REBEL ON THE BRIDGE

CRUISER MAY BE OUTLAWED. ' LONDON, September 1. Tho British Government, says the Athens correspondent of The Times, has raised the question whether the Greek cruiser Ameroff shall bo regarded as an outlaw because tho commander refuses to obey the orders of his Government. Captain Koliolexis, the commander, who was a favourite with the previous Government, was so rapidly promoted that a majority of the naval officers resigned. The present Government decided to reinstate them, and also to place Kolialexis on the retired list. Kolialexis sent a wireless message refusing to go to Athens, whereupon the Government ordered him two months’ imprisonment, and appointed a new captain. Meanwhile Kolialexis remains on board his ship, and the Government threatens extreme action to compel him to submit. It will reply to the British Government to-morrow.

It is to fco regretted that the Proprietors of “WHITE HORSE” WHISKY are still unable to give full supplies of their famous brand either at home or abroad, so groat is tho demand which was created before the War by outstanding quality and ago. This quality and age they are wisely maintaining, and in the home market “WHITE HORSE” stands alone through its reputation for quality, and not through extensive advertising.

White Horse Distillers Ltd. are giving as liberal supplies as possible, and, as stocks of Old Whiskies or© gradually increasing, they hope to b© able, in the course of somo two years’ time, to supply all the requirements of their customers.—3oß24.
