The commission refutes a state ment by the National Economic Min istry that the German people arc in no danger of shortage of food, and declares that Germany "will suffer an unlimited collapse" unless the prblem is attacked with open eyes.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH The Tempter in a New Disguise I FOOl >/HV 350 YOU WORK ? J xA 1 ANI) U. S. Consul Is Charged With Sympathizing With Russian Soviet Force Washington, Dec. 22.—Senator Dodge, chairman of the Foreign De lations Committee, declined to-day to discuss a published report that Norman Hnpgood, minister to Den mark, decided to return to the United States after the State Department learned that the committee was pre pared to make public information which was expected to show activi ties and sympathy for the Russian Soviet government. The only comment from Senator Dodge was that Hapgood's nomina tion died with the last session of Congress and that no recess appoint ment has been made. The commit tee secured information several months ago that provoked such de termined opposition to confirmation of Mr. Hapgood that Secretary Dan sing was informed the appointment would not be approved. Members of the committee, it was said, were prepared, if necessary, to present this information to the Senate and possibly to the public. The information obtained from Paris, New York and other places is said reliably to be similar to re ports published that Hapgood inter ested himself toward fostering com merce between American export in terests and those of Soviet Russia. The committee also secured several articles written by Mr. Hapgood. | To Hunt the Demon Even on the Ocean New York, Dec. 22.—Now conies a warning against bootlegging on the high seas. It has been reported that plans are well under way to smuggle whisky into the United States from Cuba, the Canal Zone and nearby foreign ports after January 10, or before tlien. According to reports, millions of gallons of whisky have been shipped out of the country since the adoption of the Federal amendment to await the first opportunity to smuggle the goods back here, to he sold for high prices. . WORD WITH lOS MEANINGS Chu Yin Tzu-mu. as it is called, is not tho first attempt to give China a rational writing. To understand it one must remember that Chinese is en tirely made up of monosyllables. There aro only 420 monosyllables in the Pekingese official dialect. The number of words in the imperial dic tionary of K'ang Hai, two centuries old, but still the standard, is 44,4 to. Kach monosyllable on the average has 105 meanings. These are distinguished in two ways; first. by the slight differences of pronunciation, and second, by the association of one word with the word next to it. It must he remembered that each [of these 105 variations of the same monosyllable is an entirely distinct word to the Chinese, and each lias an ideography which beuia no suggestion of the other 104. It is easy 1o see. why ftonianizatlon failed. In a little dictionary which the missionaries tried to use were 16.1 characters Romanized as "clii" and ITS as "1" (pronounced like English "e"). Chu Yin Tzu-mu uses thirty-nine symbols, twenty-four Initiuls. twelve finals and three medials or connect ing sounds. These do not even re motely suggest Roman characters, but they represent all the sounds of what is to be the new national lan guage. The new national language was founded on the so-called Man darin. This was already spoken in fifteen out of the eighteen provinces, for the southern coast provinces have a quite different speech. But the pronunciation of Mandarin varied so much that natives of differ- | ent provinces often were unable to on-; derstand eacli other. To overcome this difficulty a standardized pronuncia tion was adopted. The pronunciation was fixed for about 800 words, and all th rest grouped themselves natural ly around these. Then in the fall of 1918 a special congress of representatives of all the provinces, called by the national min istry of education, officially adopted Chu Yin Tzu-mu, as the written lan guage of China. A government decreo to this effect, order No. 75. was pie mulgated November 23. 1918. H. C.; Reynolds, in "Asia" Magazine.

What kind of material has been taken, how it lias been taken and when it was taken, could not be learned definitely to-day 'from the probers. Accomplices Suspected It is > understood, however, that practically all kinds of the many goods handled at the depot have been included among the loot taken from the supplies. These have been sold, it is said by persons at the depot to accomplices on the outside for resale. The operations of the looters are understood to have extended over considerable time. It is the method of operations, however, that are puzzling to the investigators. It was hinted to-day that goods in certain instances were not checked when received. It is also thought that Pennsyl vania railroad employes may have co-operated in the thefts. This could have been worked, it is ex plained, by permitting quantities of goods to remain in the railroad cars and atterward removing the cars to some other point where -the material might safely he unloaded and removed. Color to the theory of participation of railroad employes in the case is lent by the fact that railroad police are taking an active part in the investigation. The investigation is in charge of Colonel Charles J. Simmons, He is being assisted by 11. C. Arnold, Ira E. Gaynor and Major G. V. Peters, of the Military Intelligence Depart ment. United States Deputy Mar shal Harvey T. Smith and railroad police are alii giving all assistance possible. Despite some newspaper reports, the investigations have not involv ed the Middlelown Aviation Depot. A THRIFTY SUITOR For two long years Jock had been courting Maggie.

"There are questions of principle at stake which should only be deult with by a tribunal upon which the representatives of the public out number representatives of the ln terester group."
