Germans Pleased At Treatment
London, Sept. 22. The Ministry of. Information haw siated that two more Ger- man settlements in Falestine have expressed their thanks to the British authorities for the considerato trehiment they have received.
The reported statement of thanks from the people who have been interned would seem to show the falsity of the state- ments that have been made aver the German wireless that Germans in Palestine are being maltreated by the British.
The Ministry of Information also announces that a number of German officers arrived at the prison camp in England yesterday.truter Bulletin.

Hongkong's Most Effective Black-out
The most comprehensive and extended blackout yet staged in Hongkong was conducted last night. For the first time the Harbour was included in the total blackout programme, the port being closed from 8 pm. to 9.45 p.m. Without the persuasion of the intense campaign with which they were favoured on the occasion of the previous blackout, all Colony residents operated efficiently and the outstanding success of the excreise was gratifying to the Air Raid Precautions Officer, Wing- Commander A, H. S. Steele-Perkins, and his co-operators.

At 9.35 p.m. navigation lights came out again on the harbour, but it was not until 1 o'clock this, morning that the "raiders passed" signal was sounded and normal lighting could be resumed.
