By. His Excellency Sir RearvALD EDWARD STUBHS Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George Governor and Commander-in- Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same :
Whereas by section 12 of the Volunteer Ordinance 1920 it is enacted that the Governor may in case of great national emergency or in case of actual or apprehendod invasion of or attack on the Colony or in case of serious local disturbance by proclama- tion call out any volunteer corps for actual military service and wherans it is also enacted by the aforesaid section that the period of such service shall continue so long as the Governor may consider necessary and shall end only by order of the Governor:
And whereas the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corps was called out for actual military service by such proclamation on the 4th day of March 1922:
And whereas it appears to me that it is unnecessary that the period of such service should continue after the date hereof:
Now therefore I Sir REGINALD EDWARD STTBBS Kaight Commander of the Most Dis- tinguished Order of Saint Michael, and Saint George Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice Admiral of the same do hereby order that the period of such service shall come to an end at midnight on the 10th day of March 1922.
Given under my hand and the Public Seal of the Colony at Victoria Hongkong this 10th day of March, 1922.
By Command,
GOD SAVE THE KING.
Claustive:
Colonial Secretary.
