THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY 25, 13Z0, 7 A HANDWRITING ON WALL IS SEEN BY LLOYD GEORGE Expects Same III Fortune Soon That Has Overwhelmed Others Who Drafted Ver sailles Covenant. Artist Refuses $200,000 To Do Paintings In Greece Strange Dog May Have Been Aboard Lost Ship New Bedford, Mass., Jan. 24.TDr. Parker 'P.. Slocomb has been 're quested by a relative, customs of ficer at Halifax, N. S to ascertain whether there was a dog aboard the ill-fated schooner T. W. Allen, which sailed from this port and is believed t have been lost in a storm at sea. A strange dog has been seen about the shore near Harb'orville, N. S., where wreckage, believed to have been a part of the schooner, was washed ashore, several days ago. The animal appears to be looking for something and will permit no one to come near him. No one for miles around that part of the coast ever has seen the dog before. Dr. Slocomb was in Nova Scotia a few weeks ago, and it was he, by a peculiar coincidence, who discovered the wreckage of what is supposed, to have- been a New Bedford vessel. The Allen sailed from New Bed ford November 19, bound for St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, with a crew of 20 and besides six passen gers aboard. Big Demand for Movies of ' Carpentier-Beckett Bout London, Jan. 24. From all quar ters of the globe except America comes -wholesale and clamorous de- wand for the films of the Carpentier Beckett fight, in spite of the fact that it lasted only 74 seconds. , l'addcd out with training camp scenes, the film has been rebuilt as a drama of which the 74 seconds is merely the climax. America doesn't , buy, the producers report, because fight films re not permitted there. -v- Paris, Jan. 24. Ill-fortune has at tended statesmen intimately asso ciated with the framing of the treaty of Versailles in .the opinion of Premier David Lloyd George of Great Britain, according to a news paper article published here. Mr. Lloyd George was so con vinced Georges Clemeneeau would be the nekt president of the French re- , public that he considered the race over. Therefore when he heard of the election of Paul, Deschanel as president he could not refrain from expressing his astonishment. , "Who could have expected such a reversal of form?" he ejaculated , when the result was announced. In conversation with a member of ihe Chamber of Deputies, the Brit ish premier is said to have expressed an opinion that the "peace treaty was hard luck for anyone having a : hard in it" "Yes" the deputy is quoted as re plying, "Premier Orlando is out of office; Premier Clemeneeau is a?ain , in private life and President Wilson has met with reversal in Washing ton. Only you have been spared." "Yes, and in less than six months , it will be my turn," is the reply at tributed to the British leader. POLICE LOOK FOR MISSING FATHER OF QUADRUPLETS 20 Year Old Mother Stranded With New Bom. Children. , By Universal Service. Oakland, Cal, Jan. 24. Deserted by the father of her four little .quadruplet daughters born at the i Beulah rest home of the Salvation ' Army in East Oakland last night, is the plight of a 20-year old girl mother. Police throughout the state are making every effort to locate the ; 22-year-old father of the babes, who ' is said to have formerly been a civiliai employe of the Mare Istand navy yard. He disappeared from ' the navy yard twa months ago. The name ot the father and .; mother is known only to the police 'and the officials in charge of the -home. The young mother's first ' name is Anna and she declared to day that she will not marry her be trayer if he is found or seeks to make amends at this late date. " " Won't Marry Father. ?; "The babes are mine alone," she declared. "I don't want any man for a husband who will desert his un born babes." N Anna was 20 one month ago. She says she met the father of her ba bies through a friend of her's who was keeping company with N his brother. She trusted the friend, she says, and thought the new ac quaintance was "a nice young man." The three surviving quadruplets the fourth died at birth were flourishing, apparently, today. They are tiny girls and they have been ' named Dorothy, D( ris and Dora. " ' Mother Is Spanish. DorOthy was born first, weighs four and a half, pounds and is . marked with a pink ribbon, Doris wears a blue ribbsn and Dora a ;;;white ribbon. The girl mother is the eldest of . ',hine children. She is of Spanish ex- traction and very dark. Several months ago she came to the Beulah , rest home and told of her plight. ' She said she had been deserted by tht man who promised, to marry , her. "The matron at the home took her in. She was made comfortable and kept in good spirits and she toiled daily with needle and silks , , and embroideries. She hoped for fca daughter and selected "the name v of Dorojhy. Last night the stork .

What '.' is claimed to be the first electrical i ly-driven motorcycle was listed here " recently. There was an entire ab f sence of noise and vibration. The motive power is contained in a battery of cells which are en ' closed in case about 18 inches ; square. This acts as a seat for the passenger, who sits with his ; head on a level with that of the driver.' I The starting and stopping devices are of the simplest character, and the battery can be recharged from an ordinary electric light plug. J The horsepower is two and a half, and the machine proved to be a good hill climber on a greasy i road. Under normal conditions it -will run at a speed of about 12 4 miles an hour for 24 hours before t recharging is necessary. The invention is the outcome of a bet between an electrical engineer and a motorcar manufacturer, and as it is a success,' it has been pat- ented.. It cannot, however, be t made as cheaply as the ordinary cycle and sidecar .t, present, and the cost of electric energy is said I to Se greater than that of petrol.

(Special Telegram.) Here is a man who works for the love of art, and who turned down an offer of $200,000 rather than leave unfinished the frescoes he had vowed to make in the Greek church of the Holy Trini ty before returning to Greece. He is Theodore Tsavalas, who came here from Greece 11 years ago to do sacred paintings on which he is now engaged at no salary. t He receives a bare subsistence. Yet, when a letter came from Greece offering him a sum unheard of to him if he would return to adorn St. Johns church in Mara thon, he briefly replied: "Tell them I shall be glad to come when I have finished here tour years from now," (Editor's Note: This is another telephotograph, or telegraph pic ture, exclusive rights to the publica tion of which in Omaha are held by The Bee.) High Schools and Medical Colleges' for Chinese Girls Great Educational Plans of the Baptists Incorpor ated In Their New World Movement School In ' Mothercraf i ' Opened . In Huchow Church Now Has 265 Schools In Celestial Empire. , By HORTENSE M'DONALD. New York, Jan. 24. Furthering a general plan of education with par ticular emphasis on academic train ing for women, the Northern Bap tist convention has planned to es tablish in China at least five new high schools for girls and provide them with adequate buildings and with equipment necessary to meet the demands of modern education. Only one woman in every 350 in China can read. In order to overcome the illiteracy the govern ment has recently approved of a simplified phonetic alphabet of 39 characters. Bu the study of this alphabet an illiterate person can now learn to read and write in six weeks. Chinese Girl Schools. Missions are laying great stress on the importance of educating women in the Orient. "An intelli gent womanhood is absolutely nec essary to the permanent regenera tion and Christianization of China," the field survey of the new world movement , of Northern Baptists states. . According to the program mapped out, the denomination will not only establish new high schools for girls, but will increase the number of primary schools until there is at lease one in every village where there is a church or an established preach ing station. Ultimately it is proposed to build up a system of schools in each of the three- mission fields, so co-ordinated and graded that boys and girls from Christian homes, beginning at the primary grades, and on through the university course, may secure a complete education and training, conducted under Christian auspices. Plans have been approved for sending out trained instructors whose experience in American col leges has fitted them for the gigan tic task of standardizing and cor relating the missions' educational system in China. Teachers qualified to serve as supervisors are particu larly needed, it is said. Woman's Medical School. The Northern Baptist are co operating with other denominations in the development of institutions of higher education, such as col leges, universities and medical schools. "In this way only can we Women Like Arctics, But Not for Street Wear Columbus, O., Jan. 24. Arctics have become popular among Co lumbus women. Not for street wear, however, v Foirr-buckled arctics are being sold by local dealers to women who wear them to keep their feet warm while driving autos.

A concrete example of this co operation of the churches in behalf of the uneducated masses in China is cited in the plan of the various women's boards to found a union medical college , for women at Shanghai. At Huchow a school in mothercraft has been opened, the first of its kind in. China. There are Bible training schools for women at NingpO and Shaohsing, and a union school of higher grade at Nanking. ' The Baotist schools in China number 265 with an enrollment of i 8,455 pupils. The government is gradually raising its standards of education as its system develops and the mission schools are assum ing increasing responsibilities.
