[ A. meeting, presided over by Mr Langguth, formerly Austrian consul, appointed committees for entertaining the officers and crew of the Emden.

It might he inferred that th# officers and crew did not desire a civic reception. This was not so. The Consul’s action, he considered, had been a mistake, even deserving of censure. Guarantees .towards the cost of the reception were opened and about £6O were given in the room, v Private cars were offered for excursions. Mr . Bernard Martin, one of three members of the Leaguo of Nations Union present stated that the Leaguo proposed to extend courtesies to the cruisers;captain as representative of a power which was a member of the League. Exactly what form these would take was not yet decided.
