TOKIO. (Correspondence of the As
sociated Press.) The rapidity with
which the United States prepared for
war and the magnitude and success of
her military operations continue to
draw expressions of admiration from
Japanese. Generally speaking, the pub
lic in Japan regarded the United States
as a peace-loving; nation, which, having
no bent for war. could never do much
in the building up of a (treat army.
The wonderful transformation of
America in the war is the subject of
many articles by prominent publicists.
Thus, rr. Shigeo Suyehlro. professor of
Kyoto University, writes:
"There is no disguising; the fact that
prior to the war the Japanese did not
believe in the military strength .of
America, but the present titanic strug
gle has demonstrated beyond all doubt
the error of the Japanese estimate.
The United states has become a treat
military power at a bound and her
Navy Is only second to that of Great
Kritaln. The financial resources of
America are something tromendous. It
is stated that America would be able
to keep the war going for a quarter of
century at the rate of expenditure
which she spent for the first year. Sor
is this all.
'The Americans arc as great spirit

"The material and spiritual sacrifices
made by the Americcns In the cause of

hings are really wonderful, showing as

Dr. Suyehlro thought that it would

ry without a sufficient casus belli.

Further confirmation or Portland's
remarkable business expansion last year
are furnished in the increase in postal
receipts. The gross receipts of the
Portland postofflce for 1918 were $1,
630.000 as compared with ll.327.9S0 for
the preceding year, or an increase of
nearly 22 per cent. The Portland office
in 191$ did eight times the amount of
business handled in 1900, when the
gross receipts reached S215.9S7.47.

year increased f-200.000.
During the year 321.404 domestic and
foreign postofflce money orders, repre-sentiiia-
S3. 500.000. were Issued and an
additional $4.0o0,00o of surplus money-
order f und from other cities and towns
in the state was handled through the
Portland office. In the same length of
time money orders amounting to $4.-
000.000 were cached by the local office.
The parcel post business more than
doubled and in the 12 months more
than S4.000.000 of war savings stamps
were sold through the Portland office.
Bulldlag Total Greater.
Despite the restrictions imposed by
the tiovernment, Portland's record of
building operations shows an increase
tn 1918 of 69 per cent over 1917. in tne
last 12 months a total of S706 permits
were issued, representing Improvements
amounting to 6.174.1j.. During 1917,
Silt permits were Issued for buildings
aggregating S3.643,41.
Chief among the building operations
of the year was the completion of the
new Postofflce, which, witn the site,
cost S 1.360.000. During the year the
Northwestern Electric Company ex
ponded S1.7SO.000 In the construction
of a new steam generating plant. The
year 1919 promises continued and in
creased activity In building following
the suspension of Government wartime
restrictions and a return to normal con
dltlon.
With a population variously estimat
ed at from 312.000 to 333.000 today, the
Increase in the population of Portland
In the last 13 months is conservatively
estimated at 30.000. In its last official
estimate. It. I Polk 44 Co., compilers of
the city directory, on May 1. 1918. gave
the population of thn city at 211.351, or

Hused on the per capita of water con

credits Portland with a population of

So Mrs. Hutchinson couldn't go to

He had given up this practice four

That night Buckley set a trap in a
poplar grove near his home and baited
it with the rotten egg-. He hoped to
catch a red fox or perhaps a coyote.
But when he went out to his trap next
morning, what do you think he found?
The biggest silver fox Buckley ever
had clapped eyes on. He sold the pelt
in Peace River the other day for $346.
"A right nice lot o" money to hatch

NKW TORK. Of great significance
for the future was the resignation of
all boys in the state of New York front
lt to 19 years of age which took place
on Iecember 3. under tho direction of
the Military Truining Commission. The
proclamation of Governor Whitman
providing for this mobilization of youth
was generally observed. Somo of those
who evaded It are already tn the
clutches of the Provost Guard. Many
who were unable to register on account
of the lack of clerical help at the
schoolhousc centers appointed for this
purpose have been dealt with leniently
and are now having the opportunity to
put themsflvea on record.
Brigadier-General William H. Chapln,
chief supervising officer of the Bureau
of Technical Military Training, esti
mates that there were fully 300,000
boys In this commonwealth to whom
the law applies. Of these, he believes
that loo. mod are exempt on account of;
their being employed on farms or in
essential manual trades which are of
value in time of war. The remaining
200.000 are about equally divided be
tween the city of New York and the
regions beyond the Bronx. An army
of 200 regiments of youthful fighters
would make a formidable array, and
yet the value of the training which it
is to undergo is vastly more important
to normal everyday life than to the
actual preparation for war.
Because the registrants were required
to uppear at schoolhouses for enroll
ment the popular impression has grown
that only pupils in the educational sys
tem were included. The number of boys
In the city of New York who are still
at their books and are thus enrolled is
estimated at 10.000. and these are most
ly in the high schools. Ninety thousand
boys, many of whom were graduated
from the grammar grades at 14 and
went into tho trades or Into business
must also undergo military drill.
The provisions of the law are so far-
reaching that every boy in order that
he may legally attend school or be em
ployed must have a certificate stating
that he is enrolled for military training
and is meeting every requirement of
the statute.
The object of the policy of the state
Is well outlined in the proclamation of
the Governor.
"With the coming of peace," to quote
from that document, "the varied train
Ing contemplated by this act becomes
more Important than ever through its
Interpretation as a universal selective
training programme installing in our
youth a sense of responsibility to the
state In time of peace as welt as in
time of war and preparing them to meet
this responsibility intelligently and ef
fectively, not only through the lessons
of good hygiene, correct personal bear
ing, discipline aud obedience to properly
constituted authority, so prominent in
military drill, but also by emphasizing
the importance of vocational training
which may be of service to the state."
The inwluence of this law has stead
ily increased ever since 1916. With
addition of penalties from time to time
it has been made more drastic and far
reaching. This year the introduction!
POISON BLUNDER FATAL
Major Murfangh Gets Deadly Drug
in Error From Bellboy.
NEW YORK. Major John F. Mur
taugh, formerly a State Senator from
Elmira, and widely known as a lawyer
and politician, died in his apartment
in the Hotel Ansonla recently after
drinking an insect powder, which he
believed was Itochelle salts.
A friend said that Major Murtaugh
sent a bellboy for Itochelle salts and
bottle of mineral water shortly be
fore noon. He had great difficulty
making the boy understand his order
and repeated It several times.
The boy returned with a small round
box, later seen to be inscribed roach
salts," an dto bear printed matter ex
tolling its virtues as a destroyer of
insect life.

Vapo-Hub should be rubbed in over the

Such Women Just
Have to "Give Up"
"Man may work from sun to sun, but woman's
work is never done." That's why women are
overworked, nervous, all run down, no appetite,
and can "hardly drag around." Vinol creates a
hearty appet;te, strengthens the digestive organs,
induces sound sleep, invigorates the nerves, and in
this natural manner creates working strength.
Narragansett Pier, R.L
" I was all run-down, back ached,
and tired all the time. I keep house
for my husband end four children and
could hardly keep around. Finally I
tried Vinol and it has restored my
health and helped me wonderfully, so
I recommend it to others who are in
this condition." Mrs.HannahRandall.
Jacksonville, III.
"I keep house for my little family,
but got into a weak, nervous, run
down condition, tired all the time and
no ambition. My doctor told me to
try Vinol, and in a week I felt like a
new person. I am now strong again,
look after my baby, and do all my
housework." Mrs. G. H. Lam son.
For all run-down, nervous, mnaemie conditions, weak women, overworked men,
feeble old people aud delicate children, there i no remedy like Vinol.
