Now York, Jan. 20.
The trip from Shanghai was as cheerful as the weather permitted. At Seattle, partisans assert that there are more automobiles per capita than in any other city in the U.S. Every other city, town, and village makes a similar claim. Railway travel is expensive, passengers fewer than usual, Chi-cage is big, wants to be bigger, Philadelphia seems satisfied to remain on the map, New York is conscious of her financial importance, expects compliments, prefers actual coin.
In Washington, you hear much talk but you must sift the paper to get the real news about the Conference. In New Orleans the talk is cotton, past, present and future. If you seek rest and quiet, you are told to visit Atlantic City, only ten million others go there for the same purpose.
