AMERICAN GENERAL
TO END WAR 1918
<By United Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—The war will
end in September, 1918, after an Am
erican general has done “wonderful
things” on the French front, according
to a Chinese prediction just received
here.
Parlsh-Watson and company, Chin
ese art importers, 560 Fifth avenue,
received a large “Tang” jar, valued at
!
$5,000, last week. The jar was made
about 1,000 years ago. When it was
unpacked, a piece of blue paper was
found at the bottom upon which were
four rows of Chinese characters which
when translated read:
“Some day one American young and
famous general will achieve w'onderful
things in the front of France, and this
great world war will be ended in Sep
tember, 1918.’’
It is supposed the prediction was
made by some Chinese “scholar,” or
philosopher, and was placed in the
jar before it was packed for shipment
at Hankow, China, last summer.

WAR MILLIONAIRE
DAYS ARE OVER
(By United Press)
TOKIO, Jan. 3.—The day of the nar
ikin, the mushroom millionaire born
with the war boom, is past in Japan.
With him have gone the 1,000 yen
geisha sprees, the flowing sake bowl
and the rest of the gay life which an
embattled Europe brought to Nippon
for the first time.
The government's ordinance for the
control of shipping America’s embargo
on the export of steel and gold and
the impossibility of importing Indian
cotton are among the principal causes
for the depression which has set in
here during the last few months.
The slump in the money market
which had been prevailing for some
i
few weeks became almost panicky in
the early days of November. Shares
of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, the coun
try’s largest steamship line, had fall
en from $200 to just half that quota
tion.
Unless the situation improves, it Is
feared that it wilt have grave conse
! quences when the settlement is made
in the financial world at the end of
the year.
