AMBULANCEF0R
 HORSES IN CAL.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1S.-What is claimed to be the first horse ann bulance used by the United States government was placed in service recently at the Presidio, San Fran cisco. The vehicle was presented to the government by the San Francisco society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to supply an urgent need for such vehicle for transporting sick and disabled horses and mules to the veterinary hospital maintained at that post. So far as is known it is the only ambulance of the kind owned and used by the government. All though the American Red Star Ami nal Relief has rendered an offer of two ambulances, costing $5.000 each. for service in France and has plans for large number of cheaper ones, none has been received as yet by the government.

DOES
 SOME RUSTLINC


 The activity displayed by some of the Boy Scouts in the present drive of the Third Liberty Loan is some thing remarkable. spurred on by the offer of the banks to give prizes to those making the greatest showing, many were out at the break of dawn yesterday.
 Before the drive the scoutmaster was approached and asked if he was going to invest in Liberty Bonds. and his response was that he would buy from the first one to approach him on the opening day of the Scout drive. He was taken at his word. and yesterday morning at 4:30 he was called out of his peaceful slum- bers by Norman Russell and in duced to make his word good to the extent of $100. Norman had most of the early birds and those of the owl club corraled by the time the other Scouts were out looking for live ones.

ONE JAP FEELS
 RIGHT SPIRIT

HONOLULU, April 9.-Appreciation of what it means to live under the protection of the United States is shown in a letter from a Japanese pineapple laborer of the Island of Kauai received at the selective draft headquarters in this city. The writer states that he is 39 years of age and hence will not be drafted. but he wants to enlist voluntarily for ser vice. He has lived in the Islands for eighteen years.
 "The reason that l wanted very much to join the United States army voluntarily and fight the 'Huns,'" his letter continues. "is that l have been in the United States so long and feel that it is my duty to do something in return for the country where l have lived so long and received the protection and many other privileges"

ZEEBRUCCE LIST
 IS MADE PUBLIC
Associated PressD


 LONDON. April 1.-The British casualty list for the naval operations in the recent Zeebrugge operations was given out tonight by the ad- miralty. It shows that total of 588 men were lost. Sixteen officers were killed, three died of wounds received, two are missing and twen- ty-nine are wounded. One hundred and forty-four men were killed, 25 have died from wounds, IA are still missing and 355 are wounded
 The victory achieved is said to be far out of proportion to the casu- alties incurred. The Zeebrugge chan nel is completely blocked, which leaves the German submarines in the North sea only the Ostend port to operate from. This port is more accessible to the British fleet and renders the enemy operations haz- ardous.

 JUDGE KICKED
 JURY MEN OUT

HONOLULU. April Slight petit jurors in the United States district court in this city who were engaged in the trial of the case of Mrs. Alesa Bolton, accused of having sold liquor to soldiers in uniform, were summari- ly discharged by United States Judge Horace w. Vaughan yesterday as un- fit to serve.
 Judge Vaughan's drastic action was taken when the jury, which had heard the evidence and arguments, came into court and reported it was unable to agree. The judge asked how the vote stood. Eight for acquittal to four for conviction, the foreman re- piled.
 Jndge Vaughan then demanded the names of the eight jurors who had voted for acquittal, and they were furnished by the foreman. The court promptly ordered that these men be dismissed from service on the petit jury.
 "I want to say to these jurors that this is perfectly clear case" said Judge Vaughan. You have allowed the defendants attorney to influence you against the government, and I won't have men of that kind on my jury"
 Judge Vaughan's summary action created sensation in Honolulu, as several of the jurors whom he dis charged are men prominent in social and commercial fife in the city.
