WANG APPARENTLY THRIVES ON STRAIN Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Faces Increasing Responsibilities. By the Assoclated Press. SHANGHAI, December 22—C. T. ‘Wang, China’s minister for foreign af- fairs, faced with seemingly ever-increas- ing responsibilities and more difficult ::akfi seems to thrive on the strain of all. As China's government, now called National and not Nationalist, because it is considered to represent all China and not a faction, slowly increases its stability, C. T. Wang's responsibilities become greater in direct proportion. China’s International relations loom large in the eyes of the Nanking re- gime and it is to C. T. Wang, often ocalled “China’s fighting diplomat,” that 8 looks for their successful direction. “China is at this moment without doubt united on the question of our ternational relations, although critics may question her unity in other re- spects,” Dr. Wang said, deSctibing ‘tHe present state of affairs in this rapidly changing country. “Revision - of - our: freaties with foreign nations, including every consideration mentioneq in, this pacts, is a subject receiving the major attention of my government, and- it is my responsibility to further 'this pro- Dr. Wang, although- only -46 -years old, is experienced in the diplomacy of his country. .

He was named to China’s first parliament, later became minister for foreign affairs in the Peking gov- emment and acting premice, served on the Chinese delegation to the Paris g:ee conference, negotiated for China agreement whereby Japan evacu- ated Shantung Provirice after the Paris conference, was China’s chief delegate ! at' the international " tariff conference in Peking' in 1925 and 1926, conducted negotiations with ‘Soviet' Russia and | signed a preliminary treaty, later served a8 minister of justice,'ahd last Summer became minister for foreign affairs of the Nationalist regime. -C.

In regard to China's foreign relations he knows his subject and it is these he is seeking to shift about to a status more acceptable to Dr. Wang believes his government is here to stay. His recent successes in negotiations with several foreign gov- emments have given him great en- for the tasks yet to be ac- complished.

Although busy day and night, seven s| Way up on foot! * The Cosmopolite Architects Studying Problems of Paris of Future. BY ROSE PATTERSON, Staf Correspondent of The Star and the North "American Newspaper Alliance. PARIS, Dgcember 22.—Arbhitects are putting their heads together about the Paris of the future. They are con- strained to do so by the problems of housing accommodation and street traf- fic, and possibly by the bargain sales! The bargains take up a lot of room, overflowing as they do, in the boulevard Haussmann for example, from the shops onto the “etalages” or stalls upon the pavement, where they are piled up in tempting mountains of all the colors of the rainbow. ‘The bargain-hunters flock ir from all over Paris and the suburbs. It is just as well that the sellers at the outside stalls are mostly men, for the word “solde” (remnant or bargain) is per- haps more glamorously magic here than anywhere else in the world, and the feminine rush upon it is correspondingly superlative. ‘To escape this struggling mass ef women, particularly just after the luncheon hour, he who is not out for bargains will do well to travel by an- other - road. But to be more serious about the Paris of the future—the architects are dreaming of skyscrapers and spaclous avenues, of houses more than 300 feet hlillL and the sweeping away into oblivion of the old Paris. One has even suggested@that the city be razed, leaving only a chosen number of his- toric monuments. Others would extend, and not_pull down; they visualize a center of Paris where there shall be no tram cars or busses or automobiles or traffic of any kind. It would be for foot passengers only, and escalators are recommended to help them make haste about it. ‘Then there is proposed & modern quarter, linking Versailles, Ville d'Av- ray and St. Germain, with three-story streets, the bottom for heavy vehicles, the second for busses and automobiles and the third, with shops, for pedes- trigns only. On the top story would be the houses, and on the other offices and business premises. So the pedestrian is perhaps coming into his own, with either a center or a “top-deck” where he simply cannot be run over. * k k% Berlin—The U. S. in Germany. Bvery day the Germans want to know more about America. The most notable feature of the Berlin book market, is the demand for any kind of work deal- ing with present-day life in the United States. Biographies of Ford and Mor- gan are on sale everywhere, alsp works on American industry and industrial rationalization. On the whole, the Berlin of today is altogether much more Americanized than London. ¥ Regarding the results of the English cult, one is certainly the improvement in men's clothes. Many Germans are now getting their clothes from Saville row, and with the introduction of golf and rugby, the German tailors are try- ing hard to induce their customers to dress as well as Englishmen. ‘This has, of course, resulted in some sartorial extravagances; putting on a fashion spurt generally does. But the Pederation of German Tailors has de- cided to nip this in the bud, and to that end has established a central of- fice for men's fashions, whose pu is “to define a uniform style and to stabilize tuhia;\s ln :nen's- tailoring.” * Geneva—Changes at St. Moritz.

In St. for high | Moritz the funicular is being extended up to the Corviglia hut, so it will take . < “Sane talk and mature con- get’ eight minutes and no effort to there.

Vienna® has been making much of Schubert. Centenary fever and fervor have been running high.

Louis H. Warner, Chairman, Conferring Here, Will Continue Research. Endeavoring to unravel the tangled nd problems in the Pueblo Indian country of New Mexico, and considering land titles that were based on occu- pancy existing before the Pilgrims sailed in the Mayflower for New England, is the interesting task of Louis H. Warner, chairman of the Pueblo Lands Board, and a personal friend of President Cool- idge. Mr. Warner is now in Washing- ton conferring with Governmnet officials and has held conferences with the De- partment of Justice, the House appro- priations subcommittece and Secretary West. He plans to return to the South- west in a few days and resume first- hand work on the job that is expected to take two years more to finish. ‘Working on the theory that Congress intended that complete settlement of the land dispute should be arrived at and both Indians and settlers dealt with equitably, the board has completed work on a number of pueblos and filed re- ports in the courts in keeping with its findings. The board was created by act of June 7, 1924, and in addition to Mr. Warner comprises Herbert J. Ha- german, former territorial Governor of New Mexico, representing the Secre- tary of, the Interior, and Charles H. Jennings, representing the Department of Justice. Mr. Warner, who is from Northampton, Mass., the home town n§ President Coolidge, is the presidential appointee on the board. Part of Work Finished. ‘The board’s work has been finished in these historic pueblos: _Taos, Picuris, Nambe, Tesuque, Santo Domingo, San Felipe, Santa Ana, Zia, Sandia and Isleta. Remaining to be finished are: San Juan, Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Co- chiti, Pojoaque, Pecos, Acoma and La- world” is the evaluation placed by Mr. Warner on ‘the historic area of the United States which forms the board's laboratory. He recalled that there are evidences of velcanic eruptions, of the ice age, of prehistoric animals l&d 111)1 Indians whose beginnings are lost in'the there ,to his memory, that most self- effacing melody maker? * kK % Milan—The Great Cecchetti. How fitting it was that noted figure in ‘the world ‘of dancing, Enrico Cec- chetti, should have died in the theater, for in it he had been born and had his_ whole being. His mother and father were both dancers and it was -behind the scenes during a ballet at the Tordonino ‘Theater in Rome, nearly 70 years ago, that he was born, and there this child of art was brought to his mother, the g:lml ballerina, every day from his byhood. In Geneva, at 5 he made his first bow in ballet, and soon afterward he went to America with his parents. His first great success was in Milan, at the Scala, in Bori's “La Dea Del Valalla,” in which he made 32 pirouettes in suc- cession. From then on his career was one of increasing fame, and his merit as teacher is proved by his pupils, Pav- lowa, Karasvina, Lopokova, Nijinska, ;A;‘chemtlcheu. Massine, Serge Lifar and e rest. ; Though dearly’ loved by his puplils, he conducted their lessons wnl;“ the rigor o(dl dfllll kutretelnt, with snapping eyes and a quick temper. “No, no! Not like that!” he scolded, during a lesson at the Scala not long ago. Then h&:n;lleg. & Moscow-~What! No Beards? ‘The tremd of fashion, so far as any- thing of the kind may be said to e: in the Soviet Union, is all against beards. For a beard suggests age and repose, and the new Russia is out to emphasize youth and untiring energy. In , Siberia, they emulated Peter the Great, and imposed a fine on beards. The bright idea occurred to the Children’s Welfare Commission, which, short of funds, hoped to make more provision for street waifs at the expense of the unshaven citizen. The effect was striking. The barbers of Omsk worked overtime, and govern- ment offices were run by women while the men poured out to get shaved. (Copyright, 1928. by North American News- Daper Alliance.)

The first Spaniards to invade the re- glon now known as New Mexico in 1538-39 found established a series of villages, some of them of considerable size, up through the Rio Grande Valley region, I«r. Warner explained today. Land grants were made to these several Indian villages, under the program mapped out by the ruling powers in Spain and, as a rule, a grant was measured from a center where a Ro- man Catholic mission had been estab- lished and comprised about 17,000 acres. Situation Complicated. Later this region came under the sway of the Mgxican government and years after, Congress confirmed grents made by the Spaniards and also placed its stamp of approval on some titles covering the very same area that had been granted to an individual Spaniard, although previously granted to Indians. ‘The situation was further complicated I white settlers moving in and “squat- ting” on land that had been granted to the Indians, so that today many of these settlers find themselves lacking land titles upon which a bank would be likely to loan money, Mr Warner na. “The most interesting part of the | saiq. The straightening out of this land- title scramble is the job of the Pueblo Lands’ Board. Mr. Warner called at- zepthn to the interesting point that he first United States Government of- ficial sent into the Pueblo country some 75 years ago to consider Indian prob- lems urged upon Washington the de- sirability of creating a board similar to that which 'is now functioning. The recommendation went unheeded until 1924, when Congress set up the present organization to deal with the whole problem. —— In the past year 1,200,000 cotton handkerchtefs were imj into Tientsin, China. o OPENING OF STREET BEATEN BY “JOKER" Eight-Year Campaign for Walter Reed Traffic Artery Apparently Defeated. ‘The campaign ' continued by local groups for eight years, seeking the opening of Fourteenth street through the grounds of Walter Reed Hospital as & means of relieving traffic conges- tion at the narthern portal of the Dis- trict, apparently has met an unsur- mountable obstacle. A $300,000 nurses’ home, latest de- velopment of the Walter Reed group of new structures, now is being erected on a site directly in the line of Fourteenth street. Furthermore, it was pointed out jast night by an official of the War Department, Congress at the last ses- sion, in appropriating funds for the home, enacted legislation specifying the location of the building, which proved to be on the line of Fourteenth street. Excavations for the nurses’ home have been dug, and foundations for the building now are well under way. ‘When informed of this situation yes- terday, George C. Shinn, chairman of the streets and avenues committee of the Board of Trade, which has vigor- ously urged the opening of Fourteenth street through the Federal reservation, said, “Well, I guess that ends the mat- ter. We can’ hardly expect Congress to reverse its earlier action.” He voiced objection, however, to spec- ification of the site of the building on the line of Fourteenth street, while the bill for opening the thoroughfare through the reservation was before Con- gress, and described the move as a “joker” which had been included in the appropriation legislation and one which had not come to the attention of the public generally. Mr. Shinn sald that unless Congress should see fit to take immediate steps to halt construction of the building pending action on the bill to open up the street, now before the Senate com- mittee on military and naval affairs, the most practicable alternative seemed to be to study a plan for tunneling the street under the reservation., » , This plan, suggested before, was termed too costly by some officials, one estimate being about $1,000,000.

STRESEMANN, ILL, BARS SOCIAL EVENTS Nurse and Physician Safeguard Condition of Foreign Minister. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, December 22.—Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann has com- pletely changed his daily habits since his breakdown in health. While for- merly he was the most sociable of cabinet members, known for the late hours he kept and for his readiness to accept invitations to dinners, theater parties and receptions, he now retires early every night. A note has been sent to the diplo- matic corps by Eugenio Pacelli, stating that Dr. Stresemann could accept no evening invitations. A special nurse sees to it that he keeps regular hours.
