Washington March 23, (By A. P.)--
General John J. Pershing was for-
mally designated by President Coolidge
as president of the Tacna Arica pleb-
iscite commission on which the ex-
ecputive relies to end the 40-year-old
dispute between Chile and Peru under
his recent award as arbitrator.
The former commander of the Am-
erican expiditionary forces thus was
called once more to active, patriotic!
service for an undertaking he knows
will involve heavy responsibilities and
much labor, deferring indefinitely the
retirement he has enjoyed in nameI
only since he relinquished his post
as chief of staff of the army.
In a brief statement issued after
the announcement of his appointment
at the White House, Gbneral Persh-
ing made evident the spirit which
prompted him to accept his new task:
"My very deep interest in the wel-;
fare of the American republics to the
south and my desire for the maintain-,
once of friendly relations among us'
all make it a pleasure to be of any
possible service towards these ends.
I consider the duties of the mission
to which the president has assigned
rne very important and most sincerely
hope that they may be performed to
the satisfaction of all concerned.
General Pershing is the first to be
named of the three members of the
commission which will supervise the
determination by popular vote and
under suitable safeguards of the sov-
ereignity of the two disputed terri-

Warm, summer weather prevailed
over the area in southern Illinois and
Indiana, devastated by the tornado
last Wednesday, and relief work pro-
gressed rapidly along with the burial
of the dead and the housing of the
homeless. Rebuilding saws and ham-
mers glinted in the sun light, while
doctors and nurses worked hard to
save the lives of the injured.
Rechecking of the casualty list with
additional dead from wounds raisedI
the total in some places and reducedi
the figures in others leaving the toll
tonight at 810 without including a
score supposed to have been inciner-
ated at Murphysboro, where 150
blocks were blown down and the
debrist partly burned. Red Cross'
workers also announced that the 2,9391
elude hundreds of persons who had
been injured, but who had failed to
report the fact owing to the excite-!
ment and necessity of aiding others
more severely injured.I
The total property loss has not
been compiled but will likely be more
than $12,000,000 in Illinois alone. With
some $3,000,000 in Indiana and about
$1,000,000 in Missourt, Tennessee and
Kentucky the property loss is likely
to exceed $18,000,000. This figure is
more serious than its size indicates
for most of the loss was sustained by
families of moderate circumstances
and meant the wiping out of all tan-
gible possessions.
Relief work not only proceeded with
celerity in the affected region but col--1
lection of funds to aid the sufferers
went on at an amazing pace.

Student Work
At Camp Davis
In a reportissued late last week,
and (directed to Dean M. 'E. Cooley of !
the Engineering college, work ac-;
complished at Camp Davis on Douglas
lake last summer, is outlined.
Prof. C. T. Johnston, camp director,
speaks highly of the work of the,671

scholastic "ability offers evidence.
During the 1924 summer camp the
percentage of A's given was 10.54,
and of B's 35.62, while during the
year previous, but 5.84 per cent re-
ceived A's and 25.55 per cent B's. At
the same time, the percentage of D's
last year was 7.46 as compared with
8.03 the year before.f

The report also includes detailed}
financial statements, accounts of vai-
ous camp activities, and many large
photographs of the camp.
jIn addition to the student body of
