"DAILY MAIL" PLEA FOR
THEIR RETURN.
SENTIMENTS WELCOMED IN
GERMAN PRESS,
Berlin, Oct. -Much prominence is given in the press to the article by Lord Rothermere in the Daily Mail, in which he advocates the return to Germany of her former colònies, the present British man- dated territories of Togo and the Cameroons. Whilst the territorial sagrifier to Great Britain' would be small, the return to Germany of these territories would consti tute an "act of international goodwill" which would substanti. ally strengthen the German Re- public and add greatly to her pre- "stige in the world. Moreover, these territories, under the present ad ministrative system, are a financial burden to the Exchequer.
Practicability Questioned. While the majority of the papers acclaim this proposal in which they s a welcome sign of the new con- ciliatory spirit among the nations which pays due regard to the vital interests of former enemy-countries, general scepticism is, however, ex- pressed as regards the practicabil- ity of Lord Rothermere's proposal.' In this connection the papers recall Lord Rothermere's campaign for the revision of the Trinned Treaty which was likewise inspired hy high-minded conceptions of inter- national fairness and justice and" which came to nothing.
The German press goes on re printing and commenting on the series of articles by Lord Rother- mere published in the Daily Mail of which the third in headed "Ger- many's progress to prosperity,"

TWO BEATINGS FOR BANGLE
THIEF..
Twelve months' hard labour and fifteen strokes of the birch was the sentence imposed by Mr. A. W. G. Ji. Grantham on a Chinese who was convicted on a charge of at- tempting to steal a pair of child's hangies.
It was stated that the defendant followed the child up to the stair- case of her home at No. 10, Sai Street and was only prevented from getting away with the bangles by the child screaming for assistance. He was stopped by a number of sanitary coolies who gave him a sound beating bat instead of mak- ing himself scarce he started argu- ing with the mother of the child. A policeman" arrived and took him to the Police Station.
The Police stated in the course of this case, that robberies of this

KOWLOON CASES,
DIVERS FINED FOR FAULTY BRAKES,

mere is careful to refrain from gen- eralizing outward evidences of luxury, as met with in certain Berlin circles, as indications of the nation's general prosperity.,
On the contrary, Lord Rother- mere declares that, whatever pro- gress has been made by the German people on the way to prosperity, in due to the people's industry and hard work. It is generally re- cognized that the series intends, to serve as a warning to Great Britain which, according to the author, will wake up some day and: and herself without a place in the sun,” unless the British industrial, com- mercial, and trade-union circles realize that their methods must be reorganized so as to enable them to compete with better equipped na- tions.
