Charles Burnett, American military at
tache at Tokyo, has asked that copies
of the constitution and by-laws of the

are a number of his fellow-country
men there who served in the late war.
The organization of the Shanghai post
is being directed by Arthur P. Bassett,
military attache at Pekin, who served
for a time with the Fifteenth U. S.
infantry. _ ^
