BRAZIL SAID TO BE SEARCHING FOR A
 HIDDEN SUB BASE

BUENOS AIRES. Jan. 15.-The Bra zilian press is highly excited over the reports current in that country that a German corsair was observed off the Brazilian coast several weeks ago.
 The newspapers assert that the mys- terious vessel was identified as Ger man, and that it unloaded an immense cargo of heavy cases at Cerquiera and Armacao.
 Several days later the steamer re turned to Armacao with additional cargo, which the newspaper accounts say it is believed she received from a large ship out of sight of land. From Armacao the vessel proceeded to Cal QUITO, where another portion of the cargo was unloaded.
 These ports are not guarded and it is asserted that the cargoes landed were smuggled away. Later the Ger man vessel was sighted at San Pedro de Adera, where two persons now are under arrest as a result of their re- lations with the crew They are charged with being spies. The news papers say the corsair disappeared as mysteriously as she came, and Brazil ians believe she brought supplies for a submarine base.

MAGAZINES WANTED
 FOR SOLDIER BOYS
KetchikanerS Are Asked To Bring Magazines to Post
 Office for Boys

A patriotic and thoughtful girl prot a few magazines to the Post Office the otht Jay, and putting one-cent .s.am3 Cn each turned them over to the postmaster to be sent to the training camps, where they are in time turn ed over to the boys in the Y. M. c. A.. rooms On accepting the magazines, the assistant deplored the fact that more magazines were not forthcoming from the people of Ketchikan and said that in fact, they were getting very few.
 Here is another case of sheer for getfulness, and nothing else, for Ket- chikaners are nothing if not patriotic and loyal, but unless things like this are brought to their attention, they are apt to let them slide.
 It is a very small sacrifice on the part of every reader of magazines to put a one-cent stamp on the maga- zine and drop it in the post office for the men to read, and surely there are hundreds of magazines that are lay ing around the homes that are useless after they are once read Did you ever stop to think of the pleasure that magazine might give to some home sick boy, in his leasure hours? No you didn't, but get all your January magazines together now, you don't need to tie them up or anything. the post office does that, and begin the New Year right and be sure that your little act will receive due appreciation on the part of some boy, maybe your own.
