The quarantine has been raised, the number of cases hay generals order reads:
 The division and cantonment com mander is very much gratified at the excellent conduct of the command during the recent severe epidemic of influenza and pneumonia. The ser vices of medical officers, nurses and hospital personnel have been highly commendable.
 "The losses of the division from death have been very heavy; heavier than many a severe action. Many thousands of men have been sick. but there has been neither complaint r unrest. Both men and officers have unrest. Bot hmen and officers have worked hard to better conditions The spirit shown speaks well for the flu ture conduct of the division.
 Sanitary regulations have been well carried out and discipline has been excellent, throughout the division and cantonment, and there has been every evidence of soldierly spirit shown at all times. The epidemic has practically passed and health conditions have reached a point where the quarantine can be raised"

FUNSTON BOYS HOLD
 SPORT CARNIVAL
 IN b|C A|RDOME

CAMP FUNSTON, Kan, Nov. B. An enthusiastic khaki clad audience of 2,500 men witnessed the big show at the airdome, located on a Fort Riley hillside. carnival of sports consum- ing more than two hours of boxing wrestling, singing and band music was presented with all the formality of a city auditorium affair, as far as the staging of the events was concerned In the bracing out-of door air, the sol diers gave vent to their enthusiasm in vocal applause that must have recalled < to the Kansas prarie hills about them the Indian war whoops of a century ago.
 The main event of the four boxing bouts was the four round "go" between Navy ROstan of the base hospital, and Johnny Bartoncin of evacuation ambulance No. 40 Bartoncin was five pounds heavier than his titled oppo- nent but Rostan's speed and hitting power more than overcame the weight handicap. Bartoncin stuck the four rounds with bulldog tenacity, but at the end, Captain Morganthalwer, ref cree, gave the decision to Rostan
 The show opened with a grappling bout between W. E. Perry of the Q. NJ. corps and F. R. Brugh of evacuation ] pounds and they wrestled ten minutes to a draw The bout was fast and closely contested throughout Another mat contest followed the curtain raiser and teemed with excitement ]. O. | Bishop and M. L. Geyer of the base 1 hospital were the contestants, the fall | going to Bishop after four minutes. The first glove event was a three round bout between a youngster by the romantic name of Romeo a protege of Lieutenant Hennesey and Stevens of evacuation ambulance No. 27. Romeo won the decision by a wide margin. but Stevens pluckiness won him ad- mirers in the audience.
 The surprise of the evening came after call for a volunteer had been made from the rostrum for someone to meet Gard of the gun sheds whose scheduled opponent was not on hand. A youngster who stepped forward was considered eligible-under the 40 limit. The volunteer, Vine of field hospital No. 18 set the crowd in an up- roar by the stirring manner in which ne entered the fray For three rounds he made 1t interesting for Gard, highly trained with the gloves, but in the fourth Vine slowed down from sheer exhaustion. A draw verdict met with general approval.
 Lieutenant Hennesey's band of fifty pieces played before the show started ana between bouts. Although only six weeks old. this band at once reveals that 1t is made up of experienced musi- clans It is under the leadership of l Private Eli Farney. Private Youker won repeated encores in his trombone performance. Corporal Snider sang There's Long, Long Trail" The shows are held every Wednesday night. 1T tse weather forbids using the hill

MEAGER INCOMES
 ARE TAXED IN JAPAN
(From Americus)

Japan having decided upon an in- crease in her navy that involves the expenditure of s150000,0O0 spread over six years, a general increase of taxa ton has been proposed, and it will probably be carried out.
 The income tax is to be raised in a way to bring an aggregate addition of 20 per cent, the increase being gradu- ated so as to be only 10 per cent upon the smallest incomes and 50 per cent upon the largest. The minimum in come taxed will be $250.
 A war profits tax is to be initiated on both business profits and on in comes, but no personal income of less than $500 year will be taxed on ac- count Of its having risen during the war. and in this way the wages of working people and moderate salaries do not have to pay for the wage in- creases of war time. Higher than $1,- 800. personal incomes must pay 15 per cent of increase and companies that have increased profits must pay 20 per cent tax upon the increase.
