Germans were surrendering in large
numbers, British intelligence officer
was greeted by a group of prisoners

The officer showed surprise, but
the Germans continued to shout, "Hot

Nothing doing in hot meals" the
officer replied.
Thereupon the Germans pulled ont
leaflets carefully hidden away in their

The leaflets, apparently distributed
from the air, informed Fritz that IL he

In brief, military language the
British officer told the Germans that

leaflets and that there must be mis-

with:
Englishmen always keep their

CHINA LOOKING TO
PEACE CONFERENCE FOR
RELIEF FROM BURDENS

London, Jan. 20-China looks n
the Peace Conference for permission
to throw eff many of the burdens O.
extra-territoriality, according to in
formation received here. The Chi
hese nope also to be granted permits
sion to increase her tariffs to a point
which will give the republic chance
to end the rule of moneylenders and
establish more stable currency.
Under its agreement with the En-.
tente powers and the United States
to enter the war on the side of the
Entente, China was to be permitted
TO advance its import duties from to
10 per cent. But when the details
OF the promised increase were dis.
cussed Japan insisted that the valua.
tion upon which the tariff was to he
imposed should be based on the av.
erage price of goods for three years
before the increase. In other words
pre-war prices were to hold In de.
termining tariff duties and no real
gain came to China under such an
agreement.
China expects to have Tsingtau re.
stored to her, together with all the
rights held by the Germans at the
time the Japanese took over German
interests in Shantung peninsula the
first year of the war.
All the Entente powers executing
Russia agreed to waive all payments
of Boxer indemnity funds to their va.
rious governments for an indefinite
time in consideration of China's dec
laration Of war against the Central
Powers. 1t is believed likely that
China will make an effort to induce
the Peace Conference to soften the
burden Of the Boxer indemnity by
further postponement or cancellation.

MODEL ON AMERICAN CLUBS
France Considering Adoption of Our
Methods of Teaching Farming to
Boys and Girls.

France is considering the adoption
of Uncle Sans methods of teaching
better farming and home making to
boys and girls. Representatives from
the French high commission, lately in
this country, made point OF studying
carefully the methods Of the federal
department of agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges in conduct
ing boys and girls clubs. Much OF
the information thus collected has
been widely reprinted by the French
press, accompanied by editorial COM
ment expressing the view that, the
man or woman power of France hav-
ing been depleted or disorganized by
war service, France for some time to
come will be dependent in large part
upon it's younger population for its
food supply and suggesting the forma-
tion in France of a nationwide system
of boys and girls clubs patterned on
those in America. It is expected that
these clubs will grow staple products
garden produce, wool, farm grain
and forage crops, poultry and farm
animals on farms not devastated. the
very soil of which must first of all be
put in condition. They will stimulate
production by the young people OF
France through organized contests not
only in farming but in home enter
prises such as bread making, garment
making, cooking and home manage
ment,
