SHANGHAI. Dec. 15.-ForeIgn
and native police departments
throughout China are engaged in a
hunt today that involves a story as
weird as any Oriental tale. A green
jade jewel has disappeared. Its
latest owner escaped death, after
being shot in the head and is spend
ing thousands in an endeavor TO
recover the gem.
Woo Sing-faung. owner of a tiny
shop in the exclusive BubbIing Well
district, is a dealer in rare gems.
How he came to possess the fateful
jewel, known in Chinese as The
Jade" he refuses to disclose.
A short time ago a well dressed
stranger. apparently an American,
entered the shop and asked to see
the choicest jewels. The shopkeep-
er believed his customer to be a
man of wealth and suggested he
obtain some rarer articles than
those on display. The foreigner
agreed and an appointment was
made for the next day.
When the customer kept the ap-
pointment, the merchant brought
forth necklaces and unmounted jade
OF rare value. From the lot the
foreigner selected jewels valued at
5000 taels (about $4,000. He then
requested the jeweler to accompany
him to his home nearby, where
the transaction would be completed
Wait" urged the merchant.

Paris Flat Hunters
Read Death Notices

PARIS Dec. -13.-Fear of ghosts
is no longer a deterrent when it
comes to renting a fiat in Paris, and
in the light of recent episodes Paris
writers are declaring that the war
killed superstition.
A few days ago the French wife
of an English stable hand named
OBrien murdered her husband and
committed suicide with a razor. The
crime was not known until the first
edition of the morning papers, is
sued at 5 o'clock.
At $40 the first nat hunters ar
rived at the apartment where the
dead man and woman lay, and be-
fore the morning was three hours
older no less than sixty-four per-
sons had formed a queue outside
the door, all hoping to rent the
apartment.

forty-nine applications were re-

WOMEN WARNED
TOCEASE SPYING
Mulcahey Papers Tell of
Banishment From
Ireland.

LONDON, Dec. Establishment Is
the penalty in ireland for women,
other than Irish women, who spy on
the activities of the Irish army. This
fact and a second, establishing the
connection between Irish republican
army leaders and the Dali Eireann
are the chief points in the disclos-
ures today OF the secret history of
lreland's military chief-of-staff.
The documents known as the Null
cahey papers establish that the Dali
Eireann. the Parliament Of the Sim
Fein Republic of Ireland, was and
is the final authority in the Irish
republican movement. Michael COL
Inns. commander-in-chie of the
Irish republican army. according to
these papers, organized a special So
ciety of women to do intelligence
work for the Sim Fein army leaders
and to carry messages; but he did
not overlook the possibility that
some women might also be doing
similar work for the British forces
Evidence of this is found in the fol-
lowing general order. dated as fol-
lows:

quarters, Dublin. Nov. 3: General
orders, new series. 1920; Number 13,

HOTELS BOYCOTT
REICHSTAC FOR
FOOD SEIZURES
Lawmakers Now Forced
To Buy it Elsewhere, Is
Reprisal Edict.

BERLIN, Dec Is. - Seventeen
members of the German Reichstag
will feel the effect of the strict laws
they have been passing against IL
licit dealing in food.
Tired of continuous prosecutions
by the ever-vigilant government
agents, who make frequent and un-
expected searches, a hotel company
that operates a restaurant at the
Reichstag, and one in the Geological
Gardens, the Bristol, two other large
hotels and a number of cafes, an
bounced that beginning today they
would discontinue serving food at
all of these establishments.
The guests, among whom are
many officials of the allied govern
ments, will be permitted to continue
TO live in these hotels. but they will
only be able to get morning coffee
there. All other drinks and foods
will not be sold as the bars and
kitchens Will be closed.
No longer will the banquet halls
of the restaurants in the ZoologicaI
Gardens be the scene of elaborate
birthday parties and other festiv-
tiles. as only wines will be served
there, that is unless the guests
bring their own bologna and cheese
sandwiches with them.
Today is the second time in two
weeks that this company has
stepped into the limelight, as a gov
ernment statement, which later was
declared an error. was made ten
days ago to the effect that it would
be forced to discontinue the sale of
food as result of violations of the
law.
The latest action is expected to
bring to a head the war between
the proprietors OF hotels and res
taurants and the government,
and unless the restrictions are modi-
ned the union of German hotel
owners may make sgood its threat
of last week to close the 5000 hotels
they control in various German
cities.

Fehrenbach Speech
By KARL Fl. Won wIEGAND.

BERLIN. Dec. 13.-That the Unit
ed States is still an associate of the
allied powers came out today when
II developed that Commissioner
Dresel, presumably acting under in
structions from the State Depart
ment, had taken parallel action with
England. France and Belgium in CEN
suring Chancellor Fehrenbach and
Foreign Minister Simons for
speeches made in occupied territory.
Dresers action appears to have
been independent of the allies, large
ly perhaps because the commission
ers here cannot act officially. 1t is
believed that the State Department
hardly would have made the move
in Berlin unless approached by the
allies.
1t has given rise to renewed cir
culstion of reports of a fortnight
ago that Washington has given ap-
proval to the allied plan that France

Much has been said about the hon

man. The world has neglected to men-

women. They proved this ability in
the last financial campaign Of the z.

Ordinarily three weeks are allowed
in which to raise the budget by SUBJ
scription after the finance committee
has decided upon the sum necessary
to carry on the work Of the coming

ried on entirely by Chinese women and
broke all records by going over the

conference, are to take an active part
In promoting this health program for
women which will be the share OF the
Y. W. G. A. In the big health move
ment in China.
The funds for establishing these
health centers, for demonstrations of
how to care for babies, for health
lectures for the women, for babies dis
ipensaries and for general educa-
tional campaign, will be raised by the
American Y. W. @. A. as part Of its
program of world service for women
and girls in 1920.
Dr.. Ida Kahn, in recent appeal to
modern Chinese women said, "Let our
women Of education In Peking and
elsewhere gather themselves together
to work for the schools. Red Cross and
Y. w. G. A, and everything else which
bespeaks the rbetterment Of the coun-
try, instead Of staying at home to play
poker and sparrow, and going out to
attend endless dinners, tea parties and
dances.
~Let US rally our forces and help the
ship Of state to move safely. One per.
son cannot accomplish much, but one
or two hundred millions Of women can
work wonders. Let US go back to a
more Spartan-like simplicity Of living
and let us build up social service until
every city in China is sanitary, every
section Of the town has its proper
schools, and every child, whether boy
or girl, Is sent to such schools. True
social service brings democracy in it's
train, and we who are citizens Of
new republic can help to make 1t truly
great by preaching and living democ-
racy all the time. Why not learn to
do our household duties, deemIng It
effemInate to be waited upon by maids
and slave girls all the time?
1.-THE status Of women in China,
while leaving much to be desired, still
is quite hopeful when we consider
that she is just emerging into the sis
terhood of the nations. Our men can
depend upon US to bear the burdens Of
the day, for nowhere is there more
industrious, diligent and persevering
womanhood than In China"
Dr. Kahn is lecturing In this coun-
try on, the needs of her fellow country
women, In the interests Of the z. w.

plans to acquaint people with all
phases Of z. w. @. A. work IN the
