Chinese Officers See Favored Welcome at Jamestown Exposition
Four Chinese naval and military officers visiting the United States for the Jamestown Exposition describe American women as attractive and well dressed. Capt Lee praised Mrs Roosevelt at the White House reception and noted American gowns as distinct from Chinese attire. The delegation, led by Capt Lee and Lieut Lin, arrived in San Francisco April 28 and toured Fort Riley, Leavenworth, Rock Island, and Chicago before reaching Washington. They attended dinners, calls at state departments, and planned a visit to Mount Vernon, with Jamestown events to follow under unclear dates.
