HONOLULU.—K. Matsumoto, a
wealthy Japanese resident of this
city, is in Japan negotiating for the
purchase of four small schooners
and a steamer which he plans to
operate out here in the South Sea
trade. It is understood that local
Japanese businessmen and capital
ists of Japan are backing the pro
ject, which will require several
hundred thousand dollars. ,,
It is planned to carry supplies
I to the South Sea Islands from Hono

TO SELL HORSES
j LONDON.—-Owing to the lack of
ships to bring them to England,
100,000 horses and mules of the
British army in the Eastern theater
of the war are to be sold to the
Arabs or destroyed That announce
ment has been made by Major-Gen
eral Sir W. H. Birbeek, director of
remounts. He has also stated that,
of the British army’s total of 750,
000 horses in Europe, a large num
ber of which were purchased in the
United States—only those that are
sound and under twelve years old
will be shipped here.
I About 125,000 war horses are to
[ be brought to England, and Belgium
is to have 50,000 for reconstruction
work. General Birkbeck said: “We'
want to distribute Ihcm all over the
country by big sales, in cities up
to 100 animals, and to smaller
towns up to twenty-five. There is
an unaccountable prejudice against
mules in this country. At present
we h ve in England about 10,000
mule ■ any of which we want to
sell, but people don’t seem inclined
to buy them. The mule is an
economical animal which does not
cat so much as a hur: e, and for
every horse that goes sick, less than '
half a mule is sick.”
Look out for the darky minstrels 1

PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
WORKING AT TANANA
Some little time ago Nenana ad- j
| yertisements were solicited for the |
j moving picture show at the Post
! Exchange, at Fort Gibbon, and ac
cordingly, several business houses
j of this town gave instructions for
! the necessary slides to be made at
| the army town and shown at the
picture show at the Post Exchange.
The following notes in apprecia
tion of the help given by Nenana
will be of interest to the News’
I readers.
Fort Gibbon, Feb. 13, 1919
“The workers for the welfare of
the Post Exchange moving picture
show are being rewarded for their
eforts through the sincere interest
and appreciation shown by the large
public attendance.
“The Nenana advertising slides,
which were prepared by a local com
petent slide maker, proved beyond
a doubt they will be successful in |
their mission.
Great enthusiasm was shown by
the military faction, in which are a
number of former Nenana residents,
evidence was given of warm spots
in their hearts for the place to
which they are soon to return in the
manner of great applause when the
Nenana slides were shown.”

OLD PAPERS FOR SALE AT

LADIES
I
At a largely attended meeting
held on Wednesday night at the
home of Mrs. Frederick D. Browne,
two auction bridge clubs were
formed of sixteen members each,
! and an organization selected to mau
! age its affairs.
] Mrs. R. G. Southworth was un
animously elected to have entire
charge of the clubs and will make
i the arrangements and also announce
the places of meeting of the clubs
from time to time.
The revenue to be derived from
! these bridge clubs is to be applied
to the French Orphan fund, which
j is sadly in need of aid, pecuniary
and otherwise.
I With the curtailment of Red Cross
(activities insofar as knitting for the
| soldiers is concerned, the patriotic
j lades of this thriving to" n felt that
they must turn their energies into
some other worthy channel, with the
result that the Tuesday Bridge club
and the Friday Bridge club were
duly organized.
The meeting came to an end
rather late in the evening, and the
ladies adjourned, en masse, to the
j Tavern Cafe, where they celebrated
the forming of the clubs in a
luncheon.
The Friday Bridge club will hold
its first session at the home of Mrs.
R. G. outhworth tonight, commenc
ing at eight o’clock.
The date and place of meeting
of the Tuesday club will be an
nounced later.
CORFU—If William Hohenzollern
the former emperor of Germany,
should try to spend the remnant
of his career on the Island of Corfu,
as some recent reports indicated, he
would not be received by the natives
with any great show of hospitality
or cordially. The villa here which
he last occupied in the summer of
1014, and which he owned, is now
used as a military hospital and floats
the French flag. Even the especially
buit dock on which he was accust
omed to land is now used for mili
tary purposes.
The Greek and Serbian population '
many of whom are refugees, realize
well the misery and suffering that
Hohenzollern caused the world and <
are in no mood to receive him even
. . I
as a temporary visitor.
Achillion Palace, his villa, stands
high up on the rocky coast of Corfu
amid a wealth of cypress trees and 1
overlooks the picturesque Ionian
Sea. The snow-capped mountains of
Albania are only a short distance 1
away. The villa has been occupied
lately by a number of disabled !
Allied soldiers, including an Ameri- 1
can sailor from Brooklyn. When ^
the Associated Press correspondent
visiFcd it the other day, the funei|il '
of a United States naval officer, i
Ensign Young, of Detroit, Michigan, i
who died of pneumonia contracted I
while on duty, was being held just
outside the villa gates and the
simple casket, draped with the Stars
and Stripes, was being lowered in ,
its resting place on the sunlit side
of the sloping mountain.
