TONGS DECLARE ARMlSTICE
And Permanent Peace May Come to
pOrtIand's Chinatown.

Portland's Chinatown took on a
new appearance after the ten-day
armistice which has been entered
into by the warning tongs of the city
became effective.
All along the Pacific coast the
tongs entered into an agreement not
to wage further warfare for thirty
days, but in Portland the local orders
refused to sign for longer time than
ten days.
When the bulletin was posted on
the wall opposite the police station
announcing the truce, Chinese who
have been in hiding for several weeks
emerged from the rooms and APP
appeared on the streets.
While there is no danger of an out
break among the tongs of Portland
during the ten days. there is a posi-
bility of warfare being renewed as
soon as the truce expires.
Lee Nee Gin, head of the Chinese
Peace society In Portland. was instru-
mental in getting the members of the
warning tongs to sign the armistice.
He is optimistic regarding the posi-
bility of permanent peace.
While the Bing Kong-Sow Leons
tongs are still seven men behind the
Hop Sing-Suey tongs in the number
of fatalities, 1t is thot that this debt
will be settled in money instead OF
human life.-Oregonian.

HIGH SCHOOL ENROLMENT
MAY REACH 400 BY JUNE
Building VIII BE It's Own Best Draw
ing Card TO Increase Population
May Register Over 1000

II next weeks enrolment of high
school students measures up 10 the ex
pectations of the superintendent and
principal, Tulsa may register over
u thousand high school students this
year. About 325 freshmen registered
on Thursday and Friday, making the
total enrolment for the week about
1926. This does not include the fifty
to rs ninth grade students in the
junior high school. In addition at
least 150 freshmen will come in at
the beginning OF the second semester,
bringing the years enrolment in
grand total close to l,40O.
This is far in excess of any previous
years record but 1t Is, according to
some Of the schoolmen, below the
normal enrolment to be expected in a
city Of sixty thousand.
Principal l.. V. Tubbs, in speaking
of this condition, said that such was
to be expected In "A town like Tulsa.
because OF so much pioneering done
here, and men are far in excess or
women. MANY men come out to
Tulsa and leave their families behind
them" said Mr.. Tubbs. MANY young
unmarried men, seeking their for
tunes, and many young married
couples with children under high
, school age. make up the population.
Old people are very scarce here and
even the parents with children of high
school age are comparatively scarce.
All these things help to make high
school population below the normal
percentage in city of this size"
The new high school building with
all it's modern equipment and up-to-
date staff will do rGore to increase
high school population than any other
one factor. because Tulsans will keep
their children here to go to school
and men from larger cities whose
business interests center here VIII
move their families to Tulsa and put
ttheir children IN school.

Tpxing War Profits.

War profits taxation in Great
Britain amounts to so per cent. 1t
has been argued that three years
were required to bring the British tax
to its present level; therefore, we
should not impose correspondingly
heavy taxes in our first year OF war.
As we'll argue that since 1t took years
for Great Britain to get conscription

tented ourselves for another Is
