SHIPMASTER'S NOTABLE CARFER.

A LIFE OF ENDEAVOUR. An excellent example of the spirit which is a conspicuous fea- ture of the man of the Merchant Service is afforded in the case of Lieut-Commander F. K. Thimm, R.N.R., a member of the Mercan- tile Marine Service Association, who, though well over military age, volunteered for service, and has been appointed to an import-

Lieut. ant defensive section. Commander Thimm is

An old Worcester boy, having joined in May, 1867, and underwent train, ing there for the period 1867-69. being a much valued colleague and life-long friend of the late Commander á. Houghton, a res- pected ex-president of the Mer- cantile Marine Service Associa tion. He gained several prizes and an apprentice's premium in Messrs. George Marshall and Sons. London. He joined the ship Buckinghamshire in September. 1869, passed through the various grades to third mate, and left her four years later to join the Union Steamship Company. He was wrecked in the R.M.S. Celt on Quoin Point, South Africa, the following year, and had a very exciting experience. In 1883, this ship being laid up at Southamp- ton. Chief Officer Thimm (as he was at the time) joined the British India Steam Navigation Com- pany, and later the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company. He achieved command in 1885, and took part in the Burma Expedition and the taking of Mandalay. The following year he received commission in the Royal Naval Reserve, and was promoted to lieutenant in 1896. In 1904 he retired from the sea with the rank of Lieut.-Commander. On the outbreak of hostilities he applied and was mobilised for active service. joining the special service squadron, being appointed staff officer to Commodore Had- dock, and was gazetted in June, 1913. Acting-Commander. The following October the squadron was recalled and demobilised. Commander Thimm, who, to use his own expression, "hasne objec- tion to wearing cut, but does not intend to rust out," then applied to his former owners, the Union Castle Complay, and offered (after 40 years sea service and 22 years in command) to ship as

Commander in the Air Defence Servine, where, to use his own words. "they had a lively time during Zepp-raids." In view of the fact that Commander Thimm, who bad been recently demobilised from the R.

The following testimony of his abilities was given by Commander Haddock "Commander F.K.Thimm,R.N.R.. joined the Special Service Squadron early in January of the present year, and left on the dis. persal of the Squadron in October an able and energetic officer, who can put to shame many younger men. One I greatly regret parting with at the end of the cruise."

EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE RAILWAY TROUBLE.

London, Jan. 10.

Mr. Thomas has announced that the delegates have con- sidered Sir Eric Geddes reply and be has arranged a conference between Sir Eric Geddes and the railwaymen's representatives for the 12th.

Sir Eric Geddes, replying to Mr. Thomas's intimation of ... the railwaymen's decision, says that as the "Cabinet has laid down the lines of the Governinent's proposals and the issues involved afe of nauunal impacitance, affecting every section of the community, it is necessary to bring the whole matter before his colleagurs. He will do so at the earliest moment, when he will give Mr. Thomas a reply which will carry the Government's fall authority. Sir Eric Geddes hopes this will be early next week.

London, Jan. 13.

A most important interview between Sir, Eric Geddes and the Committee of Railwayren, regarding the latter's" decision on Jan. 9, occurred this afternoon, the railwaymen submitting considerations which led to the conference's re- solution. Subsequently the position is to be discussed at a meeting of the Cabinet which was postponed this morning, awaiting Mr. Bonar Law's return from Paris. There appears 'to be a conciliatory spirit on both sides, the railway delegates expressing readiness to meet the Government a considerable way if the latter.manifest a disposition to reopen the discus-... sion. It is not anticipated, however, that the Government will give way much on the main principles.

#

The interview lasted an hour and a hali and subsequently the Ministry of Transport issued a statement that Mr. Thomas and other representatives of the National Union of Railway- men had fully explained the reasons for the rejection of the. Government's offer, and that Sir Erie Geddes had promised to lay the matter before the Cabinet immediately, and it was arranged that he should meet the railwaymen's repro- sentatives to-morrow afternoon to announce the Govern ment's answer. Subsequently Sir Eric Geddes and Mr. Horne proceeded to Downing Street to attend a meeting of the Cabinet.

SERIOUS NEWS, FROM GERMANY.

Brussels, Jan. 10,

There are strange reports by travellers from Germany that the German Government is overthrows, that the Socialists are masters of the situation and that a general strike has been declared throughout the unoccupied territory, So confirmation is obtainable.
