BUYS CAMEROONS
LONDON, Jan. 6.—Whether Great
Britain is to bring back her army
of occupation from Germany is now
a question perturbing the British
cabinet.
According to the Treaty of Ver
sailles, the military occupation of
Germany should end in January,
1925, provided that Germany has
satisfied the demands made on her
in regard to both reparations and
disarmament. The acceptance of
the Dawes plan has settled the first
condition. The second depends on
the report of the Inter-Allied com
mission, which, after long inquiry,
is to report to the Council of Am
bassadors in Paris.
It is pretty generally believed
that the French and Belgian dele
gates on the commission will report
against Germany. The British rep- j
resentatives are expected to report
that, on the whole, the Germans
have fairly satisfied the require
ments of the treaty in regard to dis
armament. But this difference of
opinion can only result in the con
tinued occupation of Germany by
the allied forces.
What line of action will the Brit
ish cabinet then take? It probably
will be decided by the facts that, al

though the British troops occupy
Cologne and the adjacent area, they
only do so as part of the combined
armies of occupation. This means
that if the British forces drew out
immediately, they would be at once
and automatically, replaced either
by French or Belgians.
This would have several effects.
It would be totally against the
wishes of the inhabitants; it would
convert the Ruhr into a kind of
French island; and it probably
would militate against the carrying
out of the Dawes plan.
Consequently, if the French and
the Belgians decide to continue their
armies of occupation—as is most
likely—then the British cabinet will
decide to retain its troops also.
It will be a reluctant decision be
cause the British army is now so
small that not even a brigade can1
be spared for service in Germany.
But on grounds of general policy, it
is likely to be decided that military
necessities must give way to politi
cal ones.
HEREDITY OR APPETITE?
HERE'S PROBLEM IN MICE
LONDON, Jan. 6.—Sir E. Sharp
ley Hafer, psychologist of interna
tional fame, speaking before learned
scientists at the annual dinner of
the Royal Society, said it had been
proven that mice are strongly af
fected by heredity. He declared
trained mice come for food at the
ringing of a bell.
■ The first generation of mice came
at 100 rings, but the second genera
tion came at fifty rings and the third
at twenty rings. After five or six
generations they got it down to three
rings.

SCIENTISTS TELL
NEEDS OF WORLD
LONDON, Jan. 6.—Under the head
ing of “What the World Wants,” Sir j
Robert Hadfield, famous English sci
entist, enumerates the four following
things as those most needed by the
world.
An alloy, ferrous or non-ferrous,
possessing 5 per cent to 100 per cent
higher tenacity than any known com
bination, while at the same time not
being brittle.
A lighting apparatus capable of
penetrating a fog.
Refractory materials for the lining
of steel molting furnaces and ladies
that would be absolutely unattacked
by erosion or corrosion.
A safe method of stopping steam
ers and ships rolling in the roughest
weather.
FEMALE “RAFFLES”
OF LONDON CAUGHT
AFTER THREE YEARS
LONDON, Jan. 6—London’s fe
male “Raffles,” heroine of several
score burglaries, has met her Water
loo and been “sent-up” for twenty
one months. Petite, auburn-haired,
fashionably dressed, in stolen rai
ment, wept pathetically in court.
For three years she had been
shadowed by detectives, always sus
pected, but always sufficiently clev
er to avoid capture. And then, just
a piece of bad silk led to her un
doing.
Chrissie Deardon specialized in
robberies of flats, and her loot was
jewelry, or expensive apparel. Al
ways garbed in the height of fash
ion, she would walk, unnoticed, into
a building filled with high-class
flats, and ring the bell at one of
the doors. If there was any an
swer, she would ask impulsive ques
tions about an imaginary sister.
But if nobody answered, after a
prolonged period, she wrould raise
the beading in the light of the
door, break the small glass panel,
place the pieces in her handbag,
and then, slipping her slender hand
through the aperture, draw back
th elatch and give herself the “open
sesame.” Her proceeds ranged from
$400 to $ro,ooo.
One day, when Chrissie was ex
ploiting her customery method, the
door of an adjacent flat opened, and
a lady inquired what she was doing.
Chrissie gave the usual reply, but
the lady recognized her as having
been on a similar errand in the
building a month before, and rang
for the janitor.
Chrissie made a run for it, but
was caught.

HAWAIIAN BANDSMEN
RAISING SICK FUND
HONOLULU, T. H„ Jan. 6.—Hono
lulu’s famous Hawaiian band, which
has been playing boats in and out of
this port for thirty years, went down
to the dock to bid a musical farewell
to the pleasure yacht Kaimiloa (M.
R. Kellum, owner), as she started
for a winter’s cruise in the South
Seas. Touched by the strains of
“Aloha Oe,” Kellum leaned over the
rail as the lines were being cast
off and handed a check of $500 to
Major Kealakai, bandmaster. Keal
akai has placed the money in a
trust company’s care, and the Hono
lulu Ad Club has started a campaign
to increase the fund to an amount
sufficient to take care of sick or dis
abled bandsmen.

BILLION MORE FISH
IN CANADIAN STREAMS
OTTAWA, Ont., Jan. 6.—More than
900,000,000 young fish and eggs were
distributed this year to inland lakes
and rivers of Canada by the federal
hatcheries, according to a report is
sued by the department of marine
and fisheries. The varieties releas
ed weresalmon, whitefish, perch and
bass and pike.
More whitefish were distributed
than any other variety, it is shown,
the number totaling 522,147,000. These
were planted in lakes in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Wild Ducks Display
Gratitude for Meals
KINGSVILLE, Ont., Jan. 6.—Inter
esting data on how birds of a feather
flock together, and how they return
year after year in the course of mi
grations to any port that will provide
I them with protection and food, has
[been obtained by Jack Miner, natu
ralist, at his bird sanctuary here.
Mr. Miner caught 17 wild ducks in
a net and ascertained that six of the
birds had already been marked with
his aluminum tags bearing various
verses of scripture. One bird had
been marked in 1918. All the birds
were supplied with 1925 tags.
