Officers elected were, Capt. 'A. J. Brace, President; Dr. Jou-volet, Vice-President; Miss Peebles, Secy and Treas.; and Capt. E. C. Wilford, and Mr..H. Openshaw, members of the Executive. Mr, Hewlett, H.B.M. Consul-General, M. A. Bodard, Consul for France, and Mr. Josslyn, U. S$. Consul-General in Chungking, were elected_Honorary Presidents.
