crowd of idlers in the 1000 block on

Excitement in Japan Caused by OPP

A great TODD has been made in

Count Nogi's family by the appoint

to the grim soldier of Port Arthur and

rectly in opposition to the last will of
Count Nogi himself. Heated discus
sions were held at large public meet
ings opposing the creation of the new
Count Nogi, says East and West News.
The subject is an extremely delicate
one and cuts deep into Japanese spir-
itgal susceptibilities. The imperial
viay is that so great a name should
not disappear from living Japan-an
idea that is basic in the imperial fam
ily itself, and is the essence of the
survival Of title among the ancient
lords or daimos, to whom hundreds Of
titles have been preserved by adopt
ing sons in default of direct issue. The
surviving relatives Of General Nogi

RESEARCH STOPPED BY WAR
Observations of Wireless TeIegraphy

Worldwide cooperative observa-

planned by a committee of the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science, which reported at the Aus
tralian meeting a year ago this sum-
mer that the project had been cordial
ly embraced throughout the British
empire and in other countries. A
variety of statistics were to be collect
ed three days each week and suitable
forms had been distributed on large
scale. The outbreak of the European
war, however. wrought havoc with
this undertaking. which had promised
to throw light on several obscure ques-
lions in autobiography. and only a
few stations in India. Australia, Can
ada, the West Indies and the United
States are now keeping up the work.
Private wireless stations throughout
the British empire were either dis

northeast and southeast, respectively,
to a point about two.thirds the alti-

sharply to nearly due north and the
