PRESIDENT OF
 MEXICO CALLS
 ON DIPLOMATS

Mexico City, Aug. 523-Instead of fixing a time for tnt recently arrived Guatemalan diplomatic mission to call on him at his presidential offices Provisional President De la Huerta recently broke all precedents by ur- 'expectedly calling upon tht Guate- malans at their own hotel
 At noon President de la Huerta presented himself at the door of the apartments occupied by Marcial Gar cia Salas, minister for the Central American republic. Surprised at this procedure, Senor Garcia Salas began the interview by profoundly thanking the Mexican president for his disregard of diplomatic conven- tions.
 Later in the day, the> Guatemaaans called upon President De la. Huerta at the National Palace, and there the representatives of two newly formed administrations-the Mexican and | the Guatemalan-former exchang- ] ed recognition.

his splendid services Poland com missioned him a Brigadier General Recent despatches say that he has been marked out by his gallantry and leadership.
 This Irish-American-Po1 gener- al for whom a soft life has held no appeal, began his career on the bat tlefield on leaving West Point after he tried mining for while.
 He went to Mexico and got his "baptisrn of fire' and a wound in the Madero affair. Upon recovery, Sweeney packed up for South Ameri- ca where he took a hand in several of the revolutions.
 He got into the world war as a pri- vate in the Foreign Legion. In the first Champaigne Battle in Septem- Der 1915, Sweeny was commissioned a lieutenant on the field for conspic- uous gaIlantry. He was severely wounded and gassed in this battle, and on hospital cot in Paris, he was awarded the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
 Two other important decorations were bestowed on him in rapid suc- cession and he had a great reputa- tion for bravery. Soon after being made captain in the French forces AiV was Seill to the OnlIeO states u D. on advice of Ambassador Sharp, as an instructor in 1917
 Sweeny was commissioned a Ma Jor in the United States army and helped to train the s0th Division al Camp Lee, Va. He went overseas with this division, got badly sshot up" in the Argonne and was promot. ed to Lieutenant Colonelcy for gal. lantry before the enemy, and assign. ed to the General Staff of the A. E.

Vienna, Aug 2a-The tax-on- wealth bill has been adopted by, the Assembly after including in it the amenoments proposed by the Repar- ations Commission. These amend ments which caused much criticism, were designed to prevent the bill contravening terms of the Peace Treaty or conflicting with the En- tente's proposal of May 21, 1920, fo1 a bond issue to cover present 0, future credits to Austria
 Chancellor Renner, in presenting the amendments, said he did so be. cause national misery forced the country to comply with Allied de. mands.

WEALTHY MAN FIGHTING WITH
 POLISH ARMY

New York, Aug. 23-War despatch es making more than casual mention of Brigadier General Charles Sweeny have lent to the Polish struggle more than an impersonal interest to Ameri- can army officers at Governors Is land, who are well acquainted with S5weeney-an American soldier of fortune with both principle and purse.
 Men Of no fortune at all who fight in any old or young army for the sake of excitement and pa1try pay are common enough. But Sweeney, U. s. A, is a notable exception. He is a multi-millionaire's son, his fath- CT having amassed great wealth in the famous Occur D'Alene mines of Washington and Idaho, and the sol dier is more than millionaire in his own right.
 He put in three years at West Point and then sought the life of an active soldier. In Mexico, South and Cen tral America and Europe, he has struck blows in desperate causes.
 Sweeney, a former lieutenant col onel in the United States army, at tached to the general staff, was in Paris during the spring of 1919, re- covering from wounds suffered in the Argonne offensive with the Aneri- can Expeditionary Forces when he learned that Poland was in need of officers for her new armies. He con- suited with the then Premier Pad erewski and offered to recruit volun- teers when he returned to America to be mustered out of the service. In three weeks he had selected 200 for mer Am erican army officers, all of whom had seen service in many bat ties in France. Colonel Sweeny sail ed for Poland in September of last year with the first of his officer con- tingent.
 He was not long in getting into the Pole-Red fight and in recognition of

AMERICANS VIEW
 HARD BATTLE ON BOSPHORUS SHORE

ConstantinopIe. Aug. 23-Many
 Americans have had narrow escapes
 in the fighting which British ana
 Greek troops have kept up for seV-
 eral weeks with the bandits Wh1ch are harassing the eastern shore or the
 Rosphorus. Beikos, a summer place 10 miles north of this city reached
 by hourly ferry service, has been the chief center of the fights between the bands of adherents of Mustapha kem- ei Pasha, Nationalist leader, and the Britfsh-Greek soldiers operating un- der the artillery protection of British warships.
 An American oil company is erect ing two great steel tanks at Be1kos which came within the line of fire between the rival forces. The steel riveters were compelled to flee for their lives and for several days bull ] lets played a tattoo on the tanks 1 which was nearly as constant as the tune of the riviting machines. Many | Americans were in Summer camps and cottages in the vicinity of Beikos the night fighting began but they speedily moved to the western shore o1 the Bosphorus, where it was pos l sible for several nights to watch the | fighting on the Anatolian hills by the light of the naval rockets and search lights used in directing the gunnery. Robert College and ConStantinople 1 College for Women, the two Ameri- can institutions of higher learning or
 the Bosphorus, both commanded ar
 excellent view of the struggle and were safely out of range of the na- | tionalist bullets.

The end of this week terminates the sale of Furniture, Rugs Carpet and Floor Coverings

It is often interesting to know the customers point of view. We who think so well of our own stock of merchandise see it from side. The customer looking at furniture knowing that she wants a chair, table, a bed room or dining room set sees the pieces and seeing the ticket thinks the price extremely high. In going to another shop she may see something which is less in price. Take living room table for example; she tanIe
 another shop which is less in price than tables at Read s. A table is table, and in both serve the purposes of table. But it is the effort of the Read Furniture Department to provide only the works of artistic designers and master craftsmen. And work of this kind must necessarily have its price. The furniture at Reads in every case will be found reasonable when the length of time of it's endurance is considered And this means not only in point of service but in appearance.
