FRENCH PRESIDENT. SPENDS VACATION IN AN OLD CASTLE
By Associated Press

Rambcuillet. France, September 1o President Millerand of France has been spending his vacation in the mediaeval castle here built by the kings of France in the fifteenth cen tury. It is surrounded by a wide moat and flanked with five huge towers.
 In days of old when the kings received their guests at official func- tions, 50 officers commanding 1000 guards and servants protected roy atty and their friends. few days ago, President Millerand, after ra- ceiving credentials from the Papal Nuncio Monsigno de la Cerretti, en- tertained him at luncheon. There were 10 servants in the castle on that day. faa 8ieafes
 The. President rises at z o'clock every morning, partakes regular American breakfast, toast, coffee, ham or bacon and eggs, while read ing the morning papers. Millerand does not tolerate anyone to mark in blue pencil such articles as may be thought would be interesting to hiin. "I am an old newspaper editor my self" the President told his secre- tary one day. T can read the pa- pers as well as anyone else"

the House. MT. Balfour likes to lounge in a corner and listen to Lady Astor laying down the law to some poli- ticlans. Even the pompous Earl Cur zon steps around from Whitehall and is willing to talk to anybody to whom she present him, and talk brilliantly too, put on his mettle by her provo cative but good-natured taunts.
 But easy-going and free as it all seems, there is very rigid frame work under it. Frivolity is banned though wit no less than wisdom reigns. Nor will Lady Astor tolerate in any form snobbishness or Side" She never asks bores or stupid peo- pie to her house, she has nothing whatever to offer to climbers of any sort, and if you haven't done any thing, are not doing anything, or don't want to do something very much indeed, you are absolutely out of it at No. >St James square.

Lady Astor Reuiues Political Salon

friendliness of Lady Astor herself, who began by receiving her guests in the usual ceremonious way sta tioned just inside the door of the first drawing room and shaking hands with each person as his or her name was announced by the f1unkey.
 But this soon gave way to a mora informal manner of reception and although the butler still announces the name of each guest very dis tinctly, Lady Astor is more than likely to be found in a remote cor ner absorbed in conversation with somebody she has buttonholed or who has buttonholed her, ohlivious to all others.
 This unconventionality was at first a novelty to London (and society doesn't like novelties) but as peaple gradually became accustomed to the easy ways of the house they found 1t very agreeable to drop in at Lady Astors on Tuesday evenings. Busy people who began to look forward to these opportunities to have q quiet talk with people of interest in pleasant surroundings. the chance to hear people who are doing things talk about them quietly, unofficiaIly, at their ease.

 The meeting of worth while peo- pie began by a little series of after dinner at homes.

CREEKS OUTSH|NE TURKS IN MATTER
 OF FPRESSBUREAU
Greeks Have Many Advan- tages In Receiving Cores pondents, Censorship,
 Cables and Wireless
By Associated Press

Angora, Turkey, September 10.-- Competition between the Greek and Turkish nationalist official press bu- reau is one of the phases of the war in which the Greeks outclass the Turks, due to Greek control of com munications.
 Here's an Athens dispatch that we have just hanged six Frenchmen in Angora," said to the correspondent Hussein Raghib Bey, director of the Turkish bureau, tossing the copy of wireless across the table. There's no truth in the yarn, of course, but by the time we are able to get out denial, the news will be printed everywhere in the world, and nobody will believe our denial, anyway, or take the trouble to print it. The most astounding untruths are spread about us."
 As the nationalists have but one feeble wireless station, which re- ceives news from the outside world, but sends only few hundred miles and in a wave length not known to the American or allied ships in the waters of the Black and Mediter- ranean seas, immediate news from Angora reaches the outside world several days old.
 The Greeks have the advantage of being visited easily by foreign cor respondents and the second advan- tage that they censor press tele- grams They recently took the added precaution to place a censor on cables originating in Constanti- nople, inasmuch as the only cables from there passes Greek territory.
 The nationalists are arranging a more powerful wireless to talk to the Tfflis wireless station which in turn transmits to Moscow. For in- ternal propaganda. bulletins are dis tributed by the daily newspaper Hakimieti Millie (National Sover- eignty) which is printed on presses brought on donkey back from Con- stantinople Its editors are Con- stantinonle iournalists

OUR CHINA TRADE


 From Can We Keep up with tho
 British? by John Benjamin Powell,
 in Asia Magazine.
 In the Orient we have developed the unenviable reputation of being people who have big ideas, talk big" start big things-and never finish them. We are given valuable conces- sions, and we sell them or, like the dog in the manager, hold them, un- developed. We open fine offices with extravagant fitting in which to talk about big projects, and one day the office doors are closed-and that's the end of 1t. We start factories and after a few months we sell out or close down and go back to America. With the exception of the Standard Oil company and the British-Ameri- can Tobacco company and few other companies backed by an amount of capital sufficient to bridge over the difficulties in which little businesses are engulfed, I doubt if we are repre- sented by very many firms that have really taken fast root in China. And the reason is that we strife the only logical form of business expression in China-the building up in the field of firms to do business thereby lack of legislation. such as that embodied In the new China trade act, that makes such expression possible.
 In Shanghai, the principal center for foreign trade in China, you will find. for every American office building, half dozen buildings hous- ing our British, French, German. Jap anese, Dutch. Italian or Scandinay- ian competitors. Americans in the far east have to meet the keenest competition, not only from their fellow ci tizens, but from representa- tives of every commercial nation on the globe And since the war, the European nations. eager to recover lost trade, and the Japanese, deter mined not to give up their foothoid in world commerce, have redoubled their efforts.
 Perhaps we can't be expected to keen up with the British, but this much is sure: If we do not take ad- vantage now of the desire of the Chinese to invest money in foreign controlled enterprises we shall oe crowded out of the future market that is being opened up by such en- terprises. A development project in which British and Chinese capital are sssoo,ated will naturally turn to England for necessary supplies.
