Major Lavder. As regards No.38 Haasmann, No.116 Kunze and No.119 Siedel, the disturbance referred to at the Café Weismann is the incident, referred to some weeks ago in the Public Press, of throwing down and stamping on a copy of the "China Mail" which contained the news that the English Government had compulsorily

purchased two battleships building for Turkey.

As regards No.16 Gutschke, No.18 Haeslop and No.63 Koch. Have received report from Mr. Liébert, the Consul- General for France, that these men at a dinner party before an English Lady spread news of the sinking of the vessels "Paul Lecat" and "Nile", but the evidence is not complete yet and would ask

for action to be suspended.

As regards No.70 Lehmann, Dr.Lindsay Woods and Colonel Moberly reported that he and others sang German songs and shouted "Hoch" at night at his house in Kowloon.

As regards No.182 Lorria. He is an Austrian Officer, who tried to frighten Chinese by spreading reports that aeroplanes were coming from Tsintat to drop bombs in Hongkong. Ne He is a man who is liable for service up to 60 years of age.

As regards Reichmann, the Manager of the Grand Hotel, He is a special case as he has always wished to be naturalised as a British subject. He has behaved very well since the war started. He has always communicated any information to the Military Authorities and has conducted his hotel and bar in an

orderly manner.
