Cherbourg, on the complaint of a fellow passenger, prisoners". cabin was searched, one tray was found in a valise and the second on the top of a cabinet. On the pre- vious might the prisoners had been drinking in various parts of the ship, and there was no doubt that the trays, which had the company's mark, had been stoler from the first- class ealoon bas. The company felt: that it was their duty to bring this case forward, as these thefts of valu- able articles were growing, and they wanted to put a stop to it.

Ei Ambler told the court that on

The fateful meeting of the Triple Alliance was attended by about 500 delegates who met in London to-day-to discuss the threatened coal strike.. Late this afternoon an official statement was issued to the effect that the the last night of the voyage they Congress had decided to send a deputation to Mz Lloyd George to urge and as the second-class bar closed were having a jollification on board, the acceptance by the Government of the finers' claims. The Congress before the first-class they went over remains in session in order to receive the report of the result of the to the latter.

NEW SITUATION.

This level might even be fixed below the present output thus assuring a certain increase in wages immediately. The Government was prepared to make this concession in view of the advantage to the country of securing the relation between wagis and outpat, Mr. Lloyd George urged the miners to suspend the strike notices for a fortnight while they examined with the mine owners the feasibility of this plan. -The miners still urged an immediate advance of 23. but a subsequent conferen privately on the situation created.“
