DRIVING CLUB PUNS
ARE BEING DRAWN
The plans for the new home of the
Piedmont Driving Club are being
drawn by Architect G. L. Norman. The
design of the, new building has not
been definitely decided upon, but .lt will
probably be built of stone, and will be
much handsomer and more commod
ious than the old building, which was
destroyed by fire some time ago.
No estimate of the coat ran be ob
tained as yet, as that will depend
largely upon the material uaed In tha
exterior construction, whether marble,
gruntte or sandstone. Milton Dargan
Is president of the club and at tha
head of the building committee.

Manila, July 16.—Major Gen
eral Wood, In command of the
Phllpplnes division, said today
that he had no doubt that the
fighting would soon be over, ex
pressing confidence In the abil
ity of the Eighth Infantry to
quiet the Pulajsnes. He said
there would be no lack of troops
In Leyte while there were any
Indications of trouble. Other of
ficers said they were not so
sure the Pulajanet would not
keep up the fighting In the hope
that the tribe* In Samar would
break out In sympathy.
Governor General Ide has ap
pealed to the military authori
ties for a larger forco of regu
lars In Leyte, and the Eighth
Infantry was dispatched at once
for Iloilo and an additional de
tachment of the Twenty-fourth
woe sent from Camp Bumpus.
Governor Omena reports that
there are no more outlaw bands
and that the Island Is complete
ly pacified.
Students of Philippine affairs
among the civil authorities have
aald that they attribute the aud-
den breaking out of the fanatic
bands to the arrest and capture
of so many of the old leaders
within the past few weeks.
