SEATTLE

Seventy-five per cent of the silk exported to America moves via the Seattle short route. It's good business!

The shortness of this route means less time, "in transit" and quicker deliveries. Less time "in transit" means lower insurance and interest rates. These factors are vital to the silk shipper. They are equally vital to you, for they. mean sales advantages and ship- ping economies.

Just as it's good business for the silk shipper to route via SEAT- TLE so also is it good business for you!

FRUSTRATED ATTEMPT AT

REVOLT.

ALL QUIET IN BATAVIA.

Batavi, July 19.

As was expected the communists have not been idle since last No- vember and those who were dis- charged from prison owing to lack of evidence have been busy pre- paring for a new attempt.

On Saturday nows was received from the Resident of Bantam that a now plot had been discovered, From confessions made by several natives who had been arrested it was found that an attempt was to be made this month simultaneously in Sorang, Batavia, "Bandoeng, and Sourabaya. A little later the news came through that an attempt could be expected on Saturday night or Sunday morning and tho troops in Weltevreden and Meester Cornelis were confined to barracks. On Saturday and Sunday all public buildings were strongly guarded and the managers of the commer- cial houses in the Old Town were requested to see that their pre- mises were properly guarded. Karet, Kebajorn and Paal Merah are three of the contres of action and here the Chinese and native industries are idle whilst work on the fields has beon stopped. In Batavia itself very little was noticed of the precautionary measures which had been taken. Civilians who took advantage of the moonlight night to take a drive to Tandjong Priok were held up on the road by detachments of armed police and on Saturday evening these parties were advised to return home.

On the road between Buitenzorg and Batavia a motor car was held ap by a party of about 50 matives. dressed in white. The occupants were asked who they were and where they were going. On re- ceiving the assurance that they were not police officials they were allowed to proceed. A Com- munist who had attended a meet- ing in Kampong Tjempaka Poetih Wetan near Senen, Weltevreden was arrrested by two native de- tectives. Suddenly the man seized the electric torch which one- of the detectives was carrying and hit him on the head with it. The other detective remembering the fate of his comrades last Novem- ber drew his revolver and shot the prisoner down. He died im- mediately.

Signal for Revolt.

The signal for the revolt was the sending up of rockets at 9.30 on Sunday evening. Two rockets were seen above the town at that time, one in Batavia and one in Meester Cornells, but nothing of importance happened. The streets are patrolled by aquads of armed police and reinforcements arë hela in readiness at the Central Police Station.

Some wonderful photography of the snow country is a feature of "The Barrier," the new picture at the Star Theatre this evening. "The Barrler" is based on Rex Beach's novel of Yukon days, and is full of dramatic interest, with the action moving quickly to climax. The story is woven With pleasant memories of "The round the primitive-lives that were Navigator" and "The General," led in the early Alaskan days. local cinema-goers will look for- Besides a great-fight between two ward to Buster Keaton's latest inveterate enemies the picture the comedy, "Battling Butler," which

On pussing the pyrotechnical work- shops the guard noticed them and being suspicious opened fire. They were later captured by Д police patrol. They proved to be Menadonese deaerters who were connected with the new attacks. The soldiers and police at Bando- eng who played a big part in the recent dsturbance amongst the troops have already been rewarded either by promotion or bonuses.

As. will be seen from the above nothing. gerious has luckily taken place so far but these are anxious nights for the authorities and public.

Trouble Likely.

It is unlikely that the centre of the disturbances, if they come, will be in Balavia as the measures taken by the police make this al most an impossibility, but the trouble is likely to break out in the surrounding villages where the population can easily assemble without much fear of being dis- covered by the authorities, as it is impossible to patral every inch of ground. It is a comfort to the public to know that all possible precautionary measures have been taken and that the authorities are now on the qui vive,
