OUTLAW ELK HAS
 JOINED N. '. LODGE
"BiIl" Became a Disgrace to Rest of the Herd Because
 He Was Too Tame
By Associated d Press

Yellowstone Park. Wyo., August 91. Bill" the outlaw elk of Yellowstone. has been adopted by, members of New York lodge B. P. o. E.
 Bill had been in disgrace. His crime lay in being too tame, Resi- dents of Mammoth, where park head quarters are located, spoiled Bill by teaching him to eat from their hands. From a pet he became a pest. So tame was he after season or two that he no longer joined his brothers and sisters in their wanderings about Yellowstohe and became an outcast.
 Also his tastes degenerated. They ]. became almost goat-like.l The day came when no laundry hanging from the backyard clotnesline was safe from his appetite. His special taste was for little silken dainties. So they locked Bill in corral and there he has remained.
 Then came the crowd of New York elks. visiting the park on their way home from their recent Los Angeles convention. A group of them visit ed the corral. where . number of calves are also kept.
 Hello, Bill" cried one to. an ap- preaching group. Bill knows his name. and thinking he was being summoned, hurried up for food. So surprised was Patrick McGrath exalted ruler of the New York lodge that he dropped a slip of paper he had been holding. with other mail in his hand. It was . membership application. Now Bill has a particular fcndness for scraps of paper and many maga- zine hero and telephone number have disappeared down his throat. A mo- | ment later and Bill had member ship tucked inside of him.
 l After that there was nothing Jeff | But to bestow soyhe sort of honor or the outcass. Accordingly he was of

WAR RUMORS MUST BE C H [ | K E'D
Japanese Paper Enumerates List of Things That Will
 Head Off War Talk
By Associated Press

Tokio. September 10.-It Is absurd to talk about war between Japan and portant in lessening the chances of Shimbun, but the silly rumors un- less stopped at their sources may one day become a reality. It, therefore, behooves both Japan and America to do their best so that all possibilities of war may be prevented. There are two ways to reach this objective. one is the limitation of armameqts, and the other Is a diplomatic understand ing. So long as the relations be- tween Japan and America remain strained as at present, satisfactory restoration of friendship between Japan and China, and renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance cannot be expected.
 People talk about the curtailment of warship building by Japan and the United States as a means Of averting the possible clash between the two countries. While this is, no doubt, true, they seem to lose sight of the fact that the removal of fortifica- tions on the Pacific islands is as i'm portant in lessening the chances ot hostilities as the limitation of naval strength.
 If America decides on the indepen- dence of the Philippines and removes the warlike defiances there, the defences of Guam Hawaii and on the Pacific coast would be useless. Since some Americans may be inclined to doubt Japans disinterestedness. it is advisable that a special agreement should be conducted between the two countries on ehe matter. If this is done, all chances of war between them will be reduced to a minimum.

By Associated Press

Washington, September 10.-veter- an difficulties in obtaining gocern- ment aid are expected to be greatly minimized by the consolidation of all governmental agencies administering soldier relief under one head-the veterans bureau. That is what Col. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle, director of the bureau. promises. The day of dual responsibility, of divided author ity in the governments dealings with former service men is ended, he says. and troubles of long standing among the veterans will rapidly disappear.
 Responsibility for adjusting claims, attending to medical needs and of educating disabled veterans. is de- finitely fixed under the law eating the veterans bureau. It rests spuarely upon the director, rather than between the war risk insurance

The set is duplicate of their own studio, and In these surroundings they sketch with great deal more rapldity than they would ordinarily, but despite this fact, each of their pictures is a detailed creation, rich, accurate and thorough.
 Carroll and German, billed as "Syncopating Entertainers" complete the programme. Syncopation, as one knows has a much larger family than Brigham Young, and represents one of the most entertaining groups the world of amusement has to offer. So, singing songs and saying saucy things. this pair creates lot of fun.

The force of the impact fell on his ear and although he has been pretty badly bumped and in considerable danger of injury on more than one occasion. this is the nearest he has ever been to a knockout; and he ad- mits himself that one star can see many It was fortunate that the photoplay finally was filmed, for IL took him a day or two to pull him self around to get his ear down to, normal size once more. Every time Ray saw the scene run off in the projection room he decisred that ix hurts him even to watch it.
 Ray finally manages to catch hold of the rope with his finger: then, throwing himself forward, he catches his shoulder against it and by tilting the chair back and forth rings the bell and summons aid. It is tense situation and once which goes over big.
