The Interment took place at Happy Valley last evening, with military hon- ours, of the late Mr. John Lamm, who died at the Government Civil Hospital on Thursday after a long illness, from Bright's disease The deceased was a member of the Hongkong Volun- toer Reserves, many of whom-at- tended, along with the officers, to pay a last tribute of respect to their decensed comrade. The bearers were drawn from "D" Company, which was the late Mr. Lerms company, and the firing party was formed by "A" and “B”. Com- pames under Bergt McHatcheon. The Dead March was played by the band of the 18th Infantry, the buglers of which also sounded the "Last Post '' after the firing of the volleys. The officers present were Major Wakeman and Capt. Champ. kin (Reserves), and Capt. Branch and Lieut Wright of the Volunteer Corps. The service was conducted by the Rev. T W Featherstone. There was a large. number of beautiful flori) tributes, tents

With all the cities shrouded in darkness they cannot, at the height at which they are obliged to operate, hope to obtain even a glimpse of their objective, and their bombs must necessarily be dropped in a haphazard manner. After immense preparation, weary waiting for their opportunity, and running the gravest risks, their efforts to achieve any advantage of military im- portance have invariably been vain. The German people are evidently beginning to recognise this, and the Zeppelin as p weapon of offence is being graduallyfying to the great respect and esteem in abandoned Aeroplanes, it will be noticed, which the deceased was held, the wreaths are now always used for raids upon
