DRET HARTE many years ago epito-
- mized American misapprehension
of the Chinese character in his famous
rhyme, "The Heather Chinee." Safe
to say, the average wary American
business man confronted with the pos
sibility of trade relations with mem
bers OF that race chants TO himself,
"For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain the heather Chinee Is
peculiar" He is quite likely, there
fore, to prepare to meet guile with
guile and score failure, in his enter
prise before he discovers the truth,
that the keynote of Chinese business
methods is frank honesty.
The American trader has long suf-
fered also from another equally grave
error regarding the nature Of the Chi
nese field. He has been accustomed
10 think of China aS an immense popu-
lation so wanting in all materials as
to be ready to purchase in unlimited
quantities whatever is offered for sale.
Sir Robert Hart, Inspector General of
Chinese Imperial Customs and Posts,
shattered this delusion some years ago
when he summarized his long expert
ence in China with this statement:

course. A fertile soil producing every

for France are much the same as those
in the history Of the 142nd infantry.
They were mustered into the federal
service at Fort sill on August ., lsli'

many long and tedious weeks OF wait
ing which members of the regiment
will always look back on as in many
ways more irritating than the day oil
fighting in France.
Finally early in July, 1918, the order
came to proceed to a point Of en-
barkation and on July II, they left
New York harbor for France. Most
Of the unit was shipped on the An

the amusement of the men, according
to the reports. They landed at Bres'
on July 80. and immediately went int1
camp near that city. This camp was
later dubbed Camp Mud by the mem
bers of the regiment because it is salo
to have rained there $50 days during
the year 1918.
