THE CHINA MAIL, AUGUST 16, 1941.-

Piebelan pleasures are the lot of these merry-makers from "The Devil and Miss Jones," and the fact that one of them is a millionaire in disguise makes no difference. Charles Coburn and Spring Byington, both featured, and Jean Arthur, the star, are the players shown in this scene from the RKO Radio picture of modern metropolitan life, At the King's.

GERMANS SEIZE A DREDGER

The Whangpoo Conservancy Board is reported by the..... “Sin Wan Pao” to have lodged a pro- test with the German Consulate- General in Shanghai, against the alleged requisitioning by the Ger- man government of a dredger in Danzig. The protest asks the Germans to return the dredger to the Chinese immediately.

It is recalled that the board placed orders for two dredgers with the German firm. One of the machines named the "Recon- struction" was delivered by the German frm six years ago and has since been in operation.

The other dredger, christened the "Renaissance," has never been delivered to the buyers on account of the war, it is said. It has been stranded in Danzig and despite all efforts to sail it to Shanghai it has been remaining in a dockyard in the former free city. It is alleged that the Ger- man government requisitioned the dredger on May 26.

ONE DAY IN BERLIN, I took a walk through a Jewish section near the Kurfuersten Damun and Kaiser Allee. I wanted to see for myself what it was like to be a Jew in war time Berlin. I did, writes Carl B. Wall, Correspondent of the New York "PM" recently in Germany. It was about 4.30 of a cold gray March afternoon. The raw north wind which sweeps in from the Baltic all winter long had a damp feel as though there were snow in the air. I had on a heavy sheepskin coat, but the dampness been in Warsaw. seemed to get through even that and I had to walk quite fast to keep warm.

I walked for about 15 minutes along Kaiser Allee before I came to a store where the Jews were waiting in line on the sidewalk outside. I knew they were Jews because there is a law in Berlin that no Jew can buy food in a store until after 5 in the afternoon. The Nazis think this is very funny be- cause they figure that by 5 most of the food is gone or pretty well picked over.
