THE MINIATURE REPUBLIC

Sir John Brenan's

Appeal

S.M.C. Once last week Issued the follow- ing:-

The Volunteer Recruiting Com- mittee of the Shanghal Municipal Council, with the concurrence of the Chairman of Council, invited representatives of member firms of the American and British Cham- a meeting bers of Commerce to held in the S.V.C. Gymnasium to consider the question of recruit- ing additional personnel for the Shanghai Volunteer Corps, and more especially recruits of Amerl- can and British nationality. Mr. H E. Arnhold, Vice-Chairman of the Council and Chairman of the Volunteer, Recruiting Com. mittee, presided. There were also platform: Mr. the present Edwin S. Cunningham, American Consu:-General and Senior Con- Brenan, HBM. sul; Sir John Consul-General: Mr. A. D. Bell, Chairman of the Municipal Coun- cil; Mr. C. S. Franklin, Brig.-Gen, E. B. Macnaghten, Messrs. P. W Massey, V. Meyer. F. J. Twogood. members of and T. G. Weall, the Volunteer Recruiting Commit- tee: Col. N. W. B. B. Thoms, Com- mandant of the Shanghai Volun- eer Corps and Mr. J. R. Jones, Secretary to the Council.

on

The Chairman, having thanked the firing representatives for at- tending and thus indicating their wllingness to assist in the task of the Committee, sald that the Committee was originated as a re- sult of a report made by the Com- (Col. Thoms), to the mandant Council, emphasising the weakness. of the Volunteer Corps as being a serious problem in regard to its fitness to be employed should a state of emergency arise.

U.S. Consul's Appeal Mr. Edwin S. Cunningham en- dorsed Mr. Arnhold's speech and was one said that his proposal which they should all support." He advocated greater participation by the community in civic needs, and

Leave for Defenders.

The Council was aware that in the past there had been a tendency to keep the Corps mobilised for a greater length of time than the situation might have warranted and that the question of leave for Volunteers who had been mobi- ised but were required to attend to essential business matters had been the cause of considerable doubt some dissatisfaction. No means could be found for solving this problem satisfactorily, and it would be the duty of the Recruit- ing Committee to consider his and other matters and make recom- mendations to the Council.

In conclusion, the Chairman, in- vited a free expression of opinions and said the Committee would wel- come any suggestions the repre- sentatives of firms had to make.

"The Young Men.","

Col. Thoms reviewed the position during the last emergency, when there was a shortage of men, and said he would like to see Arms put It to their young men that they should "All up the existing gaps. He spoke of the difficulties of ab- sorbing men who volunteered at the last moment after an emer- gency had arisen, and spoke of the

necessity of men being enrolled

beforehand.

Was

A general discussion followed, In which it was brought out that there was a desire for the release of "key" men from Volunteer duty unless the position was very criti- cal. It

painted out that key men could be released if enrolled in the sufficient men Corps: if the burden were more evenly distributed, the Chairman said, they would get all the men wanted.

The Chairman said that the sug- gestions made at the meeting and those which had been made in letters would receive the very seri, ous consideration of the Commit- tee.

COL. JOHN BROWN

appealed to each member of the Chairman of British

community to do his part.

He

hoped it would be made possible for as many young men as were required to join the S.V.C. to do

, and that firms would be as- sured that men would be able to return to business as soon as the urgent need passed.

FAST WORK ON COURSE YESTERDAY.

There was some very fast work at the course yesterday when the grass track

The Dynasty would have been open, but for the bad state of the weather. candidates were put through the pace and King's Warden did a fast gallop of 2.10.3 for the mile, which is about the best effort to date by the new griffins. Trowbridge (Mrs. Pearce's candidate) also did a convincing gallop, taking 2.11.4 for the

These times, considering the state of the going, are very good indeed. Mr. Lan's Night View took 2.13 over a mile, but the finish of 34 seconds was not impressive. Prima Donna's mile of 2.15 was a fine effort," the pony taking only 1.02.2 for the last half mile. The last quarter of 29.3 was done without much apparent effort.

mile.

Mr. Harriman's Zero went very well and his time of 2.14 was the result of a very restrained gallop. He moves very well in the mud.

Soldier of China was sent out over slow work, but Soldier of Britain, who took 2.56 for a mile and a quarter finished up strongly and an examination of the times below will reveal that he took 1.35 for the last three quarters of a mile!

Chief Seattle, as always, finished his gallop, very finely and yesterday registered 29.2 at the end of a mile and a quarter.
