The Cinderella of Empire

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

Sir,—In my recent contribution concerning the rendition of Weihaiwei, published in your issue of August 29, there occurs a printer's error, the omission of the word "not," which affects the meaning of one sentence and may be a cause of misunderstanding. The corrected sentence, with the missing word in italics, would read—"It was not till 1907, I am told, that the Colonial Office declared that there would be no compensation if rendition took place, but prior to that date British subjects were not only not warned against the risk they ran, but received distinct encouragement to invest capital in the colony."

I-am, ete, IMPARTIAL, Weihaiwei, Sept. 4, 1922,

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
