OFFENDING STAMP

STILL IN USE.

Some annoyance, is felt in poli- tical circles that the General Post Office is still necepting letters franked with postage stamps issued by the Argentine, Government on which the Falk- land Islands aro-shown as Argen-

tine posscasions.

The stamps were first issued at the end of last year, and early this year a protest was made by the British Ambassador in Buenos Aires. They show a nap of South America in which the territory of the Argentine Republic is shaded in contrast with adjoining countries. The Falkland Ialunds are in this map and are shaded.

The cession of the Falkland Islands to Great Britain in 1771 has never been recognised by the Argentine, whose claim to the Islands has been maintained, although it persistently has never been strongly pressed.

Burglars of exceptional skill and daring are operating at Kowloon; ns was shown by the extraordinary coup successfully carried out nt 2 Kimberley Villas, Kimberley Road, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Corver shortly after 5 p.m. yester- day evening.

At that time Mr. Corver was in the room adjoining the second floor of the house, and, by an odd irony was cleaning a revolver and a thot gun, when the thief or thieves, en- tered the room, and not 20 feet cool and nway, proceeded in a leisurely fashion to ransack the drawers and shelves.

Mrs. Corver had gone out at about 5.15 p.m. taking her dog with her. Soon after her return, at 8 p.m. slic went out onto the verandah to get a cigarette from a tin which she had left on her dressing table with- in 20 feet of where Mr. Corver was still busily at work on his guns. When she went into the bedroom she found her jewellery box open on the dressing table, and the contents gone. She called her husband and they Boon found that thieves had been busy.

verandah, were also missing.

The servants quarters are at the rear of the house but though the servants were in at the time, nothing was seen or heard by them.

It is thought that the thieves climbed up the side of the house, not a dificult task in itself, though the place is in full view of the road..
