LONDON, July 7.—The threatened wrosecution of many members of the Jleviathan's for alleged deser- <ion from British vessels is attract- ing much attention here.

The number of men who are threat- ened with arrest under the British mercantile shipping act is variously timated at between 100 and 300. The Daily Mail reported that one company has the names and ad- dresses of 100 men belonging in Southampton who are known to have ipped aboard the Leviathan. The newspaper adds that when the big Jiner arrives at Southampton she will probably be quarantined until the police have identified each man. Complninty Numerous. There have been many of British ships being forced to r turn short-handed because of the d sertion of their men, who have been attracted by the high American wages, although they signed for the round trip and were warried before- ind of the penalties of desertion. t is stated that 200 men left British ~hips in New York, Philadelphia and Boston durhng the first week of May alone.

Judge Morris declared it seemed to him that the case at issue was unique and that if he was thoroughly to un- derstand it he must be helped, ex- plaining that his questions to counsel fndicated no conclusion on his part. Agreeing that the case was unigue, Special Assistant Attorney General An: derson sald he might ask that the gov ernment “regards it as a matter affect- ing its national and international rights and dutics and one of the most important litigations instituted for some tim Defense Testimony Introduced.
