Show REVUE DE LA VILLE Now that we are about to have an election, there is considerable activity in police circles and those alleged to be conducting Chinese lotteries have been gathered in, and numerous rooming house keepers have been admonished to see that ladles who have their apartments in their buildings, build-ings, have some means of support that are not iunder suspicion. If the town is bo clean under our present police administration why should there be any particular activity at this time? The coming of Lieutenant Cornwallis-West was accompanied by no spectacular demonstration and there was nothing to indicate that he was in town beyond the unethical account of his arrival which appealed in one of the papers. Se we have passed through another crisis, and all is well. The Dumba incident is of special interest to newspaper men of the country owing to the fact that James Archibald, an American, was the bearer of the letters sent by the ambassador to the Austrian government. (Continued on next page.) H Mr. Archibald lias posed for a number of years H as the only Simon-pure, eighteen carat war cor- H respondent in this country, but newspaper men m have had his number ever since the Russian-Jap- B, auese Avar when Dick Little and Christian Dane M Haggerty returned from the Orient with the story B that ho was a photographer and social lion and M i not much of a war correspondent. The present H incident puts him in a fine position, and entitles H him to the contempt of not only those in his own 1 profession, but of 'every American. H Charles ID. Van Loan, flctionary, good fellow H briliant writer and, in a word, "regular folks," H spent a day or two in the city early in the week Hl on his way to California where a moving picture H concern is interested in having him compile his H series of moving picture stories which have de- Hj lighted tho readers of the Saturday Evening Post H and other perodicals. He will return here within Hh a month to gather some material for a new series H of articles which he has in view. It is with par- H donable pride that wo mention the fact that his H' first contribution to fiction was a story written H for Goodwin's Weekly seven years ago which wo H will reproduce in an early issue. |
