Hankow, Nov, 30- British and Am erican commercial interests that arc established in the Special Adninistra. i've District of the city which form .,rly was the German concession and is now under Chinese control are making vigorous protest to the central Chinese government against taxes Chinese au. .horities have sought to impose on property in the district. The protest has the support of both the Hankow British and American Chambers of Commerce.
 Foreign business concerns in the district affected in August addressed :, communication on the subject to A. Segawa, Japanese Consul General and given to the Hankow consular crops for transmission to the consular body. in this it was charged that while the
 inese government had given assur- ances tat the Special Administrative District would be taxed no more heavi. ly than it had been under German con trol, the levies that had been announc- d ran from 28 to 30 times as much as was collected under the German ad. ininistration.

VIENNA, Nov, 30- Squatters have taken possession of the famous Lains. Tiersarten on the outskirts of vienna and, where once the royal stags and wild boars 'fattened on rich meadows and under splendid oaks, huts are be- ing erected and ground broken for crops. 'p
 The procedure of occupation was sympatomatic of present conditions in Austria. sone months ago group of men, mostly war invalids, formally de- n,anded this park from the govern :. ment, giving notice that if their de- t,an4s were not met within a certain per:sd they would take possession. The demand was ignored by the au- tkc;ities, so a few Jays ago the perotl exrired and several hundred men m, ,rrhcd quietly to the entrance an'i demanded admission.

PROTEST LOAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov, 30- Pro- test against loans to China at presen. is voiced in behalf of the Chinese ir the United States by the Chinese Ma. tional Welfare Society in America, it was announced here by Joseph Shiang- Min Lee, executive secretary of the or ganization Dr. Paul s. Reinsch, for mer American minister to China is all advisor of the association, which has branches throughout the United States in practically all Chinese communities.
 The protest follows in part:
 Whereas the internal political sit uation of the Republic of China is in disorder due to the lack, of centra, government capable of commanding the confidence and support of the peo- ple; and China have been used in the past and will be used in the future on- ly for military purposes, which bene- fit neither the people nor the country, now therefore be it
 Resolved, that we, the Chinese peo- pie of America, hereby place ourselves on record that it is our sense of duty of the gravest importance to our coun- try and to the world at large to dis courage any foreign loans, private or official, made to any government in China, provincial or national"
 Refusal of any loan at present will aid in bringing about a settlement of China's international strife, according to officials of the Chinese National Welfare society in America.

WHY DAILY NEWSPAPER
 EXCELS AS ADV. MEDIUM


 NEW YORK, The daily newspaper excels any other publication as a medium of advertising. It reaches practically every class of buyer, be- cause it is read by the rich, the poor and the fairly we'll to do. Though the circulation of a newspaper is ac- credited at certain number, the actual readers of each copy averages three times as many. Other periodi- eals, of monthly or weekly distri- button. are frequently selected by one individual for some particular reason, or subject which it contains but may have little interest for oth- CTS in the same household. The newspaper, however, is looked for b! everybody and an advertisement in it becomes infinitely more widely known than through any other agency that can be employed.
 There are three kinds of news paper ad, cruising, as follows. 'the classified. the local reader and the display. The cheapest is the classi' fled. This form of advertising l: very popular both because of pric and the ease with which it can b! used; a very brief statement of tn need, together with the advertisers address, is all that is necessary. AS the name implies, each class of re- quirement is arranged in body which bears an appropriate heading Therefore, the reader in search of help, or a position, or cook stove, or building lot, can readily find the exact section on the classified page covering that distinct demand. Also under different headings the same advertisement can be pub 1Shed, hence, if a judicious selec- ton is made of the various columns the same advertisement can be brought to the eye of the reade, from several angles, making the ad- practically sure of being noticed.
 The local reader is a form of ad worked in and among news matter; it is very valuable and used much for announcing public events, notices and special sales. It is more expansive than the classi- fled method.
 The display advertisement, which is sold by inches, the others by lines or words, is really the back bone of newspaper commercial pub licity. In handling and preparing this class of copy great care must be exercised to see that the wording and layout of the display are inn and fittingly presented, so that fair profit on the investment, this most expensive kind of adver- tising calls for, is apparant in the increased trade an advertisement of this calibre is intended to stimulate.
 There are four outstanding essen- tals to all successful enterprises that supply the public needs. First, the goods. In that regard, perhaps more than anything on earth, the oft-re- peated quotation of Abraham Lin coln's comes quickly to mind: "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the psople all the time" In word, the merchandise must be equal to the cleins made for it by the dealer.
 Second, is the customer. If the

The BUDGET 8yStena,

The budget system Is not system or
form Of government, but mode Of pro-
cedure in certain matters. Primarily
a budget is bag or sack with its con-
tents, which may be anything from gar
den truck or cooked food to official
documents. In England, where the
word acquired its political or govern
ment term, 1t means the annual finan-
cial statement or the facts and figures
which the chancellor Of the excheQuer
makes in the house Of commons, sitting
as a committee of ways and means.
The term has never been much used in
this country, but it is sometimes ap-
piled to the estimate Of government
receipts and expenditures submitted
In the annual report of the secretary
of the treasury as basis for appropri-
atoms to be made by the congress.
Briefly, the budget system or ma
tional budget may be defined as the
financial statement of the government
for the next fiscal year, showing in
detail the services and expected
amount Of revenue, and an itemized
estimate of expenditures. In the differ
ent departments of government to be
covered by appropriations not to be
overrun.
