Lose by San Francisco Disaster as

Probably the largest business loser
in this city as result Of the San

large trade with the florists of the
western coast. Rose and carnation
plants were brought here at wholesale
from the local company, and shipped
west to be grown for the retail bust

San Francisco, took a large per cent

which are owed the local concern will
be discontinued, so that the western

TO VOTE ANOTHER MILLION
Congress at Session Today May Dou-

Washington D. c., April 20.-Con-

This exceeds the present appropri-

Keen Traders, Who, in Time of War,

One who was with the Japanese
army In Manchuria for six months
says in the Boston Herald: "Old for.
eign campaigners remarked in the
field that no army probably ever had
son many canteens In It's wake. When
the army was not marching there was
always a canteen or two not far to the
rear of every division. When 1t set.

canteens were quickly established in
Manchu houses. These carried cigar.

Imitation brandy, Imitation whisky,

and sometimes Manila cigars.
Japanese are keen traders. Not

one day, In the seven-day battle of the
Shake, there was Japanese peddler
selling cigarettes. Chinese sweet
cakes, rice and beer to the reserves.
During the same battle the canteens
were never more than three miles back
OF the front line of the trenches.
"As the Japanese soldiers pay is
only $1.36 a month. and the army saw
ings banks had, considering that. phe.
nomenal deposits, there was not much
spending money in the army. A bottle
OF beer cost ten cents and a packet Of
cigarettes about three cents.
Whenever there was a firing battle
the commander In chief would order
sake distributed as a ration. On the
mikado's birthday a year ago one ex-
ira double packet of cigarettes was
distributed TO each man in the field.
This cost the emperor more than
$4,000. Otherwise. when the dis.
tribution was possible, ten cigarettes
a day went with the regular ration.
"One day In an American periodical
received at camp there was solemn
poem celebrating the abstinence of the
Japanese from drink.
This caused concern among the
Japanese officers. who disliked the
emphasis laid upon the difference be.
tween their army and a European
army, and the commissary general
told the foreign observers:

We must admit that the accessories

greater and greater strain on the
faculties OF the individual. His eyes
