SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.—The Jap
anese-American News, published here.
■ has received the following cable mes
l sage regarding the Japanese attitude
j toward the United States’ entrance in
] to the war.
' “America’s declaration of war to
j chastise German arrogance has been
; deemed by the Japanese people as an
! automatic establishment of a Japun
i
ese-American alliance. Americans
j are welcomed wherever they go and
■ are greeted with cheers. The Ameri
can flag is displayed everywhere.
| The war message of President Wilson
j and the war debates in congress were
j minutely reported and printed in all
i the leading papers of the empire and
i were read with great enthusiasm.
“Especially the passage of Presi
dent Wilson’s message challenging
German bureaucracy, not the German
people, for the defense of the rights
of humanity and civilization and for
the peace of the world was welcomed
with great enthusiasm.”
A cable message to the New World,
a Japanese newspaper, said: “When
extras announced America’s partici
pation in the war a flood of Japanese
officials and leaders went to the Am
erican embassy to express congratu
lations, while the populace surround
ed the embassy and cheered the Amer
ican flag. Charge Post Wheeler, head
of the American embassy, had a long
conference with Foreign Minister
Viscount Motono.”
John R. Noggel of the firm of Lan
man & Kemp, New York chemical
manufacturers, said recently that 2,
000 Chinese soldiers are en route to
France. While he says the Chinese
were all in blue field uniforms with
Khaki overcoats and officered by Chi
nese were all in blue field uniforms I
with khaki overcoats and officered by i
Chinese and 10 British officers, it was
reported they were not to be used in
the line but for agricultural and other
work.
REINDEER FAIR AT
SHAKTALIK BIG SUCCESS,
The reindeer fair at Shaktalik was
attended by about 400 people, repre
senting the elite of St. Michaels. In
dians from the Yukon and Eskimos
from the north, south, east and west,
while the ruddy races were well rep
resented by several different nation
alities.
The events were similar to those
of last year. A friendly rivalry ex
isted between Lapps and Eskimos, the
Eskimos winning in most of the
events. This was owing to the small
number of Lapps who competed, com
pared to the many Eskimos; next year
the Lapps claim it will be different.
Mrs. Clementsen won a blue ribbon
for the best pair of reindeer gloves
and reindeer harness exhibited; her
deer also pulling the biggest load,
3,350 pounds. Many artistic pieces of
sewing were exhibited, all made from
tanned reindeer hide. The primitive
method of starting fire by friction
was illustrated by two Eskimo women
who quickly from three pieces of
wood and a cord produced a spark
which was placed upon small shavings
and when blown upon instantly burst
into flame. The festivities were mar
red by but a single accident, a boy
about 10 years old fell and broke his
leg. Dr. Lamb, from Nulato, who at
tended the fair, took him to the hos
pital at Nulato—Nome Industrial
Worker.
REAL CABBAGE CIGARS.
BERLIN, April 20.—Cigar smokers
in Germany are being prepared for
the worst. The Vossiche Zeitung,
which cheerfully admits that the
“war Havanas” now on sale are filled
with dried cherry leaves, darkly adds
that this substitute for the Cuban
weed, has gone up in price along
with the rest of smokers’ requisites.

MEN CALLED BY
CHICAGO, III.—A number of prom
inent grain people wert> summoned
by the grand jury here Wednesday,
in the beginning of a federal investi
' gation incited by the prevailing price
of wheat and com-. The object of the
inquiry is to determine whether cer
tain large traders 'nave made exten
sive profits hy buying on the board
•within the last few weeks. Those
subpoenaed included large factors and
smaller men suspected of being their
agents. The government believes it
• has information that huge profits
have been made through speculation
since the declaration of a state of
war with Germany and is trying to
run down its leaders.
On the board, it is stated, with au
thority, that, added to the transpor
tation difficulties which have consist
ently operated to put up prices, the
buying of the allied governments has
been tremendous, acting to stimulate
the prices of all commodities. Pres
ent fluctuations, which are wide, will
continue, it is declared, as long as
trading continues at a minimum.
Trading is so small that it is said
that the sale of 10,000 bushels of
wheat today will cause a larger fluc
tuation that the sale of 100,000 or
200,000 bushels would a few weeks
ago.
AGAINST FOOD GAMBLING.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—To prohib
it gambling in foodstuffs, Representa
tive Kelly, of Pennsylvania, has in
troduced a bill into congress which, if
made a law, will place rigid restric
tions upon members of stock ex
changes and boards of trade. The
bill, which is not distinctly a war
measure, may, members of congress
believe, be passed at this session of
congress, because of the emergency
in the food situation, which has al
ready become one of the1 war prob
lems before congress. It has been re
ferred to the committe on post roads
and post offices.
After defining the terms “food
stuffs” and “securities,” the bill pro
vides that no person shall be allowed
both to buy and sell foodstuffs upon
any exchange. It provides that no
dealings in foodstuffs may be done in
exchanges and on boards which do not
strictly comply with regulations of
the post office department in keeping 1
full, accurate and complete records of
every transaction. It also declares it
illegal to pretend a sale with the in
tent of recording a quotation or price.
The following transactions in food
stuffs and securities are prohibited
Washed, or fictitious sales, and mar
gin sales where there is no intent ac
tually to purchase or deliver. If set
tlements are made without the com
pletion of the purchase or sale of the
foodstuffs, this shall be prima facie
evidence of violation of the law.
Violation of the rules and provi
sions will cause expulsion from
boards and exchanges, and the inflic
tion of other penalties.
BARTLETT WITH AMUNDSEN.
NOME.—Dr. D. S. Neuman receiv
ed word that Captain Amundsen who
is now planning his north polar expe
dition, has engaged Captain Bartlett
for his service. The expedition will
start from San Francisco in 1918 and
will endeavor to locate the pole,
which has already been discovered by
Peary and alleged to have been found
by Dr. Cook. Bartlett is now in com
mand of one of the Pacific Steamship
Co.’s boats but will doubtless be ready
to relinquish his command for the
Arctic trip.

STERNBERG INDICTED
AS WOMAN’S SLAYER
NEW V OUK, April 18.— Benjamin
Sternberg, “tango pirate,” in an in
dictment is charged with the murder
of Mrs. Elsie Lee Hilair, who was
strangled three weeks ago in a room
in the Martinique hotel.
In connection with the investigation
of the strangling of Mrs. Hilair the
police are taking a census of “tango
pirates”—men who make a practice
of meeting women, especially married
women, in dancing places and extort
ing money from them.
Of seventy-six names already ob- i
tained, it is said, investigations show
that nearly 50 of the “dancing men”
are former convicts. Two of them
have been released from prison with
in the last year, District Attorney
Swann said, after serving terms for
attacking and blackmailing women.
No arrests are being made, but the
names obtained by the police will be
filed for future reference.
GEN. GOETHALS TO
BUILD FREIGHT SHIPS
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Majs-Gen.
George Goethals, builder of the Pan
ama canal, has been formally re
quested by President Wilson to take
charge of the building of 1,000 wood
en ships for foreign commerce.
Increase of overseas tonnage is re
garded as an imperative need to de
feat the German submarine campaigo
and keep up the flow of supplies to
the entente allies, consequently the
greatest importance is attached to the
plans of the shipping board for build
ing wooden ships, which have been
approved by the president and the
council of national defense. The en
tire resources of available shipbuild
ing yards are to be used for the pur
pose. /
The shipping board has .$50,000,000
at its disposal for the construction
and purchase of vessels and it is esti
mated that, beginning early this fall,
ships at the rate of 200,000 tons a
month can be turned out.
