Unfortunate Koo

Dr. W. K. Wellington Koo (who was a delegate at the Washington Arms Conference) was appointed acting Foreign Minister.

A story is in circulation in Peking that the position was offered to General Hwang Fu, Doctors Koo, Chen Ting-Wang and Yen, who decided to settle their fate by a game of Mah Jongg. It was arranged that the lowest score should accept the vacant position. They " played all night " and Dr. Koo lost " by one bamboo."
