can II. Saturday nights party will at
ford an excellent opportunity to see It.
All the mysterious quarter compre-
handed by a block or two of Mott street
block OF Pell street and that queer half
,jrcle Doyers street. will be open to
rp-,ous eyes whose curiosity need be un-
S,r no restraint on this occasion, for the
sDectators are TO be honored guests OF
the Chinese residents.
The Chinese merchants and residents
who make up their part Of the Chinese
American Citizens Alliance have shown
mastery Of detail worthy Of western
imitation in all the preliminary arrange
men,s for THE SUN Tobacco Fund party.
Their aim is to celebrate the big fact
that ffty-four OF their sons and broth
ers are in active service in the army OF
the United States.
The Chinese welcomed freely the Ital-
Il
they asked to be permitted to Join in the
celebration we're heartily received. Con-
seouently the service dag that will be
raised on Saturday will show 1o4 stars
about equally divided between the Ital-
ian and Chinese.
There will be plenty Of music. both
Oriental and Occidental, the decoration
Of the streets will be extremely gorge
Gus, including a display OF flags of the
chinese Republic recently imported and
never before shown. In a word, the full
interest OF the Chinese Is aroused. and
according to Lee B. Lok, president Of
Ii alliance, what his people attempt to
do for THE Sun fund will be well and
thoroughly done.
Perhaps It Is as well to say at once
there will be no charge Of admission. A
sight OF the beautiful decorations, a
hearing OF the unique programme will
cost nothing. Come, then, on this gen.
eral invitation; the fund expects you.
