CUSTOMS AND PEOPLES
OF FAR EAST DEPICTED
Mrs. Harriet Chalmers Adams. Ex-
plorer, Speaks Before Geo.
graphic Society.

The Fringe of Asia was the title
of lecture delivered by Mrs. Harriet
Chalmers Adams, noted for her wide
explorations in South American jun
giles. before members of the National
Geographic Society at New Masonic
Temple last night. Mrs. Adams took
followed from Japan to Johor, and
illustrated the journey by colored slides
and motion pictures, showing in init
mate detail the lives of these far-away
peoples.
American travellers feel an under
current of distrust in their wander
ings in Japan, she said, though they
are treated with every courtesy. She
explained that the case in China was
otherwise: that the people of new
China receive American visitors with
marked Indications of friendship. Can
ton the lecturer described as u city
of disquieting smells on the native
side of the canal, and as Il paradise
on that side of the canal where the
Europeans have builded their quarter.
Americans in Philippines.
American work in the Philippines,
according to Mrs. Adams. is well be-
gun, and among the pictures shown
was d motion picture of what d few
years ago were wild, head-hunting saw
ages. clad jn gee-strings and spears,
and. now drilling under the command
of young American officer with al
most the same fauItless precision of d
West Point cadet company.
Many types of native women, who
are the great economic forces of the
east, were shown. The Moro women.
Mrs. Adams decided, have the least to
be thankful for, as their religion not
only denies souls to them, but their
husbands can divorce them almost
without effort. A Moro husband who
is a fast talker, Mrs. Adams continued,
can divorce his wife in three seconds.
All he has to do is to say Il divorce
your three times with his fingers
crossed. Brunei. the Venice of the
East, the lecturer concluded, Is disap-
pointing in one way. The natives have
been throwing their refuse into it's
canals for 1000 years, and Mrs. Adams
maintained that she has yet to meet
the westerner who Is enthusiastic
about this place at low tide.

War Not Expected.

Russia had not the slightest appre-
hension of war" said Mr. Scrginsky,
who is on business trip in Washing
ton. Had the Russian government
foreshadowed war with Germany it is
not likely orders for equipping gov
eminent guncotton factory would have
been placed with German companies.
The company building this factory has
contracted with the Russian govern
ment to turn the factory over to the
government in ten years; meantime the
government is represented on the board
of directors and is actively Cooper
ating in the work. Now that Russia
and Germany are at war we must turn
to the United States for the needed me-
chanical equipment, and that is the
purpose of my visit here. This is but
one instance Of the opportunity that
lies open to America to gain trade in
Europe.

HAD NO THOUGHT OF WAR
MONTH BEFORE START
Russian Government Placed Con-
tracts in Germany, Says Ivan
w. Serginsky.

AS Evidence that the Russian gov
eminent Zone month before the out
break of the great European conflict
had no thought of the war, Ivan w.
Serginsky of Petrograd cites the fact
that the company he represents placed
contracts in Germany for equipping a
guncotton factory in the .ussfan CAPT
tai, and that the government had a
proprietary interest in the factory.
Orders for the mechanical equipment
of the factory were placed in Germany
a month before the breaking out of the
war, and half a million dollars had
been paid as earnest money.
