The General Officer Commanding has

informed me that the conduct of the Russian sailors

throughout the period of their internment has been good.

At one time the Russian Consul feared trouble between the

men and their Officers but after making enquiries I came

to the conclusion that it was not necessary to take any

special measures in the matter. The few cases in which the

Officers made complaints of their treatment were duly re-

-ported to you as they occurred.
