ing from National Adjutant Lemuel

The following resolution was
adopted at the last National conven-
ton:
Whereas. much confusion and dupli-
cation OF effort has arisen in connec-
ton with the decoration Of graves of

properly designated historian officers
take immediate steps to organize q
Central Graves Registration Bureau
in each county for the purpose of
properly recording graves Of all World
War veterans and assigning such
graves to individual posts for proper
decoration On state occasions.
The national adjutant says that the
above resolution should apply not only
to veterans Of the World War but 10
all previous wars, that the informatio1
may be preserved. It is suggested
that the information may be some
thing like the following: Name. or
ganization, date of enlistment and
date Of discharge: rank at discharge;
place Of burial. cemetery and town or
city. 1t is also suggested that list
OF dead be obtained by each post from

Scenes of EearIy Duncan Activities

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 30-Five cid CTS and nine other church workers Of the Christian church of Metlakahtla who have been spending the greater part of the month in British Colum- bia visiting and holding religious ser vices a tFort Simpson, old Metla- kahtla, and Kitkala, returned to this city last night and today went home. The pilgrimage was in the nature of a memorial to the work of William Dun can and upon arriving at Fort Simp- son they held services on the spot where their great teacher first preach ed the gospel to the natives 60 years ago.
 Telling of the narrival in British Columbia and of the services held by the elders, the Prince Rupert Daily News in a recent issue contained the following article under a Fort Simp- son date line.
 A few days ago the elders of the Christian Church of Metlakahtla, Alas ka, arrived here to revisit their for mer home in Port Simpson where in 1857 the late Rev. Wm. Duncan first brought the light of salvation to the Tsimpsean people.
 These elders held their services on on the same site where MT. Duncan held his first service The ruins are still standing.
 During the service tribute was paid to the memory of the great missionary who sacrificed everything in order to administer to Ae warlike tribes, doing so at the peril of his life.
 It was brought out at this service that his efforts had not been in vain. The results of his labors reflected in the law-abiding natives. Mr Duncan taught them the simple faith in Christ and encouraged the people to develop the industries among themselves in order to make them self-supporting ing and credit to their adopted country.
 A service was conducted by these visiting elders in the Grace Methodist
 'urch. At this service a bible was dedicated to the people of Fort Sim son by the elders in memory of Rev. Duncan.

 FROM GOLD BAY

w. s. Laymon, of Portland, Oregon. arrived on the Starr and left on the Northwestern today, after two months stay in the Cold Bay oil fields. MT. Laymon states that there is little activity at the present time in the fields, but everyone is of the opinion that things will start over there in the spring.
 The one thing that has stood in the way of any development in the west ern oil fields is the lack of transporta- tion. Travel by water has to be done in small gas boats at an enormous ex- pense and the danger and inconve- nience connected with it also prohib- it access to the fields The first and greatest thing for the western coun- try is transportation. The operation of the steamer Starr on the western mail route vii ldo more towards the development of Alaska than any other one thing

 Trouble is not over for Ireland New CT did the future appear more obscure. As resul tof the vote8on the treaty Ireland faces internal disorganization which is giving rise to a great deal of anxiety. The split in the Dali Eireann has been intensified and the question before Ireland now is internal peace. The prospects for it are very dark. The voice of public opinion of the Irish people may be so strong in the demand for peace that the leaders will have to modify their stands. Devalera will come before the people for re- election. The result of this election will determine the future of Ireland. If he is reelected upon the principles he stood on in 1916, war and blood shed will continue in Ireland, how long no one knows.

Sec. Hughes Be Mediator Between
 China and Japan:

China claims, to give non-existing so- called German rights to Japan or to anybody. Japan could not become le- gal heir to Germany's rights in China merely by seizing Kaiochow and the railroad Germany herself could not without China's consent transfer them to Japan. To be legal heir to those rights Japan must herself receive them from China China's consent to the arrangements of the Shantung matter was necessary before the Paris conference could deal with the ques- tion and this was not done.
 Since the signing of the Versailles treaty Japan has proposed three times to confer with China regarding the restoration of Kiaochow, but China has steadily refused to enter such a conference maintaining that there Is notheing to confer about. All Japan has to do, China maintains, is to re- store stolen goods. Europeans, no less than Chinese, are eager for Japan to get out of China and stay out.
 If Secretary Hughes can adjust this matter between China and Japan it will be one of the most important mat ters settled at the Washington confer
