200,000 JAPS
BE SHIPPED TO
SOUTH AMERICA
TOKIO.—(Special) — The Nippon
Yusen Kaisha, Japan’s largest
steamship company, has concluded an
agreement with the South American
Emigration union for the transporta
tion of 200,000 Japanese emigrants to
South America within four years
from 1017. The company has also de
cided to open a regular quarterly ser
vice between Japan and South Ameri
ca with ships of about 0,000 tons
each. They will proceed by way of
South Africa, but the homeward
bound route has not yet been selected.
Karon Kondon, president of the
company, which has just declared a
dividend of 2$ per cent, issues a warn
ing that the current shipping boom
will be greatly changed after the war
when all the ships now used as mili
tary transports return to the carry
ing trade. In the meantime he de-;
dared the great increase in the cost
of coal and other necessities would cut
heavily into shipping profits.
During the last six months the
company, which owns 99 steamers and
has ten others under charter, has
transported cargoes npproxunstii

WARNING ISSUED
CONCERNING USE OF
ARMY PROPERTY
The practice of purchasing, when
opportunity affords, supplies or por
tions of the uniforms or other wear
ing apparel from soldiers in the Unit
ed States army, is fraught with great
danger both to the purchaser and
seller. In the Army bill passed at the
bust session of Congress, Sec. 125
specifically provides for the protec
tion of the uniform of the army and
navy as follows:
“It shall be unlawful for any per.
son not an officer or an enlisted man
it: the United States Army, Navy or
Marine Corps to wear the duly pre
scribed uniform of the United States
Army, Navy or Marine corps, or any
distinctive part of such uniform or a
uniform, any part of which is similar
to a distinctive feature of the duly
prescribed uniform of the United
States Army, Navy or Marine Corps.”
Penalties prescribed for violation of
this law are a fine of not exceeding
$:;<)(> or imprisonment of not exceed
ing six months or both.
In addition to the above there is a
law making it a misdemeanor, pun
ishable by fine or imprisonment, both
to buyer or seller, for any person to
purchase from a soldier, sailor or
marine any article of clothing or
wearing apparel issued by the gov
ernment to such soldier, salor or ma
rine.
In Alaska, because soldiers will
sometimes sell articles of wearing ap
part ’ secured from ♦he government at
prices lower than such articles can
b purchased at *ho stores and fre
quently lower than their cost, these
bargains have been eagerly snapped
up. but the practice is likely to be a
costly one if discovered.
