' which because of became the SHANGHAI, interest as the new year got under way, grew inevitably to be the most important commercial city in Ciiina. The first important factor in tills growth was the citys location near the mouth of the Yangtze river, Asias greatest nat- ural trade artery. A second reason for growth. was the fertility of the surrounding region, the Yangtzes delta, which has been called Chinas garden spot." Finally, Shanghai has had time in which to develop, and western guidance; for It was one of the first Chinese cities to be opened to westerners and western trade, one of the five original Treaty Ports established in - 1842. This designation of Shanghai as a treaty port 00 years ago has resulted in the dual character which the city now possesses. For there are two Shanghais; the closely-builteeming native city, and the foreign concessions t, with their wide streets and avenues and their solid, western-typ- e buildings. British merchants werp the first to move in after the opening of the port in 1842. They obtained a concession to manage their municipal affairs in their settlement. The French and American residents joined In the arrangement, but later the French set up a municipality of their own which is maintained separately today. Resihave dents of other nationalities thrown In their lot with the British and Americans, and today about twen- ty nations have arrangements with China in connection with trade and extraterritorial rights in Shanghai. The entire urban' group Chinese, French and International that bears the name Shanghai, lias a population in excess of one and a half million people. By far the larger part is Chinese but the concentration is not greatest In the narrow-streetedirty, smelly native city. So well have the foreigners governed their concessions that Chinese have flocked to those sections. The international city is especially a favorite residence for retired Chinese officials from other parts of the country. It has become a model, too, in the matter of street pavements, drainage, sanitation and police methods, and since the revolution has been copied extensively by Chinese cities in other parts of the country. Not on the Yangtze. Shanghai is near the mouth of the Yangtze river and close to the Grand canal.- Around it for many miles stretches Intensively cultivated gardens. This strategic situation has made the city not only a great but as well one of .the greatest Chinese Industrial cen- ters. In sense, however, the city is It Is not directly on the Yangtze, but on a tributary, the Ilwangpoo (Whanpoo) twelve miles from the great river. The meeting place of the two rivers Is called Woo-sunThe largest ocean steamers cannot ascend to the city, but must anchor in the Yangtze estuary near Woosung and transship passengers and freight to steam tenders. Smaller ships can cross the bar, however, and the war vessels of many nations are constantly on duty off the Bund. As one approaches the city from Woosung, the villages, graveyards and anchored ships of all kinds become more numerous as he draws near the wharves. The hum and roar of factories and cotton mills in peace time belie the real atmosphere of this metropolis of central China. It is not until the heavy, smell of bean oil, incense, opium smoke and of human beings penetrates the nostrils that the true Asiatic flavor of the city is revealed. Although the quaint Kiangsu Junks re rapidly disappearing, the cargo junks, sampans, and speedy slipper boats still vie with the motor launches of huge steel and wooden vessels from every port on the globe. Shanghai, like Venice, is a city built largely upon piles sunk far into the soft black sand and saturated clay upon which the city rests along the banks of the Ilwangpoo river. Huge reinforced concrete rafts are buried in this clay, and the foundations of the buildings are laid on them. The foreign settlements are delightfully modern, with plenty of space, light and air, and are as clean and orderly as occidental cities. The French maintain their own concession under a government separate from that of the other twenty powers, with their g Shanghais Bund. own language and the rues, quals and other signs typical of the homeland. Gay City in Peace Times. The hybrid city of Shanghai a city of both East and West is 'in peace times what many a traveler finds Paris is supposed to be but isnt: perpetually gay and carefree. Europeans and Americans, forced by business or government assignments to live there on the other side of the world in a none too kindly climate, seem with one accord to have determined to make the experience as pleasant as possible. White mens working hours might have been framed by a visionary Socialist for the, year 2000. Many offices open at ten oclock, grant a rest period from twelve to two, and close at four so that harassed merchant, and banker and clerk may hurry away to club or casino or tennis court, golf links or houseboat, for what Robert Louis Stevenson called the real business of life. The Bund, the waterfront thoroughfare of occidental Shanghai, is normally crowded with prosperous, unhurried westerners; and Bubbling Spring road of an afternoon is. thronged with stylishly dressed men and women of leisure and fashionable equipages that would do credit to Fifth avenue, the in Champs Elysee or the the days of Viennas glory. The city is thoroughly cosmopolitan; Perhaps no other city of the wocld surpasses it in this respect except Cairo. Every western country has nationals In Shanghai, and there are besides representatives from all parts of Asia.

Old City. In striking contrast has been the old Shanghai, where most of the Chinese live. Going through the gates of the native city one passed into another century. Old temples, cramped courtyards, where flowering peonies and chrysanthemums could be glimpsed in passing, and an endless succession of narrow streets, hung with rococo banners of Chinese characters, and filthy and reeking with a thousand odors, differentiated It at once from Its smaller modern cousins but a short distance away. A tea house set in the middle of a WHO IS BOSS? stagnant pond is one of the breathing places of the old city, where sellers of jade and cheap jewelry, letter writers, fortune tellers, cobblers, menders, peddlers, jugglers, and others of Shanghais polyglot population gathered over teacups or chattered endlessly in voices. The Chinese theater is another native oddity. The want of scenery, the din of the orchestra, and the piercing Intonations and gaudy costumes of the actors furnished a spectacle, which, while not always pleasing to western tastes, was always colorful and unusual.
