On December was election
night in National Tent and the at
tendance was somewhat increased
in numbers and the election passed
on very quietly, as most of the Of
ficers were reelected and the
"stand-bys," as they are usually
called, selected the old officers
whom they have tried and felt
inclined to re-elect as a token of ap-
probation.
Edward Smith, the accommodate

changed when good man is on

from chaplain to lieutenant com
mander. an office he has formally
held, and E. w. Norriss was elected
chaplain. A. F. Shambaugh was
elected trustee for thre vars to

The tent will move into other
quarters the first of January and
change the meeting night to Mon
day night, which is its original
meeting night. and a hall is being
fitted up at Eighth and streets
for the meetings.
Maj. Walker, an old member of

address. The mass meeting which
is to be held at Eighth and F

the members of the several tents
in the city and such members Of

Tokio, July s.-Japan, the land of low prices, country where one may live on little or nothing monthly, Is gradually vanishing. If recent re. port of the American Legion post of Tokfo Yokohoma may be taken as a
 Statistics recently compiled by the local legion post, under a committee mercia1 Attache of the American en- bassy was chairman, would cause those who contemplate an adventure into the country of easy riding rtki- shas, to stop and wonder, consult the pocketbook and perhaps reconsider.
 First of all. say the American Le- zion members, living in Japan lacks turned travellers to the United States have been prone to arouse an interest in this part of the world.
 Salaries considered fairly good in the United States are not "good' sal aries in the Orient, the result of the investigation shows. For example, these statistics give an idea of the average salaries in Tokio and Yoko- homa, salaries which many of the questionnaires reported were not suf- ficient to allow any saving whatever:

PTS Family men, boarding ....- 666 Family men, renting houses . 541 ' Tt will be noted," says the report that in arriving at. the dollars re- quired a sum in round numbers was given. It is the feeling of the com nlittee that no one should come to Japan for sums less than the above. Unless it is definitely known that a house or mess is provided he should consider the salary for board CTS the one to insist on."
 Little hope for relief from the pre- sent high prices is seen in the replies given to the American Legion ques- tionnaires.

 The attention of the Highland Light coast guards was attracted to the steamers plight by whistlipg. and Captain William Page and his crew went out o her in their surf boat.

Plan To Repair
 The Alhambra

Madrid, July S-Plans for the re- pair of the old Moorish palace of the Alhambra, at Granada, have been ap- proved by the government and the minister of public instruction has signed a royal order appointing arch itects to execute the work as rapidly as possible
 The Alhaubra was built late in the thirteenth century by the Moors, who had invaded Spain and established a Moorish kingdom. The Moors held sway over large areas of Spain from 1235 until 1491, leaving behind them many noble works of architecture, the most beautiful of which was the Al hambra. During the past few years tn eancient building has been in need of repairs, but government action to restore it was delayed for various reasons.

1000 DEATHS DUE. TO YELLOW FEVER

Lima, Peru, July s.-Near1y 1000 deaths occurred from yellow fever during the last nine months in the departments of Lambayeque and La Lbertad. in Northern Peru, accord ing to statements published here at tributed to Doctor Henry Hanson, an American physician, who is in charge of the sanitation campaign directed against the fever by the Peruvian government and the Rockefeller foundation.
 The Rockefeller Foundation con- tributed $20,000 to fight the epidemic which is now reported to be de- creasing as result of the campaign and the approach of the winter sea- son. It was estimated there were about 10000 cases in the affected area. The feature of the campaign has been the war against the ste somyia mosquito. and the closing of water containers and stagnant pools in which moSquitoS breed.
 Doctor Hanson's staff is composed of three supervising inspectors, five Peruvian physicians and 100 inspect ors. It Is believed the affected dis tricts will be entirely rid of the fe- yer by the end of the year.
