Vessels Manned with Chinese Are _ . Helpless-Mode of Conceal- , ment Ulevenly Oonceived

' LONDON, May 7.-Cables from gydney state that the Australian com- monwealth is threatened lvitll it re- crudescence of the Asiatic problem. imp- some time there has been ll steady increase in the number of chinese stowaways discovered on board ves- sels arriving at Sydney from Hong- kong, and other ports in the east, and there has 'long existed s. vague but wide-spread impression that the ull- detected arrivals of aliens 'were far -more numerous than had originally been suspected. This View has been considerably strengthened by several semi-official stwtemctns made hy R. B. Levien, a Victorian state l-ommrrciai _agent_ who has just returned to .Viei- bourne, after it residence of several years in the east. According to Mr. Levien, wllo possesses a thorough knowledge of the Chinese language and public affairs there exists in China a powerful syndicate with plenty ‘ of money at its back and also possess- ing agencies not only throllgllollt the celestial empire, but likewise in every part of Australasia and eiscwhl-ro. The ramifications of this organization are extremely far-reaching and tilcl-c cannot be tile slightest doubt thot, to a certain extent, its efforts to secretly introduce Chinese into the colnnlon- wealth have been successful.

i Shipping Companies Helplesa

- The shipping companies naturally lli.- everything ill their power to check lhtl nefarious traffic, -but so long as t'lcil~ vessels arc munncd by Cllillesc, they are llolplcss. During ioillling spor- lition.l at eastern ports European offi- cers are constantly on duty at the hatulica, and at the conclusion of each illly's operations see -that the hatches ure closed down and fllstcned witll yale locks. Moreover, while thc ship is at sea several systematic searches ure matic by thc,oi'ficers and any Euro- pean members ofthe crew who may be oil board. The modes of concealment arc lnost ingenious. They generally consist of nooks and corners artfully contrived by the Chinese engaged in loading the vessel, food and oppor- tunities for breathing .fresh air lleing furnished by the Chinese and Malay members of tho crew, who are all in the secret and liberally paid for their assistance. Some Vilinese correspon- dence which recently canle into pos- session of the federal department of external affairs proved a rcveliltion to the colnnlonlvealth customs depart- ment, it being perfectly clear fronl the contents ot' the letters tllat tho Chinese wcre being smuggled into

' Australia regularly ill batches of from

ten to eighty. Tile manner lil which the stowaways are concealed \'ari4,-s according to circumstances. `

Clevpr Caneealmsrlt

Sometimes, it is explained, lhc llld-

ing places are mcrciy burrows made in tho Cargo, the space ll-ft for each unan being so small that only the powcrs of endurance possessed by tho average Chinaman could enable ti tu be utilized, More often thc vessels RFB secretly fitted with false blilk- lleads, false walls and false door. -which are sinlply partitions construct- ed iil'l BXILCL Ililil;;i.\>;\, of what they are Supposed to represvill, and flttcrl into grooves about .eight or nine inches from the real walls and other portions nf the below space. As many as tive 01' bight Chinese are packed ill. a time in these hiding places, wht-rc i-NSY Bland, IIB. or crouch all tho time U10! are hiddcn. T-he partitions ul- -wnys mysteriously disalppcar after tllc stowawayl have cscilpckl, xl rl-rllllt which would be impossible i.f tllc SYd"<=y Whufves. instead or being open to public 'streets .werc surrounded by llifiy walls as in English ports, I-‘illsc Wllturalization papers are largely lls-ed, `Each Chinese on leaving Australia ban obtain la certiflcilito giving his mime. Dlace of residence, di-tnlls of his Dcrsonal appearance, and ollu-r matfefii in case he should desirl- to

return. In China. there is a. consider- 9- le traffic in these documents, which -iilvafihbly command high prices.

“Gu-ns count next after men. Evslrf

serviceable ship that carries a B004 .gun may fire a decisive shot. Tha oldest battleship may stand a recur( pounding; the newest may be disablai by a single shell. All ships are equal- ly a prey to the submarine, to the torpedo boat. and to the floating mine." '

He quarrciled with _the “Dredd-

nougllt Fear-All School" in their re' fusal to assign due value amid the cllnnccs of war to every serviceabli

lucky the sailors did not believe them.

At present i`.-le British navy was

more nearly thrice than twice ll strong as the navy of Germany. If In 191| the German navy sllouid havo been strengthened by thirteen Dread- nolights, the British navy would pos~ sou sixteen; and if the German navy should have been strengthened by seventeen chips. twenty new British lhipl would have been commissioned. _ Any hattlsships provided by the loy- ‘titr of the colonies would be addi-

tional. .

In View of these tremendous margins

In diplomatic circles, however, the

position of King Peter and his dyn-' asty is considered untenabie. Austria heartily desires the removal of th" Karageorgevitches from the throne. They brought Russian influence into Sei-via, where formerly that of Aus' tria was predominant.

Austria would prefer almost ani'

foreign prince on the Scrvian throne, but docs not for the present wish to sec il dynastic movciucnt which would stil' up the country llt`i'L'sll, just when it is becoming quict, and might pos- sibly crc-ate incaiculable mischief? Though Austria will certainly try to regain her former influence in Se-ryla, King Pctor will doubtless for some time keep his position.

But as al. matter of fact tllis is litter-

iy undl-rlnillcd in the lfoulltry itself. All his doings cvcr since his ascension of thi- tilrono undt-r such sangulnary l~il'ruillst;lilci-s in 1904. llrlye proved un- rilullillcll flliillrvs. This fact allll the int-l~.~'.sililt worries :itll-nilillg the tl'ol:l»h-.-olllc party <|lli\l'l'<-l.-' lliivl- calls- l-il il ill-ep lit-prcssioil ill tilt- mind of lhc king. who is anytliing but it strong nliin. All who know liiill llc<'lzil'e that he wants a rcst and is longing for the little chateau in Carintllia for which he is negotiating the purchase.

Apart from tllis, he is poor, and the

Kanknn peoples require \\'f‘nltll_\' rul- ers. The Crown Prince Alexander, too, is ill dt-iicntc health. and all his quali- ties rclliior him llnilt for the throne. Thr- ilririy is illsszlilsiiod with the king, and openly conspire against lllnl. Tllcrcforc, in spite of official denials, the lucntlls of the Karageorgevitches' reign uro numbered.

What is required is steady build.-

'in2. not panic building.

I The second cardinal error was the ,idla that modern fleets could be built ‘sol-relly, and that Germany could lm- scelerate. her .pwsramme S0 ar>nrecls.bl>'__ as to change the balance of navll strength without its becoming known.

It is not, in my judgment, true that

Germany can -build s. single battleship, and still less, that she can- build a simultaneous squadron of battleships as quickly as we can. T-he actual capacity of Great Britain for buildlni worships ls superior to that of Gore

lTl8.l'ly.

The third fallacy, said Mr. Churchill,

was as to the two-power standard. In this the United States might be left out of their calculations. The admirtity were prepared to prove that the Brit- ish fleet was now, and would be ini

ably probable combination of two powers, but to the two next, strongosti powers in Europe, without regard to‘ the probability of their coulbinamjou.. l

The most monstrous error of all ill'

the impression that there was `i. pro- found antagonism of interests between j the British and German nations which could only be resolved by a supreme? trial of strength towards which the tides of destiny were irresistibly betr- lng them.

There is no natural antagonism be-

tween the interests of the British l.nQ Gi-rnlan peoples. She is our best; ms'-‘ sign customer, and we are hers. In spite of the evil forces we see at work' in every land, the foundations off European peace are laid more broadly; and more deeply every year.

In conclusion, he wrote, it was the first duty of men of light and 'leading to resist these nightmare moods, and- to deny all countenance to that rpirlii
