PRO-GERMAN TRYING
TO GET BACK AGAIN
HONOLULU.—Frank Schurmann,
who was stripped of his American
citizenship by United States District
Judge Horace W. Vaughan recently
after a sensational trial in which
Schurmann was accused of violent
pro-Germanism by many witnesses,
is preparing to appeal to the Ninth
circuit court of appeals in San
Francisco.
JAPS AND FILIPINOS
RESTING ON LAURELS
HONOLULU.—Reports from the
outlying islands indicate that at
least 75 per cent of the 36000 men
recently discharged from the army
here are still idle, spending their
savings in the small towns before
returning to the sugar plantations
to work. Nearly all of the men
are Japanese and Filipinos. Tin,
sugar planters have been short of
labor since the selective service act
went into effect.

DICK MORRIS IS
[HAVING TROUBLE
TO REACH WALES
On the last mail the News re
ceived a clipping from the Seattle
P. I. of March 1, containing an
account of the difficulties met with
by Dick Morris, our local townsman,
in getting a passport to go to Wales
to claim his bride. The article,
which is also embellished with Dick’s
photograph, is as follows:
“Is marriage a necessity, and is
it an urgent piece of business.
“This question has been pub
squarely up to the state depart
ment by R. C. Morris, a merchant
of Nenana, Alaska, and former
champion bicycle rider of the Pa
cific coast and he is anxiously
awaiting the decision of the gov
ernment upon it, for upon the an
swer depends his life’s happiness
and that of Miss Luned Lewis, of
Merionetshire, Wales, he says.
“On Friady perhaps an unlucky
day—Mr. Morris appeared before
F. M. Harschberger, clerk of the
United States district court, and
made application for a passport to
permit him to go to Wales to claim
a bride. The regulations of the
government provide that no one
shall be permitted to go to Europe
except on “necessary and urgent”
business, and the clerk of the court
could not say whether marriage
is “necessary and urgent” business.
“There is no doubt in the mind
of the applicant that it is necessary
and very urgent business, he says,
because the tying of the nupital
knot has already been delayed four
years because of the war and un
less a ruling is made in his favor,
Mr. Morris intends to start a small
sized war of his own. Any time
he is ready to make a trip of some
18,000 miles to Wales and back to
Interior Alaska to get married, he
urges there should be no doubt in
the mind of any one as to the need
or urgency of the trip.
“Another reason why he believes
it is imperative to go at this time
is that he has not seen his bride-to
be for thirteen years when he last
made a trip to Wales. During those
years of waiting he has been in
Alaska building up his fortune,
which, he says is now taking on
substantial proportions.
“Armed with letters of introduc
tion to Congressman John F. Miller
and others at Washington he will
leave for the East on Monday, and
intends to camp there steadily until
his application for passport is
granted.
“The Alaskan and his fiance had
intended to marry several years ago,
but, believing that Morris might be
wanted for military service they
postponed the date. He offered
to enlist in the army but could not
get in, and then when he tried to
secure permission for the young
lady of his choice to come to
Amesica she could not secure pass
age on any of the boats. Then he
determined to go to Wales to bring
her back with him.
“Starting from his home In Ne
nana on February 5, he arrived in
Seattle Thursday, having made the
trip by dog team rail and water,
consuming a month on the way.
This is but the first lap of the long
journey; the second of 3,000 miles,
to Washington will be started Mon
day, and the final lap of 3,000
miles across the Atlantic will com
mence as soon as the state depart
ment says that marriage is a “nec
essary and urgent” business says
the Alaskan.
“Twenty years ago Mr. Morris
came to Seattle when a boy. He re
sided here several years at a time,
holding the short-distance bicycle
raPifig record for the Pacific coast.
“He recalls those good old days
and some of the men with whom he
used to race. There was Julius Mil
haus, who died in San Francisco
a few years ago; Frank Cotter, for
merly of Olympia now a prominent
merchant of Seward Alaska; Cooper
Harold, who was killed in an auto
mobile accident at Vancouver B. C.
about two years ago; and the Hall
brothers Virgil, Dick and Charles,
now scenic painters of Seattle.
“Those races of by-gone days
, were exciting, but they were noth
! ing compared to the race that he
i >s now making to get back to the
old home in Merionetshire, Wales,
to bring to a happy consummation
a romance begun more than thir
teen years ago, says Morris.”
COBLENZ.—How it feels to be
exhibited in Germany will be told
when Joseph Brown and Charles
Knowlton, both of the 165th In
fantry, get back to New York where
they lived before the war.
Both have rejoined their regi
ment after imprisonment in Ger
many since May 5, when a patrol
they were in went out in search
of Germans who were needed for
information they might give. The
patrol got the Germans but the
German army got Brown and Knowl
ton and until recently the 165th
Infantry knew nothing more about
them. Both had come through
the German lines after the armis
tice.
After the German intelligence
officer had despaired of getting
from them any accurate information
about the Americans, both men
were sent out on a tour of Ger
many. In city after city they were
exhibited as specimens of the new
enemy. To make them appear as
excellent examples of the weaklings
the Germans had told their people
the Americans were, they said they
were half starved and otherwise
brutally treated for a month or
more when they were thrown into
an ordinary prison camp, remaining
there until the end of the war.
FAIRBANKS HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Shortly before noon yesterday,
the Fairbanks fire department made
a quick trip in response to a fire
alarm from a house occupied by
Lola Belmont on Fourth avenue.
The fire, the origin of which is not
known, had gained much headway
and very good work by the fire
men prevented a spread of the
flames to nearby houses. The house
was totally destroyed.
