they hired a sightseeing car, and
a guide went with them, pointing
out many interesting scenes in the
city, including the. following: China

MILITARY TRAINING
ISSUE RAISED AGAIN
Compulsory Feature 0ppossG
by Some for California Uni
verSity Students.
BY Consolidated Press.

~ tOhepHoateu ffess
BERKELEY. Calf. August Is
The controversy over compulsory
military training. which caused so
much debate at the University of Cali
fornia and throughout the State as
whole last year, is again coming to
the front as the institution opens for
the new Fall term.
Last year the Friends Society and
various peace organizations waged q
determined campaign against the
two-year compulsory training, which
had its inception during war time.
Their contention that IL engendered a
militaristic spirit was taken up by q
section of the student body. and one
student leader was suspended for re-
fusal to drill.
President Campbell of the institu-
ton is again the stanch defender OF
the war training, and he has Just re-
veaied that although the campaign
against the practice has not vet come
out into the open. 1t is being revived
with vigor. During the last few
months he has been besieged with
letters of complaint against the two
hours OF drill a week which freshmen
and sophOmOres are compelled to-
take.
Compulsory military training. &C.
cording to DR.. Campbell. does not en-
gender a militaristic spirit. but trains
youth for citizenship. Regents of tho
university have consistently support
ed President Campbell's stand. hold
ing that the training fits the men for
leadership in civic life and for mill
tary service in case of necessity.
The University of California has
been continuously on the War Depart
ment's small list of distinguished col
leges since the war and officials of the
institution are proud of the record.
Other elements of the states popula-
ton. however, are not so proud and
are determined that the military
training shall go, SO open controversy
over the question may be expected 10
fare up again during the coming ses-

SHIPPING CONDITIONS
REPORTED IMPROVED
Commerce Department Official Says
Unstable Conditions Delay
Full Recovery.

Unstable basic conditions have pre-
vented complete recovery of world
shipping fro, the postwar depres-
sion. A. Il. SandersOu of the Com
merce Department transportation
division declared today in a compari-
son of the general shipping situation
on July 1 and a year ago.
Idle steam shipping was consider
ably less last July he said. full
cargo freights in general were some
what lower; shipping IN existence was
slightly greater: overseas trade an
peared to be about the same in vol
ume; shipbuilding declined and there
was no material change in the sale
value of ships
The report showed that during the
hrst half of 1925 steam shipping laid
up i'll the United States was reduced
by 1868 900 tons. or almost 9 per cent.
while idle craft in the United King
dom increased 613, 900 :Ons or more
than 100 per cent. Tota. n.le shipping
of the principal maritime nations was
estimated at 6.0S6, 900 gross tons on
july |. an increase of PAL 900 over
January /. but "a decrease of it : 900.
or 10 per cent, below q year ago.
An important development during
the year was the employment Of pri-
Vateiy owned American ships more
than half a million tons of steam and
motor vessels, mostly general cargo
carriers. being added to the active
seagoing fleet. A reduction. however
OF about a quarter million tons i'm the
employment of Government ships
made the net increase in American
shipping about 100000 tons.
Less shipping is now under con-
struction than at any time since 1909.

before Murray, and we took an oppor-
tunity whilst Ben was serving his din
ner to ascend through the galley and
present ourselves in the main cabin.
My great-uncle glanced up as he
heard the shuffling Of our feet on the
carpet. A furrow of perplexity was
dug betwixt his eyes. Otherwise he re-
vealed no astonishment.
"'Ods-blood Here is pretty
coil Peter, I'll wager 1 have you to
thank for it."
"Ja," said Peter, and sat himself in
his accustomed place at the table.
"How did you compass it,"
/ told him, and he stared curiously
at Peter, placidly eating across the
table from him.
II might have known 1t, Peter. No
man ever held you in constraint against
your will. l might have known it.
What a mess! My plans and combi-
nations all askew! Peter, y have
played at bowls with destiny A half
hour since I saw my way clear. Now
l must plot it fresh. Stap me, what
a coil What moved you to such a
desperate course, Robert9 Was it to
be with me? Or was it O'Donnells
lass?'
1 hesitated, frankly loath to hurt
him.
II was concerned for her." I ad-
mitted finally. "This ship is no fit
place for maid, as l have said
before"
"'Tis better than some" he an
swered.
But my reply did not seem to an
noy him. His gaze dwelt upon my
face for several moments longer.
"Well, WE'LL" he said as he began
to pace the carpet. "We must make
the best of it, lad"
