TOUCH OF CHINA

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-Theres $
no need to take a boat from the coast
to see China today. All YOU have to do
Is to buy railroad ticket and board
your Pullman for Washington.
Ask for the Cairo hotel when you
get there, and once inside it's doors,
yols will find yourself in China.
The Cairo" which is the headquart-
ers Of the Chinese delegates here,
ought to have been labelled the "Pek.
in" inside the hall is the Information
bureau and here Chinese gentlemen sit
at desks, long ink brushes stuck in
holders by their side, for most of the
inner correspondence of the delegation
is written in the characters of old
China, save when the two thousand
charactcrcd typewriter is brought into
play.
The walls of the Information bureau
are lined with pigcon-holed cases. each
pigeon-hoe bearing docketed files,
their outsides facing the room, weird
with Chinese hieroglyphics for all the
world like the washing packages in Il
laundry.
WhiZz up to the seventh floor i'm the
elevator and YOU find yourself in u
long corridor which smells sweetly of
Eastern incense.
Here the delegates have their offices
aud here, too, the serious work of the
delegation is done. All the notices on
the walls are printed in Chinese. When
a delegate or an official wants his ste
nographer, he picks up a little red
lacduered stick and bangs ON little
silver gong. In walks the stcnograph-
er--iust like that
