Holds Last Meeting for Present
 School Year
 The last program meeting for this school year Of the Wrangell Parent Teachers Association was held at the public school building Wednesday evening, April '. ! Both the president.and vice pres, ident being absent. Mr. Upshaw was called to preside.
 The program consisted of pa pers and addresses, and of dem- onstrations by two of the high school young people. Marion Myers illustrated the method of finding the comparative resist. ance of different wire to the cleo trical currents.
 Miss Liberty Worden gave demonstration with the sonome- ter. Both demonstrations were very clear, and we want more of them, but we would suggest that our scientists translate their eX- plantations into the vernacular so that the uninitiated may under stand. i
 Miss Armstrong showed what a large amount of instruction in First Aid work can be given in a few minutes.
 MT. Corser talked on the culti- vation of the will. His contention was that the will AlouId be culti- vated in the home at the very be- ginning. He defined the will as the part that controls our animal reactions, and carries out our highest purposes. The school should put the romance into the harder studies like mathematics and languages, and so encourage the will to do its proper work. A man is educated, not in propor- tion to what he knows but in pro- portion to his ability to overcome difficulties.
 MT. Upshaw, from the stand. point of the man who knows, talked on thrift. He encouraged the ambition of all to carry gov . ernment paper. Mrs. Mccormack read an ar . ticle encouraging young people to make proper selections for gen. eral reading. Many useful and !. entertaining books were suggest ]. ed.
 . Mrs. Palmer in her paper on ]. home training emphasized the :. necessity of cultivating the ut. most confidence between parent : and child.
 A very important feature of the evening was the exhibit of
 the work of the pupils which was displayed in both the high school
 class room and the primary room.
 The art work showed that the young people of Wrangell are
 getting some very practical drill
 that only a few young people in
 our small towns have the privi-
 lege of enjoying.
 The association decided to hold
 its next meeting for business only
 on the first Thursday in May at 7:30. There will be election of
 officers for the ensuing year. Committees were appointed to take charge of a social and recep- . tion to be given to the children
 the Friday after Commencement,

JAPANESE MAY
STAY IN SIBERIA
Minister of War Tanaka Says
Negotiations With U. S.
, Are Friendly.

TOXIC. Tuesday. January 81 eby
the Associated Press).-Maj. Gen.
Tanaka, minister Of war, in reply to
an Interpolation in the lower house
tani, former minister of finance and at
present financial adviser to China,
said he was unable to state that the
Japanese expeditionary forces would
be withdrawn from Siberia after the
withdrawal of the Czechoslovaks.
Maj. Gen. Tanaka and Vice Admiral
Kato. minister of the navy, both in
sisted that Japan's military program
be left unchanged after peace, be-
cause it was intended for self defense
and not for aggression.
American Status Friendly.
Viscount Uchida. the foreign min
lister, speaking with regard to the sit
uation in Siberia, said, that negotia-
tions between Japan and America
were proceeding in a most friendly
manner
He pointed out that in some quarters
the opinion had been expressed that
the note of the American government
concerning the dispatch Of Japanese re-
Inducements to Siberia was insulting
to Japan. Such opinion, the foreign
minister asserted. was entirely ground-
less.
Replying to an Interpolation con-
cerning China, Viscount Uchida said
that Japan's policy aimed to promote
friendship between the two countries
by assisting in bringing about a com
promise between the factions of north
ern and southern China, for which a
mutual understanding by both peoples
was necessary.
Speaking of the Russian situation.
Viscount Uchida declared the allies did
not intend to recognize the bolsheviki.
That was a question of the utmost
Importance to Japan, he asserted.

EAGLE HUT RAz|NG
TO Be POSTPONED
Merchants Declare Postal
Station Is Needed in Mar
ket Section.

Date for the razing of the Y. M. c. A.
Eagle Hut. at 8th street ana Pennsyl-
vania avenue, containing the Center
Market postal station, has been ex-
tended from February 2 to February 29,
following petition signed by 200 mer-
Oyster. chairman of the District rent
commission,
City Postmaster Merritt o. Chance
joined his forces to those of the mer-
chants. and told the District Commits
sioners that the Center Market postal
stations in the city, has become a
necessity for the section which 1t
serves.
The service is most necessary" Capt
oyster told the Commissioners.
Stations Business Large.
The Center Market postal station,
established during the war, is used by
merchants of the Center Market. the
commission merchants and other resi-
station is doing big business, and city
post office officials and merchants alike
are making drive for it's retention.
indicative OF the large demand made
upon the Center Market postal station.
the superintendent of the station said
TO-DAY that from January ] to 2s the
station had sold $1O,7S77O worth of
stamps alone to merchants, and that by
tonight the sale of stamps will have ex-
ceeded $4,000. correspondingly large
money order and parcel post business is
transacted.
1t is the hope of Postmaster Chance
that the Eagle Hut will not be torn
down. as the knights of Columbus
cottage nearby is bein<. demolished.
but that II the order for the razing
of the hut by February 20 is not re-
voked the portion of the hut contain
ing the postal station will be allowed
to remain.
Search for New Site Futile.
Search by the city post office for an
other office for the postal station has
proved futile to date, and officials
expressed the opinion today that
there is really no other place large
enough to house the station in the
vicinity so convenient to the patrons
which it serves.
Order to remove the Eagle Hut,
which is located on District of Co.
lumbia land, by February was is
sued by the Commissioners, but ex-
tended to February 29. as stated, upon
the request of the petitioning mer-
chants and the city postmaster. Sixty
days had been the original time
granted for the removal Of the hut
before the extension.
1t is the hope of the postmaster
that the Commissioners may be pre-
vailed upon to allow the hut to re-
main. or at least that portion of it
which houses the Center market pos
tai station. The floor space of the
station is large. and the station con-
stitutes one of the biggest Of the clas-
sif1ed stations.
