Scared German
Is Coming Back

When the Matson liner Matsonia ar
rtves Tuesday morning II is expected
that ALBERT Guttchen will be aboard.
He left here on the liner February Z,
fearing be would be interned. The
San Francisco Examiner Of February
IL has this yarn about him:
ssAuhert Guttchen came up on the
Mafson liner Matsopia yesterday as
D third-class passenger. He wiz re-
turn 70 Honolulu on the Matsonia
next Wednesday, very much relieved.
when the news OF the breaking
of relations with Germany was tele-
graphed to Honolulu, that port closed
up as tight as q clam Guttchen; Is
by birth a German and he saw little
chance of anything but internment
in Honolulu. So he rushed frantically
TO the Matson Company booking office
and took passage.
When the Matsonia arrived here
yesterday morning Guttchen was as
tonished to find that he was treated
with civilify and was passed with
everybody else aboard the vessel.
"0nce on shore he talked with
friends who told him he was foolish
to have been scared He Immediately
went and booked his way back to

Capt. William Matson for $425, 600
She was to be delivered when she
