SIR: I have the honor to rcport as follows concerning the opera- tions of this office filom November 1, 1900, to the above date: The work of tabullating the rctnrns :lncl rcsnlts of tho fielcl tvorl: of the en~~meratorskind special agcnts of the Twelfth Ccusus h,zs pro lcssecl with reasonable celerity, Much difficulty has been expericnccca;" ,how- ever, and nlore or lesd delay caluseci by the reduction of the clerical force, owing to the absence of elnployees from either illness or nnnut~l leave. The law providcs that the four principal reports shdl be placed in the hands of the public by the 1st of July, 1902, and this requircxnent has rendered it absolutely necessary to maintain a clerical force ELC~C- qunte to complete the work vithin the prescribecl period. The stat- isticians made estimates of the time ncecled to finish the pnrticular branch assigned Lo each of them. The plr~nsso suhmittecl bavc heen greatly interfered with owing to the absence of clerlrs fro111 di~ty,ns explained above. It was hoped by the 1st of November a lnr e nuin- ber of employees could be dis ~ensoclwith; but inasmuch us t!? e wozk has been retarclcd, owing to tb e dificulty of rna;intai,ining the clerical force at its rnaxitnuui, it is not likely thnt there will be any Inaterial reduction until after the first of the year. The ofi8iciaIs of the office believe that their allotted task mill be completecl in alnple time. 1t was harclly to be expected , out of the large number of ageti ts employed in the field wol+lc-about 55,000 in all-that therc wonld not be some who woulcl prove incompetent and, unfaithful to duty.

    "The Lost Years"—1902-1904 ROLF E. PETERS and MARY ANN CHANCE ABSTRACT: Cyrus Lerner, an investigative lawyer, produced a report on chiropractic that identified the period of 1902-1904 as "The Lost Years" of chiropractic. This paper is an attempt to fill in that period based on later published research and our own investigations. INDEXTERMSiMeSH: CHIROPRACTIC; HISTORICAL ARTICLE. Chiropr J Aust 2003; 33: 2-10. INTRODUCTION Clarence N. Flick, DC, of St Albans, NY established the Thus the D.D.

The Foundation believed that to leave for Califomia in 1902, apparently not giving any 36 years of failed efforts to achieve licensure for the profession reason. in the state of New York were due to the difficult-to-challenge perception that the chiropractic claim was without scientific B.J.

    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

    Boers (Bitter-Enders) Who Continued to Fight On

    Boers (bitter-enders) who continued to fight on. They were finding it harder to get food, ammunition and clothing. It had reached a stage where the Boer commandos were taking the uniforms from captured British soldiers and wearing them, minus their insignia and military trappings. The last stages of the conflict became a war of attrition which the Boers could not hope to win'. Several of the Boer prisoners captured in 1900 were men of some influence. Even though they had taken part in the fighting, some of them knew that the war could not be won. With the encouragement of Gen. Kitchener, they formed themselves into The abortive peace conference at Middelburg in Transvaal on 28 February, 1901. the Burghers Peace Committee and (Front row, left to right) de Wet, Botha, Lord Kitchener, and Major-General Sir discussed ways of ending the war.

    Presentations Race, nation, and Empire Australian attitudes to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, 1902–23 Steven Bullard Introduction The story of Australia’s attitude to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance from 1902 to 1923 is one filled with uncertainty and contradiction. On the one hand, the alliance provided a guarantee of security for the new nation, as demonstrated, for instance, in the actions of the Japanese Navy as an alliance partner during the First World War. But for much of the period in question, many in the Australian government, the military, and the broader public considered their alliance partner to be the main threat to the future peace and freedom of the country. Compounding the uncertainty many in Australia felt with regard to Japanese intentions was the unflinching efforts of the Government to ensure the dominance of the British race in this far-flung corner of the Empire. This was nowhere more evident than in Australia’s restrictive immigration practices – the so-called White Australia policy. For this reason, this paper examines the history of Australia’s attitudes to the Anglo- Japanese Alliance through the lens of the interconnected issues of race, nation and empire. On 1 January 1901, the separate colonies of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia federated to form the Commonwealth of Australia. Assisted immigration policies that favoured the “mother country” over much of the previous century meant that the majority of Australians in 1901 had familial ties to the British Isles. An historian writing in the pre-World War II era noted that while Australians might have described themselves as ‘independent Australian Britons … among the Australians pride of race counted for more than love of country’.1 Even with these imperial attachments to the mother country, Australians had realised by the turn of the Twentieth Century that they had a set of vital interests different to Britain.

The symposium was arranged by the Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines in association with the Japan Society, London. The period of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance covered three treaties of alliance. The first treaty was signed on 30 January 1902 and was intended to last for five years. But the Russo-Japanese War intervened; and the second treaty, a radically different treaty, was signed on 12 August 1905, before the treaty of peace between Japan and Russia was concluded. The alliance was revised again in the light of changing world circumstances. The third treaty was signed on 13 July 1911 and lasted until 17 August 1923 when it was formally replaced. It was the intention of the present symposium to reexamine the first decade of the alliance. The allliance which spanned the Russo-Japanese War and the First World War and covered the first quarter of the twentieth century has been in need of reassessment for some time.

    History of FOOTBALL World Cup History of FOOTBALL World Cup The FIFA World Cup was first held in 1930, when FIFA president Jules Rimet decided to stage an international football tournament. The inaugural edition, held in 1930, was contested as a final tournament of only thirteen teams invited by the organization. Since then, the World Cup has experienced successive expansions and format remodeling to its current 32-team final tournament preceded by a two-year qualifying process, involving over 200 teams from around the world. The first official international football match was played in 1872 in Glasgow between Scotland and England, although at this stage the sport was rarely played outside Great Britain. By 1900, however, football had gained ground all around the world and national football associations were being founded. The first official international match outside the British Isles was played between Uruguay and Argentina in Montevideo in July 1902. FIFA was founded in Paris on 22 May 1904 – comprising football associations from France, Belgium (the preceding two teams having played their first international against each other earlier in the month), Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, with Germany pledging to join. FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) is the international governing body of association football, futsal and beach soccer. It is one of the world's oldest and largest NGOs, being founded on 21 May 1904. It has since expanded to include 209 member associations. President of FIFA - Gianni Infantino of Switzerland / Italy from 2016 to at present. General Secretary - Fatma Samoura of Senegal from 2016 to at present.
