"RESTORE British nation ality to British women who have married aliens.”
That is the heart cry of a committee of women who intend to press theclared that matter before the Government. The law governing this situn- tlon was passed in 1870.
"Stateless"
One case, cited by Mrs Donze, the Recretary of the Nationality D Married Women's Committee;" con- cerns a woman born of British parents Britain who has never been to German Germany, but who married some time before the war.
Eighteen months ago her husband hurried to Germany-to see his dying mother.
Unfortunately for him he was known to be anti-Nazi, and the Gestapo arrested him on his arrival and threw him into a concentration camp.
That is all his sulfo can find out. She does not know how he ls or whether he is still alive. Meanwhile, she is treated here as an allen. She cannot get work because she has forfeited her British nationally.
"British-born
Mrs Donze said: women, married to Germans interned as Category C aliens, are even unuble to visit their children if the youngsters are in a protected' area."

HANKOW RIOTS

As a result, first grade rice has now reached $160 a pleut and second grade $130, although areas within 50 miles
selling rice for $22. Missionaries have attempted to im port this rice but have been prevent- ed by the Japanese.
Omelats are allegedly participating in the huge profiteering. Thousands of the poorer and even middle classes bave been brought to the verge of starvailon and many people are eating barely one ment a day and that consists only of thin and the worst quality congee-United Press,
