AT LEAST 100 ARE

Departure Of Americans
From Russia Has Not

Riga, Aug 6 by the Associate
Press American officials here have
prepared, at the request of the Wash

all American cvitizens in Russia, in
Guiding those in bolshevik prisons. This
list will be turned over to Walter l..

Grated is not known.
1t is certain that at least 100 claim

are seeking to leave the country and it
is believed efforts will be made to fla
cilitate their speedy return to the
United States.
The departure from Russia of Amer

BLUE LAWS HAVE
EXPONENTS nv JAPAN
Tokyo Chamber of Commerce Fayors
Closing All Shops on
Sunday.

New York, Aug 5.-Blue laws ar,
having their powerful exponents il
Japan as well as in the United States
according to information received By
the Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions at the boards headquarters, l5t
Fifth avenue, New York City. Ad.
vices received by the board are that
the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce has
formally put itself on record by The
adoption of a resolution favoring the
closing of all shops on Sunday. Here
tofore, Sunday has been, as a rule
wide open.
Following this action a commission

ing the hours of labor through the

commission designs 10 provide a week
ly rest day for all employees except
in hotels, eating houses and public
baths and also that working hours
shall be restricted to nine and one
half hours per day. with eight hours

Another important piece of news re-
ported from Japan to the Presbyterian
board is the tendency of the priests
of every denomination of Buddhism
to populsrize the Buddhist belief by
participation in every sort of social
service, which up to this time has been
neglected by them. As result chair
of sociology has been established at
the Jodo Sect college at Sugsmo, at
Setagaya and at Osaka, where every
scheme and measure of social service is
TO be investigated. social service
bureau has also been established where
relief work, special missionary work
and other forms will be undertaken.
The new temple Of Zoioji, now under
construction, will be the headquarters
on its completion in 1924 and a spe-
cial organization for social services
will be formed by the priests Of the
Jodo sect, where funerals viii be con-

WORLDS SEA GIANT.
Will Soon Become Flagship of Pacific
Fleet.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 6.-The
worlds most powerful fighting
craft, the superdreadnaught Maryland,
will soon become flagship of the Pacific
feet, according to Information received
by base officers here. In every respect
the Maryland is the latest achievement
of American naval architecture, and
according to armament, naval officers
say, it should be able TO put any 9th
er fighting unit out of commission.
Sixteen-inch guns, eight of them, the
largest ever mounted on a battleship,
form the major battery of this great
engine of war. These mammoth guns
are located in four turrets of two guns
each, and fire shell weighing 2.l00
pounds for distance of more than
twenty miles. These guns are fifty
seven feet in length, and for each full
charge approximately $50 pounds of
powder are required
The secondary battery consists of
fourteen five-inch guns, carried for
use against torpedo boats, submarines
and small craft. In addition the Mary
land has four three Inch anti -aircraft
guns, a three landing gun, six thir-
ty-calibre machine guns and two un-
derwater torpedo tubes for firing the
largest and longest range torpedoes.
The Maryland was launched March
20, 1920, and recently completed speed
trials off the Virginia capes. The tech
nical description follows: Length, 624
feet; beam, 97is feet; draft, 3oH feet;
weight, $4,000 tons; speed, 81 knots;
propellors, 4; shaft horsepower, 10000;
oil capacity, 100000 gallons; oil
burning boilers, s. 1t was built with
quarters to house a commander in
chief, and the navy department recent
" decided it should be flagship of the
Pacific feet instead of the California,
which had been assigned TO replace the
New Mexico as Pacific flagship.
Three more vessels OF the Maryland
type will be the Colorado, Washing.
ton and West Virginia, under construc-
ton
