An interesting.conjecture, inspired by the present tour of the United States feet to Australian and New Zealand ports, is contained in the issue for July 15th of the Naval nud Military Kreurd, In an editorial out Home contemporary says in part:-

It is, of course, merely a coincidence that developments in the Far East since this cruise was planned should be, bestow- ing uport it a degree of strategical it- terest which was probably never in the minds of the Navy Departuient, anl which entally probally, they will rather did not exist at all.

The hostility shown to the to the circunstances surrounding the Japanese-in particular during the long action by French newspapers in plateseries of disturbances-hus heen deeply where Mr Papazian lived and traded, it provocative, nnd frankly we should have that was only right that he should have the found it more reassuring had Japan given true facts brought to light."

One day this man entered the cabin where the captain and other officers were assembled, and, at the point of the revolver, took possession of the ship, fe unloaded the goods from time to time into a boat which came alongside, and when the cargo was discharged left the ship. There was no doubt that this was engineered by Lieut. colonel Rüle.

Afterwards a claim was made in the American Courts by a supposed purchaser of the goods, lat, said Sir Henry, Mr. Papazian had reason to believe that the claim was brought in collusion with the plaintiff to give colour to the transaction.

Later on a letter was written by Cal Rule to Mr. Yallein, is France, which was repented to the defendant.
