A STRANGE combination Of
nationalities has been re-
vealed by the researches or Prof.
Pelhot Of the College de France
wherein he recounts the history
in the seventeenth century Of
"Chinese Jew" who stirred the
tempers Of his fellow theologians.
"He was known as Ngai,"
writes Prof. Pelliot, "and be-
longed to the Jewish community
of Kaifong Fou. But Ngai, while
he professed the Jewish faith,
aroused the ira Of the rabbis by
deyoting lis me to Chinese let
ters and science. 1t was the
highly developed bartering in
stinct which induced him to fore
go the friendship Of his fellow
Hebrews, as toward his old age
he offered to abandon the faith if
given Chinese degree of doctor
or mandarinatc."

New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, April 3.
With Americans beginning TO arrive
in Paris in large numbers, marking
the Inauguration OF the real pleasure
season in the French metropolis, tho
outstanding feature Is that while many
Of these tourists are coming with all
the zest of unslaked thirst, blight
has fallen on the restaurant life for
which this city is famous. During the
last two months some of the most no.
table restaurants OF Paris have suf-
fered a falling Off in receipts ranging
from % to 40 per cent. This is caus-
ing disrnay to the restaurateurs, who,
with the removal of the midnight clos-
ing rule, had expected to do large
business.
: Americans returning to Paris pro-
fess amazement IT the change which
has occurred here in the last twelve
months. A year ago this city was on
the full rebound from the restrictions
imposed during the war. and tho restau-
rants and dancing places were packed
every night, whils money flowed freely
on all sides.
Money Spending Is Ended.
Americans who are making d pill
grimmage to Montmartre are finding It
pathetic at Monico's. Pigalle's and the
Royal, with the tables empty and the
proprietors hungrily watching the door
for the entrance OF customers with
money. whilo the orchestras are playing
for few love couples Tho Cafe de
Paris, Rizzos and similar places are
showing the same blight. The reason
for this Is plain. France has had to
suddenly tighten her belt. The money
spending orgy OF Frenchmen who were
made wealthy by the war is over. All
classes here are blaming It on the Ger
man failure TO pay France for the dam
age wrought by Germany's army.
Eliminating the old French Thigh
l!fers.' these places now have only
Americans and English TO look to for
patronage. Upon these visitors depends
the restoration OF the old Paris night
life. The greater burden is resting on
the Americans this season, and 1t will
be heavy one.

Japan's Acceptance
Note Is Silent on
Far East Question

Washington, July 14-Japans ac-
ceptance of President Harding's sug-
eestion that a conference to discuss
limitation of ornaments was received
at the state department today. but
made no reference to the question of
o discussion Of the Far Eastern ques-
ton. Unqualified acceptance by the
Chinese government also was re-
ceived. State department officials
would make no comment on the form
of the Japanese reply which was not
made public in text.
Silence of the Japanese government
as to discussion of Far Eastern prob
lens was not believed to have inter-
posed any serious obstacle to the
carrying out Of the plan.
The Japanese reply was made
through the American embassy at
Toxic, which is understood not to
ton. Unofficial dispatche~ from To-
have supplanted it with any explana =
kio and from London have created
the impression that Japan would be
willing to join in a frank discussion
of the Far Eastern question. although
other informal dispatches also have
indicated that the Toxic government
must move with caution on account
of the political factions and schools
of thonpht in Japan.
