TOKYO STREETS A PUZZLE.
Even Old Residents Are Said to Find
1t Hard to Make Their Way
About Them.

Tokyo is made up of a group of small
towns which expanded until, like the
old lady's two teeth, they hit. 1t is the,
most conservative city in Japan, and is
the one most lacking in unity of spirit.
Each district has its own market and
its own shops. Homes and stores are
mixed together in bewildering confu-
sion, and even old residents find it
hard to find their way about the
crooked streets.
On my motorcycle, the only way /
have mastered the problem is by mem
orizing the numbers of the tram lines
and then riding till / see a car. Then
l know where / am. The city is
grouped around the imperial palace,
and segments, like dehorned pieces of
pie, radlate from the center of the cob
web. AS n cannot start from the
center of this mixup, due to the fact
that that is where the sacred person of
the emperor holds court, he must play
ring around the rosy at some dis
lance from the center. If he is near
the outer circumference, two miles on
his ~speedometer mean one thing. If he
circles the inner moat, they mean an
other.-Christian Herald.

cARRANzA ELECTED PRESIDENT.
Received All But Few Scattering
Votes at General Election.

Mexico City.-General venustiano
Carranza was on March IL, elected
president of Mexico by what is be-
lieved to have been the largest vote
ever cast in the republic.
Although the voters had the priv
ilege of writing in or declaring any
name they desired, General Carranza
received all but a few scattering bal
lots. The estimated vote cast runs all
The way from several hundred thou
sand to a million.
The presidential election was pro-
vided for in articles adopted by the
constitutional assembly which met at
Queretaro. Many old residents de-
clare il was the first real election ever
held in this country. Reports from
various parts of the republic indicat-
ed that there were no disturbances or
intimidation.

MOSLEMS BEATEN
BY THE BRITISH
HAGDAD, TURKISH STRONGHOLD,
HAS BEEN CAPTURED BY
ENGLISH FORCES.
General Maude's Forces Win Coveted
Goal After Two Years Effort
Turk May Now E~vacuate
Persia.

London.-Bagdad, the chief Turk
ish city in Mesopotamia, and former
iy the capital of the empire of the
caliphs, has been captured by the
British forces. Announcement by the
c%apitulation OF the city was made
Sunday evening by the British official
press bureau on receipt of a telegram
from General Maude saying the Brit
ish forces had occupied Bagdad early
Sunday morning. No details were
contained in General Maude's dis
patch.
The fall Of Bagdad, besides ending
German hopes of near eastern domin'
ion based on a Berlin-Bagdad railway
will reyerberate throughout the Mo
hammedan empires, and, 1t is be
lieved. will more than rehabilitate
British prestige in the far east dam
aged by the earlier loss Of Kut-el
Amara.
Bagdad's capture marks the climax
to one of the most dramatic and pic
turesque phases Of the world war
The city which has fallen to British
arms links the present to a past SO
distant that 1t is semifabulous. The
known history of Bagdad reaches
back for more than four thousand
years to the shadowy times of King
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, a quay
built by the scriptural monarch still
existing submerged in the Tigris.
Within it's precincts also there still
stand the tombs of the Jewish proph.
cts, Joshua, Ezra and Ezekiel, and
the well of Daniel.
Long after the Bablonian dnasty
had ceased to be more than a mem.
DRY, Bagdad rose to splendor as the
artistic. literary, scientific and religi.
Gus capital of the world. The heart
of the great Islamic empire of the
caliphs for hundreds Of years, it was
known throughout the world as "the
glorious city" and was the scene OF
the fantastic exploits of Haroun AL.
Raschid, the potentate whose mag.
niflcenee is immortalized in the
