WHITE GIRLS A PROBLEM
IN LOMD0N'S CHINATOWN

London. (By Mail. )-London ma
gistrates are perplexed over the
problem of young girls Infatuated
with the yellow and black men who
have their residence around Lime
house.
Miss Lee. a property owner and
the guide, philosopher and friend of
her Chinese tenants, says that in
her experience the Cinnamon, while
they certainly do regard the wife as
chattle, are not cruel to her and
quite a number of them are exceed
ingly chivalrous. "The men," she
said, "do not go out of this district
to look for the women. The women
come here"
A woman missionary, after con-
versing with some of the young and
pretty girls who have taken up per-
manent residence in Limehouse, SAYS
that in her opinion most of them go
among the colored men in search of
adventure. after reading sensational
literature or seeing Chinese films. A
few Of these girls are of an edu-
Gated and refined type, and many
of them uncommonly pretty.
"There are many white slaves in
Chinatown" she said. "Heaps more
today than in times past. One girl
brings another. They are attracted
by the strangeness and unfamiliar
quality of the Oriental. The Chinese
give no trouble, but the black men
do. They have no such ideas of
chivnlrv as the Cinnamon have"
Recently at the Thames police
court, Magistrate Cairns, said this
extraordinary infautuation was the
greatest problem he had to deal with.

WAR "MYsTERY' MADE CLEAR
Men on the Leviathan Now Under.
stand How Their Officers Detected
Them In Smoking.

Men who, sailed on the Leviathan
when she was being used us a trans
port will learn with interest the ex-
PLANTATION Of n mystery" Of the giant
liner In those war days, mystery
which has been the subject of many n
midnight conference In the lee of the
deckhouse. Only recently a former
officer of the Leviathan told the story.
It appears that several of the crew
sought n lower hold far from the
haunts of the officers on duty and
there. believing themselves carefully
concealed, they smoked to their hearts
content. But the ship had fire de-
lection system consisting of n series of
pipes to the holds, through which a
suction fan is continually drawing air
samples to the wheelhouse. Thus the
officer on duty there noticed the curl
ing wisps of smoke coming out of the
pipe from one Of the lower holds.
Shifting the smoke he detected the old
familiar odor of tobacco.
1t was an easy matter to hurry
down and catch the men In the act
and start them on round OF extra
duty, which cured them Of smoking
aboard ship. They were puzzled to
know how the officer had traced them.
The hold was way down near the keel,
far from the wheelhouse and there had
nt been another man within many
yards OF their position. They knew
no officer had followed them and they
took 1t for granted that there was no
direct connection between the hold
and the wheehouse., And no one en-
lighte.frd them during many trips 10

More young women commit suicide
between the ages of fifteen and
thirty-fve than Young men, but
once thirty-fve is attained the po-
sition is entirely reversed.
"Men suicides are largely in the
mQiority."
DR.. Oldfeld thipks the reason
women are so much happier after
thirty-five is because they have
passed the ideals of girlhood and
reached disillusionment. They have
reached the stage where family ties
become more binding and the love of
children makes them cling to life
Mt all costs.
London's leading ladies in the po-
litical, educational, business and So

 "The courage of the Americans was beyond all praise.

 The End Division, which had been in reserve near Montdidier,, was sent at the same time by every available means of transport to help in the effort at holding back the enemy who with increasing forces was bear ing down upon Paris.
 On June 6, against the best Ger man guard divisions, the Marines led ] charge which, by midnight, had ended in the capture of the village and railroad station of Boureches. <
 The next objective was Belleau Wood. a point of vital importance In this attack the conduct of the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Division was so brilliant. in combat with a nu. merous and ferocious enemy, that after the capture of Belleau Wood the General commanding the 9th French Army decided it should hence forth be called Marine Brigade Wood.' The 3rd Brigade of Marines was cited by the French 9th Army as having given Superb example of dash. abnegation and sacrifice and as having taken an important part ip the victorious attack which led to the evacuation of French territory and which forced the enemy to soli cit an armistice.
 Though the End Division had been fighting steadily for over two weeks it was able, before being relieved, tc seize the villagSf of Vaux, in an of fensive so perfectly planned and car ried out with such precision, that il was described by the French as destined to remain model of its kind"
