Passenger 'traffic, on the Pacific coast for 1917 Is equal to If not a little ahead of the record mark of 1915, the exposl- I tion year, ac ordlng to Charles S. Fee, passenger traffic manager of (the Southern Pacific company, who I has Just returned from a general ; tour. "This condition," says Fee, "Is due jjo the Industrial activity brought ' about by the war, the troops that j ere moved on regular trains, and , the friends and members of the families of thp coldlers and sailor. ' "Indications are that there will bo 'the usual Influx of winter tourists to 1 California, and particularly from ; canada. during the onmlni; winter, j While the people of the Pnlted .States and Canada realize that the first business of their nations is the : war, they aiH realize that to pro- ', perly carry on the war, the business of the countries must be along the usual channels as far as possible ' and they do not look upon their year ly visits to California during the : winter In the nature of a Junket, but I believe that by getting away from I the rigors of their severe winters, and spending them In California, ; they will be better able for the bal ance of the year to fulfill the extra burdens placed upon everybody by the war."

He' la one of the foremost of British statesmen and his political convic tions are sincerely and deeply demo cratic and llbernl. The only handi cap to Viscount lirsy suggested is thnt ha Is distinctly shy and retir ing. There Is a belief here, whether It be right or wrong, that the Brit ish ambassador to the I'nlted States should be what Is called a "mixer." Mr. Chamberlain has suffered the life-long handicap of being the son of an Important and able father. He has the father's manners and mnn ncrlxm. He wenrs a monocle, nnd the members of the labor party would any that he Is too much of an aristocrat to bo (ireat Brltnln's rep resentative In the Knlted Slates.
