Anderson This coverfonds preetically with our desf.on 15822/14 31.12.14 HONGKONG. GOVERNMENT HOUSE. 8th October, 1914. With reference to paragraph 3 of your despatch No. 133 of the 29th of May, I have the honour to enclose a copy of the usual form of Crown Lease, which is for 75 years renewable with building covenant. There has been no variation in the form of Crown Lease of building lots for 75 years with the exception of the clause granting a renewed term of 75 years, which was introduced about 15 years ago. In only two cases have leases for 99 years been granted and in those cases the form of the Crow Lease was the same as the 75 year renewable leases with the exception of the renewable clause. From the date of the instructions of the Secretary of State that 999 years should be no longer granted up to the date when he approved of 75 year renewable leases, that is from the 20th June, 1898, to the 31st July, 1899, all leases were for 75 years only. With regard to paragraph 2 of your despatch I would point out that, with the exception of a comparatively small number of farm or garden lot leases, all the leases in Hongkong are build- ing leasee, and if you should decide that in the case of such leases the building, if the site is required for public purposes, should vest in the Crown at the expiration of the lease without any compensation to the lessee, there will be no necessity for the notification of which a draft was enclosed in my despatch No.117 THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P., of the 8th April. Should you, however, decide that compensation should be given then I am of opinion it would be preferable to give it, in the circumstances indicated in the enclosures to my despatch 1824 No.117 of the 8th of April, rather than to renew the lease for 21 years because I am convinced that a renewal for such a short period would not be attractive to Chinese who form the majority of investors in real estate in this Colony. I have the honour to be, Your most obedient, humble servant, Governor, &c.

With reference to the cypher telegrams noted in the margin, paraphrases of which are enclosed for convenience of reference, I have the honour to transmit for your consideration and favour of instructions by telegraph thereon, the enclosed copy of correspondence with His Excellency the General Officer Commanding, South China, on the subject of the treatment as prisoners of war of those enemy subjects, allowed to remain in the Colony under parole, who have now become liable to Military service in consequence of the calling out of the various classes of the Landeturm. I enclose also copy of a letter address- ed to me by the Commodore on the same subject. Jaures & tou On receipt of Major-General Kelly's letter of the 1st instant I discussed it with him orally and expressed the opinion that inasmuch as all the 74 persons concerned had been under parole for a considerable time and had conducted themselves well and as the large majority of them were well known residents connected with business firms licensed to trade in the Colony, I considered that they were covered by your telegram of the 9th of August. I deprecated telegraphing to you on the subject as the facts could not be laid before you within the compass of a telegram, and it was agreed that I should refer the question to you in a despatch and ask for a telegraphic reply. The first and second Landsturm were, according to THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LEWIS HARCOURT, EP., information received from His Britannic Majesty's Consul-Ceneral at Canton, called out on the 8th of September. The call did not affect Germans in this Colony since they cannot leave it without my permission. But the call technically has rendered most of the 74 persons named in the list liable to serve. I may mention here that about 90 first reservists left the Colony shortly before, the outbreak of war for Tsingtau. In justice to the German Consul I should also explain here that when he furnished the list of German subjects who were paroled on the 7th and 8th of August, he intimated that as he had no census of German residents there might be others not includ- ed in his list. The Police were accordingly instructed to make a complete census of all Germans and Austrians in the Colony and the compilation of the list occupied some time. This may partly explain the discrepancy in the figures of those ultimately liable for service, and accounts for the late date at which some of the residents were paroled. Mr. Rosemann only returned to the Colony recently. An examination of the list of names which accom- panied Major-General Kelly's letter of the 5th instant shows that of the 74 persons named therein 48 are members of the German Club in this Colony. Among these members are comprised Mr.Gutecke and Mr. Hock, the lianager and Assistant Manager of the Deutschą- Asiatische Bank and many other well known business men who are either in charge of, or assistants in, German firms licensed to trade here. In this connection I may mention that on the departure of the German Consul Mr. A. Becker, Chairman of the German Club, and Mr. 0. Struckmeyer of the firm of Siemssen & Co., asked me on behalf of the Committee of the Club to report to them if there should be any complaint of misconduct on the part of any resident member of the Club in order to enable the expulsion from the Club of any member who should infringe his parole or otherwise misconduct himself. The remaining 26 persons are employed in various capacities in the Colony. The only one amongst who is marked as of suspicious character is Mr. Kunze. I recently made enquiry concerning this person and I attach a copy of the report which I received from the Captain Superintendent of Police on the subject. I did not consider that this report justified his deport- Concerning the conduct of the persons named in the list, I attach notes of a conversation I had with the Provost Marshal whom the General Officer Commanding sent to me to explain certain items in the column of complaints in the list. I would also point out that not one of those named in the list has, as far as is known, committed any breach of his parole. A complaint was made to me by the General Officer Commanding in August of noises at the German Club at night, but enquiry by the Police showed that residents in the neighbourhood had no complaints on the subject. Enquiry has again been made as to the rowdiness at night and the spreading of rumours and inciting of Indians and Chinese against the British Government mentioned in Major-General Kelly's letter of the 5th instant. I attach a copy of the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police. I may say that as far as I know there is not a German in the Colony who can speak any Indian language. It is scarcely correct to say that Germans and Austrians are allowed to move about freely at all hours. Their movements are restricted to certain areas agreed upon between the General Officer Commanding and me. They are not required to be within doors at a certain hour of the night because such restrict- ion has not been asked for by the Military Authorities, nor does it seem necessary. In the matter of the trade which German residents are permitted to carry on, that is a matter which does not seem relevant to the question at issue. It is a question that has been already settled by His Majesty's Government. That the presence of a number of Germans and Austrians does render greater precautions necessary is true. I can only say that the Colonial Government have rendered and will render in the future every assistance in making those precautions effective if you decide that present arrangements are to continue. Finally I would remark that if at any time before the close of the war it is desired for whatever reason to arrest as prisoners of war any or all of the persons referred to in this despatch, such arrest can be carried out as none of the 74 persons will be allowed to leave the Colony. I have sent a copy of this despatch both to the General Officer Commanding and to the Commodore. I have the honour to be, Your most obedient, humble servant, Governor, &c. Enclosure 1 Paraphrase of cypher telegram of August 7th from Secretary of State to H. E. the Governor. It has now been decided by His Majesty's Go- vernment that it is most important that all enemy's reservists should be detained as prisoners of war, whether naval or military, in order to enforce proper treatment of British Officers and men who may be captured. You should therefore act accordingly. Direct Reporting Officers to telegraph direct to Admiralty names of merchant vessels whether British or neutral, on which enemy's reservists have embarked.

German merchants and their employees to the number of about 100 and equal number of wives and children are, however, in the Colony. About 20, including the German Consul, are 2nd reser- vista not called up owing to nature of employment and age, the rest are exempt from military service. Subject always to with- drawal of indulgence at any time, I have permitted all these, with the concurrence of the General Officer Commanding, to remain on parole and subject to restriction of movement in the Colony and undertaking not to leave it. British subjects have been similarly permitted to remain at Esingtau on parole. The only Austrian here is the Consul, as far as I know. I do not know if he is reservist, and I have not as yet put him on parole. As regards these German or Austrian reservists, if any, what are your instructions. There is, residing on the British Settlement at Shamien Canton, a number of German merchants, not called up as first reservists. reservista. That action should be taken if any of these are 2nd I should be glad of your instructions with regard to the presence here of Germans alluded to above, as to whether Until further notice the present arrangements are to continue. General and I are prepared to allow it, but I understand that Commodore would prefer, although he has not yet addressed me on the subject, them to leave the Colony. edt .1.8 morì d‡8 tauguå to mangelet redqys to szandgaza¶ .Beinofol edt mot state to yzstezoeƐ edt of tonTEVOD Enclosure 3 Paraphrase of cypher telegram of 9th August from Secretary of State for the Colonies. „betoa d‡▼ Jeugui lo mazgelet zvoy to amottauztanl Ive nod daarzeð ett gatburðal 001 Juods to tednum add od Essyalque visit bas atuadozer nextOO adt ni,"evewod ‚eza morbildo ba aeviv to redmua Laupe bra -IGBột bat eza ,08 Juoda ødt jega bus #campaigns to ezutsa of gaivo qu baliso toa atsiv -dtkw of ayawis joetdoa „MDİVTOR Tandklim moTi İqueze eTA ÜRET ,eɛødt lis battlæreq evad I „emit qaa da soneysubai To Isverh disset of zelbaarmoð tediì10 Istened odd to some tuonoo edt diły yaolob eat at tnemevom to moltoitjast of feetdra han elotar do .ti evsel of ton gntfødtebau bas od bežjimoq TITSJE¤le reed evad at beṭdua daljiza .loxer no ustgateż ja atomer .wodi I ɛs zal sa,Ivano0 odd at szed astutapi ylao odz mid Juq Joy sa toa evad I ban talvreɛet at ad 11 woat toa ob I lieJBİVTOSOT USIT‡Buk to namïeð vandt abraJOT BÅ „añol†Bandeat qung ora Jadw„Toa August 9th referring to my cypher telegram August 7th B.

Owing now, however, to the number of these residenta that have become liable for service (74 out of 127 ) and to the general behaviour of Germany in her dealings with her enemies, I submit that the time has come to reconsider the decision. It is true that with the exception of some rowdiness at night owing to their being allowed to move about freely at all hours I cannot say that they have behaved badly on the whole. Still, I look upon every German (there are practically no Austrians) men or women, at large in this Colony, as a potential factor for evil, and possibly for prolonging the war. is little doubt that they spread rumours and not unnaturally do what they can in incite the Chinese and Indians against us.

They go on taking the trade which the present war gives an opportunity of British firms to get hold of. Their presence renders it necessary to take more elaborate precautions in guarding all important places. Taking all this into consideration I beg that this letter may be laid before His Majesty's Government with a view to orders being given by cable as to the policy they now wish carried out a policy which no doubt will be guided by the treatment our prisoners and residents in Germany are meeting with. In India I understand that a Germans under 59 years unless unfit for service, have had their parole can- celled and have been made Prisoners of War. Personally I Money remittances to Germany can be made with very should not be sorry to see all those fit for service made Prisoners of War; they would be well treated, but not in a po- sition to do any mischief. I am inclined to think that this would be in accordance with the Secretary of State'a cable of the 7th August. In my opinion the subsequent cable of the 9th August is not intended to apply to those liable for service. I am sending this through the Senior Naval Officer who will forward it to Your Excellency with his views. I propose to send a copy to the War Office. I aprend a discriptive list of those liable for service with notes as to misconduct. I have the honour to be, Your Excellency's obedient Servant, P.H.Kelly ■ToneIIesza .3.1.0.X (yok.A.

I am in full accord with the General's letter. I consider that these men constitute a menace in a Colony like Hongkong and I think they should be made Prisoners of Tar. I feel very strongly that men who have sworn solemnly to serve Germany, and Germany alone and above all else on earth, are unlikely to be deterred from keeping that oath, if the opportunity occurs, by any undertaking they may have given to us since, especially when the conditions imposed upon them suit their personal convenience and leave them in a position to do what they have sworn I was not previously aware that there were so mány mên liable to serve the enemy, at large in this I have the honour to be, Your Excellency's obedient Servant, Sd.

Major Lawler, Provost Marshal, attended at the Colonial Secretary'e Office at 10.45 a.m. on Thursday 8th October, 1914, and gave certain information to His Excellency the Governor with regard to German and Austrian subjects in Hongkong liable for service. 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. a'graderoe?

Colonial Secretary, Enclosure 11. I attach report from the Chief Detective Inspector with copy of refused charge and statement by sergeant in charge at Central re incident of two Cermans and a Dane being met by Police Constable A33 Reid coming from a brothel in Old Bailey at about 1.30 in the morning. There was really nothing in this. 2. Police Sergeant 61, Adlington states that on the night of the 30th ultimo at 10.15 p.m. he met Lance-Sergeant Cockle opposite No.2 College Gardens. There appeared to be a great jubilation going on by what appeared to be about 10 persons. The noise was a nuisance and I called the boy and told him to tell his mater to tell his guests to make less noise. The master shortly afterwards came out of the front door and I spoke to him person- ally and asked him to stop the noise or I should have to report the matter. The noise then stopped and I went away. The master of the house was a German and I do not know his name. He was a tall man. This was the night of the last publication of the S.M.S "Enden's capture of British boats. 3. Rev. Machonachie of Union Church who lives close to the German Club states that the Germans are behaving more quietly and orderly than ever at the German Club. He remembers that on the night following the first news of the Enden's capturing British ships they appeared to have a jubilation, but he had no cause for complaint. His only complaint is of the noise in the bowling alley which on some nights appears to go on all night. The noise is made by the balls rolling and knocking the pegs. Above is the only evidence I have had regarding noise and rowdiness. I have been unable to get any evidence of their spread- ing rumours and inciting Indians and Chinese in this Colony against the United Kingdom. C. McI. Messer, Capt.

With the exception of the incident in the attached extract from refused charges book, as far as I can ascertain, the Police neither in Hongkong or Kowloon have had any occasion to complain of the behaviour of Germans or Austrians, since the outbreak of war. It was once rumoured in the early stages of the that the inhabitants of the German Club were behaving in a noisy and boisterous manner there, but both Police in uniform and Police in plain clothing keeping close observation on the place, failed to see or hear anything out of place. The Police interviewed several of the inhabit- ants in the vicinity of the club and they stated that as regards the noises complained of at the Club before the out- break of war, all had been tranquillity since.

Hegle 1.1 8423.11.14 ** SECRET 44889/5/4 PRINTED FOR HONGKONG. GOVERNMENT HOUSE. 9th October, 1914. In continuation of my secret despatch of the 25th September, I have the honour to transmit the enclosed paraphrases т and translations of cypher and code telegrams' received from you and despatched by me to you on the subject of the Anglo-German War. The information and instructions contained in your telegrams have been communicated to those concerned. I make the following references to special cases. Your telegram of the 23rd September, which contained an outline of the proceedings conducted by His Majesty's Prize Court in London in the case of a detained vessel has been communic- ated to Prize Court Authorities. At the investigation of the S.S. "Rajaburi", the only vessel detained in this port, a similar proce- dure will be adopted. The instructions contained in your telegram of the 23rd ultimo are being complied with. I will, however, report upon the action taken in a separate despatch and forward the returns required. On the 25th September "I telegraphed the names of all prize ships which have been brought into this port by His Majesty's war ships. One vessel you will observe was a joint Anglo-French capture. I may add, with reference to your code telegram of the 24th September "regarding ships whose cargo has been detained, that no case of the kind has arisen to date. HE RIGHT HONOURABLE *N° 4288 ÉV LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P., I regret the serious and unforeseen delay which my secret despatch of the 12th August suffered in transmission and regarding which the telegraphic correspondence concluding with your telegram of the 5th October has arisen. I may explain that after the outbreak of hostilities, the Siberian service was suspended, also the service via Canada, and the P.& 0. Co's service vià Suez was threatened with interruption owing to the possible activity of hostile cruisers. I took advantage of the American mail service vià San Francisco and New York, which, though not expeditious, offered greater security. I presume that the delay was accentuated by the dislocation of the steamer services from New York to Europe. I enclose for your information a table giving dates and particulars of despatch of the periodical secret despatches on the war and of other important confidential despatches on the same subject which I have addressed to you since the outbreak of hostilities. I am addressing you in a separate despatch regard- ing the telegraphic correspondence on the subject of trading with the enemy ending with your code telegram of the 3rd October. With reference to paragraph 15 of my secret despatch of the 12th August the Committee appointed to control the price of foodstuffs appear to have attained satisfactory success. Weekly meetings are held under the chairmanship of the Colonial Treasurer, when the maximum sale prices of all important foodstuffs are fixed and notified in the Government Gazette. The principal considerations taken into account in fixing prices are the fall in exchange, increased insurance on freights, and increased cost of labour. It is satisfactory to note that it has been necessary to prosecute in only two instances. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient, humble servant, "Fit May Governor,&c.
