DISTINGUISHED ADMIRAL'S VIEWS ON ARMAMENTS,
This matter of naval-armaments
is a very big question for the British
Empire, which has longer lines of
ECCENTRIC OLD MAN'S
FATE.
THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, JULY 22nd, 1927.
MURDERED AND HIS MONEY MISSING.
EXTR
The local police have been baffled sea communications than any other by the murder of an eccentric 60- country in the world, writes Ad-year-old gardener who was found miral Mark Kerr, C.B.
shot in the back at South Wanford Having made a widespread search for the murderer without finding a clue, they have called in Scotland Yard."
Tous ces communications are vital...
We, therefore, must look upon naval disarmament from a differ ent point of view than other coun-
tries.
There are two incentives to war: -(1) Competition in armaments; (9) the tempting weakness of an other country. The Great War was an example of the former.
Every nation says her increases are precautions. But precautions. become competitions.
In 1908 the German Emperor-sold me that the Franco-Russian Al- liance would eviminate in "a war against Germany unless he was 80 strong that they would fear to at tack him.
Game of Bluff.
On the other side, Germany's capital levy for this "precaution was looked upon as a threat against their peace And the game of bluff ended in an almost universal war
The history of the world is full of instances of the second incentive
to war,
The most perfect state of affairs for the British Empire would be the abolition of warships of the sea and air all over the world.
Again, the smaller the Navy the fewer merchant ships it can attack, but remember, at the same time, countries with the greatest sea trade have the most to love.
It would, then, be reasonable that self-contained nations should be compensated for reducing their navies by having a less reduction
in their armirs.

The police were summoned and an examination was made by a doctor.
From Scotland Yard.
Detectie Inspector Colline and Detective Sergi Clarke, the Scot land Yard officers who have charge of the Charing Cross trunk murder case, took charge of the inquiry. Important developments are ex- pected shortly.
Livermore was a man of very peculiar habits, He would fre quantly sleep in the open at night and always carried his savings with him. These consisted of Treasury notes kept in a tin box and silver coins in an old velvet glove.
As there was no money in his possession when his body was found the police believe that robbery was the motive of the crime.

Submariacs are useless in peace and unchivalrous in war, and should be abolished."
Aix warfare is a more difficult proposition, because commercial machines can easily be converted into warcraft, and a country with- out morality might attack a neigh bour in hopes of getting a decision before other countires can join in. "It has been shown that the strain of providing great armaments leads to war, so redaction in expenditure should tend to peace. The battle- ship no longer fears nothing, and is the most expensive weapon. It would be the greatest saving to do away with it.
