INTERNATIONAL COURTESIES

To the Editor of the "Norra-Camna Datty News."

On the occasion of the funeral of the late King of Great Britain the flags were seen half-mast on all the Municipal buildings, the colours were also displayed in honour of the British King's coronation. Why is no similar honour done to-day to the late Emyeror of Japan, whose subjects like the British are inhabitants of this settlement? It is not the first time, that less respect is paid to other nationalities than to the British section by the Municipal Council of this International Settlement.

Enclosing my card, I am, ete A Gramax, Bhanghai, Sept. 13.
