To the Editor of the "Mobrh-Cuwn Dany NEWS"
Sm—I have been informed by the Shanghai Telephone Company that I am liable for the telephone that was taken from my house in Yangtszepoo during the period of the Sino-Japanese hostilities. I wonder if they knew that there was an air battle over our district on August 13 that made the popwaces of both Hongkew, and east of it run for their very lives. According to the Shanghai Telephone Company, though, our very first thoughts should have been given to the safety of their precious machines, which they had so kindly installed in our house, and which we so kindly paid for. I suppose everybody, with the exception of myself, who passed over the Garden Bridge that hectic day had a telephone grasped firmly in his right hand.
FLUSHED.
Shanghai, Mar. 7.
