BOSS" Of FLYER
ARRIVES AT CAMP
P. L. Stewart of Peoria Joins
Horde of Motor Tourists
Here for Event.

One thousand tourists from all sec
tions Of the country, including Lind
bergh's boss on the air mail route
between Chicago and Peoria, arrived
at the Potomac Park tourist camp
early this morning. p. L. Stewart of
Peoria, operator of the air line on
which Col. Lindbergh was g. pilot
before he flew to fame, motored all
the way here, anxious to be among
the first to glimpse the light-haired
youth who was one of his best pilots
and who took him up as one of his
first passengers after he had com
pleted his training as an aviator.
Cars from the four corners of the
Nation were parked at the camp this
morning. Men and women from
Florida, Maine. California, New York.
Ohio, Texas and virtually every other
State in the Union mingled, united to
join in homage to the transcontinental
and transoceanic flyer. Tourists were
also on hand from Cape Town, South
Africa; Australia, and Canada, en-
phasizing the international aspect of
the esteem which the young flyer has
won.

ton, Va, and Mccall, S. c., were pre-
pairing to aid in the direction of traf-

from various other points were mus
tering to assist them.
Most of the visitors, mindful of the
crowds in the city for the day and
anxious to assist in relieving traffic
congestion, plan to leave their ma
chimes at the camp today.

One Of the many manifestations of
the fever heat to which Washington
has been raised by the arrival of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh was indicated
by officials of the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co, who this
morning announced that new record
in telephone connections was made
yesterday with the completion of 615,-
900 connections in and about the city,
with the expectancy of the total ris-
ing higher today.
Operating officials of the telephone
company in anticipation of an increa Sc
in the number of calls during the
visit of Col. Lindbergh, had arranged
for a reserve force of $50 additional
operators to take care of the rush,
but even this added force proved al
most inadequate to yesterdays ac-
tivity.
The only other occasion which ap-
preached the extraordinary record
made yesterday was the Saturday
during the world series of 1925 be-

According to Charles T. Clagett,

has shown q steady increase until

Of sentiment displayed in Washington
today, it is safe to say, has not been
felt in town so widely since that great
and glorious day when the Nationals
won the world championship in the
base ball realm.
The best answer to cynics regard

in Washington today Is to simply tell
them, Take a stroll down Pennsyl-

them the answer.

BY DIR. SAO.KE SEE.

Minister from China TO the United States.
The press and occasionally men in
this and other countries make state
ments about China which cannot but
create a false impression, for they do
not take into due account the pecu-
lfarities of Chinese social, commercial
and political life. To give but a single
illustration-theC Chinese people to an
extent that is greater than in any
other considerable group of civilized
people, conduct their affairs of life
without the guidance and control of
political authority. They are predomi-
S1antly an agricultural people and
they live for the most part in small
villages.
Socially and economically their
wants are not many and their rela-
lions with one another are simple
and easily regulated. Furthermore,
they are, by their social and ethical
PHILOSOPHERS. habituated to the prac-
tice of adjusting their differences or
controversies by informal or arbitral
means. They thus are not constantly
dependent as are the people of the
western world. upon the agencies of
government, nor obliged, except upon
the rarest Of occasions, to resort to
the technical and mandatory process
es of political laws.
No Disruption Seen.
It, therefore. results that when
there is. a. failure of these govern.
mental agencies and political laws TO
function efficiently, there is not in
China that social and commercial dis
organization and demoralizati ton which
necessarily Is to be expected in the
nations of the West which are more
highly industriaiiZed and whose domi
nant ethical and political PHILOSOPHERS
mace SO much greater reliance upon
the exercise of governmental author.
ttv and the application of physical
force.
This is not to say the people of
china are suffering now from the civil
strife which exists within their Dor
ders or from the lack Of efficient con
trolling power on the part OF THEN
civil authorities; but, taken as q
Ivhole. the social and economic life
~ the Chinese people is proceeding
s.tthout serious disturbance. This Is
conclusively shown by the fact that
during recent years, and up TO the
.,arv present time. China's foreign
.ra1e has increased rather than de
creased. and that the notes OF hel
,areest public bank, the Bank ol
Recommendations, circulate every
