TRADE WITH GERMANY
SUSPICIOUS COMMUNICATIONS
[Special to the ' Star.'!
CHRISTCHURCH, September 25. A fairly large number oi residents of Ohristchurch have handed to the Chamber of Commerce letters which it is believed wore written with the object of (securing trade for Germany. These letters come from neutral countries. In most cases the wording is guarded, and leaves room for only suspicion; but in at least one case the writer frankly states he is ready to overcome any difficulty in tho way of communication between New Zealand and countries engaged in the war. Several tempting oilers of business are made. The Chamber of Commerce will forward the letters to the Board of Trade, and probably they will be brought _ under the notice of the' Imperial authorities.
