GERMANY UNABLE
SUPPRESS ALL
HOSTILENEWS
(By Associated Press)
AMSTERDAM, March 1. — The
great success of Libre Belgique, the
secretly circulated newspaper which
has defied all attempts of the Ger
man authorities at suppression, has
led to the starting of numerous simi
lar enterprises all through the occu
pied regions of Belgium and France.
Nobody pretends to know they are
printed or how they manage to get
into the hands of their readers. Yet
several of them appear with fair re
gularity, and attain an amazingly wide
circulation in spite of all the efforts
of the German intelligence service.
Most of these papers contain main
ly news of local interest, combined
with patriotic Belgian editorials and
brief digests of outside news obtained
secretly from French, English and
Dutch newspapers. The Libre Bel
gique is still the best known of these
secret newspapers, mainly because its
publishers always managed to make
a point of having a copy put on the
governor's desk, although how this is
done nobody seems to know.
Then there is a Weekly Review,
which has now reached its fifty-sev
enth number, and which devotes itself
mainly to summarizing the contents
of the leading French journals. The
Motus is the Belgian Punch, a humor
ous and satirical publication, whose
jokes are aimed largely at German of
ficials in occupied Belgium. The Pat
rie publishes news mainly from Dutch
sources, and reproduces many car
toons from the anti-German Dutch
papers.
There are also several so-called
news agencies which distribute sheets
of the news of the day to their sub
scribers, or lend out copies of smug
gled French and English newspapers.

CHINESE VOTE AGAIN S T
CONFUCIANISM
(By Associated Press)
PEKING, March 1. — Efforts to
make Confucianism the state religion
of China have again failed. Parlia
ment recently cast a vote on the
question of recognizing Confucianism
as the official religion in the proposed
new constitution, and the measure
was lost by a vote of 264 to 255.
Many politicians have refused to
participate in the religiouB discussions
in parliament, which have resulted in
much bitter feeling. Three and a hall
million Christian Chinese have stood
behind the members of parliament
who opposed the adoption of Confu
cianism, and conducted a very effec
tive campaign. The opposition of the
Christians was that no religion should
be recognized by the government, bui
that persons of all faiths should be
permitted to practise their religior
without government hindrance or sup
port.

75,000 GERMAN FAMILIES
TO TILL SOIL
(By Associated Press!
BERLIN, Mhrch 1. — Approximately
seventy-five thousand Berlin families
will take up gardening on a small
scale during the coming Bpring. The
number of these "volunteer garden
ers" which had been just above 2,000
before the war, had increased to
some 66,000 last summer and fall, and
gives every indication of going high
er this coming spring.
One result of the tremendous cam
paign for gardens, which make the
Berliner partly independent of the
market, has been to clean up count
less unsightly empty lots, especially
In the suburbs, which in peace times
had been used for dumping grounds
and all sorts of other purposes. Many
tennis courts have been sacrificed to
peas and beans and potatoes.

LONDON TO OPEN THEATRES
ON SUNDAYS
( By Associated Press)
LONDON. March 1. — Because 20,
000 soldiers wander about the streets
of London every Sunday night with
nowhere to go, the authorities have
been prevailed upon to consent to al
low a few theatres to be opened for
their entertainment. The law requir
ing theatres to remain closed on Sun
days is rigidly enforced in this coun
try, only moving picture houses, and
those in limited number, being al
lowed to run. Now, however, some
of the large theatres where regular
performances are given on week-days
are to be permitted to remain open
for the benefit of the fighting men.

PARIS, Feb. 28. — All foreigners
traveling in France or its colonies and
protectorates may be obliged to carry
an "identification card" after the war.
The chamber of deputies is discussing
a law to that effect, which also pro
vides that naturalized foreigners shall
carry an identification card for ten
years following the Issue of their pa
pers.
The voyages of naturalized foreign
ers under the provisions of this bill
are to be recorded on the card so that
their movements may be verified at
any time.
This is to repress sucret intelligence
work as it is alleged was done for
Germany on French territory before
the war.

TWO ROYAL PRINCES MAKE
GALLS ON OFFICERS
(By Associated Press)
HANOVER. Germany, March 1. —
Two royal princes, Frederieh Sigis
mtind and Frederieh Karl of Prussia,
sons of Prince Frederieh Leopold of
Prussia, who recently transferred
from the crack cavalry regiments to
which they belonged to the flying
corps, have inaugurated their entry
into the aerial forces by making a
call, via aeroplane, on old-time offi
cer friends stationed here.
The princes, until their transfer,
have been captains in the First and
Second Body Guard Hussar regiments
stationed at Danzig. They were
among the promising pupils of Dr.
Kraenzlein, the American trained en
gaged to prepare German athletes for
the since abandoned Olympic games
in 1916.
PORTRAIT DOLLS NOW FAD
IN PARIS
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, March 1. — Dolls resem
bling in form and features persons
who desire to hand down to posterity
as faithful a portrait of themselves
as possible have become a great fad
in Paris. It began with the caricatur

i with heads formed to accentuate the
I characteristic features of the original.
Now all sorts of people are having
i themselves portrayed in this new
i fashion. The facial resemblance is
■ not only reproduced as perfectly as
possible, but the dolls are dressed ir
i material approaching as nearly as pos
slble that of the original's clothing.
