Representative L F Livingston, OF
Georgia, spoke for that State. Address
Ing the scouts directly. he said that their
undertaking proved beyond doubt that
the automobile for all purposes has pass

that they have proven that automobiles
can travel on dirt roads. This move

which is helping good roads the most
through the enthusiasm being created
among the people.
Concluding. Representative Livingston
said: If / had my way, the Federal

asked by the growers of the county
to reconsider this decision, and mass
meeting will probably be held Monday
and the subject discussed by all of the
growers. Much feeling is shown at
Winchester. and if the contracts are
delivered to the society there will
probably be notwithstanding.

George Atherton, an American visit
ed London, and, being without letters
Of Introduction and the English people
not being prone to make friends Of
strangers, he had a lonely time Of It.
One spring morning he was sitting on
bench In Hyde park looking at some
budding plants when a well dressed
man sat down on the other end Of the
bench. Anterior had failed 20 often
at scraping AN acquaintance With Eng
llshmen that he determined not to
speak to the man, who sat idly top
ping his boot with his cane. But good
fellowship or the natural animal trait
Of segregation or whatever 1t might be
called was too strong in him, and he at
last remarked.
"Fine morning, SIR"
very; just the morning for the
flowers" replied the stranger genially.
Il have garden at home across the
big pond. / wonder whether my man
Is giving 1t the proper attention"
Our tastes agree. I'm devoted to
my garden"
"AlI Englishmen love gardens. They
all love England. And what Is Eng
land but one big gardenw
THAT'S what makes America look
unfinished TO us here. We're used to
seeing every bit OF ground made beau
tiful."
Have you been IN America, siri"
Never, but / have met several Eng
lishmen who have, and once knew
an American quite well. Introduced
him 10 life entirely new TO him"
Indeed He doubtless found you
more ohIlging than ] have found your
eountrymen. I've now been in Eng
land a month and have found no one
inclined to know me, much less intro
duce me-"
"Haye you been presented at courtTs

'sThen I am sorry to say can do
nothing for you"
"You Englishmen are welded TO

"why should we not be? Our con-

ing 81 the -Manchurian Rail-
road Agreement Meets With
Protest.

Pelen, July Tit was reported yes
terday that the Chinese maritime GUS
toms regulations are now in operation on
the sungari river. The action Of Russia
in opposing and obstrueting navigation
on this river is believed here TO be
based on strategeal consideration, be-
cause she has cited to China, in her
protest, the discussions embodied in the
minutes Of the Russo-Japanese CONNER
cial treaty OF 1907 Japan then con-
tended that the treaty Of Portsmouth
automatically opened The Amur river and
its tributaries in Manehuria to naviga-
tion. On the other hand, Russia claimed
exclusive Russian and Chinese naviga.
tion rights as opposed to territorial
advantages China and Japan claim
that international navigation accompa-
MES international trade The action Of
the Russian foreign Office would appear
here to be in the direction Of separating
these two questions. Russian anxiety at
the prospect Of japanese navigation Of
the river is undisguised.
Several Russian boats plying on the
sungari river have lodged protests
against the Chinese customs regulations.
Reports received here from Hardin set
forth that the Russian authorities, sup
ported BY the legation, are obstructing
the carrying out Of the river regulations
on the ground that they have not been
mutually agreed upon
Replying TO the argument put forward
BY General Horvath, the Russian admin
istrator OF Hardin, to postpone the open
ing Of the sungari on account Of the
difficulty Of Russian boatmen to con-
form to Chinese control, China has given
assurances that the new regulations viii
b enforced gradually thus avoiding any
hardship.
