Hon. Henry B. Miller, Consul Genera
at Yokohama for the United States, is
passenger aboard the Pacific Mailer
Korea, en- route from Japan to Cali
fornia on leave of absence on account
of ill-health. That Mr.. Miller will go

has many matters of public interest to

elaborate entertainments yet given the
Atlantic feet. They are making Law
ish plans, and expect to spend all kinds
Of money to make the visit a memor-
able one.

ing hold of the financial situation in
an energetic manner, and it hopes to
clear the financial clouds,'' said Mr..
Miller. "They are proceeding in a
manner which will meet the situation.
The business interests have suffered a
financial relapse, but even these are
showing signs of betterment. +"

Japan just on the eve of the arrival
of the Atlantic fleet, but the demands
for change of climate made it inn
perative that he leave by the Korea.

Advertiser containing the official pro-
gram for the fleet entertainment. This
does not include the reception to be
rendered on the Monday following the
Saturday when the fleet arrives, to be
given by the American Ambassador.
