BIG BUILDING TO
 HOUSE VETERANS
Plans for National Encamplnent
 Complete Branch Post Office

Washington, D. C., Sept. 20.-Final i arrangements for the reception and entertainment of the Grand Army yeterons at their 18th annual encamp- ment during the week of September 27th have now been completed. To correct any impression which might be gained by the association of ideas it should be stated that the encamp- ment is not to be a tented affair. The reunion will not be held under can- vas as has been the case with these affairs in many cities Instead, the Washington Citizens committee has provided for the use of the veterans, a building adequately adapted for the purposes of the encampment and hav- ing, with the exception of the capital itself, the largest ground floor space of any structure in the city. This building is the one in which the last census was compiled and stands on First street, adjoining the Capitol Plaza.
 Headquarters Building
 The main floor is divided into two mammoth auditoriums in one of which the big reception on Tuesday night and the regular business session of the Encampment will be held. The other has been set aside for camp fires and the dog watch of the naval veterans. On the floor above, there is a row of twenty or more rooms wherein the various corps and depart nents will have their individual head quarters throughout the reunion Rooms have also been assigned to be Used as headquarters by the military and semi-military organizations allied with the Grand Army, so that all of the proceedings held in connection with the Encampment will be under one roof.
 Branch Post Office.
 A feature of the arrangements never heretofore provided will be a branch post office established in the Encampment building to which will be assigned by the postmaster of Washington, a force of. clerks who will handle all incoming and out going mail for the veterans, and all correspondence intended for the visi- tors should be addressed to the En- Campment headquarters. Rest room, restaurant, hospital and other ap- pointment and equipments necessary for the comfort and convenience of the old soldiers have been installed in the building.
 The interior of the structure has been made to present a most attrac- tive appearance by a force of decora- tors which the Washington commit tee has brought from New York to give an artistic touch to the encamp- ment.
 At this writing, the weather bureau judging the future by the past have given it as their opinion that ideal climatic conditions will pre- vail in Washington during Encamp- ment week, and in view of all the and arrangements which have been made, this is all that is needed to make the forthcoming en- campment, the most memorable one in the history of the Grand Army.

WAR HAITS BUSINESS.
$2O, 100000 Enterprises in Japan
 May Be Postponed.

May Be Postponed.
 Tokio, Aug. 20.-It is considered probable that a number of enter prises projected by the government calling for the expenditure of $20,- OOO,OOO this year will be postponed at least in part, on account of the revenue falling short of the expected amounts The new Minister of Fin ance, T. Taketonni, is quoted in the newspapers as predicting that the European war will cause a decrease in revenue of about $5,OO0,0OO as compared with the estim ates for the present fiscal year.
 In March of 1916 Japan must re- deem 15,000,000 worth of short term railroad bonds pie ced in London early this year. As difficulty would be found in issuing a new loan in Flu rope the government will probably float a domestic loan.
 The general financial conditions caused by the war have forced Jap anese banks to reduce their yearly interest on fixed deposits to Der cent. Before the war the rate was 6 per cent.
 The deficit caused by the war is l. 2 made good in part by supplying
 ions to the allies and by oc- - ng markets hitherto held bv G~- many. The great need, however. is for ships Every shipyard in Japan is at work building vessels, but not enough can be turned out The re- moval of the Pacific Mail steamers is great blow to exporters.
 The exportation of raw silk to Russia is steadily increasing owing to the decrease in the Russian SUD- ply from France, Germany and Italy. Enormous quantities of Japanese tea and camphor are likewise sent to Russia A heavy consignment of sugar IS awaiting shipment to England.

A young woman dressed in deep

Golf Up In The Aair.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21-You
can play a complete golf game Of
eighteen holes. using all the clubs you
like. on the room of a downtown sky
scraper here. There are many in
door courses in New York, but San
Francisco claims the only real up in
the air. course
The Olympic Club is responsible for
the unique course and has construct
ed a fifty foot putting green of real
turf on the sky-scraper roof. One Of
the new driving nets has also been
erected and owing to the series OF
pockets of the net a complete eighteen
hole game may be played and the re-
suit of strokes made with all clubs
determined theoretically. Profession
ais declare practice on a course OF
this kind to be more beneficial for a
beginner than real play over a regu-

California prisoners have not been
employed in this work other than In

the need OF opening the mountain

the prisoners.
