Shanghai is still the pearl of the

That was the comment of the
first American tourist to come tc
Shanghai since hostilities began
months ago.
From some Of the reports we
read at home" he continued,
eve expected to see the whole
city wrecked by bombs, but I
was happy to see the central
business area practically un-
changed.
Most OF US went out to buy
yesterday, and we bought
heavily. for prices were much
lower than when visited here
in 1885. Some things were
dearer, but the articles we
wanted were much less expen-
sive. Small pieces of furniture
were going at ridiculously low
prices"
