A serious flaw in the Navy's mobilisation plans WAR revealed during the receni emergency. As the defect could easily be remedied It is in the publie Interest that the facts should be made known,

The Arst stage of the mobilisation, In which the innin Fleet was brought to war strength in personnel, passed off smoothly enough. It was A very different matter when it came to providing officers for the Reserve Fleet and second-line ships in gen- eral.

Hundreds of retired naval officers were called up or offered their fer- vices. Rotired executives of Lieut.- Commander runk are able to recall up to the age of 60, and Commanders up to 65. It appears, however, that no record is kept of their past ser- vlces, state of physical niness, or activities since retirement.

As the emergency proved, the Inevitable result is that on rejoining the Service many are appointed to posts, for which they are unsulled, or where their special qualifications are wasted. The following are two examples out of the many brought to my notice:

A lieut.-commander who retired In 1027 has followed the sea prac- leally ever since, first as master of un ull tanker and later as an officiul in the whining industry In the Pacific and Antarelle. On reporting to the Admiralty for war service he was appointed to an office on shore.

SECOND APPOINTMENT

He drew attention to his special fitness for sea service, but was told that in view of the confusion pre- yalling the appointment could not be altered. A few days later, how- ever, he received a further appoint- ment to command trawler. Before he could take it up the emergency was over. He, therefore, received no pay or compensation whatever, although he had forfelted on cellent position to join up.

ex-

who

Another licut.-commander, had been invallded out of the Ser- vice as a result of severe tropical disease, was medically warned never to go to the tropics again. Yet on reporting for war duty in Septem- ber he found himself appointed to a shore billet at Aden.

These, and other anomalies, which could be multiplied indefinitely, could easily be avoided it

the Admiralty showed more interest in offlcers who, although on the retired

Investigations were started in Marselles, France, after a mysterious explosion aboard the British ship Stanburgh set fire to the ship, off the French town of Sete, and zent her to the bottom. Crew of a French lighter alongside was loading oil when the explosion occurred, and some were in- jured. Above, the ship burning furiously.

It is suggested that all retired officers up to a certain age should he medically examined at least every three years at the expense of the Admiralty, assigned to suitable war appointments, and given a refresher course in one or more of the subjects in which they formerly specialised.

Truant Boy Fell 70ft. To Death In Shaft

A seven-year-old boy who was killed by falling down a disused mine shaft at St. Just, Cornwall, was stated at the inquest recently to have been playing truant from school.

Search parties found him after hearing moans from the shaft. He was seen on a ledge a few feet below the surface, but before he could be rescued he fell a further 70ft., and was dead when reached.

The boy, Renald Matthews Carbis, uf Boscaswell, Pendeen, St. Just, was the son of a'miner, mul his body was recovered by another miner, Edgar Jenkins, of Camborne, who was Jowered by a windlass down the slimft. "VERY NOBLE EFFORT" Jenkins said he found the boy on reek with a ladder resting on head. He was dead.

The coroner, recording a verdlet of "Accidental death," praised the efforts of the searchers and Jenkins for his very noble effort in descending the rhaft, which was unknown to him.'

"It calls for my udmiration,” said the coroner,

In Thames THERE ARE NUMEROUS SEASONABLE GOODS

POLICE are investigating POLICE

the

death of 60-years-old Miss Rosalind Wheeler, an American. who was found in the Thames at Kingston recently.

Miss Wheeler was well known as hostess to Americans visiting Sulgrave Manor, Northamptonshire, the ancestral home of Washington.

Her body had been in the water two days. Inquiries have established that she left her home, the Wool House, Sulgrave, last week-end for a business trip to London. She, had been staying at an hotel in

St. James's-place, S.W.

"MISS Wheeler came to Lis country in 1015," Mrs. Carter, wife of the caretaker of Sulgrave Manor, said. "She had lived in the village about three years."

"She entertained # number of Americans who came to visit the manor, but she was quiet and re- served, and little was known of her here. She was a tall, stately Indy." Man Wheeler's sister, Mrs. Train, Grosvenor-court, Sloane-street, sold: "I can throw no light on my sister's death, or explain how she came to be found at Kingston."

108, Could Not Stay In Bed

England's oldest woman, Mrs. Emma Coate, of Greenway, North Curry, near Taunton, was 108 recently.

And she was so excited that she got up an hour earlier than usual.

"I could not sleep or stay in bed any longer," she said, “I had to come down to see what the postman had brought."

DOWN STAIRS UNAIDED

So, dressing herself in her Sunday best, she went down stairs without yid from her great niece, Mrs. Pister, with whom she lives.

Awaiting her was a "fan mall" of over 60 letters and telegrams and many birthday presents. There were letlers and cards from people In all parts of the country and from rela- lives in Austrulla and America,

But what pleased fer most was the large number of boxes of chocolates she had received, for she still has a sweet tooth,

“I am still able to take walks, but 1 cannot go as far as I used to do," Lake confessed. "I do not want too

much excltement now."
