ALIEN ENEMIES ON BRITISH SHIPS. According to a lette.r appearing in the South China Morning Post, there appears to be a very strong and aggressive feeling existing amongst British shipmasters trading on the China coasts in connection with German and Austrian members of the Chinese Maritime Customs. These, officials in them official capacity continue to“board Bri- ; tish steamers,'although all masters of British steamers have strict instructions that no alien enemies are allowed on board their ships. China may bo a neutral country', but it does not follow that all persons in the employ of the Chinese Government are neutrals, inasmuch that persons who are entitled to ex-territorial rights and privileges, such as Germans and Austrians resident in China, continue to preserve their nationality and their civil and political rights just as if they had never ceased to have residence and domicile in their own country. Thero- ; fore masters of British ships would he v.;ithin their Iqgal rights if, when hoartl- ! nil by any alien enemy, no matter in j what employment ho might be, or tor whatever purpose ho boarded a British J | ship, they were to ‘'clap” that alien j enemy into irons and take him to HongI kong, or any other ilrilish port, to bn interned. In many cases, the Customs officer when on duty on board a steamer 1 has his me-als on board. If it so hapl pens that the officer on duty is an alien ) enemy, then the master of a British r ship is committing a grave offence . against the common law of Great Bn- £ tain, which prohibit/, British subjects

having any intercourse whatever with an alien enemy.
