A Hike, Then a Swim To add to the pleasure and enjoyment of your voyage, that's why all President Liners have swimming pools. They are always available and are immensely popular.

The magnificent President Lincts are broad of beat and exceptionally steady. All are oil burners, swift express liners.

The public rooms are luxuriously appolated and inviting

All staterooms are outside, splendidly furnished and equipped with beds-not berths. Each room has hot and cold running water, also fans, wardrobe, thermos bottles and reading lamps. Private bath and showers in connection with many rooms perfect the travel comfort of these giant passenger liners.

The Cuisine is world famous. The deliciously prepared menus will delight you. And how the orchestra adds zest to your dining.

The decks are spacious. The Glass-enclosed Promenade always popular. Deck sports, open air swimming pool, movies, evening dances, everything has been to make your trip a happy one. Unexcelled anywhere-is the courtcous and efficient service accorded you by the trained personnel aboard the Presidenc Liners,

.

The great frequency of sailings and the liberal scopover privileges of the Dollar Steamship and American Mail Lines have made these glant passenger liners out- standingly popular among travelers.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

THE YOUNG GENERAL

CHARACTER SKETCH OF CHANG HSUEH-LIANG.

་་

In Peking an enthusiastle for- eigner was heard to remark while Chang Hsueh-liang the "Young General," son of Generalissimo Chang Tso-lin, was reviewing well-set array of troops, tant young Chang appeared to enjoy the same popularity among his troops and friends as did, for ample, the Prince of Wales.

Perhaps the analogy is a bit ex aggerated, but it gives an idea of the niche occupied by the Mar- shal's son in certain circles in

North China.
