SHIP DESERTERS
BRITISH & GERMAN SUBJECTS. QUESTION IN THE HOUSE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Mr H. S. S. Kyle (Riccarton) in an urgent question to the Attorney-Gen-eral, Mr H. G. R. Mason, in the House of Representatives this morning, stressed attention to a recent case of deserters from a ship at Auckland where a British subject was sentenced to a term of imprisonment while two Germans, who also were charged with ship desertion, were convicted and ordered to come up for sentence if called upon. Mr Mason, in reply, said _ the two Germans in the case mentioned had not been sent to prison on account of their extreme youth. Personally, he agreed with exemption from imprisonment of very young offenders.
