SUFFRAGE TO BE
 GIVEN JAPANESE

Tokio. Dec. 20-Addressing the prefectural governors of the Empire, Takejiro Tokonami, the Home Min ister in the new Hara party cabinet, indicated the other day that the gov ernment would bring about a revis- ion of the suffrage system so as to promote constitutional government in Japan. The present suffrage in Ja- pan is extremely limited. Local self government, he said, also would be extended.
 The minister paid tribute to the patriotism and devotion of the AL lies in the present war. He said, Tt is remarkable fact that every nation has, on account of the war. enormously strengthened it's national ideas. The unity and solidarity so we'll achieved by the Allied nations have been accomplished by the virtue of individual initiative on. the part of the people. The urgent need for us is that the admirable qualities in herent to our national character be fully developed although the awak- ening of each individual, thus will the noblest traits of our national life be perfectly realized.

IN OPEN COMPETITION.

This is the first time that the postmaster of city of Boston's size has been selected in accordance with civil service regulations. The posi- ton pays $8,0O0 a year in salary and it is expected there will be no lack of applicants. Even if the race is free-for-all, however, the field Will quickly be narrowed down, because, as "business training and experience count 80 per cent. on a basis of lOO' only few can qualify at the start.
 Since Postmaster Murray's death Assistant Postmaster William B. Hur- ley has performed the duties of the office. And as he tknows the postal business from the ground up," there is reason for the belief that he VIII start big favorite in the race.
 MT. Hurley entered the service as letter carrier and he was a postothce inspector when chosen by Postmaster Murray to be his assistant---largely because he was considered the mos experienced man in Boston for the job.
 It is understood the Civil Service Commission will send an examiner on from Washington to hold the eX- animation in this city.

GIFTS FOR MEN-GIFTS FOR YOUNG

Mems Gifts Should Be
 Purchased at a Mans Store

Each season we seek to i'm press upon those who make gifts to men, that the place to purchase them is at mans store.
 This means more than it seems at first thought. It means gifts selected by a buyer who knows mems preferences and likes before they appear in our stock. It means year round quality be- cause this is a year round store.
 For a quarter of a century thou, sands of men have made this their own store, and the same qualities, styles, and servlce which have drawn these men to us, empha- size the store's value to those buying for gifts for men.
 This is to be a practical Christ mas--many gifts are to be made to those for whom we all wish to show exceptional consideration, therefore, let the selection be wise let us help you find the right gift.

Leesburg, July 23.-Co-ordinating
the efforts of the various chambers of

A plan for getting members was

with projects to conserve man power
and time.
Believing that "tick-free Florida"
will be one of the most effective adj
vertisements which this state can
have, in that it will serve to attract
the most substantial class of settlers,
the directors adopted the following
resolution:
WHEREAS, forty Florida counties
have during the past year made ap-
preparations through their boards Of
county commissioners for the building
of dipping yats and dipping of cattle,

ESQ MILES PER HOUR COULD
BE ATTAINED BY AIRPLANES

London, July 23.-"It would be very
easy for any English airplane manu-
facturer to produce machine which
could make better than $50 miles an
hour declared Captain w. G. Aston,
one of the leading English experts on
air mechanics, here the other day.
This could be accomplished" he ex-'
planned, "by merely altering the curv-
ature, or Gambler, of the planes. But
this would mean minimum landing
speed of $50 miles an hour, and there
is the great difficulty. The machine
would be unquestionably fyable, but
its successful landing would require
an aerdrome five or six miles long, to
say nothing Of extraordinary skill on
the part of the pilot"

U-BOAT COMMANDERS
ARE SMOOTH TRICKSTERS


London, June .--(Correspondence
of thte Associated Press. )-Tricky
German U-boat commanders have con-
ceived new plan designed to deceive
crews of the allied submarine destroy
ers in the game of hide and seek in
European waters. When depth bomb
lis discharged and does not cripple or
destroy the German undersea boat, as
sometimes happens, a quantity of oil
is released by some device of the sub
mersible and quickly rises to the wa
|ter's surface.
The hope of the German U-boat cap
tain is that the commander of the
destroyer will see the oil, believe that
the submarine has been wrecked and
drop no more depth charges. Mean
time, the German is endeavoring to
escape.
American and British commanders
of destroyers and submarine chasers
discovered the scheme of the Ger
mans some time ago and since then
have been dropping depth bombs in
greater numbers than previously, us
! ing the oil as guide to the general
location of their target.
"Oil camoufage" the American and
British navy call this latest German
submarine trick.

SEE END OF GUARD
SYSTEM FOR WAR

That the general staff recommenda-
tions for the country's future mill
tary preparedness will not include
use Of national guard, is the belief
in some War Department groups to-
day.
Practical killing of the national
guard through the decision Of Acting
Judge Advocate General Ansell will
necessitate substitution of another
method or reorganization of the guard
in practically all States.
Thus far it is too early to know
what the country's attitude will be.
However, 1t is felt here that political
considerations and local community
pride will result in an effort to re-
vive the guard in many places
However, general stah men, by
reason of their training, are natural
ly favorable to a regular army organ
ization or to a system which central
ICES in the War Department rather
than in the States. This spirit is be-
lieyed likely to cause the stan TO
recommend some form of universal
military training, provided 1t has an
opportunity later to present its views
to Congress.
There is much doubt here that the
country is inclined to favor the uni
versal system, and much will depend
upon the outcome of efforts in the
Paris peace conference at obtaining
a world league of nations and a de-
crease of armament and militarism
