ASKS AID OF JAPAN.
China's Desire to Get Germany Out of Shan
Tung.

Tacoma, Wash, May 20.-Mail ad-
vices by the orie ental liner Victoria,
say: Nearly all the Toxic journals
give publicity to rumor, apparently
emanating from Shanghai to the effect
that China has approached the Japan
csc government with request for aid
to get Germany out of Shan Tung. The
suggestion is that the Peking authori-
ties have at last been reused to the inn
minence of the dangers reatening
the Chinese empire, aud to the certain
ty of Its disruption unless some stop Is
put to the unscrupulous demands now
constantly preferred by western states.
Germany being regarded as the leader
in the game of aggression, and Shan
Tung possessing special sanctity in
Chinese eyes as the birthplace of
Confucius, tn ere is double reason for
the desire to get Germany out of the
dald.

COURTSHIP IN GERMANY.

When a girl has arrived at what
is considered manageable age in
Germany her parents invite young
men to the house" writes Charlotte
Bird, OF Girl Life in Germany, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. Two or three
are invited at the same time so that
the attention may not seem too point
ed. But no young man is ever in
yited to the house until after he has
called at least once, and thus signified
his wish to have social intercourse
with the family. If he call several
times in too close succession it is
taken for granted that he has 'inten-
tons. and he may be questioned con-
corning them. Generally an en-
gagement is made public as soon as
the arrangements can be made. This
is done by means of the newspapers
The man supplies a plain gold band

the engagement on the ring finger of

contracting parties are bride and

pie even the affianced couple is scarce

ing provided whenever the young Deo-
pie go out. betrothal may last
several years, until the bridegroom
can become settled in life. but in
most cases the marriage soon takes
place. Just before the marriage the
banns are published in the church,
