The body was that of Robert E.

on German soil following wounds re
ceived in battle. Seven months at

removed to an A. E. F. cemetery in
France. Upon the request of Lin

American Minister to China. who in
1919 headed the American Commits

to investigate conditions in Syria and
Palestin and who was visiting in this
city in an unofficial capacity
The delegates had an interview
with Mr.. Crane at his hotel and com
planned to him of the new taxation,
showing by figures, how a man let
ting a house for $40 d month would
have to pay taxes for it amounting
to $22. They also described to him
the conditions of the law courts and
complained of restrictions of personal
freedom and of the press.
DR.. Shahbander and his colleagues
were put in prison for the following

THE present deadlock between
America and England in the tennis

worlds title in perpetuity-a claim
unprecedented in any branch of

cannot expect America each year to

Wild Night Life Is
TaboOed In London

many walls about the rapidly dim

London does not believe in the old
maxim EARLY to bed and early to
rise London goes to bed early
and arises late. Such night life as
there is in London is carried on in
exclusive clubs and at private homes.
Americans do not generally know
it, but even England has its Vol
steadian laws. Public houses close at
10 p. m. The wares dispensed by
the bar maids. who are only pretty
and rosy checked in the story books.

coholic exhilaration in London is far
more rare than it is along Broad
way.
The theatres open early and they
pIayhouses open their performances
at 7:45 and at p. m They are
closed long before eleven O'Clock, and
when the theatres are closed then
the Pickering lights along Plcca-
dilly, the Strand, SALISBURY Avenue
and Oxford Street are extinguished.
The underground railroads of Lon
don. which carry a majority Of the
residents to and from their homes,
make their goodnight trip at 1880.
The buses are stabbed shortly after
midnight. Any Londoner who def1es
convention and stays away from his
downy bed after midnight is forced
to rely upon a taxicafb for transport
tation.
Recently some enterprising theatre

taste of real night life and staged

went forth that the length of the
performance should be curtaiIed and
be heightened. The number of per-
formers was reduced to six and the
costumes were restricted to "even1ng
clothes The reformed Midnight
F'ollies," has started operations, but
the thrill has gone, and London
yawns over its midnight cup of tea
and the prospects for the producers
are not bright.
London generally accepts condi-
tions as they are. but there are
testing. London business men look
across the Channel and see throngs
of moneyed and thirsty Americans
into Paris for enjoyment and
envy their French business coll
leagues. There are numerous move
ments on foot to secure suspension
of regulations which prohibit the
sale of tobacco after eight at night
and the sale of liquors after ten

the great majority of Londoners with
