JAPANESE STUDENTS.
STUDY THE GRAND ENGLISH NATION. ARREST FOR DESERTION OF BRITISH SHIP. By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, November 8. Two young Japanese were charged at the Police Court with deserting a British ship at Hobart. They submitted a written statement, which had been translated into English, setting out that they were Japanese students who had set out from Japan to make themselves acquainted with that grand and honourable Enelish nation, the rulers of the world. They asked that they should not be compelled to return to their ship with an "unhonourable face," for they would have no other method than death as Japanese. The case was adjourned to procure an interpreter.
