A DISTINCTIVE HOTEL
ST. Regis Not Only the Finest but the
Most Comfortable in New York.
SOME POINTS IN ITS FAVOR

None of New York City's great ho-
tells has been more talked about than
the St Regis. at Fifth Avenue and Fiji
t. fifth Street. Recognized as the finest
hosiery in the world. it's chief claim
to popularity lies IN the fact that It Of
fers the largest measure Of refined per-
sonal comfort at standard prices.
The st. Regis has come TO be recog-
nized as the leading living and dining
establishment IN New York. II is not
an experiment, but a well-establiehed
necessity in the city's hospitality. II
has been tried and tested by thousands.
and not found wanting. It represents
a superior phase OF hotel life and stands
unrivaled for comfort and homeiike-
ness. on this subject the London Times,
In an article published soon after the
St. Regis opened its doors, remarks: IF
great art connoisseur planned TO
furnish house 50 that It would give
the highest pleasure and comfort %
his intimate personal friends. he could
do no more than the 81. Regis does FOR
all its guests"
For some uuacCOuntable reason. uv-
ing at the ST. Regis has been considered
by many as q luxury beyond their
means, and all sorts OF foolish and ex-
aggerated reports have been circulated
regarding the prices prevailing there.
The truth is. that the cost OF living at
the 81. Regis is no greater than at other
first class hotels. and. considering its
exceptional accommodations ana ser
vice. II is even less. This IS shown by
the fact that q beautifully furnished
room OF large size may be had for s.
day. or tho same. with private bath, for
80 a day lor for two people at IS per
day). Fa,1Or, bedroom. and bath from
SI2 upward. The restaurant charges are
no higher than in ether first class hotels.

DIPLOMATIC SHOCK
AWAITS Mr.. WI
japanese Have Followed
Open Door Policy to Letter
and Limit.

When Minister WI gets here from
China TO interest the United States in
heading of Japanese aggression in
Manchuria. he will learn. much to his
disgust, that the United States has
been looking into that III le matter on
its own account, and has about sdecided
that there's nothing that can be done
about IT,
The open door policy" as to China,
it is explained. is simply a policy an
attitude OF mind. It isn't guaranteed
by a treaty. and no scheme for enforc-
ing It mas ever been Formulate and
adopted among the nations.
IN fact the State Department author
titles are Of the opinion that Japan's
aggresslons 81 Manehuria do not vio-
late in any way the letter Of the OPEN
door understanding. Rather. Japan Is
doing the very things that the open
door idea makes possible for any enter
prislng nation TO do that cares to take
advantage OF the opportunity, and IS
sklllful enough 10 get the concessions.
IL American or English or German in
terests wanted 20 80 into Manchuria
ana compete with Japan. they would be
at liberty 10 do so. The difficulty is
that Japan has been so prompt ana de-
termined in grasping the opportunity
that she has grasped all there IS OF II.
Even il the United States were disposed
TO insist on a better chance for Amer
leans IN Manchurta, there would be no
benefits because there is no American
trade there. nobody seems TO care TO
develop any, and there are no American
ships on the Pacific 10 carry sucli COM
