LONDON, Weanes. It has leaked out that the naval .rouble is much more serious than he bare Admiralty statements indi•ate. The crews chiefly involved are •hoso of battleships and cruisers, 500 atings from which assembled at a Canteen ashore, for a mass meeting, vitere they made r-peeches and pass>d resolutions denouncing the pay reluctions as unfair and inequitable, md demanding redress. The 'Incident has created intense >xc:tement in the Housc of Comnons. The sallors, it seems, continued their insubordtnation after eachlng the ships, where they were ■een dnncing on the decks. The noise of singing and shouting was heard from all the ships. The Glasgow "Finaneial News" ••ays: "The song of the sailors, heard i**er the waters of Cromarty Firth vas the "Rc.l Flag." Shore wafechers cld irly baw the nectings on shqibonrd after the can■el'ation of leave. The canteen -cenes are described as Bedlam let ousc.
