To the Editor of the "Norra-Curna Dar ¥ News."
Sir,—A short time ago, one of your correspondents said, that the "Trenches" were mostly used by sailors and seafaring men. And again on Thursday, Dr. Darroch writes to say that the residents of the "Trenches" district protest against having to pass intoxicated sailors, threatening each other with sticks, ete.
If your correspondents would be a little more precise and give the nationality of these sailors, things would be a little clearer. The term "sailors" includes all nationalities thereby throwing discredit on one and all. If your correspondents paid a visit to these places in the early hours, and saw, the number of motor-cars that are waiting for their owners, perhaps they would alter their opinions about sailors and seafaring men. Of course, the "Knuts" of Shanghai could not visit these' places. "T have just come from the Club? dear!"
I am, ete., Samour Serxcrr. Shanghai, Jan. 28.
