TOKIO.—The project of laying ■
another submarine cable line be-:
tween Japan and the United States ;
as a private enterprise, with a view
to facilitating and improving the
telegraphic communications between ;
the two countries, is reported to be
making headway. The plan is said
to have secured the warm support
of Japanese government authorities
and of over thirty influential busi
nessmen who are expected to finance
the undertaking.
The organization committee, head
ed by Kakichi Uchida, former vice
minister of communications; Baron
Nakajima and Baron Shibusawa, has
entrusted the investigation of tech
nical matters to the experts of the
communications department, profes
sors of the imperial university and
engineers of the navy.

gested and investigations are being
made as to which route is the most
available. One proposed route wouid
land at Vancouver, the other three
, routes at San Francisco. Two of
| the proposed routes would touch
Honolulu.
The investigators say that the
| number of words handled on the
Pacific cable during the past few
'years shows a yearly proportionate
| increase of about 35 per cent,
i About five million words were car
ried in 1918.
OSTEND RESUMING
PEACE-TIME WAYS
OSTEXD, Belgium—After nearly
| five years of war, Ostend is resum
I ing ordinary life as far as possible
i under present conditions, with the
j reopening of the famous casino. A
| few months ago the great salons of
| the casino were a scene of devasta
tion and wanton destruction. The
buildings escaped the bombardment
| that transformed so many of the
(beautiful hotels and villas along the
Digue into heaps of rubble, and the
use of nine tons of glass has re
paired all the damage thus occa
. sioned. but the Germans had plun
dered and defiled the salons.
Every stick of furniture was tak
en away, beautiful tapestries were
slashed and torn by German bayo
nets and every mirror in the halls
was removed, together with the cop
per candelabra in the salons and
the beautiful copper staircase. No:
content with robbery, the German;
left the whole place in a state thal
would have shamed any animal in
habiting a stable. But since ther
a miracle has been wrought, and bu'
for the fact that some of the mor;
valuable fittings are at present onl.
temporarily replaced by imitations
there is no evidence of the war s<
far as the casino is concerned.

OPEN SALOONS
MAY RETURN 10
EL PASO, Tex.-»-Bootlegging has
assumed widespread proportions in
Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico, across
the border from Douglas, Arizona,
according: to Americans who have
investigated liquor conditions in the
border state. Open saloons are pro
hibited by Sonora state laws, but
little or no effort has been made by
the authorities to curtail illicit liquor
traffic, they say.
Cognizance of the situation has
been taken by the authorities, how
ever to the extent that a bill has
been introduced in the state cham
ber of deputies permitting the es
tablishment of open saloons for the
isale of light wines and beer under
strict state supervision. The bill
purposes limiting the number of sa
loons in accordance with population
and the payment of high state and
municipal licenses.
Well-informed Mexicans believe
that saloons will return under the
proposed new law, as they contend
that, while General P. Elias Calles.
military governor of Sonora, is an
advocate of prohibition, he would
much prefer the legalizing of the
liquor traffic, with the consequent
revenue, to combating the increas
ing number of bootleggers.
The liquor situation in Agua Pri
eta is a troublesome one to the
better class of Sonora Mexicans and
residents of Douglas and other bor
der towns. It is pointed out that
Agua Prieta offers easy access to
anyone in Douglas who desires to
obtain liquor. At the present time,
certain Mexicans with a great show
of friendship invite Americans to
cross the line to visit the bootleg
gers.
The Mexican policemen watch all
visitors closely, and, it is reported,
make a practice of arresting Am
’ ericans when their conduct become;
; boisterous and robbing them of then
money and other valuables. Shoul i
1 the Americans protest, there is al
ways the alternative of a real ar
rest and a prison sentence or a
heavy fine. Some observers hen
• say the reopening of the saloons wil
5 do much toward making a bad situ
ation worse.

U. S. TO GO ON
TIPLESS BASIS
CHICAGO.—With the going out j
of intoxicating liquor, the country
is also likely to go on a “tipless"
basis, according to A. C. Stephens,
president of the Ohio Hotel associ- ,
ation, who is in Chicago arranging
for the convention of his associa
tion to be held in connection with j |
the Hotel Show here during the
week of August 4th.
“I think the day of tips is over."
said Mr. Stephens. “With the Euro
pean source of supply practically cut
off, it is hard to get waiters. So
the hotels have been more and more
carefully considering mechanical de
vices to take the place of servants.
“It is surprising to note how
many really good hotels have in
stalled cafeterias. I predict that
more of them will do so. The cafe
teria. as you know, is a strictly i
j tipless institution. Even in dining
rooms where there is service, the
movement toward doing away with
waiters is making rapid strides.
There are all sorts of mechanical
devices for this purpose. A mechan
ical system for checking hats and
wraps has already been devised and.
I am sure, will soon come into gen
eral use.
“With the going out of liquor and
the curtailing of tips in consequence
'of this, waiters will be asking a I
wage scale two or three times as
great as the present one, and the
hotel men simply can’t afford to
pay it.”

i GETS fl SURPRISE
Th presence of Dr. David H.
More among those attending the
■ show at the Coliseum last nieht was
■ taken advantage of by his many
. friends and admirers to present him
• with a gold watch, as a token of
: their high regard for him.
The presentation was made by
Robert Joseph Diven, in a few well
i chosen words, to which the doctor
found it difficult to respond. His
■ voice almost failed him.
The gift is a splendid timepiece,
thin model, solid gold case and a
Howard movement of the highest j
>.' grade. ,
i' The doctor was remembered by
' the hospital staff also, their gift to
the retiring chief surgeon being an
i
artisticallv-made watch chain, fash
ioned with alternate links of old
ivory and gold nuggets. It was
made in Nenana by William Taylor,
the local jeweler.
Dr. More resigned his position as
chief surgeon of the Commission
hospital some time ago. and plans
to leave for the States on the
steamer Yukon, accompanied by Mrs.
More and their son Charles.
