MYSTERIOUS CRAFT

NEW YORK. Feb 1.-THE Germans
have established a base for sub
marines and raiders on the Island of
Menalaos, twenty-five miles up the
Amazon river, according to passeng-
ers who arrived yesterday on the
Sergipe, of the Lloyd Braziliero line
from PernambucO and Para. They
said that it was common gossip in
the northern seaports of Brazil that
the Germans had several bases on
the Amazon, the most important at
Menalaos.
As early as 1911 the Germans
utilized Menalaos as a base for trad
ing with the savage tribes up the
river, they explained. The mouth of
the Amazon is dotted with thousands
of islands. any one of which could
be used to excellent advantage as a
base for a foreign government
Menalaos is fifteen miles long and
eight miles wide. and offers excellent
harbor facilities for light draft yes

a bulky nature, according to the
pilots and were handled with excess

fore the outbreak of the war in Eu-

Regretable Errors

In the hurry incident to the
tabulation of the list of Red
Cross donations for last weeks
issue of The Home News four
regretted mistakes were made.
The donation of Mr.. T. N. Tay-
lor was printed $1,000, when it
should have been $4,000. The
donations of Mr.. G. w. Barber,
$500, and Miss Katie Braun,
$1.00, were omitted entirely.
ST. Johns Baptist church (col-
ored) was credited with dona-
tons amounting to $1,000, when
$500 of that amount should have
been credited to the A. M. E.
church.
We were unable to procure a
complete list of individual colored
donors, other than those who
contributed independently of
their church organizations, which
were printed last week among
the whites, and which were both
numerous and generous. We
hope to be able next week to give
complete list of colored donors
to the Red Cross fund.
