In conversation with a represents- Mr. Bynner who is stopping at the tive of the North China Daily News, Great Eastern Hotel said that he Mr. Jeppe stated that befor hoped to visit the homes of the investigating opportunities for intro ancient Chinese poets and attempt to ducing pure bred pedigree Friesland carry some of their atmosphere into cattle into this country.

In speaking of his impression of Chinese poetry Mr. Bynner said, "It has been like another college to me, this discovery of a different way of writing poetry, this revelation that, one be a fine artist one can state things in their own innermost terms; instead of by the continual use of analogy and indirection which is our most elaborate and weaker western way.

Mr. Byner has written a number of Chinese poems which have appear ed in various magazines published in America and in his latest volume o poenis, "A Canticle of Pan."
