ARMYPROPERTyT
Be THROWN ON
OPEN MARKET
SURPLUS TO BE OFFERED TO
STATE INSTITU-
TIONS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 22.-
All army surplus property will be
thrown ON the open market. A
plan has been worked out where
by it will be offered for sale to
the state institutions. 1t is hoped
thus to prevent the flooding of the
market with finished material and
at the same time offer the state in
situations an opportunity for pro-
viding employment to inmates. AS
soon as the states notify the waste
reclamation service of the depart
ment of commerce of their needs
the request will be turned over to
the war department for action.
Captain H. l.. Baldensperger has
been assigned by the war depart
ment to assist in the work of the
waste reclamation service.
This program has been worked
out by Hugh Frayne, chairman CT
the labor division, val industries
board, who says:
"In cooperation with John j.
Manning of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and Captain Baldens-
perger. who has been an executive
of a prison reform association, l
have sponsored a movement for a
nationwide system of reclamation
By means of the labor of the in
mates of the public institutions.
AS preliminary to this program We
worked for a system of reclama-
ton in the army whereby this work
was to be done by prisoners OF
war, general prisoners and men
unfit for line duty.
"The success of the salvage ac-
tivities of the army strengthens my
belief that a similar system should
be adopted by the states. We have
recommended that the army ma
terial be repaired by the inmates

RAILROADS IN FRANCE ARE
in DEPLURABLE CONDITION

the French transportation experts
is the restoration of the destroy
ed railway tracks in the invaded
part of France. An army of u.s.
600 workers will be engaged on
this great work for months. 1t in
cludes the reconstruction of IA
tunnels and 10000 bridges, for
which $4,000 tons of metal are re-
quired.
In addition, hundreds of miles
of main and branch lines have
been temporarily borrowed" for
military purposes from elsewhere,
and must now be relaid.
The departments affected have
been divided up into sections, for
each of which a "chief reorganiz-
er" has been appointed. Each of
them has been required to give an
undertaking that he will have his
section in proper working order as
regards transportation in the
course of the present year.
An appropriation of 12O, 1000, 900
francs has been made by the gov
eminent to enable the railway COM
panies to purchase rolling stock
for urgent public needs. The min
lister of public works has declared
that, in his view, the restoration
of Frances northern and eastern
railway systems should be made a
first charge upon the war indemni-
ty to be paid by the enemy.

PARIS, Feb. 20. - France, as a
result of the war, finds itself short
of 5000 locomotives and 100000
cars, while the transportation ma
terial that is still nominally on the
active list is badly out of repair.
The shortage of rolling stock has
become very acute lately, for the
number of locomotives and cars
out of commission for various de-
fects has increased since July last
by 10 and 80 per cent respectively.
To meet the growing difficulties
in the matter of repairs, the state
munition factories at Lyons, Tou-
louise and Roanne have, since the
armistice, been turned with all
speed into railway repair shops.
The French government has long
hesitated to place orders in the
United States, where alone new
rolling stock could be procured,
for fear of depressing the French
rate of exchange unduly; but the
country's needs became so pressing
that orders have now been given,
it is understood, for purchasing 500
locomotives and $4,000 cars, while
$4,000 American airs that were to
have been shipped to France for
the use of the American expedi-
tionary forces have also been &C
Quired.

Hawaii PLANS TO
OBSERVE TOOTH
anniversary
MODERN HISTORY OF ISLANDS
STARTED IN
1919

HONOLULU, Feb. %. - The
Tooth anniversary of the depart
ure from Boston of the first mis-
sionaries from the United States
to the Sandwich islands, as they
were then known, will be celebrat-
ed here on Oct. 23 next. On that
date, in the year 1919, the brig
Thaddeus, Captain Hunnewell, sail
ed from Boston to Hawaii.
The vessel anchored at Kailau,
Kona, island of Hawaii, on April
5, 1920, and the missionaries land
ed that day to begin their work
of civilizing the natives and con-
verting them to Christianity. The
Tooth anniversary of that date,
April 5, 1920, also will be cele-
brated under the auspices of the
Hawaiian board of missions.
On Oct. %, this year, it is
planned to have an interchange
of messages between the Hawaiian
board of missions and the board
of foreign missions of Boston,
which sent the first missionaries
to Hawaii 100 years ago.
Those who arrived in Hawaii on
the Thaddeus were Asa Thurston
and Hiram Bingham, ordained
missionaries, with their wives;
Daniel Chamberlain, Tho Holmes,
Samuel Whitney, Samuel Ruggles,
Elisha Loomis and four Hawaiians,
Honoliil, Hopu and Kanui, who
had received their education at
Cornell institute, and George Ho-
mohumo, son of Kaumaulii, the
king of the island of Kauai. The
Hawaiians had been taken to the
United States on trading vessels.
Traders and whalers had been Wis
iting Honolulu for some years be-
fore the arrival of the missionaries,
but it is from the latter event that
the modern history Of Hawaii
dates.
Lorrin A. Thurston, a descend
ant of one of the first missionaries,
lives in Honolulu now. He is
the publisher of the Honolulu Pa
cific Commercial Advertiser.

SERB HEALTH GOOD DESPITE
COLD and SCARCITY Of FUEL

NISH, Serbia, Feb. 20. - The
health of the population of Serbia
is surprisingly good. There have
been few cases of the dreaded ty-
plus or even of influenza. In both
the military and civil hospitals
the work of Serbian doctors, whose
number since the war began has
been reduced by more than half is
being supplemented by British,
French and American physicians.
The American Red Cross has
hospitals at Uskub and Monastir
and will establish others in north
ern Serbia If required. Major
Daniel j. Mccarthy of Davenport,
Iowa, is in charge of the hospital
at Uskub, and DR.. r. B. Reyes of
Buffalo is in charge of the one at
Monastir. There are Red Cross
doctors and dentists at Nish, Bel
grade and other points.
In the Monastir district there is
a special Red Cross mission for the
purpose of training Serbian peas
ants in American farming methods
and encouraging them to use mod
ern agricultural machinery.
At several places the American
Red Cross is distributing food and
clothing to an increasing number
of persons daily. A shipment of
food and medicines which recently
arrived at Ffume has been sent
into Northern Serbia, and soon the
Red Cross will be caring for desti-
tute persons in almost every Sec
ton of the country.

THREE OLD WRRSH|PS
c Unsigned TO
SCRAP. HEAP
INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS AND
IOWA OUTLINE USE
FULNESS

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22. =
Three of the old-time leaders of
the American navy have been con-
demned to the scrap heap. The
Indiana, Massachusetts and Iowa,
battleships, now in the basin of
the Philadelphia navy yard, will
shortly be destroyed, as they have
outlived their usefulness. Yet, 25
years ago they were the equals of
anything afloat. The Indiana
class of battleship was regarded
as a daring experiment. When the
Indiana first went to sea all on
board were impressed with the
feeling that she might turn owe
in a heavy sea and go to the bot
tom.
Although the old battleships are
still serviceable, and they were
used in the world war, they are OBJ
solete and destined for the naval
morgue.

This work Is being conducted
from Saloniki, where Major John
p. Carey of Colorado Springs, act
ing commissioner of the Red Cross
mission to Serbia, is in charge.
The commissioner to Serbia, Lieu
tenant-C Colonel Thomas w. Farnam
of New Haven, Conn.,, expects to es-
tablish headquarters at Belgrade
at an early date.
The weather is extremely cold
and fuel is very scarce. The Aus
TRANS and Bulgarians deliberately
wrecked entire buildings in order
to make firewood of the flooring
and window frames. There is
scarcely any petrol in the country
and ordinary kerosene is selling at
IS a quart. The country's coal
mines cannot be worked because
most of the miners are still in the
army.
Railroads and highways are in a
lamentable condition and present
many obstacles to the task of get
ting relief supplies to the interior.
The enemy forces in their retreat
wantonly destroyed large sections
of the railroads, and as a result
certain regions must rely on auto
mobile transport. Only the most
powerful motor cars and trucks
can get over the war-worn roads.
The army has most Of the country's
horses and they will not be avail
able for transport or agricultural
purposes for some time.

JAPANESE HOLD
PEACE ENVOY IN
HIGH FAVOR
TASK Is TO MAINTAIN ORIENT
FOR ORIENT
AIS

TOXIC, Feb. rs. - Marquis
Saionji, chief Japanese envoy to the
peace conference in Paris, left
Toxic last week for the French
capital. His departure evoked in
~teresting suggestions from the
leading newspapers as to Japan's
attitude in far eastern affairs.
The Kokumin asserts that it will
be the task of Marquis Salonji to
maintain the principle of 1.-The
Orient for the Orientals" and re-
minds its readers that he bears
on his shoulders the destiny of the
Japanese empire. The paper adds
that this policy accords with the
principles of liberty and equality
enunciated by President Wilson as
the basis of a worlds peace.
The Asahi, perhaps the leading
Japanese newspaper, with stimuli
taneous editions in Toxic and Osa-
ka, lays stress upon the assertion
of the principle of racial equality
and declares that by upholding
this policy the marquis would be
in accord with President Wilson's
ideas of justice and humanity. At
the same time the Asahi remarks
that the trend of world affairs de-
