Armed Force Necessary to Fight Off Pirates, Ship pers Assert-Recent At tacks On Boats Cited to
 Prove Dangers to Crew.

Hongkong. April II tPl-Proposals of the British government to remove military guards from merchant ves- sels operating in Chinese waters have been received with storm of protest from tIongkong shipping concerns.
 Too many piracics occur every year 10 make the step of removing British guards from the costal boats a wise one, the shippers argue. even though native guards arc substituted by the shipping firms themselves.
 Armed Guards Supplied
 Ever since British shipping be- came an important factor commer- cially in the waters of Southern China, the government has supplied all vessels flying the British flag with an armed guard-usually a squad or two of soldiers. The mere fact that these soldiers have been aboard has served to keep pirates rom attacking q vessel and for this reason. special attachments Of "Tommics' have been kept in Hong kong ready for guard duty aboard ship at minutes notice.
 IT the British soldiers arc re- moved, owners fear that the safety of foreign ships officers will be placed in unnecessary danger, even if a substitute guard is arranged.
 In this respect the owners point to the piracy Of the steamer Anking last September as an example. Dur ing this incident, two foreign off cers were killed together with q. Chinese member of the crew, all be- cause there was no guard aboard except a few armed natives The captain and third officer were wounded while the pirates carried off seven passengers for ransom.
 Incident Stirs Officers
 The incident stirred the foreign officers along the China coast and vet it was only four months later, at Singapore. when the owners of a vessel and it's foreign officers came 10 grips over the subject and the latter came off second best.
 The ship was leaving Singapore for China with a heavy passenger list Of plantation laborers. rich" after several months work in the straits settlements and likely plum der for pirates.
 When sailing time came, the foreign officers demurred at lifting anchor and getting underway with out a guard and made representa- ton to the owners to that effect. After much wrangling a guard was provided, but the ship had been de- layed some five hours in sailing.
 Denoted All Officers
 This piqued the owners to such an extent that they denoted all the officers and had them removed to smaller ships. The result is that each side is somewhat apprehensive of the other and unless guards of some description are maintained, there is bound 10 be bad blood.
 The number of piracies of i'm portance that were committed last year reached the amazing total of 600. Most of the victims were large Chinese junks carrying cargo from and to costal ports. Only II large steamers were attacked by the sea wolves but this number was sui ficient to cause serious thought among the owners.
