I much regret that he had to sever his connection with the Police Beserve on leaving the Colony a few weeks ago.
Congratulations To The C.S.P. His Excellency addressing Mr. Wolle, continuel-His Majesty the King was graciously pleased on New Year's Day to appoint you. Mr. Wolfe, to be Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George. You had on that day completed eight years' service in the arduous past of Can- tain Superintendent of Police. The force ander your command has an establishment of ten European officers and its tank and file is com posed of 235 Euroneans, 733 Indians and 9 10 Chinese. You are also Head of the Fire Brigade which has a personnel of 271 men, and you are in control of the Police Training School, in which are about 00.men. Your administration of this largo foLen haa been conspicuously successful: and your services were particularly valuable to the Colony in the crisis of 1992 as, well the long-drawn-out trouble and anxieties which began in June, 1903. I congratulate you very sincerely on the honour which you have rarned
