HELIGOLANDERS
APPEAL FOR INDEPENDENCE. Preai Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 9. (Received Aug. 10, at 8.30 p.m.) The Daily Chronicle’s Berlin correspondent reports that Heligolanders intend to appeal to the League of Nations for independence. They have memorialised the German public, stating that conditions were satisfactory until the British handed the islands over to Germany, and then they were unhappy. When the islanders returned after the armistice they found the conditions unhappier still. Their homes were* spoiled, and industries were ruined. New taxation had been introduced, and the German police and workmen had arrived, adding chaos to the situation.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
