Atlanta Body
Increases For
One Third

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 15.-By cam
paign of only four days, under the di-
rection of the new president, Victor
Kriegshaber, the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce has increased its member
ship fully SO 1870, jumping from near
1000 members to over 1900.
The significance of the increase is
seen in it's serious light when it is
known that each new member pays
dues of $40 or $50 a year, according to
whether he joins as an individual or a
firm.
The Chamber of Commerce cam
paign is part of the movement to re-
vive the old substantial Atlanta spirit,
now that the recall election has put a
final end to the dissensions from
which Atlanta has been suffering for
many months.

PASS
AWAY FOR JAPAN

TOXIC, Jan. 15.-Although the de-
preston caused in Japan by the
war has not been removed as yet, the
economic situation here has greatly
improved according to T. Taketomi,
the minister of finance, who submit
ted his budget for 1916 to the Diet yes
terday. In view of possible decrease
in revenue the government had in
exaggerated policy of retrenchment
since the beginning of the war. No
body knew when the war would end,
the minister said, and when normal
financial conditions were restored ia
pan would start new enterprises.
Activity in various lines of indus
try had been restored already indicat
ing that the effects of the war were
beginning to pass. The minister es-
timated the total receipt for the year
at $50 ,504,264 yen, or about 1851, 1872
1872. This would be a decrease of 1874
897,291 yen or $77438,645 compared
with 1915. The expenditures would
snow a decrease of 1873 ,561,346 yen or
SOL, 7S0,673.
AS the result of the increase of ex-
ports, chiefly war supplies but with
the movement of silk to the United
States an important item, the Japanese
specie reserve increased up to the end
of November to 5O5,000,0 900 yen. Com
pared with the amount of last year,
3z6,000,000 yen, there has been an in
crease of about 179,0O0,0OO yen. The
minister said: Such an example had
neevr been shown before of the specie
reserve having been increased with
out resorting to loans. The govern
nent is planning to increase the specie
reserve all the more and to decrease
our debts abroad Owing to this in
crease of specie reserve there has
been a tendency towards initiation of
the market and a fall of interest re-
sulting in the rise of bonds and other
negotiable instruments. All these
things are a result of the war, mainly.

AS far back as 1913 kumagae was
making it interesting for American
tennis players although he was COM
paratively new to the game at that
time. In company with three other
Japanese players he entered the Far
Eastern tournament played at the be-
ginning of 1914 and succeeded in
working his way to the semi-final
round of the singles and with Nomura
reached the final of the doubles. The
entry list included the leading Eng
lish, German and American resident
players of Far Eastern countries as
we'll as William M. Johnston, the
present American champion, and Ella
I Fottrell who made the trip from Cal
ifcrnia especially to play IN the tour
ney.
At that time Kumagae was a stud
ent at Keio University who had taken
up tennis only two years before and
who had played the game with a plain
rubber ball, such as children bounce
on the sidewalks of the country, up to
within a few months of his first
tournament. Notwithstanding his lin
tied experience Kumagae made it de-
cidedly interesting for both ]. Fottrell
and Johnston. In the semi-fnal of
the singles it required five sets of the
hardest kind of play by Fottrell to de-
feat the Japanese. The scores were
IS, As, GOA, As, CO in favor of Fot-
trell but the match was carried over
day on account of darkness when
Fottrell led at two sets to one with
Ihe fourth 90 games in favor of Ku-
magae. This unfinished set was
thrown out the next day and the Jap
anese won the play over at GA Had
he received credit for his overwhelm-
ing lead of the preceding day he
would hav undoubtedly won the match
and met Johnston in the final. As it
was Kumagae, with Normura for a
partner, gave Johnston and Fottrell

among the American tennis players of
1915, by the japanese expert Kumagaa

Saturday Jan. s, is another illustrat

team work was handicap against the
clever play of the Americans and
they were defeated 6-2, Ga, 6-2.
Kumagae is a short stocKy Japanese
with a powerful overhead and fore
arm drive while his service and back
hand play compares favorably with
that of the average American big
tournament player. He is exception
ally fast on his feet and possesses re-
markable powers of endurance. If he
should compete in this country next
season, as has been suggested, it will
be found that Kumagae will be entitl-
ed to rank among the first fifteen
players of American lawn tennis. In
ell his matches he had shown indom-
table spirit and determination, never
conceding a match lost until the last
point is scored against him. Another
factor in his favor is that the expert
ence and reputation of an opporent
never appear to overwhelm the Japan
csc racquet expert.

ing a total of 48 runs to 1G. All told
Chicago played twelve games in ia
pan winning one against the All Am
orleans by score of 20 to 0 and the
other by 5 to l from the All-Japan

with the Japanese collegiars resulted
in shut-out victories for the Maroon
players. The entire trip is considered
to be one of the most successful ever
made by a middle western university
nine. Out of total of fort-one games
played, thirty-three were won, seven
