M. liner Georges Philippar off Aden last month, it is believed, ne- cording to the Excelsior, that the Ministry for Justice will hold a judicial enquiry, simultaneously with the Investigation conducted by the maritimo authorities.

The usual procedure of handing in to the Minister; the merchant marine's roport, is regarded na too slow in view of the rumours that the ship was not lost by accident.
