WITH UNREST
LISBON, Portugal, July 2 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Portugal, in spit of all
the lurid reports spread abroad by
interested parties, is at the present
moment of social and economical
troubles no worse off than other coun
tries which participated in the great
war.
When one drives through Lisbon
and her suburbs on a Sunday and
watches the happy crowds holiday
making after the week’s work, the
impression gained is that it would be
difficult to find in any country such
a contented light-hearted people as
the Portuguese. Unless some means
of conveyance be previously engaged,
walking is the only method of loco
motion available on that day, for
trains, motorcars, carriages, carts,
and omnibuses are all hired or seats
booked in advance. Even the street
cars are filled to overflowing by work
men and their families on the way to
the outlying districts, smilingly bear
ing with them their picnic baskets.
The leafy avenues just outside the
city are filled with people afoot, sing
ing popular songs from the latest re
vues or exchanging merry jests, with
the people in the conveyance.
Outside and inside the railroad sta
tions, from early morning, are filled
with people of the more wealthy,
working classes, trying to obtain ac
commodations for a trip either to Cin
tra, Cascaes or the Estoril, the beau
tiful Riviera of Portugal.
It is true that besides all this mer
ry-making there is social unrest in
Portugal. Strikes are frequent but
generally peaceable; there is an oc
casional bomb and sometimes a street
riot, but Bolshevik revolution there is
none. When three bombs were recent
ly thrown into the ranks of a popular |
demonstration of gratitude to the gov
ernment for taking measures to lower
the prices of foodstuffs, most of the
demonstrators carried on as though
nothing had happened, as usual.
PREMIER WANTS
SUPI i NAVY
WELLINGTON, New Zealand, July
2 (by Associated Press).—Premier
William F. Massy declared in a
speech at an entertainment given by
the Savage club for the Prince of
Wales, that the British navy “must
be supreme at all costs.”
“I was one of those who at Paris
thought the League of Nations would
in a few years be strong enough to
exercise a profund influence in pre
venting war,” he continued. “I must
admit now that the League of Nations
is a great disappointment. We look I
around and two see two great powers I
Japan and America, building bigger
and more powerful ships than ever.
Those powers clearly do not believe
that the League of Nations can end
war.
“It would be calamitous if when war
comes other nations should possess
more numerous and more powerful
ships than Britain, whose empire de
pends on her sea power.”

CRIME WAVE IS
SWEEPING THRU
GERMAN CITIES
r
BERLIN, July 2 (by Associated
Press).—The wave of criminality in'
Germany shows no sign of abating. |
Jails are filled to capacity with the
thieving fraternity, from those guilty!
of grand larceny down to the sneak j
thieves of the big city streets. Very,
often new arrivals have to be tempor- j
arily released from custody owing to '
lack of room in the penitentiaries.!
Here are some of the principal thefts j
and robberies reported in the last few >
days.
Burglars broke into the Berlir- stock
exchange and forced a safe open
from which they took 3,500 marks and |
five typewriters.
At Kresau, the mausoleum of Field i
Marshal Von Moltke was broken open
and the silver wreaths and crosses
stolen from the sarcophagus. The j
field marshal’s sword was, found
broken.
A band of armed robbers forced !
their way into the burgomaster’^
house at Paaren near Nauen, appro
priated 50,000 marks belonging to the
village treasury and left the burgo
master tied to a chair.
At Fallersleben near Brunswick the
author of a theft from a sealed freight
car was traced and several carloads
of stolen goods were discovered hid
den. The chief was a candidate for
a town councillorship.
At Spanrau a morturay chapel was i
stripped of its leaded window panes, j
Another morturay chapel at Staak-J
en was stripped of its zinc roof.
In a popular Berlin suburb, a,
woman left her baby in a perambula- j
tor outside the store for a few minutes ;
and the perambulator disappeared.!
The baby was found half naked in a
doorway.

UNAUTHORIZED
NOTE TO CHINA
FROM SOVIETS
|
PEKING, July 2 (by Associated j
Press).—Inquiry by China’s delegate ;
in Siberia, Li Chia-ao, concerning the
proffered restoration to China by the ;
Soviet government of the Chinese;
Eastern railway and all mining and
forestry concessions by former gov- j
ernments of Russia appears to show j
that the communication received by j
the Chinese government in the last j
days of March was unauthorized.
The note purported to be signed by |
the Soviet delegate to the council of
commissaries of Siberia and the Far
East, Janson, by direction of the
commissary for foreign affairs at Mos
sow, Harakin. A telegram from Li
Chia-ao to his government says no
such communication was signed by;
Janson. An announcement of the fact!
has accordingly been sent out to all
the provinces by the Chinese cabinet,
concluding with a warning against
and instructions to check bolshevik
propaganda.
