WARSAW ALARMED
BY STRANGE INFLUX
OF CHINESE TRADERS
WARSAW, Poland, Mar. 25.—(AP)
—Fearing a so-called Chinese inva
sion because of the visits to this
country of nearly 1,000 Orientals
during the last few months, the Pol
ish government has decided that no
more Chinese will be admitted until
their applications have been passed
upon by the Warsaw Foreign Office.
The Chinese government, it is un
derstood, is awaiting further details
of the Polish government’s action
before taking up the question with
the Warsaw officials.
The invasion began last fall when
Chinese peddlers began arriving in
Warsaw with Chinese wares and cu
rios, most of them coming by way of
Berlin, where visas had been grant
ed by the Polish consulate. Some
weeks later several hundred addi
tional Chinese applied or permis
sion to come to Warsaw and were
granted visas, and early this year
there were further applicants until
it is estimated that approximately
1.000 peddlers had visited the coun
try, all representing themselves to
be tradesmen.
Recalling the fact that several
months prior to the put break of the
war Poland, then under Russian
rule, was visited by several thous
ands Chinese, all representing them
selves to be tradesmen and speak
ing Russian and German fluently,
the Polish authorities have become
suspicious. They have received re
ports from their agents that some
of the Orientals posing as trades
men are in reality engaged in espi
onage, probably for the Bolshevist
government. They speak Russian
as well as German, and appear to be
prosperous whether they do much
business or not.
Alaska Company Proposes
To Operate Air Limousine
JUNEAU, Alaska, Mar. 26— (AP).
—Incorporation papers for Alaska’s
first aerial company, filed at the
territorial capitol here in February
revealed that the Fairbanks Air
plane Corporation of Fairbanks in
tends to purchase a $30,000 air
limousine to carry eight passengers
comfortably to points in the inte
rior.
The company was capitalized for
$50,000. The incorporators were R.
C. Wood, president of the First Na
tional Bank, J. Fred Struthers, and
James A. Rodebaugh, pioneer air
plane owner of the north, all of
Fairbanks. The company success
fully operated three planes to min
ing camps last summer from Fair
banks. One of the planes was offer
ed to Roy S. Darling, former navy
aviator, and Ralph P. Mackie, of Al
aska, an employe of the Alaska
Railroad, to make a proposed flight
to Nome. 920 miles from Fairbanks,
with a consignment of diphtheria
antitoxin, but was not used because
dogs were well on the way to Nome
before the weather permitted avia
tion.
Clubs of London Decide
to Offer Bed and Board
LONDON, Mar. 26.—Mdst of the
London clubs have decided to add
bedrooms to their quarters for the
convenience of their guests. This
innovation has come about gradual
ly during the last year or so, chiefly
on account of the fact that hotels
here have been so crowded.
The United Universities, the Uni
ted Services, Carlton, Reform and
Devonshire clubs, among others
have found it necessary to add sleep
ing quarters to their premises, and
the Union club in Carlton House
terrace will have its own bedrooms
when it reopens next summer. The
oldfashioned Atenaeum also is on
the list.
Jack Kearns, Dempsey’s manager
was exonerated of a charge of as
sault brought at Los Angeles by
Mrs. Mary C. Tenney, who lost hei
suit for $200,000.
Miss Mabel Durham, former Ca
nadian newspaper woman, is head oi
the women’s colonization depart
ment of the Canadian National Rail
ways, with headquarters in London
British Women’s Clubs
Purely Sociable In
Nature, Prove Failures
LONDON, Mar. 26.—(AP).—Clubs
for women are not a success in
London, at least those merely for
social intercourse, and several have
gone into bankruptcy while others
saved themselves by the process of
amalgamation.
Something more than social amen
ities are required to keep a club
| together, and this is exemplified by
the flourishing condition of the La
dies’ Carlton Club ,which has an im
portant political atmosphere and is
in close touch with the Unionist cen
tral office. Another, the Gardens
Club,is triving because of its spec
ially interesting lectures by promi
nent people in the gardening world,
its regular garden, dinners and well
equipped garden library.
Turkey and Bulgaria
Look to Better Trade
CONSTANTINOPLE, Mar. 26.—
(AP).—Negotiations are to be re
sumed without delay at Angora for
the restoration of friendly and com
mercial relations between Bulgaria
and Turkey. Simeon Radeff, the
Bulgarian plenipotentiary, before his
recent departure for Angora, said:
“The work of restoring diplomatic
relations between Turkey and my
count 17’ already has made much pro
gress. Important details now en
gage my attention.
“As neighboring states, Turkey
and Bulgaria have many economic
interests in common. It is my task
to cooperate in the arrangement of
a mutual agreement for tlie further
ing of these interests, which are vi
tal to both countries.
"Although Bulgaria is only partly
; an industrial state, with manufactur
j ing interests, she is able to supply
Turkey wiht some manufactured arti
| cles, notably textiles. On the other
: hand, Bulgaria needs many natural
j products coming from Turkey. Of
1 natural products Bulgaria can sup
ply Turkey with wheat, cattle and
sheep."
Mine. Marguerite Yoleg is under
secretary to the minsiter of labor,
being the first woman to be given
a cabinet position in France.
Mrs. M. L. Shields of Tipton, Eng
1 land, recently became the mother of
her third set of triplets. All nine
children are girls.

Hoarded Gold Would Aid
French Financial Position
PARIS, Mar. 26— (AP).—Accord
ing to conservative estimates there
are two billion francs in gold coins
hidden away in the traditional “old
stocking” of the French people, and
if France had this hidden gold at
its disposal the country’s financial
situation would be distinctly improv
ed. Every kind of appeal but one
lias been made to induce the hold
ers to let the state have their hoard
ed coins, and during the war much
was recuperated under patriotic in
fluences.
What remains seems to form an
unattainable residue as far as the
state is concerned. Every now and
then, however, cases come before
the courts, W'herein people are con
demned for going round the coun
try buying up 20-franc pieces, which
they induce the hoarders to surren
der in return for from 40 to 50
francs. Their real value is more
like 70 francs, but this traffic is il
legal and dealers in it need high
rates of profit
Jose Thery, a financial writer, is
advising the state to offer enough
paper for gold to bring out this
two billion. Theoreticians, he says,
will be shocked at the idea of the
state admitting its 20-franc bill. The
humblest field laborer knows this,
so what harm can the state’s admis
sion do? he asks.

| blocks, imbedded in concrete, is ;
