BARON EIICH|
 SHIbUSAWA IS
 DEAD ) ! IN TOKYO
Notable Career of "Grano Old Man. of Business
 in Japan Ended

TOKYO, Nov. 11.-Baron Eiichii Shibusawa, Japan's Grand Old Man" of business, is dead here.
 Baron Eiichi Shubusawa was a founder and uncrowned monarch of the Japanese business empire. He enjoyed an influence and fame quite as great as any minister Of state His career was so closely interwoven with the growth os modern Japan that his public life is in itself a history of the eco homie and financial growth of the country. The Japanese called him the Nestor of their business world
 5 91 Years Of Age
 He was 91 years old, born Febru- ary 13. 1840, the son of an indigo merchant, in a small village near Tokyo. He received a thorough education in Chinese classics in his boyhood and later finished his studies in Tokyo, while the country was still under the Shogunate re- gime. Inspired with a patriotic zeal, he went to Kioto, the then imperial capital, where he entered the service of Lord Hitotsubashi, the influential branch of the Sho- gunate Tokugawa family. In 1867 a year before the downfall of the Shogunate, he was sent to France with one of the Tokugawa princes, but on the establishment of the Imperial government in 1869, he was appointed a high official in the finance department holding the post of junior vice-president, and rendered valuable service to the state with the then senior yice-minister of the department, the late Marquis Inouye. In 1873, he left the government on account of difference of opinion on the question of budget estimates, never to return to the government serv- ice though he was often offered the portfolio of the exchequer.
 Establishes Pioneer Bank
 Soon after his retirement from official life MT. Shibusawa estab- lished the First National Bank, the pioneer of National banks in Japan in 1873. Afterward he identified himself with the commercial and industrial progress of the empire and took the lead in almost all important business enterprises in- tended for the development and expansion of the country. Among many achievements which were undertaken on his own initiative are the Tokyo Chamber of Con- merce, the Tokyo Bankers Associa- ton, the Bankers Clearing House, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and the Tokyo Savings Bank, which was the first establishment of it's kind in Japan He was also foun- der of the Tokyo Marine Insurance Company, the Nippon Yusen Kali sha and many industries.

By KIRKE SIMPSON

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. H. Armistice day, 1881! Thirteen years ago today official word came .4apping oyer thousands of miles ot waiting wires that the World War was ended-the armistice signed.
 Three hours later, at II o'clock am. Paris time-6 o'clock for a vast army of sleepy war workers in Washington-the last gun roared on the western front. The carnage had ended; the postwar chaos be- gun.
 One moment, as that fateful message came in over wires held idle for hours to receive it, the nation was girded for war.
 Virtually in the next instant all was changed-as if a control lever in some titanic engine had been set over. The nation was in re- verse from it's war effort.
 Nowhere is the American story of that 24 hours of the first Ar mistice day told more graphically, more succinctly than in the minute by minute report that went from Washington over Associated Press wires that day.
 It takes more than 100 pages of closely-written newspaper "flimsy" to tell it-pages now drowsing, un- touched for years, amid files of the Washington office.
 There must be nearly 10000 words of that days story" out of Washington-a book in itself. Yet it could only mention briefly hap penings of utmost importance to the whole nation.
 Recreate from the files the scene of that November night in the As sociated Press bureau at Washing ton:

It may be interesting to Alas kans to know that the Govern ment tests made If ca.lnc14- -oia, prepared from waste and from canned salmon has shown that salmon oil from some sources is twice as potent in vitamin D and equal in vitamin D and equal in vitamin A to a good grade of cod liver oil. The oils that showed this potency were obtained from the salmon waste which had been handled in such a way as to preserve the maxi mum vitamin potency. These findings are of importance tc both the producer of oils and t. the consumer.

 FILE FOR REELECTION

Early in July it was indicated by Delegate Wickersham that he would go before the Republican primary in April for renOmina : tion so the announcement thru StrCller's Weekly is no surprise. Tor that matter, the political pilots have been forced to ad- init that there is no equal tim Der for the office in Alaska and that the Judge could not help but enter the race again.
 It is expected that others will declare for the same 0ff1ce-it would be rather peculiar not to have the Republican primaries more or less directed by the po- litical brigade of Juneau.
 1t is a long time yet before the Territorial convention of Demo crats will be held; in the mean time the Divisional conventions will have more or less settled, to the satisfaction of the Old Gang.

 "The annual deficit of the Alaska Railroad makes some of the federal lawmakers nervous, but do not think that the sys- tenn should be disposed of or it's service curtailed to the detri- ment Of the country.
