Sign yourself “ John Green.” 6. Condense the following extract into about a hundred words: — The most difficult questions in connection with conditional contraband arise with reference to the shipment of foodstuffs. No country has maintained more stoutly than Great Britain in modem times the principle that a belligerent should abstain from interference with the foodstuffs intended for a civil population. The circumstances of the present struggle are causing His Majesty’s Government some anxiety as to whether the existing rules with regard to conditional contraband, framed as they were with the object of protecting the supplies which were intended for the civil population, are effective for the purpose, or suitable to the conditions present.

The principle which I have indicated above is one which His Majesty’s Government have constantly had to uphold against the opposition of Continental Powers. In the absence of some certainty that the rule would be respected by both parties to this conflict, we feel great doubt whether it should be regarded as an established principle of international law. Your Excellency will, no doubt, remember that in 1885, at the time when His Majesty’s Government were discussing with the French Government this question of the right to declare foodstuffs not intended for the military forces to be contraband, and when public attention had been drawn to the matter, the Kiel Chamber of Commerce applied to the German Government for a statement of the latter’s views on the subject. Prince Bismarck’s answer was as follows : Every war is a calamity which entails evil consequences not only on the combatants but also on neutrals. These evils may easily be increased by the interference of a neutral Power with the way in which a third carries on the war, to the disadvantage of the subjects of the interfering Power. The measure in question has for its object the shortening of the war by increasing the difficulties of the enemy, and as a justifiable step in war if impartially enforced against all neutral ships. His Majesty’s Government are disposed to think that the same view is still maintained by the German Government. FOR RANK OF SENIOR SERGEANT. Evidence. Time allowed : Three hours. 1.

A man reports that a brothel is kept at 83 Tinakori Road. What evidence do you require to prove a charge of keeping a brothel against the occupier ? How would you secure it ? LO. You prefer a charge of arson against “ A ” for wilfully burning down his house, in connection with which he received the amount for which he had insured it. In the course of your inquiries relative to the fire you ascertain that before the date of the fire “ A ” had insured a lorry, which he drove over a dangerous road by himself, where it went over a precipice but was saved from destruction by a projecting tree. In submitting your case to the Court would you tender witnesses to prove the lorry incident ? State fully what you would do in relation to the proof of the charge, and your reasons therefor.

Dictation and Spelling. Instructions to Supervisor : The -passage for dictation should be read out right through once, then slowly, a short phrase at a time, so as to permit the candidate to write in his best possible style. The whole passage should then be finally read right through so as to admit of correct punctuation. The words for spelling should be dictated slowly and distinctly, the meaning of each word being explained. As soon as the dictation and spelling are finished candidates must hand in their papers without delay. Candidates must put in their own stops and capital letters. Two new factors helped to increase the efficiency of the petrol-motor electric spark and the pneumatic tire. The electric spark, of course, was by no means new, but it was at first overlooked as a means of igniting the gas and thus producing the explosion. In the first petrol-cars that were built the gas was exploded by means of an incandescent platinum tube. When the piston of the modern cylinder makes its first downward stroke, petrol-gas mixed with air is admitted to the chamber; on the next upward stroke the gases are very tightly compressed, thus rendering them much more combustible. As the piston commences its next downward stroke the electric spark flashes across and the charge is fired. The violence of the explosion drives the piston downwards, thus giving it the propelling-force that drives the car, and as the piston rises again it forces the burnt gases out through the exhaust-valve.

Spelling. Innumerable, typhoid, artificial, temporarily, symbolical, pageant, bicycle, cemetery, tattooing, expedition.
