Arnhold. Karberg & Co.

Two former partners of this firm, Mr.

H. E. Arnhold and Mr. G.H. Arnhold declared themselven to be 93 British subjects and opened business in Hankow, Shanghai and

Canton. There was some question as to whether they should be

permitted to trade, but this wa s ultimately agreed to.

Messrs. Arnhold Karberg & Co's office in Shanghai

was in the French settlement and the French Consul insisted

that Mr. Arnhold advertised in the papers that he had started

business in his own name, and bad later a new office, but cargo

when measured was found to be still stored in the old office.

Attached is copy of a translation of a intercepted

letter from Vesars, Birenberg Cossler & Co. of Hamburg, dated

21st, May 1915, to Mesars. Arnhold Karberg & Co. of Thanghai

in which the connection which still exists between the two

"British" Mesara. Arnhold and their old fim, is clearly

defined.

No publia noties has been given that the brothers

Arnhold are no longer partners in Arnhold Karberg & Co.

The Russian Military Censor at Petrograd recently

banded a bundle of intercepted German correspondence to the

British Naval Attache, amongst these was a letter dated Broman

17th. March 1915, from Messrs, Melchers to their firm in Shanghai

in which the following paragraph appears;-

"It seems very difficult for you to start fraah business

"transactions in Shanghai. It is said that Arnhold,

"Karberg & Co. are doing tremendous business in Bankow,

"after changing themselves into an English firm",

A curtain Mr.Tebb who is of British birth, but for

many years a resident in the I.8.A. was for some considerable

time an assistant in A.Y. & Go's office. He left Hongkong sema

time before the War and went to America where he married the

wealthy widow of a former Hongkong resident. Mr. Webb, it

is stated, took out his papers while in America and now glaimo

to be an American citizen. He has quite recently returned
