COUNT SEEKS CITIZENSHIP Prague, Feb. 6.—Count Berchtold who was minister for foreign affairs in Austro-Hungary at the outbreak of the great war, now finds himself a man without a country. His citi- zenship is 4 tangle in international law which has become so complicated that the old statesman apparently must wipe out all his claims and be- come naturalized in one of the ccun- tries which sprang from the old Aus- tro Hungarian Empire. After the creation of Czechoslova- kia Count Berchtold assumed that he was a citizen of that country. Lik hundreds of thousands of other men who had been associated with coun- tries which had fought the entente powers, he regarded it desirable to become a Czechoslovakian. Passports from that new land were classed with the passports of the neutral powers in Europe. But Count Berchtold ap- parently forgot that for poiitical reasons he had become naturalized in Hungary about 12 years ago. . Conse- quently the Czechoslovakian govern- ment regards him as a Hungarian, and refuses to admit his citizenship in the new republi Hungary holds that the count has lost his Hungarian citizenship be- cause he has not made use of it for ten years. He can make no claim to being an Austrian, and the dis- tinction he achieved in European politics before the war does not save him from being an untagged nonen- tity, along with hundreds of th sands of other refugees whose ci zenship was swallowed up in the re- making of the map of Europe. BIBLES PRINTED IN MANY TONGUES Manila, Feb.-6.—The earthqueke vnd fire in Japan last September were the cause of bringing to Ma- nila the largest individual type- setting and printing order ever un- dertaken in the Philippine Islands. The job is that of putting into type every word of the Bible in seven Philippine dialects for the Amer- ican Bible Society. Prior to the earthquake the printing for the American Bible Society in the Philippines. was done in Japan, but the plant at Tokio was destroyed. The contract for the typesetting, which requires about 24,000,000 ems, was signed today by L. C./ Moore, manager of the Sugar News Press, and Rep. G. B. Cameron, manager of the American Bible So- ciety in the Philippines. he work will be done on a single linotype, which will be op- erated 16 hours a day by two men working eight hours a day each. They will be busy for the next More than 21,000 Bibles are included in the first order. The seven Philippine dialects are Ilocano, Pangasinan, Pam+ pangan, Tagalog, Bécgl, Panayan and Cebuan. It is said that the largest piece of jade in the world is that in the American Museum of Natural His- tory, in New York. At first glaace it looks almost as. large as Plymouth Rock; actually it is seven feet long and four feet wide.
