Peking, Nov. 29.
The "Tsinan Jik Pao," a Japanese organ published in the Chinese language in the capital of Shan tung, recently announced the results of the latest census in Tsingtao. Japanese residents of the port totalled 20,778, comprising 11,995 males and 9,783 females. After giving these complete figures_ the Psinan paper attempted a classifica tion of the residents according to trades, offices and professions. It is too long to give here but it in-eluded everything from military and civil officials down. to hospital nurses and midwives. The interesting feature of this classification is that the figures given for all the professions and trades come to a total of only 4,601, leaving 16,177 Japanese residents unaccounted for. This discrepancy has given certain jocular and somewhat ribald for eigners an opportunity to speculate upon the possible means of livelihood of the missing 16,177.
