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- tor': The Chilian and Peruvian Relief Work Progresses Rapidly In Area Devastated By Tornado Chicago, March 23.-(By A.

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 student surveyors, and for their 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 "Two sessions were held during the summers of 1921, '22, and '23, while but one was necessary in 1924" due to increased facilities afforded by they camp. 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 67, the teaching staff numbered 20, in- cluding Professors Johnston, C. O.! Carey, Hugh Brodie, Harry Bouchard, T. J. Mitchell, three instructors, one teaching assistant, eight student as- sistants, the instrument keeper, and Doctors Warren E. Forsythe and E. W. Sink, camp physicians. Preparations are already being made for this summer's camp which will be attended by approximately the same number as in 1924. Professor Johnston will again serve as director. i it i i .t i } I I J (i1 I it ( i sven suerh inside iormation as "en-I aged" or "chronically unattached" "The only solution of the Russian was published.
