Quick Action of China
a Surprise to GOOdnOW

Baltimore, Dec. 11.-Frank ]. Good

versity, who returned last autumn from
Peking, where he was constitutional ad-
wiser TO the Chinese Republic, was sur
prised at the action of the Council Of
State in making Yuan Shih-kai mon

81 did not think the return to n
monarchy would take place so soon,'
he said. 81 thought several months at
least would elapse before any such ac-

Chicago, Dec. l1.-A crazed connois-
seur with diabolical skill was the

tute officials and the police came 20 this

valued at upward Of $4,000, and three
Saint Gaudens coins, of priceless value
TO numismatists, were taken; and the
robbers made Intellectual attempts to
make away with the collection Of
worries, which is estimated all the way
from $4,000 to 100000.
Laverne W. Noyes. donor of the
stolen jewels, held a conference with
several directors lsJer, and they de-
cided to institute nationwide search
for the robbers.
The theft of the Noyes jewels was
discovered at 2 o'clock a. m. by the
1t was not until 8 a. m. that
the Saint Gaudens coins were found
TO be missing, and it was noon before
the attempt 10 steal the worries was
discovered.
The ivory collection, loaned TO the
institute, consisted mostly Of copies Of
twelfth and thirteenth century master
pieces. The robbers attempted 10
Jimmy" three Of the cases. Steel
levers had been inserted near the locks
and attempts had been made to pry
open the doors.
The burglars cut their way into the
Art Institute building, slid down rope,
traversed number OF DARK corridors
and stole the jewels from case not
fifty feet from where a guard was sit
ting. They then went 10 the second

Committee Denies Shortage.

In statement emanating from the
citizens committee it is denied that the
shipments are being made because
there is a general shortage Of food ex-
isting in Germany. 1t is claimed that
the only shortage which exists is in the
foods which are necessary for babies,
such as milk. The statement says:
"The ladies of the committee were de-
sirous of getting these parcels to tho
starving children of Germany and Aus
tria and donated sufficient funds for the
sending of condensed milk and other
foods mentioned to the little ones.
The committee alleges that there is
a shortage of stamps in New York. in
timating that the officials Of the post
Office were loath to accept the ship
ment, and used that means of delaying
the posting of the packages until they
could refer the matter 20 the authorl-
ties. There is no shortage Of stamps,
however, according TO the officials, who
say that there is a reserve supply IN
the central postoffice Of at least slOO,'
600.
1t is said that more shipments will
be made by the Citizens Committee as
fast as money can be gathered to pay
for the unusually high cost Of postage.
Postofice officials in Washington last
night were inclined to believe that the
belligerents have the right TO make any
restriction in regard TO first class mail
entering Germany from this country
that might be necessary to prevent
shipments of contraband. The question
is viewed as an entirely new one, but 1t
is pointed out that while it may be the
duty Of the United States 10 make every
reasonable effort to forward first class
mail, it is not the duty of the United
States 70 allow the mails 70 be used as
a means OF transporting contraband ar
ticles to belligerent country.
Parcel Post Abandoned
The abandonment Of the parcel post
between the United States and Germany
began last April. when several thou
sand packages which had been sent
from Germany by way of Switzerland
were returned because OF the interfer-
ence of the British and French govern
ments. Shortly afterward it was an

Morse Steamer Off with
Condensed Milk, Lard
and Rice.
KIN ASK HARVARD
MEN TO FEED THEM
Professors Get Pleas That Sup
plies Be Sent to Germany by
Parcel Post.

Elidence dcctImulntes that the
food situation in Germany is becomt-
ing desperate.
Condesned milk, rice and lard
consigned to Germany iCere sent
yesterday By frst-class mail from,
Ner York on the steamer K1istiGniG-
ford, Which ,oiH land at ChristiGniG.
Before the vessel d11fUes the q,les-
ton Of the Legality Of using the
United States postal serUice for this
purpose toM have been decided.
CrotCds are said to hare become
riotous in Berlin ard euen to hare
in8ulted the CroiOn Prince.
Professors Wiener and Biertoirth,
of Harvard, hare received from rel
dtiues in Germany requests that food
be sent by parcel post.
Food shipments of condensed milk,
rice and lard, consigned TO Germany,
left New York yesterday under the
protection of the United States gov
ernment in that the packages were sent
as first class mail matter and were
registered. Each package weighed
about seven pounds and was mailed at
a cost averaging $9.4S.
II was said at the Postoffice last
nipht that first class mail matter was
EXEMPT from seizure by the belliger-
euts ard that in accepting the snip
ments the royerlment practically in
sured the delivery Of the food. The
shipments were made by the Citizens
Committee for Food Shipments and
left on the Kristianiafjord which sailed
yesterday morning fol ChristiAnia.
Bought 1927 Worth of Stamps.
Last Friday night an agent Of the
committee presented himself at the
stamp window of the postofiice and
asked for 1927 worth Of stamps. The
wholesale department was closed, and
it was with difficulty that the total
amount could be made up. The pack
ages were then stamped and presented
at the receiving window. No instruc-
tions regarding such shipments had
been received from Washington, and
the packages were accepted and includ-
ed in the mails without question.
The Kristianiafjord was on the high
seas before the matter was called 70
the attention Of the authorities, and the
legality Of using the first class mail
service of the United States as pro-
lection for food shipments to Germany
will doubtless be decided upon before
the boat has a chance TO make its de-
livery at Christiania. II was said at the
postofice late last night that there was
no rule which could be invoked to pre-
vent such a shipment.
The shipments of parcel post pack
ages to Germany was suspended No
vember Is by an order Of the govern
ment, after the Holland-America Line
had refused TO take further shipments,
claiming that the mail service was
being interrupted by England because
Of the supply OF foodstuffs which was
leaking into Germany and Austria
Hungary by that means. Shipments of
food, it is said, averaged around 10000
parcels a week from the United States
until the parcel post service was aban-
doned.
