VILLAGE OR TOWN?

SIR,—A small point perhaps, but I was surprised to see Jiffich and Duren described as "villages" in Mr. Wilson Harris's most interesting article German Impressions. Not much of them remains, it is true, but their populations in 1939 were 11,569 and 45,441, respectively.—Yours. truly,
