GOVERNMENT AND GERMAN COMPANIES;
In the House of Commons recently, Sir Richard Cooper asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the London and Hamburg Gold" Recovery Com- pany, st present trading as an English company, is controlled by Mr. Edmund Davis, that ap-. proximately two-thirds of the capital, being 99,403 shares, more or less, were at the outbreak of war owned by residents in Ger many; whether any steps have been taken to realise these shares For to transfer them to British subjects; and, if so whether any steps were taken to ensure that the transferees were not acting es trustees for enemy aliens in the matter Sir Albert Stanley:-I understand that the London and Hamburg Gold Recovery Ca, Ltd., which is not carrying on any business, is not controlled by Mr. Edmund Davis Approximately theee-fourths of the issued capital was held by enemies, and these shares bave been transferred into the name of the Public Trustee in accordance with the recommenda- tion of the Advisory Committee. -Sir Richard Cooper asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he was aware that the Otavi Mines and "Railway Co., Ltd. is still conducting its bus- inese in the United Kingdom, although its address is given in the usual sources of information as being at No. 31.Unter den Linden, Berlin; whether it is de scribed as a German Colonial Limited Company by charter of! the Bundesrath; whether the secretary is Mz C. Larmspach and Mr. Edmund Davis is sole director, and what is its London address, Sir Albert "Stanley-- The Octavi Mines and Railway Co. Ltd. is a German company registered in Berlin, with a Lon- don address at 1. London Wall! buildings. Before the war the secretary was Mr. C. Launspach, { and Mr. Edmund Davis was the only director in this country, there being six directors in Ger-1 many. An investigation at the London office showed that no business has been carried on here, and that the London office had only been used for the purpose of issuing reports and giving in-1 formation to British shareholders.

BANK OF CANTON,
OU might tỷink so, but it's not the case. The picture merely re- presents what we should like to see during these last days of the sale of at. Andrew's Society War Bond Tickets, FIVE DOLLARS might bring you TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND. It's a chance of a life time, and probably the last chance of the kind that Hongkong will offer. Half of the money goes to War Charities; the rest, after paying expenses, goes to you, if you are one of the lucky ones. If you are not lucky, well, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have contributed to a good cause. The way to be lucky is to ́BUY TICKETS and BUY THEY NOW.
