Lonsdale, Who became president of The American Bank- ors Association at the annual con- vention here today, had had a varied and plcturesque career, Left an orphan in 1878 at the age of six, when his parents fell proy to the scourge of yellow fever that swept Memphis, Tennessee, their home, Lonsdale has risen solely by hig own efforts to a command- ing position In the world of fin. ance, Beginning business life at 18 as a clerk in the real estate office of an uncle in Hot Springs, Ar- kansas, he has ascended in the intervening years to constantly higher posts until today finds him Lead of the Mercantile-Commerce Bank and Trust Company of St Louis one of the great banks of |. the nation, Believing that a complete mas- tery of details is always essential in any task, young I~nsdale went out of his way to shoulder re- sponsibilities in his uncle's real witate office, and within a year and a half he was made a member of the firm, As the youth went about his self-appointed tasks each day, he was more and more impressed with the need of a railroad. bé- tween Hot Springs and Little Roek, More mature heads had been inspired by the rame vision but had met defeat in trying to ob- tain a right-of-way, Here was di- rect challenge to this young man of vision, "Why can't it be done?" he asked himself, With dogged determination, the 20-year-old youth set out--somo- fimes On pony, sometimes on foot in whatever spare time he couid command, to interview landown- ors and choose the best locations for a road-bed. Much to the amaze- ment of observers, every foot of the 65-mile roadway was obtained, finances were pledged, and the yallroad built, Obstacles there were in plenty before the (first train was run, but they all were surmounted in time, and the rail- road is still in use today as part of the Missouri Pacific system, Highlight No, 2 of Lonsdale's career followed closely on the heels of his 'railroading success, (bserving that business leaders on vacation at Hot Springs had uo way of keeping in touch with home and eastern markets, he fitted up # brokerage office, building =n direct telegraph service, Thug he came'in almost daily contact with men of finance, : a short time, before he had reached~ the age of 30, he had ho- come A prominent figure in the brokerage world,, with easten bankers and brokers bidding for his services, In 1904 Le conc "i- dated his firm with the firm of T.ogan & Bryan anl became theh New York partner, Within the next 16 years Lonsdale's name was more firmly impressed than ever on Wall street, He handled large deals, and won fame and success as a financier, his income being ra¥ad at over $200,000 a FORT, y One day his financial ability came to the attention of The Na- tional Bank of Commerce In St. Louis, At that timo the bank wan in need of x man of finahcial wis dom and vision, An!

Relates Secret "I have induced the Japanese min ister in England," he wrote, "to Telegraph to his Government, urging them to offer their mediation in the event of serious difficulty arising be tween Ching and England and to de clare that, if China will not aceept that mediatich und act upon it, Japan will join England against her and place a Japanese contingent unde the orders of any Dritish forces em ployed by us against the Celestial Empire, 1 know nut why Japan should not become the Sardinie of the Mongolian East, They are by far the cleverest of the Mongol race."

Herself a member of the Central Executive Committee of the govern ing political party, and widow of China's great idealist leader Sun Yat- sen, All these things are true, and it is true likewise, that the frail and dain- ty Madame Sun ~~ Yat-sen is rapidly becoming one of the sharpest thorns in the flesh of that National Govern- ment so largely made up of members of her own Soong family, Once Left Country After the downfall of the former Wuhan Government two years ago, Madame Sun left the country; when she returned for the transfer of Dr, Sun's body from Peiping to the Pur- ple Mountain mausoleum at Nanking she did so with an explicit statement of independence; and since that time she has made amply clear that she considers the present leaders of the Government and the Kaomintang party traitors to the cause of Chin ese revolutionary progress, No whisper of all this has appear- ed in most of the vernacular or for- eign newspapers of China, while much was made of the fact that Ma- dame Sun did not actually return to China and take part in the elaborate ceremonies of last spring, Yet such things have a way of coming out, and knowledge of Madame Sun's position is becoming more widely known cach dav, Briefly summed up, this position is that the sununer of 1927 saw an im of Dr, Sun, and that this deviation has never been gorrected while in certain ways it has, been aggravated The original departure from Dr, Sun's purposes was the relation to the: welfare of the common people Dr, Sun had been determined that the lot of the peasant should not be so wretched as that which he himself had experienced during his boyhood : toward this he gave 40 years of his life: vet, in the words of a deelara tion made public by Madame Stn in July of 1927, "today the lot of the Chinese peasant 18 even more wret. ched than in those days when Dr Sun was driven by his great sens of human wrongs into a life of revo lution," Opinion on War Most recent of the errors into which present leaders have fallen, mn Madame Sun's view, is what she deems a direct effcrt to provoke war with Soviet Russian, Such views are not commonly ex pressed in China today, particularly when embellished with such uncom nlimentary epithets as figured in Ma- i Khia | LUMBER .
