CHINA MAKING
BIG FIGHT AGAINST
IMMORALITY-VICE
Washington, Dec. 81.—The Chinese
(lepatrment of rites and customs
through the minister of the interior
has begun the circulation throughout
China of the following document ex
plaining the evils of early marriage,
the necessity for the observance of
the funeral rites for deceased par-
ents, and the importance of abolish-
ing foot binding and the vice of gam-
bling:
"In order to settle the mind of the
people it is imperative that rites and
traditions of the nation should be fol-
lowed and ml bad customs abolished.
Since the inauguration of the repub-
lic six years haVe elapsed, during
which disturbances have reigned and
systems and principles have been
trampled underfoot.
"Popular scholars have preached
fallacious doctrines. Morality has
been disregarded by the public and
rites and traditions have not been ob-
served.
"As it is the duty of this ministry
to improve the moral condition of the
people, we hereby point out the fol-
lowing causes of deterioration:
"1. Early marriage. According to
ancient custom a man could only mar-
ry at 30 years of age and a girl at
20, and in Europe and America the
age of marriage has also been fixed
by civil laws.
"The evils of early marriage are
numerous. We have always noticed
young men becoming weaw and en-
feebled and neglecting their studies
simply because they have been mar-
ried too early. Moreover, as a rule
issue of such marriages is unhealthy,
and consequently the nation has be-
come weak and incapable of accom-
plishing anything.
"2. Funeral rites and ceremonies.
ror thousands of years China has ob-
served rites and traditions which
have kept up our national spirit. In
our anxiety to introduce new rites
we must not forget the old ones which
have been handed down to us by our
fathers. According to our nation,
after the death of a parent a son
must be in mourning for three years,
but of late people have tried to re-
duce the period.
The most surprising thing is that
many have adopted foreign customs.
They assert that there is no truth in
the existence of departed spirits,
hence they have dispensed with the
custom of porviding food in the
morning and evenings for the spirit of
their deceased parents. They refuse
to wear coarse clothing and try to
obliterate the memory of their par-
ents as soon as possible.
On the other hand, there are many
who believe in geomancy and have de-
layed the interment of their parents.
"3. The partice of foot binding
should be prohibited. Last year this
ministry issued a circular instruction
to all the police authorities of the
country to enforce the prohibition of
foot binding and as a result of the
efforts of the povinces there is now
less foot binding in large cities and
towns. But in more secluded regions
this pratice is continued as hereto-
fore. Foreigners have laughed at us
and we cannot help acknowledging
that it is a disgrace to the republic.
4. Gambling. Gambling has al-
ways been recognized as a great
curse to the country. Many people
have lost their proper occupations and
have become thieves and robers,
while young men have been led astray
by the greed of gain. It is now our
duty to save society from this evil.
'The above are the four outstand-
ing causes of the present deteriora-
tion of society. It is requested that
on receipt of this instructions be is-
sued to all districts ordering the lo-
cal officials to co-operate with the
gentry for the uplift of society."

AUSTRO-HUNGARY FACING
FINANCIAL RUIN IN WAR
(By Associated Press.)
Zurich, Switzerland, Dec. 31.—The
rapid inflation of the note issue in
Austria-Hungary, which has reached
seventeen thousand million crowns
and is increasing at the rate of one
thousand million per month, is caus-
ing great apprehension in financial
circles in the dual monarchy. Va-
rious remedies are under considera-
tion such as the payment of govern-
ment contractors in war loan stock or
non-negotiable treasury bills. The
public is also urged to subscribe liber-
ally to the seventh war loan and help
the government restrict the note is-
sue.
Die Zeit dclares all these measures
to be useless and says there is no
longer any possibility of stopping the
continual rise in prices and the infla-
tion of the currency.
