BRITISH IN HAMBURG
WELL TREATED, BUT IN DIFFICULTIES. (Received September 7, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, 6th September. An Australian who has reached London from Hamburg via Amsterdam estimates that there are a thousand British in Hamburg, not counting the crews of forty or fifty ships. The British have full liberty, and are treated as ordinary inhabitants by the shopkeepers if they have money, but none are allowed to be employed. Many are^ glad to receive one or two marks (shillings) daily from the relief funds. Hamburg, he says, is a •cosmopolitan city, aad more latitude is allowed there than elsewhere. The feeling against the British is Very bitter, but Germans are anxious not to offend the Americans, so the British escape detection. There is complete ignorance in Hamburg regarding the war, and no casualty lists have been published.
