British Seamen Deserters

in United States. According to advices recently received from New York there have been fewer désertions during the past three months than for soveral YOATE, according to statistics gathered from the British Consulate, the number being 685, as compared with the" corresponding period in 1917, when there were 1,538. During the entire year of 1917 there were 5,635 and for 1916 there were 5,857, sbowing a decrease of 229. The cause for the falling off in desertions is attributed to several. reasons, the principal one being the more complete enforcement of the British law in euch cases which provides punishment. It is suggested as a measure to prevent desertions

that the United States take prompt and effective means calling for the immediate return of the deserter to hislship or his prompt deports. ation by a rigorous suppression of the crimping system, by the strict enforcement of a system of identification for all seamen in the United States, by the prohibition of the employment of foreigners who are asfives of the Allied nations on American vessels, and by such other means as may be calculated to reach the end in view. It is understood that this matter is now in the bands of Congress.

Marseilles of the Future,

The Lyons Chamber of Com- mérce recently issued a favour- able report on the construction of the "Mirabeau Besin" at the port of Marseilles. The French Government has deposited a bill which includes the provision of increased utilisation of the Barre waterway and Port-de-Bouc, as well as the completion of the canal from Marseilles to the Rhone. The expenses necessary for these works will amount to about 123,000,000 franes, of which the State will pay balf and the Marseilles Chamber of Commerce the other half. To cover this cost it is proposed to levy a new toll tax of FO: 30 on all vessels. using the port of Marseilles, Port de Bouc, and the Marseilles- Rhone Canal. We understand, saye a Paris contemporary, the interest shown by the maufactur- ers and merchants of Lyons in this project, which will permit of Marseilles becoming the natural gateway for African and Eastern traffic. It must not be forgotten that raw materia's, indispensable to the silk and other industries in the neighbourhood of Lyone, enter these places via Marseilles, and it is also through the latter port that the goods manufactured st Lyons and the districts adjacent thereto are shipped. "Peruvian Steamship Co. According to figures published in the West Coast Leoder," the Peruvian Steamship Co (Com- pania *Peruana de Vapores Dique del Callao) · distributed- 11,400 dots. (U.S. currency) in dividends to its stockholdere for the half-year ending December 31, 1917. The distribution was at the rate of 60 centavos per share, whicb, added to that of 6 centavos per share declared in the previous half-year makes a total dividend of 15 per cent. distributed among the shareholders of the company for the year 1917.
