Paraphrase of Cypher Telegram.

Secretary of State.

.23rd. September, 1915.

Your cypher telegram of the 11th. September. The

Company went into voluntary liquidation on the 27th. July, the

liquidator being one Fessenden who is said to be a U.S.A. citizen.

Apparently the shareholders or some of them have formed a new

company under the laws of the State of Knine. This company has

powers to acquire the undertaking of the Ilongkong company. It is

not clear how the Hongkong company can distribute its surplus

assets to the enemy shareholders without breaking the law against trading with the enemy, and other branches of this law many be committed in the course of the winding up. These matters can be

dealt with only at Shanghai, if at all.

May.
