Doorn, Holland, Jan. 25 P — Thritty Dutch tradesmen are rub- bing their hands gleefully these days over the unexpected volume of busi- ness occasioned by the festivities in conmection with the 70th anniversary of former Kaiser Wilhelm's birth. One enterprising cigar store had special cigar boxes devised with & picture of Wilhelm as he looked 20 vears ago when he had no beard and only a moustache. The bands on the cigars display the Prussian coat of arms. “You can't buy a Kaiser cigar anywhere else,” the proprictor ad- monished each into the shop. “Certainly not in Ger- many, but also not anywhere else in Holland.” For the first time in many years the barber of Doorn expects to keep his shop open on Sunday to shave the greatest collection of blucbloods that ever submitted to his razor. Many Cards At a stationery shop there was a lig supply of postcards on display. These showed either the former kaiser alone, or with his wife Prin- cess Hermine or with the former Wilhelm. There were also pictures of Princess Hermine with her chil- dren and numerous views of Doorn Manor. Books from the pen of Wilhelm | or those favorable to him were also displayed for sale. Fvery automobile in the village has been hired for the next three days by the Hohenzollerns and num- stranger dropping | within & year, an anti-British boy- cott would be instituted. Ghandi’s plan, shortly to be sub- mitted to the congrem’ werking committee, ‘provides that volunteers sheuld visit every village aid town in India to collect and burn all for- eign cloth and receive orders for homespun. The congress members would call on dealers not to pur- chase foreign cloth and to cancel any orders they might have for it, and shops selling foreign cloth | would be picketed. | Ghandi's program also called for enforcement of prohibition of liquor.

TALK WITH BYRD WHILE | FLYING IN ANTARCTIC Examiner Says KUP Operator in Di- rect Communication With Plane While in Flight. San Francisco, Jan. 25 UP—The Examiner said today that Fred Roe- buck, announcer at its station KUP had talked directly with Malcolm P. Hansen, radio expert of the Byrd Antarctic expedition, while the lat- the expedition's plane, Stars and Stripes, - over the Bay of Whales, Antarctica. Roebuck and Hansen were in two way communication for 22 minutes carly this' morning. The distance, approximately 9,000 miles, is believ- | ed to be the greatest over which a two way, all-radio conversation ever has taken place. The Stars and Stripes was 3,000 feet over the bay. Hansen and Roebuck merely ex- changed greetings, as the former was testing the radio gear of the Stars and Stripes and Roebuck was trying out the equipment of the new Robert Dollar station here. Radio - telephone communication between this country and Kurope often involves conversations across spans of §000 miles or more, but i some cases more than half the dis- tance is covered by means of tcle- phone wires.
