SAN FRANCISCO
NOW AROUND
WORLD PORT
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20 (by As
sociated Press).—Freight steamer ser
H vice around the world, the invasion
of the ti’ans-Pacific trade by 400,
000 tons of shipping board vessels
operated by private concerns, new
lines to Europe, a regular cargo route
via the Panama canal to Baltimore,
additional freight steamers to the
west coast of South America and the
delivery of Pacific coast products di
rect by water to the River Plate by
a line circling South America are
among the freight traffic develop
ments of the port of San Francisco
since the war.
Although the Japanese and Chinese
^ lines are the only ones who have
added greatly to their passenger ser
vice to the Far East as yet, Amer
ican concerns expect to make tour
ist travel on the Pacific more popu
lar than ever before when the United
States shipping board delivers the
twelve 535-foot liners now under con
struction. They have been allocated
ajjteady and delivery in the next
eighteen months is promised.
The increased buying power of
Japan, China and other countries in
the Far East is pointed to by shipping
men as one of the main reasons for
the growth of steamship traffic out
of San Francisco. Machinery, canned
goods, and various manufactured pro
ducts are in greater demand than
^ ever before, requiring more tonnage
than ever was thought of before the
war
In its turn the Far East is sending
vegetable oils in enormous quantities
to this country, and vegetable oil
tanks are an important feature of
the San Francisco waterfront facil
ities. Increased sugar productions in
the Hawaiian islands and the rapid
growth of the pineapple industry are
attributed as reasons for more ships
being placed on the San Francisco
Honolulu run.
The “round-the-world” service from
V San Francisco operated by the Pa
cific Mail, was begun with three
freighters within the last year. The
Pacific Mail and the Robert Dollar
Company also reach nearly halfway
around the globe with their feeder
service to the five vessels which de
liver cargo from the trans-Pacific
carriers to the East Indies, Straits
Settlements and India itself. Struth
ers and Dixon, a part of the Green
Star Steamship Corporation, are new
extensive operators in the Far East,
having eight shipping board freighters
working out of San Francisco. The
Robert Dollar Company has five,
while the Toyo Risen Raiska and
the China Mail, owned by Japanese
and Chinese capital, have four and
three passenger-and-freight steamers
respectively. Two other Japanese
concerns. Mitsui and the Trans
oceanic company, operate occasional
tramp steamers in the trans-Pacific
trar^
No great development in traffic to
Australia, New Zealand or the Dutch
East Indies is reported, although the
General Steamship Company with
tAvo vessels is a neAV competitor to the
established lines, namely, Australian
Dispatch Line 1, and Java-Pacific 4.
The chief benefit of the Panama
Canal to San Francisco so far, ac
cording to shipping men, has been
the direct water communication Avith
the Atlantic coast and Europe. The
Pacific Mail, Avith five freighters on
the Baltimore run and the Robert
Dollar Company with one to New
York already have made use of the
canal, and the United States Steel
Products company, a subsidiarv of
the U. S. Steel Corporation has an
nounced that it expects to start a
dozen or more vessels running be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Williams Dimond and Company
jire opening a European service by
way of the Atlantic coast ports.
Cuba also is becoming a market
for Pacific coast products, the Gen
eral Steamship Company and the
Japanese Osaka Shosen Kaisha line
having made Havana a port of call
for their freighters.
Two motorship lines of three ves
sels apiece, the Norway-Pacific and
the Johnson, the latter a neAV Swedish
concern, the East Asiatic Company’s
two motorships and the three steam
ers of E. C. Evans and Company,
oci vc iuuiupcan pui to.
The first around South America
freight service from San Francisco
is being started by Swayne and
Hoyt. This concern has four ship
ping board freighters which will go
via the Straits ^of Mageiian to Buenos
Aires and Montevideo, picking up Ar
gentine products, and Brazilian ex
ports like Santos coffee for the re
turn trip via the Panama canal.
^ W. R. Grace and Company operate
the largest merchant fleet to South
America, having six or eight steamers
i
in the service. The Rolfe Mail
with three ships, the General Steam
ship Company with four and the
Pacific Motorship Corporation are
new concerns invading the west coast
trade. Mexico, Central America and
Panama are served by these lines and
by the freight-and-passenger steam
ers of the Pacific Mail and the ves
sels of the Pacific Steamship Com
pany and the Pan-American line.
AVIATOR HOPES
REACH HEIGHT
OF SEVEN MILES
PARIS, July 20 (by Associated
Press).—Jean Casale, who established
an airplane flight for height record
June 14, 1919, when he mounted 9,520
meters (of 39.37 inches), has satisfied
himself by a laboratory test that he
may safely attempt to reach his an
nounced goal of 12,000 meters, or
seven and a fifth miles.
Casale spent more than an hour in
a hermetically sealed cabinet equipped
with air-density and other scientific
instruments. Casale controlled the
exhausting of the air and the admis
sion of compressed oxygen through a
form of gas mask.
The atmosphere was reduced to the
equivalent of the pressure at the
12,000 meter height in 47 minutes and
30 seconds and normal atmospheric
pressure was restored in 20 minutes.
The aviator said he experienced cold
and a sense of uneasiness. At one
time he closed his eyes but found it
accentuated his dizziness. During
most of the experiment he kept his
ears stopped.

CHAPLIN AGAIN TONIGHT
WITH DOROTHY DALTON
BILLED FOR TOMORROW
“Sunnyside,” another of the three
reel Charlie Chaplin comedies, is re
peating for the last time tonight. It’s
a typical Chaplin abounding in broad
farce, slap stick, and with all, a
quaint humor and occasional hint
even of pathos. Not as riotous as
some that we have seen, but a steady
succession of smiles and laughter.
“Hell’s End,” the five-reel drama
completing the program isn’t hellish
after all, hut the very descriptive
name of a tough section of, well any
large city, and William Desmond
makes a very acceptable young gang
ster, with the “makings” of a real
man.
Tomorrow night one of our prime
favorites, Dorothy Dalton in “Other
Men’s Wives.” A child of luxury,
brought up to want for nothing, visit
ing wealthy friends, and finds her
self a catspaw, unwillingly aiding an
unworthy end. How she turns the
tables, scratches the wrong way, and
beats a man and woman' at their own
game makes a story that’s appealing,
interesting and intensely dramatic.

CHURCHILL I
EXCORIATES
LENINEISt
I
LONDON, July 20 (by Associated
Press).—The Russian Soviet govern
ment, through Nikolai Lenine, seeks
“to start the British nation off on
that same career of revolutionary vio
lence which has made Russia such a
jolly place to live in,” Winston
Churchill, minister of war, declared
in an article published in the Evening
News, answering a report by a Brit
ish labor delegation which visited
Russia and a letter directed to the
British people by Lenine.
Should the soviet system be estab
lished in England the War Minister
believes that not only would free
dom of thought be swept away but
the English labor leaders themselves
would “share the fate of Kerensky,
; the Menshiviks and social revolu
i tionairies in Russia.”
The war minister charged Lenine
: with having ruined his own country
and said it was natural he should
' wish “to have all nations reduced
; to the same level of misery, in order
that his own carnage may be covered
in the general chaos.” wrote Mr.
Churchill.
“Russia was on the threshold of vic
tory,” he says, “after all her strug
gles she was within reach of the goal
j and the Germans sent in Lenine as
: poison gas is sent sealed in a cylin
| der and he robbed her of the victory
i that she had all but won and which
| she might have shared with us.
i “A million Germans, released by
: his act of treachery, were let loose
| on the French and British fronts
; and nearly that number of French
! and British soldiers are dead or mu
tilated in consequence. Instead of
i victory he gave Russia shame and im
j measurable disaster.
! “Lenine destroyed the Russian re
public. He dissolved the Russian par
I liament. He Ihad the bulk of its
members hunted down and killed. He
has robbed his country of victory,
peace and freedom; and what has he
given them in exchange?
“Russia, the great food producing
center of the world racked ith
S ftimine; the towns depopulated to half
; their numbers; the workmen scat
tered,, destroyed and the rest coed
! or demoralized; hundreds of thou
; sands of people driven to the woods
' and mountains to form ‘Green Guards
i like Robin Hood in the middle ages;
the railways on which the whole eco
: nomic civilization of these great re
I gions depend, sinking hopelessly in
i’ to absolute stagnation.
“Only the peasant with his rifle in
| his village guards the hard-won pro
i duce of his individual toil, refuses
• to sell the fruits of his labor for
i worthless paper money and keeps
; alive the old Russian love of hearth
| and home. ‘The egoism of the peas
ant,’ says Lenine, ‘must be broken.’
i “This, then, is the man whom the
; crazy portion of the Socialist party
has been worshipping. He has now
| revealed his measure and his mental
ity to the British public and he an
! peals to them to create in Britain
; that enslaved, infected, starving and
| venomous Bedlem to which he has re
duced the noble and might of Rus
sian state and nation.”
YOUNG JAPS PLEDGE
j FEALTY TO UNCLE SAM
HONOLULU, July 20 (by Associated
i Press).—At the first public meeting
of the new Society of American Cit
izens of Japanese Descent, twenty
young men of Japanese parentage took

J United States. Considerable enthusi
| asm was aroused by the announce
ment that young Japanese women
j would be received as members of the
| society on an equal footing with the
| men. The new organization was
I fathered by the Hawaiian department
i of the American Legion.
