S. MISCELLANEOUS.
With the cessation of hostilities postal and mail services improved and by the end of the year approximated to pre-war standards in regularity and frequency though of course the Siberian Service remained closed. The dearth of shipping which made itself severely felt earlier in the year became gradually less acute. The exchange of direct mails with the various European other than enemy administrations was resumed by the end of the year. Mails for enemy countries were transmitted through the intermediary of the Imperial Post Office.
During the year 100 bags of reading matter, comprising 3,029 books and 12,871 magazines sent by residents in Hongkong and in the Treaty Ports, were packed and despatched by the Post Office free to the Allied Troops in Siberia.
