NEW HEBRIDES.
ALLEGED FRENCH AGGRESSION. BRITISH SETTLERS SERVED WITH NOTICE TO QUIT. United Press Association— Copyright (Received August - MELBOURNE, August 13.
Informaton has reached the Presbyterian Church authorities that over 20 French surveyors are engaged in surveying land in the New Hebrides, and that a large number of British settlers have been served with notices that certain areas are claimed by the French. With the view, of conserving the interests of British and Australian missionaries and natives, the Presbyterian Church of Victoria ,in conjunction with the -Burns-Philp Company, is sending a couple of surveyors to the New Hebrides to survey mission lands and the holding of such British settlers as may avail themselves of their services. When 'the survey is completed a legal expert will proceed to the Islands' in order that the claims of the British may lie properly presented before the Joint Land Court.
