American Organization in
London Disbands-Car-
ed for 1000 Refugees.

London. Oct. 12.-The relief COM
mittee formed by American residents
in London has wound up business, and
it's chairman. Herbert Clark Hoover
has submitted a report to Ambassador
Page showing in detail the work done.
The initial move was taken by Mr..
Hoover OF August 8 when Consul
General Skinner advised him Of the
acute temporary restitution Of many
tourists on account Of the series of
bank holidays during the first few
days Of August. Hoover gathered
some $4,000 In cash with which a loan
bureau was opened in the consulate.
Applicants were given small loans
without security and without interest,
but to date all Of the loans have been
repaid with the exception Of about
$3.50.
The next step wasa formation OF the
Committee Of American Residents,
withAmbassador Page as president,
Hoover as chairman. Clarence Graf as
treasurer and F.. c. Van Duzer as Sec
rotary. The benevolent fund to
which. the American residents sub
scribed amounted to $16,333 and a
fund to guarantee banking operations
amounted to $41,983.

was ais formed at a mass meeting Of
tourists, and Theodore Hetzler was
named chairman, W., North Duane,
secretary and William C. Breed treas
urer, all from New York. The depar-
ture of members of the tourists or
ganization caused its practical extinc-
ton about the middle of August, but
during it's existence it spent nearly
$4,000 for relief and also SO, 900 to
the residents committee.
In mid-August, the committee was
authorized by DR.. Page to draw on and
help administer the congressional
fund Of $500. 600.
30 far $4,000 has been drawn
from the congressional appropriation,
covering the relief Of 1000 persons.
But the committee has made available
to Americana in all about $400, 900
through supplemental banking and
various means. Over $500 have been
financed home either entirely or in
part by the committee.
There has been some friction be-
tween the committee and a small mi
nority OF refugees who objected either
to drawing on their own resources for
their fares hame or ~to.&ccepting third
class on the steamers.j But the large
majority have been xfatsful for an
opportunity to help themselves.
At times the committee had as many
as 1000. persons in lodgings under
Its control, involving a vast amount
Of work. On one day 900 tourists ar
rived at Victoria station from Flush
ing between 9 a. m. and midnight. OF
these 460 were advanced money on
the platform for immediate food. and
altogether $40 sem to selected lodg-
ings. The unescorted women and
children alone numbered 232. Over
$500 was expended in this days
work.
Some 10000 tourists have registered
and been indexed with the committee
since the beginning. for the informa-
ton Of friends, and a daily bulletin
with useful information has been is
sued with a circulation as high as 49,
900 copies daily.

vlLL|M|AR BAND
RE-oRCANIzED
The Old Standbys and Some
New Blood Make Up New
Organization.

A meeting was held last Friday eve
ming at the Tjosvold Music store by
a number of our local musicians for
the purpose of organizing or rather
reorganizing the Willmar band. There
ought to be no excuse for a town the
size of Willmar to go without a good
I've band, and it is now the determin-
alton to make an earnest effort to ef-
feet an organization which will be a
good advertisement to our city as
we'll as permanent one.
The band will be under the leader
ship of Rev. w. E. Pearson who is 4
musician of marked ability and, we
believe, will make the organization a
success.
The officers elected were w. E.
Pearson, director, Elmer Peterson,
PRESIDENT; Oscar Hogberg, secretary;
Erick Glad, vice president; R. w.
Palmer, treasurer; Roy Peterson, pro-
perty man. The name Of the organi-
cation will remain the Willmar Mill
tary Band.
The first rehearsal was held last
Tuesday evening at the Commercial
Club rooms. The band will endeavor
to put itself in shape to furnish mus
ic for the Old Settlers meeting to
be held at Willmar next Tuesday.
The membership now is about
twenty tho the Instrumentation is not
yet complete, there being several
players yet needed.

A middle aged couple were prepar

daughter in the city. and their last in
structions to their grownup son, who
was heavy sleeper, were to be sure
to wind his alarm clock, so that he
would be in time for his work the next
morning.
Monday noon they got back to the
house and were surprised to find the
blinds closed exactly as they had been
left the Friday previous on their de-
parture. AS they let themselves into
the house they heard their sons voice
coming sleepily from his bedroom:

Wednesday, Rain Stops
Evening Performance.

Last Wednesday was "Circus day"
and as a consequence there was a
large number of visitors from the
country and neighboring towns on
our streets. Especially was there a
big line up on the sidewalk at noon
during the parade.
The circus was that of Yankee
Robinson and gave fairly satisfac-
tory performance in the afternoon.
Their large three-ring tent was about
filled with those who had come out
of their own accord to see the show
and those who had drought the chill.

The best feature on the program
was the trained seals, which was
really a wonderful performance. The
concert" after the show was a frost
During the afternoon performance
the rain started to fall and continued
until after the show so that many
people got wet on leaving the tent
Many, however, remained huddled in
the menagerie lodging the drops that
leaked thru at the seams of the tent
roof, eating crackerjacks and Incl
IDENTIFY feeding peanuts to the ele'
plants.
There was no performance in the
evening. Tho the weather cleared up
by supper time the management no
doubt decided that the sloppy condi.
ton Of the ground would so curtail at
tendance as to make a second exhibi-
ton improbable, and hence folded
their tents and continued on their
way to the town of their next per-

The Tribune acknowledges a gen
erous treatment from the show man
agement. AS there was no show in
the evening our printery force miss

Quotes From VaIedictory Address.
Mr.. Editor:
The following is part Of the Vale
dictory address of the graduating
class of the Willmar High School as
printed:
"There is one Parochial school, the
seminary, which at different times
has given a good course in teleg-
raphy, through the assistance of Mr..
Hill, and is at present offering fine
business course"
If not inspired it must certainly
have the approval of the powers that
be and as such should be given wide
publicity and therefore ask that it
be printed in your columns. The tax
payers should not complain when
they see such results.
