QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, replying to Captain Fairfax (Norwich, U, in the. House of Commons en November -17th,
said: The advance of the Southern forces into Central China does not ap pear to have adversely affected the per- sonal security of British residents, ne does it appear to have involved any seri ous danger to British property, although there have inevitably been some risk to, disturbance of, British establishments yang directly in the Army zone. The anti-British agitation in Szechuan had led to the destruction of some British pro- perty at Chungking, and it had been cou sidered advisable for women and children to leave that port.
Air Romerville (Windsor, U.) asked whether the right hon. gentleman could assure the House that in case of need there was a sulicient naval force at Han- kow to secure the safety of British resi-
dents.
Sir Chamberlain: In conditions of "such delicacy and difficulty, I think I should have notice of questions.
Replying to Mr. Somerville en Novem ber 22nd, Sir Austen Chamberlain said. the disposition of the naval forces in China was made by the Commander-in- Chief, who was in close touch with His Majesty's Minister at Peking and the local Consular officers. It was considered that the force at the disposal of the Com mander-in-Chief was subcient to ensure the safety of British residents.
The Wanhsion Incident, Mr. G. Locker-Lampson, Under-Secre- tary, Foreign Ofice, replying to Mr. Trevelyan (Newcastle, Central, Lab.), suid that the instructions to use force is a last resource at Wanbisien were "ap. proved by his Majesty's Government and issued simultaneously by the Foreign Once to his Majesty's Minister at Peking and by the Admiralty to the Commander- in-Chief, China. His Majesty's Govern- ment were in touch and in complete agreement with Sir R. Macleay.

PARIS, December "end. The newspapers here are unperturbed at German indignation over the Landau Court Martial, which, they contend ren dered the only possible verdict, after a thorough sifting of the evidence in a confused series of events smacking more of a drunken brawl than anything else. They opine that German anger will prave a storm in a teacup, and point out that the sentences pronounced on the Germans who did not face the Court were heavier than those who stood their trial.
The organs of the Left alone, are dis- antisfied with the trial on the ground that the verdict does not accord with the Locarne spirit.
