Hong Kong, far-flung outpost of the British Empire, paid. homage to the nation's dead at the Cenotaph yesterday morning- - when the Two Mtunter Silerice was observed. The souls of the glorious dead were commemorated and in the brief space of dyna- mic silence war veterans recalled the terrible, years, 1914-1918, which brought about the greatest sacrifice of human life the world has over known.
The underlying thought of all those who stood harehanded be- fore the memorial here and throughout the Empire yesterday must surely have been the stirring words' uttered recently · by King Edward himself, *Humanity cries out for peace, the assu- rance of peace." ".
Significance was lent to the Hong Kong "observance by the presence | at the Cenotaph of four Admirals, HE. Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Little, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinx Station; Rear-Admiral HE Yarnell, Commander-in-Chief of the United States Asiatic Fleet; Vice-Admiral Esteva; Commanding the French Naval Forces in the Far East and the Commodore, Rear- Admiral C.
