PLUME IN DOLDRUMS

Plume, July 1s.-FIume fingers in the doldrums so far as re- sumption of the ounce wor1d-re- noWned trade at this port is concern ed, while the new state of Jugoslavia is pressing forward in an effort to take the trade with America that Plume held before the war.
 Political quarrels in this city and international disputes keep the wharves of Plume idle but in Jugo- slavia a company has been formed to establish a line of steamers to operate from Spalato, Ragusa and Cattaro to New York.
 Already small steamers are being operated along the whole Dalmatian coast under the JugoslaV flag but they do not touch at Plume, formerly the chief port for this trade.
 The Italian suggestion of con- sortium for the management and amalgamation of the port of Plume and the port of Baross, has been re- jected by the Jugoslavs, who claim complete sovereignty over the port of Baross and with it the town of Sus- sak, all of which, they contend, is in keeping with the treaty of Rapallo.
 An Italian naval commander, Cap tain Foschini, has been designated by the Italian government to take full charge of the city of Plume in an eff fort to adjust the differences be- tween the contending groups inside the town.

EXPOSITION
 PAYS DIVIDEND

San Francisco, July 18.-One of the few cash dividends ever declared by a worlds fair was announced here by trustees of the Panama Exposition, which attracted thousands from all parts of the world to San Francisco in 1915.
 The dividend, the first and last paid by the exposition company, was for eight per cent. on~the stock ap- proximating S5.5O0,00O. Checks GOV ering the dividend will be sent to stockholders August 1.
 The exposition company also gave the city of San Francisco the huge exposition auditorium here and its organ The last Democratic na- tiona1 convention was held in the auditorium.
 Another gift to the city resulting from the exposition area of four blocks along the Marina, a bay-front stretch of the exposition grounds not far outside the Golden Gate. It came from stockholders who decline to ac- cept their dividend and put the mon ey into the property to give to the city. It is probable the tract will be converted into a marine park and boulevard.

TOWNS ARE
 DESERTED

Sydney, N. s. w. July 1s-Inac- tivity in the copper mining industry has caused the practical assertion of the populations from the towns of Cobar and Broken Hills.
 At one time Cobar boasted of a population of several thousand peo- pie. Now it is but a collection of bare shacks, with it's people gone
 Broken Hills, another mining town, that in it's heydey had a population of 50,O00 is also desolate-. Early in 1919, when the towns products were selling at high figures, the miners struck and remained out two years, during which time the bot tom fell out of the metal markets. When the miners were ready to re- turn to work, the operators found they could work the mines only at loss.
 Owners of the mines told the men of their problems and offered to work the properties, without profit, for the sake of the miners, if the men would take wage reductions of about twenty per cent. The men, although depending upon the gov ernment for food. voted down the proposals. It was charged that ra- dicals led in the movement to de- feat the return to work.

LIVE IN WAY
 OF STONE AGE

London, July 1S-People who are still living in the manner of the Stone Ages are found on Rennen Isl and in the Solomon group, Melanesia, according to pr. Northrop' Deck. a missionary.
 Dr. Deck says there are only about 500 inhabitants, and because of their isolation, through lack of ships an- chorage, even their dialect has never been studied
 The natives only had implements and weapons of stone and wood when Dr. Deck first visited the island They showed great eagerness to barter homemade articles for anything made of iron.
 '"The men are great fighters ana wrestlers- Their throwing spears have points made of human leg and arm bones, and tipped with a bone splinter designed to break off in the wound, says DT. Deck.
 They seemed to feel keen1y the monotony Of their isolation and they showed settled melancholy, both in their faces and the cadence of their voices. Their only sort of music, to which they dance, consists in the tuneless beating of log."
 The teeth of flying foxes which swarm in the caves on the island seem to be the only form of currency known there.

GEISHAS MIX IN JAPANESE DIPLOMACY
Nippon Statesman Sees Ruin In Policy of Linking Women Entertainers Too Closely With Affairs of State.
By DUKE N. PARRY International News Service Staff Cor
 reSDOndent

respondent
 X Tokio, July 1S-Geishas and states men is the theme of a recent cr1t1- : cism of the public men of Japan, by | Marquis Okuma, sage of Waseda, Tokio, and a former Prime Minister. . That the beautiful charmers of the young men of Japan and of the tou- ! rists should not be publicly associat- { ed with the controllers of the Elm pire's destinies is the point made by Marquis Okuma. In a characteris- tica1ly frank and breezy interview given recently in Tokio, the Marquis freely admits that he sowed his wild far as to condone the custom of giv- [ ing geisha entertainment But he seriously objects to the now popular idea in Japan of settling a nations destinies in machiai (geisha res taurant).
 ''I don't mind confessing that in my youth I sowed my wild oats," says the Marquis. fBut I have more than once warned Prince Yamagata, the so-called secret ruler of Japan, that the discussion of affairs of state in geisha houses is wrong.''
 There is perhaps no nation in the world where politics and entertain smer1t are so necessarily mixed as are the politics and entertainments of Japan. Geisha entertainment. con sistins of the typical Japanese music , and dancing and smart talk by bril- liant dressed young Japanese women is the highest compliment that can
 
 political prestige given. Foreign statesmen and new arrivals in Japan .are frequently given sumptuouS gel ssha parties, and these entertain ments S.are always ranked as among the most distinctively pleasant that a visitor to -the Orient has To maintain the old idea that the geisha house is, in the opinion of Marquis Okuma, quite the thing. But he deplores the medd1ing of the geisha in po1f- tics.
 Japan Needs New Front.
 'In the former days" continued Marquis Okuma, politics in Japan were discussed in clubs where wOmer, were not admitted Today they ar- discussed in the common geisha house, Yamagata, Ito, Terauchi and their crowd, all of them bearing names which are prominent in Japanese his tory, used to indulge in revelries. I, : therefore, do not begrudge the pre- sent Cabinet Ministers their enjoy ment of the company of beautiful Japanese women. But the states manship of Japan suffers when our controlling statesmen advertise the fact that they hold banquets and discuss the Empires affairs in the geiSha house.

BIRD LOVERS WIN VICTORY

won a victory by the final passing of the Plumage bill, which prohibits the importation into the United King dom of the feathers of any bird ex- cept those of the African ostrich and the elder duck
 The bill is mainly designated to prevent cruelty in securing the fea- thers of such ornamental birds as ospreys and birds of paradise.
 The prohibition regarding importa- tion extends to dead bodies of birds with the plumage on them, but does not apply to feathers worn by trav- elers or introduced in travellers bag sage. provided 1t can be shown that they are for personal use only.
 Strenuous opposition had been of fered to the passage of the bill by the trade interested.
