The Chinese government has been
living for a number of years largely
on loans procured from European,
countries. These loans came to an
abrupt end when the war began. The
Chinese government endeavored to
make domestic loans. but succeeded
only in a comparatively insignificant
way. II Is now trying to institute a

STAMPS GIVEN IN PARIS WHEN
RIGHT CHANGE NOT HANDY
(By Associated Press. }

Paris, Nov. 22.-Notices have
cafes that patrons who do not have
the riSht change to pay for refresh
ments VIII have to accept postage
stamps or checks fpr change for any
sum less than ten sous This is an
other indication OF the scarcity of
coppo-s which numerous collections
for charitable PURPOSES have with
drawn temporarily from circulation,
and the fact that since small money
became scarce there has been tend
encv on the part of the people to
cling tc what they have. Some peo-
pie are said to be boarding coppers
because they are afraid they will
get entirely out of them, and others,
it is charged, are collecting them
with the less worthy motive of max
ing five francs premium on every
hundred francs in copper coins de-
liverei at certain confidential
points. 1t is the old story of the
| Germans trying tc drain France of
it's copper. The real reason is
thought in officia: circles to be sim
ply that the absence of gold over
works all the minor denominations
copper and nickel, as we'll as sill
yer.
The mint is handicapped by the
modifying of some OF it's machines
for other urgent work for the ma
tionai defense and the copper coin
age fell last month to 10000
francs.

PORTUGAL IS SUFFERING
OF SCARCITY OF FOOD
BY Associated Press. }

Lisbon, Portugal, Nov. 22.-Por-
tugal is more remote from the seat
of war than any other country in
Europe. but it is suffering a scarcity
of food that is as serious as that in
some of the belliscrent countries.
Provision stores and depotsy are
the scenes of almost daily riots in
protest against tie conditions. On
the night oe Oct 81, for instance. a
mob of 1000 men, some of them
armed with pick axes and other i'm
plem5nts, stormed the provision
store of an important English deal
er in the Almada district and plum
defeG the place. The Republican
guard, which crossed the river to
restore order, was received by the
mob by shots and bombs, The guard
fired se.aral vollcys and numerous
persons Oh both sides were wounded.
The scarcity of food is due in
part to the fact that successive gov
ernment5 of Portugal have bound
themselves to supply Great Britain
with certain quantities of provisions
sent TO Gibraltar Under this agree
ment large numbers of cattle and
miscellaneous provisions are sent
out OF the country every week with
the result that there has been al
most no meat in the markets of Lis
bon. The egg supply is also less
than half of what it is in ordinary
times. the shortage being partly due
to the fact that a good many eggs
are sent surrep.itiously over the
border into Spain where they may
be srld for double the price fixed
officially by the government in the
food markets here.

Washing ton, Nov. 22-Bids for
submarines for the United States
Navy will hereafter be asked on the
basis Of plans prepared by the Nav
al constructors Heretofore the
Navy merely has asked for bids for
submersibles to perform certain ser
lice and the bidders have furnished
he plans. The old practice of sub
mittiEa to bidders only the general
requilr ments of the navy will be
u abandoned but that will not prevent
bidders holding patents from sub
mitting alternative bids and between
the two the Navy may make its
choice. The fact that such progress
in submarine construction has been
made by the Navy's own construc-
tors to permit of such a departure is
disclosed in the annual report of
Rear Admiral David W Taylor,
chief of the bureau of construction
and repair.

GEORGIA SUFFRAGETTES MAX.
ING FACES AT EACH OTHER

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 30 2-llostilities
are on again among the various suf-
Iragette organizations in Georgia
Although the different organizations
iaNoring votes for women in this
state have been at dagger points for
some time past, they agreed to
truce for the purpose of the parade
in Atlanta. but the truce was short
lived and now the parade itself Is
the center of new acrimonious dis
cussion.
1t seems that a lot of traffic was
let in on the parade, breaking up it's
various sections and disappointing
those who participated in it, Street
cars. trucks, automobiles crossed the
line of march ana destroyed the con-
tinuity of the pageant.
Miss Eleanor Raoul. marshal of
the parade. and leader of the suf-
fragettes in Atlanta, Indignantly
says that the failure of the parade
was due to the inefficient manner in
which the situation was handled by
the police.
But Mrs. Frances Whiteside,
president of the Georgia Woman
Suffrage League, Cnmmends highly
the conduct of the police and de-
clares that all the trouble was oc-
casiohcd by the fact that Miss Raoul
did not start the Parade on schedule
time.
