:

I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknow-

Eur Ea

ledge the receipt of your letter No. 79/S. of the

29th. ultimo regarding the treatment of enemy subjects

resident in Shamien,

Sir E. Grey understands that all Germans and

Austrians of military age in Hongkong have been in-

terned and it seems to him reasonable to suppose that

eny reservists who may have been in Shamien have gone

to Tsingtau. The element of danger arising from the

proximity of this district to Hongkong cannot there-

fore be very great.

In view of the considerations expressed in Sir

Sm/37799

F. May's despatch of August 15th, copy of which was

do do.

enclosed in your letter of the 9th. ultimo, it appears

to

he Under Secretary of State,
