s CUNNERS SOUGHT T0 FGHT PRATES Many White Russians Re- crujted After British With- drawal From China Waters. By the Associated Press. { SINGAPORE, July 30.—Gunners for duty on the high seas as & prec-uuon| against piracy are in great demand m; Far Eastern ports due to the recent an- | nouncement of the British government that all soldier guards were to be with- } drawn from ships sailing the South China waters. | ‘White Russians with military experi- | ence are being recruited in Singapore, i Hongkong and Shanghal to take the laces of the soldiers. The anti-pirate igades will be under the command of non-commissioned officers nf the British army. Duty Began Three Years Ago. ! British soldiers were placed on British wvessels about three years ago at a time when the pirates were specializing on seéa going vessels. In one raid alone several Britishers were killed and the pirates made off with a score or more of hostages and $60,000 in specie. i For centuries piracy has been rife | along the south coast of China. It is | still in this region that the pirates have | their headquarters. Thetr lair is in the | notorious Bias y. 50 miles northeast | of Hongkong, where there are rugged mainland hills in the background to ‘which the robbers withdraw when sought by armed forcss from the water front. | Master minds work out details of the robbery of the larger ships. In some in- stances three to four months have been devoted by the pirate chiefs to arrang- ing detalls of a single haul, which, | when successful, pays most handsomely. Cost Much Money. i To cope With this situation, the B: ish shipping interests have been pelled to spend much money and at th: same time perfect a system designed reduce the chances of piracy %o a mini- | }} mum. | Specialists have been engaged and 8 | new form of gun man has gradually developed in this part of the world. He must not only be handy with a revolver, but with a rifle as well, and all officers of ships plying these waters must be | well versed in the handling of firearms.
