MASS DESERTION

COMIC SCENE ON THE WATERFRONT

RECRUITS DASH FOR LIBERTY Mass desertion, and no bones about it, provided an extraordinary scene on the waterfront this afternoon when the 8.8. Tin Yat came alongside her wharf from Canton.

Hor third class accommodation was packed with Chinese soldiers, destined for the XIXth Route Army.

Before the Tin Yat had time to form a link with the shore by gangways, the men poured out from the ship from every avaliable i epening on to the wharf and fled into the street, discarding their uniforms and equipment as they

Washington, Oct. 25.

THE U.S.S. CHICAGO, ONE OF THE MOSTA MODERN OF CRUISERS IN THE AMERICAN NAVY, WAS NEARLY SUNK YESTERDAY IN A COLLISION WITH A BRITISH OIL TANKER.

The cruiser, although the bigger ship, was badly damaged. The tanker struck her broadside on, and tore a huge hole in her hull.

Two officers of the U.S.S. Chicago are missing and several members of the crow are lying seriously injured in the hospital to which they were rushed as soon as the cruiser reached safe harbour.

MODERN CRUISER.

The representative states that his firm is sponsoring a now pro-. cess of refining nickel.

Much comment has, however, been aroused in Canada and elso- where lately by revelations of the remarkable increase in the exports of nickel from Canada, and specific attention is drawn to the fact that nickel is an important element in the manufacure of munitions.

Official figures show that 518,000 ewt, of nickel was exported during the first six months of 1988 38 compared with 128,000 cwt, during the same period of 1982.
