WOUNDED IN
GREAT DRIVE

]. A. Jones, manager of the Isis thea
tre, is just in receipt of a letter from
his brother, Harold Jones, who is with
the American expeditionary forces in
France, stating that he was wounded
in the leg, and in a hospital near the
western front. Mr.. Jones, who is cor
poral in the Company D., 19sth United
States Infantry, 2Sth division, in his
letter, which was most cheerful in tone,
declared that Arthur Guy Empey had
little on him, for he had been over the
top a number of times. He has only
been in France for about two months.
but has taken part in the great drive
on the western front.
Mr.. Jones had congratulated himself
that his brother was safe, as letters
recently received from his mother in
Scranton, Pa, stated that her son had
written her from France that he had
been in the great drive, and that in his
first time .over the top" his first SER
geant had been killed right at his side,
and the first lieutenant right in front
of him, but that he had escaped un-
harmed. The later letter, which reach
ed Mr.. Jones yesterday, stated that he
had been wounded in the leg, but de-
clared that he would soon be out and
after the Boches again.

SERIOUS RIOTS
OCCUR IN JAPAN

Toxic, Thursday, Aug. 15.-serious
rioting occurred int Toxic last night.
Mobs attacked and damaged property
in the business and theatre districts.
Rioters also pillaged houses in ABB
akusa, the great recreation resort of
the middle and lower classes. A num-
ber of disturbers were wounded by the
police. Troops have been called out in
nearly every important city in Japan.
Newspaper comment here seems to
indicate that the food riots throughout
the country are an expression of grow
ing social unrest among the people
and to reflect the belief that the en-
pire is advancing toward a social cri-
sis.
The roits are spreading, involving
alike poor and middle classes, who feel
impelled to protest against existing
economic conditions.

AMERICAN CLOTHES
GAINING VOGUE
IN ARGENTINA

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1S.-Ameri-

lily in Argentina as the result Of fall
ing European supplies, says a report
issued by the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce, department of
commerce This is especially true Of
hosiery, which before the war came
almost entirely from Germany. At
first there was some dissatisfaction
with the dyes used, but the excellence
of American colors has now been amply
demonstrated and complaint on that
score has subsidized.
There are eight million people in
Argentina. and the climate is rigorous
enough to make even the poorest a
consumer of wearing apparel. Argen-
tinians are naturally free spenders and
for the most part are willing to pay
literally for what they wear.
