THOROUGHNESS IS LAUDED Thousands of Orientals Parade With Ianterns an$l Celebrate "Japan Bay" at Fair; Xoted Speak ers Are Heard. SAX FRAXCISCO. Aug-. 81. "We must maintain the strongest kind of friendship. We must come closer to gether by dealing: justly with each" other," said William H. Taft. the prin cipal speaker on the occasion of "Japan day," which was celebrated today at the Panama-Pacific International Ex position. Thousands of Japanese from this city and all parts of the state participated in the celebration which began this morning and ended tonight with a lantern parade and a display of Japa nese fireworks. The anniversary of the birth of the Emperor of Japan was made the motive for the day. Banzai:" Greets Mr. Taft. Mr. Taft spoke to 5000 persons, fully half of them Japanese. He was in troduced as "the man who was, is and always will be the friend of Japan," and received a tremendous ovation, the great audience rising as he stepped for ward to speak. "My friends of Japan," said Mr. Taft, "there is something wanting here and I am going to supply that want on the birthday of your Emperor. I want you to raise the cry of 'banzai'." It was given with a will. "I have been to Japan five times," he coptinued, "and the only objection I have to going to that country is the fact that you always want to go again." Mr. Taft then paid a tribute to the late Kmperor Matsuhito, whom he had known personally. Japanese Thoroughness Landed. In speaking of Japan's participation in the exposition, he said: "Von have done your work as you always do your work with complete ness. You have learned the lesson of thoroughness. I have always had a closer feeling Tor Japan since an enter tainment at which I was present at the arsenal garden in Tokio, where I saw some of your great wrestlers and their deeds. I fe'.t like getting in com petition with them not on the mat but on the scales and finding out if I didn't outweigh them." Among the other speakers were llaruki Yamawaki, Commissioner-General to Japan; Yasutaro Numano, Con-sul-General; S. Asano, president of a trans-Pacific steamship line, and offi cials of the exposition. Twenty-five Japanese girls sang the national an thems of Japan and America. . ALASKAN STEAMER LOST EDITH SINKING WHEX ABANDONED BY MARIPOSA, Vessel and Cargo Valued at 9250,000 and Bound for Tacoma; Crew Picked Hp at Sea. SEATTLE. Aug. 31. The Alaska Steamship Company's freight steamer Edith, which was abandoned by her crew off Cape Hinchinbrook, Alaska, yesterday and afterward picked up in the Gulf of Alaska by the passenger steamer Mariposa, which attempted to tow her to Cordova, was later cast off by the Mariposa, and was sinking rap idly when last seen. The vessel and cargo were valued at $250,000. Tiie Kditn must have foundered soon after the Mariposa left. Vessel and cargo were insured. The ship was valued at $130.00; the cargo of copper concentrates, owned by the Reateon Copper Company, at $100,000. The steamer, returning from a voy age to Nome, put in at Latoucbe Is land to load copper concentrates for Taroraa. After leaving Catouche, the semi-liquid cargo shifted, a heavy sea having arisen, and the Edith took an alarming list to port. The crew of 46 under Captain C. B. McMullen. believ ing the Edith was doomed, took to the lifeboats and were picked up a short time later by the Mariposa, north bound. The Mariposa then set out to save the Edith, but abandoned her in a linking condition after towing her a short distance. The Edith was an iron vessel of 2369 gross tons. 276 feet long, and was built at Sunderland. England, in 1SS2. She was christened Glenochil. and sailed under the British flag for many years. The Edith waa brought around Cape Horn during the early days of the Klondike gold boom, and has since been a freighter between Pug?t Sound and Alaska. 16 COAL MINERS KILLED Oas Kxploion Catches 300 Men at Work; Majority Escape.

It is not denied now that the announcement of the engagement of Crystal Hyland, called the most beautiful girl at the Exposition, to Luis O.

Invaders of Dardanelles Kept In Isno. ranee of Russian Reverses and Sur render Voluntarily, Says Wrltter. BERLIN. Aug. 31. (By wireless to Sayville, N. Y.) The British employed 100,000 men in their attacks on Turk ish positions on the Gallipoli Peninsula last Saturday and Sunday, according to a dispatch from Constantinople to the Frankfurter Zeitung. and their losses were extremely heavy. The correspondent estimates that since August 6 the British losses have been in excess of 50,000. According to the correspondent, the killed among the British troops in the fighting of August 2S and August 29 included about 600 officers. A cav alry division, he declared, was almost completely wiped out. The dispatch continues: "British prisoners knew nothing of the fall of Warsaw and other Russian fortresses. They had been told that the Russians held the entrance to the Bosphorous and were working toward a junction with the British. In con trast with the first months of the campaign, many British soldiers now voluntarily surrender themselves." STUDY COURSE CHANGED Salem High School Students Will Have Freedom in Choice. SALEM. Or.. Aug. 31. (Special.) Superintendent of Public Instruction Churchill today announced a new course of study for high schools. Mr. Churchill said that in country 'high schools it often was necessary for teachers to Rive instruction in subjects for which they had made no special preparation, and for toem a definite outline of the work is of much value. Much freedom in, the choice of sub ILK 1KOM BOLIVIA. jects is given in the larger high schools, so students may not be required to take subjects in which they are little interested, and for which they have no particular aptitude. The minimum requirement for gradua tion is 15 units of high school work with recitation periods of 40 minutes in length, but pupils are urged to com plete the course by taking four sub jects each year for four years, thereby earning IS units. The course of study permits pupils to earn from one to three units for graduation in either vocal or instru mental music taken outside of the school, provided the work is given by a competent teacher and the pupil spends at least 80 minutes daily in practice or instruction. " There is also a new course required to be given in all high schools, upon th.e completion of which a student will be permitted, to enter a teachers' exami nation. This course is made necessary on ac count of a law which became opera tive on September 1, requiring all per sons who have not had at least six months of successful teaching experi ence to complete an elementary teach ers' training course before they are permitted to enter an examination for a teachers' certificate. The elementary teachers' training course is in addition to the teachers' training course which has heretofore been given in many of the larger high schools. EU KRIEGERBUND ALSO QUESTIONS WILSON'S NEUTRALITY. Loyalty to America In Case of War Is Declared by Speaker) Officers Are Elected. ST. PAUL, Aug. 31 The Kriegerbund of North America today sanctioned ad mission to membership of ex-soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army, and after a heated and at times disorderly debate, elected Henry Overman, Cincin nati, president, and adjourned with the tentative agreement that the next meeting will be held at Columbus. The other officers are Otto Kiest. of St. Louis, vice-president; Otto Dietz, Chi cago, secretary, and Franz Erling, St. Paul, treasurer. Mr. Erling in a speech declared that whatever may be the outcome of the relations between the United States and Germany, these Germans, living Jn this country, would be with their adopted land to a man. He said that, while President Wilson may think he is main taining a neutral attitude, the Germans In this country reserve the right to decide that matter for themselves. "Profound disgust" at the "monu mental egotism" of Theodore Roosevelt in "assuming to represent neutral America" is expressed in resolutions adopted by the federation of associa tions of German veterans and ex-military men which met in conjunction with the Kriegerbund of North Amer ica. He is dubbed the "loquacious ex politician of Oyster Bay" and his "in sensate spitefulness against the Ger man people" is condemned. few Comptroller Xamed. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. President Wilson today appointed Walter W. Warwick, of Ohio, as controller of the treasury, succeeding George E. Downey recently appointed a Justice of the Court of Claims. Charles M. Foree for many years chief clerk of the office, was appointed to succeed Mr. Warwick as assistant controller. MUSCULAR BACKACHE The muscles of the back do the heavy work of the body. When they are over worked or, ill nourished they ache and people who are looking for trouble be gin to worry about their kidneys.

TAF.5 CHUCKLE IS CONTAGIOUS AT FAIR Humor of ex-President on Red Cross Day Captivates Crowd at Ceremony. SOCIETY'S VALUE RECITED Plea Made for Consistent Support of Organization 'Which, He Says, Performs Service In Disaster . Which Cannot Be Measured. BY ANNE SHANNON MONROE. OREGON BUILDING, PANAMA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION, 6an Francisco, Aug. 28. Saturday. Red Cross day at the exposition, might easily have been called Taft day, so completely did the Taft chuckle and the Taft red tie and the big Taft smile, and even the Taft family dominate it, wholly against the Taft wishes, be it firmly added. It was Red Cross day; ex-President Taft insisted it was Red Cross day; but the big audience that filled Festival Hall insisted on thinking it was Taft day and applauding his appearance to the echo and applauding at every pause in his speech, until the Taft chuckle of amusement came to the rescue and made everything all right. Some way that was the impreasion that one got that, after all, everything is all right. There might seem to be worries and troubles just beyond today, but after all is said and done the sun still shines and flowers bloom, men and women love and children play and are happy. Woman Tells pf Red Cross Worbu The occasion was the presentation of the exposition bronze plaque to Miss Mabel T. Boardman, president of the Red Cross Society. It took place in Festival Hall, with James Rolph, Jr., presiding. R. B. Hale presented the plaque; Miss Boardman made a very comprehensive speech of acceptance, in which she outlined the activities of the Red Cross Society since its organiza tion; then came the address on "The Efficiency and Economy of Our Ameri can Red Cross and Its Neutrality," by William Howard Taft. Wallace Sabin contributed several pipe-organ ' num bers. On the platform, in addition to Mrs. Rolph and other San Francisco ladies, were Mrs. Taft and Miss Taft. Vice-President Hale, of the exposi tion, in his speech presenting the plaque to Mies Boardman. spoke of Mr. Taft's place in San Francisco's history. "To no one person does our organiza tion owe more than to the honorable citizen, Taft." Chuckler Acknowledges Applause. That word citizen is getting to mean a lot these days; it's a mighty good word. When Mayor Rolph introduced Mr. Taft, he spoke of him as "a lead ing, most respected citizen of our coun try today, who dignified the office of United States President, and since leav ing that office had dignified the name of citizen just as much." When Mr. Taft rose to speak the ap plause was so prolonged and enthusias tic that he said, when at last he could oe heard, with his characteristic chuckle: "This is a kindly welcome to tne tait lamuy. but this Is a Red Cross meeting. With all deference to the Mayor and the cordial remarks of Vice President Hale, I must say, recalling a well-known play of a few years back, it's a case of 'too much Johnson.' " He then went on to insist that he was merely called on to fill out the spaces. "Brother Roosevelt and Brother Bryan and Brother Myself go strolling about the country, and our chief function is to keep the ball roll ing, i ou can t get much from any of us. But you have to have someone pronounce the benediction, and perhaps I'm as good as the next man." He then read seriously from his writ ten speech for a few minutes, which dealt mostly with the -need of pre paredness in Red Cross ranks: then broke from it with another of his chuckles, to remind h! audience that a hurriedly picked up nu.-sing corps of willing but untrained persons would be a case of "stomachs and alimentary BUSINESS CAREER DEVELOPS INTO A GREAT "GETTING TOGETHER" Improved Method of Handling and Developing Business Wins Widespread Approval A wonderful business book could be written around the actual facts which make up the history of Eilers Music House. Enough pianos alone have been sold through this firm to place one with' aiiersrncteh18d99family- ln the d The final test of merit of any busi ness house is: "What do Its customers think of it?" In the Portland house, the headquarters of the business, is a huge vault, in which thousands upon thousands of completed contracts are filed away. Each filed contract rep resents a customer who has bought and paid for his piano and gone away a friend and loyal supporter of Eilers Music House. GREAT CONSOLIDATION THE FINAL WORD OF POPULAR APPROVAL. Thj Eilers principle is the old-time principle of .selling many pianos at the lowest possible price per instru ment, and selling only those instru ments that are known to be the best furnishing a positive guarantee of satisfaction or money back. Success is not counted merely in dollars made, ""t'h tne number of sales concluded. Take care of your customers and the profits will take care of themselves,' is the motto of the Eilers Sales Man agement. Upon this idea the stupen dous Eilers business has been created Now, in earring that idea a step further, three big stocks of musical merchandise are to be consolidated into one establishment. To put this plan into operation in the shortest possible time, a closing out sale of most drastic reductions has been started in all three places at once. While this sale has been in prog ress, unheard of low prices have been offered. The month of August, gen erally considered a dull month, has. in the case of one of the three houses, been the BIGGEST MONTH IN ITS HISTORY not excepting the great Christmas months of the past. There is but one- reason for this great selling record. That is' the re ductions are so marked and values so great that the most conservative buyers invariably find that this is THEIR CHANCE. Right from the first day prices have been marked down to the last notch. Realizing that low prices would have to do it. and that quick action to com bine these stocks Is the first thing of importance, prices were made so low right from the start that no fur ther reductions could be made. This is a chance for the careful buyer.
