HELIGOLAND.
ISLANDERS WANT INDEPENDENCE, '. (By o&M*—Prow Awociatitm-jOopytlght.) (Australian and Njj. Cable Association^ (Received August 10, 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, August 9. The Berlin correspondent of the "Dailv Chronicle" reports that the Heligolanders intend to appeal to the League of Nations for their independence. They have issued a manifesto to the German public stating that their conditions were satisfactory until the British handed the island over to Germany. Then they were unhappy. When the islanders returned after the armistice they found their conditions unhappier still. Their homes were spoiled and their industries ruined, new taxation had been introduced and German police and workmen had arrived, importing chaos.
