WASIIINC.TON, Decembergovern-

ment has joined hands with theWashington administration andFriday addressed a note to thebelligerent powers announcingthat it will (Utpport Mr. Wilson'seffort' to secure'-- a discussion ofpeace terms by the warring na-

tions.

ajl the nations at war, as; well asto the leading, nU.Ul, the Swissgovernment declares that "wewould consider ourselves as mostfortunate and happy; if Switzer-

land can, in the most modest fash-

ion, act so as to bring peace near-

er.BACKING PRESIDENT

"The step taken by PresidentWilson lias found a ready andmighty echo in the hearts of thepeople of this country, where dayafter day we arc forced to listento the moans of suffering Europe.

"Our whole land is 'illed tooverflowing with a longing forpeace, and we are ready to assistby any and every means in ourpower to put a stop to the endlesssuffering which is brought beforeour eyes daily by our contact withthe interned, the wounded and theexpelled peoples of our neighbor-ing countries."

Word of the action of the Swissgovernment reached the chancel-lories of the warring nations Satur-day afternoon, the note havingbeen sent Friday, but was notmade public immediately. Yester-day however it was generallyknown throughout France andGreat Britain, and the receptiongiven the note by tTie press of thosecountries was hardly less antagoni-stic! than that which greeted themessage of Mr. Wilson.

FRENCH DETERMINEDThe French public and the

French papers, lead by the mostinfluential of them, characterizedthe Swiss note in much the samesort of language that they used forthe Wilson communications. Com-

ing as it has upon the heels of therecent vote of the French senate,declaring without a single excep-

tion that France is prepared tofight on so long as one enemy oc-

cupies one foot of French soil, theydeclare that it is hardly necessaryIn reiterate that France will fightmi lo the end.

Many of the leading journals saythat the message should be "re-ceived with courteous attention,"but that is all. They one and allrepeat the determination to con-

tinue the war until victory hasnvned the efforts of the Allies.

Governor Pinkham will do the ofHeial

honor for the Carnival this coming seat-o-

In accepting the invitation of thedirectors, he write as follows:

" It i imperative from a touriststandpoint that Hawaii be lifted abovethe plane ol common practise, for visit-

ors come from a long dlstunae and an-

ticipate urate than ordinary occurrencesnnd attention. The numbers are becom-ing too great for citUons' privateoartesies, hence it would sec in official

attention may relieve the situation."By virtue of this acceptance, all in-

vitation to what used to be known astiie Director General ' stand will be is-

sued by the Governor, with the singleexception of the army review, or ss itis more generally known, parade, onWashington's Birthday.

Officially speaking, this parade is noport of the Carnival. The war depart-ment at Washington is not supposed toknow that such as institution as theCarnival exists, and if it did know itwould mnke no recognition of it. Sothe parade is given as a .patriotic de-

monstration, in the form of a reviewby the commanding general of the Ha-waiian department, on the anniversaryof George Washington's birthday, andthe commanding general issues the in-

vitations. tWill Not Camp HereThe troop from Hchoficld, Castner,

Knmchameha nnd other outlying postswill not camp in town for CarrtWalweek this coming February, a theyhnve in yearB pant. There was a per-ceptible undercut rent of talk amongthe men Inst season that tbey were be-

ing ordered in nguinet their wishes, toupend their money for the benefit of themerchants. The directors felt that itwould be highly unfortunate ,to givesuch a feeling any color of justificationand, lo put the situation beyond thepossibility of criticism, they asked

r in v headquarters to poll the depart-ment. A majority of post commandersreplied t but the sentiment of the menhrh against an encampment and it wasaccordingly abandoned. ,

For a time it seemed probable, orat least possible, that this might cutdown the parade to the troops at fthaf-ter- ,

Armstrong, De Hussy and Ruger,but tlio attitude of headquarters nowiavors giving the best parade possibleor none at all. Without much risk ofcontradiction by the ewnt, therefore,it may be said that fbe tourists of 1917will see the biggest military turnoutheld anywhere under the American flug.Japanese Lantern Parade

On the same day, the Japanese givetheir lantern parade, not merely a beau-tiful spectacle, the like of whish is tintto bei witnessed anywhere elite in thecountry, hut as their tribute to thefounder of the nation under whose pro-tection and laws they have chosou tolivs.

The luntcrn parade begins early. Byhalf past six o'clock thousands .of bob-bing balls of (lie are to bo seen massedalong Heretiniu and fiivor Ktreeta;promptly at .half-pan- t seven the riverol (Ire begins to pour up King Ktreet,and not much after eight, or half-pas- t

Twenty flays out from Midway Is-

frequent rain (quails did not improvethe voyaging. The voyage out, how-

ever, proved to be a pleasant one.About four tons of sand were broughtbark as cargo.

Charles Martin, engineer, who hasspent the last three years on MidwayIsland, was a returning pasenger onthe vessel, glad to get bark to morepopulous center in time to eat Christ-m- a

turkey. The Flaurence Ward, in-

cidentally, carried Santa Clnus to theMidway Islanders and the cable sta-tion will today celebrate royally onits lonely little ialund twelve huudrcdmiles to the northwest.

It might be thought that Huturdayl.ight would be the fitting place on theprogram for a directors' bull, but thatpiaoe is reserved for the Water

and though the pageant will beover by half-pas- t nine, giving plenty oftime for a society ball, it lias beenfound by experience that ladies who

to dance that night simply willnot risk their ball gowns against thechances of being torn in a crowd orruined by rain and mud. So the

ball has to be given an undis-puted place, with no competition from

, other attraction. Not that the ballauffer by competition on the con-

trary, what happen is that it abso-lutely kills off the other attraction.

With Norman Ross from Htanford,the national women's diving championfrom Lo Angeles, and Perry Mc.Gilli-viay- ,

the national champion at onehundred yards, here for the swimmingmoot, W. T. Rawlins, in charge of thatevent, believes the visitors will not beable to show the best they have in lessthan two days. Accordingly, it isplanned this year to give two days ofswimminp, on the best two days in theweek Washington's Birthduy, a na-

tional holiday, and Haturday afternoon,a half holiday. (Swimming in Honoluluis like a horse race in Kentucky itdraws the biggest crowds of the year.

(By To Associated Press)BEKI.IX. December 25 Because beer

is jiot an indispensable necessity inNorth Germany, yet is that iu SouthGermany, the north is to gel consider-ably less of ttiis product iu the futurethan the south. The north is to be horestricted that, after it h:is supplied itshnres to the army, it will have forthe civil population only fourteen percent of the peace time quantity.

Mouth Germany hiis for some timebeen allowed to use forty-nin- per centof its grain of the necessary varietyfor niHking beer. It will receive thissame- percentage during the immediatefuture. Norlli Geriiiaiiy, however, whichhas been grunted only thirty live percent of its grain for beer-makin- purposes, is now to be reducud lo twenty-fiv-

per cent. F.lven per cent of thisgoes to cover aimy needs, so thai four-teen per cent leiimins.

An usual it is the public und onlythe public that is hit, for the hrcweisare lo be allowed lo raise their prices toi oinM'iisate them for their reduced out-put. The result to be anticipate,! there-fore is less beer, and thut lillle "stret-ched" or vwilorcil unduly, at inerei.sedprices.

The Lowly One of theCross, the anniversary of whose advent upon earthwill be observed with pomp and circumstance, inservices of thanks and praise and promises in allthe churches of the city tomorrow, did not shunthe Magdalehes of His time, nor spurn their de-

STORMS DEFEATED

BIG KINKASAN MARU

Twenty-thre- e Days Between SanFrancisco and Honolulu

Tried Great Circle

Illustrating a practical reason whyHonolulu is without a rival as a transpacific bunkering port, the big Japan-ese freighter Kinkasan Maru, CaptainII. Koizumi, iirrived from San Fran-cisco yesterday morning in the extraor-dinary long time nf twenty-thre- days.

The big vessel, which called in herem veral months nuo en route from theOrient to the Const, left San Francisco

itli the intention of making Japan bythe (ireat Circle route to the north, theustomHry direct rirtit for steamers

from the Const to Japan, and in actualmiles shorter than the route viaHawaii.

According to Captain Koizumi yesti rday, his essel made only six bun-dled miles westward on this route, andafter bucking tremendous gales, which'iibmcrgcd even his big craft to the su-

bstructure, he was compelled to turnsouth. Not only was this a necessity

l navigation, in face of the weatherlie was experiencing, but he ran out ofeul, which was his reason or putting

into Honolulu.Captain Koizumi had no ruult to flna

with Sun Francisco coal. The only ob-jection to it was that the ship's bunk-ers full of it was not sufficient to carrythe Kinkasan over the direct routefrom San Francisco.

Had he taken the southerly route,via the Islands, he would have been inYokohama at present, at his usual rateof travel, and would not have had tbaexpense of re bunkering or of extranoit charges. He has still, however, atleast seventeen days' sailing.

The Kinkasan'a experience is a prac-tical illustration of the advantage ofHonolulu over Coast ports as a bunker-i- i

y station for vessels coming from thecnt coast of the United Statea or fromthe west coast of South America, andrenlirution of the fact is adding scoresof ships to those making this route tothe Orient a custom.

The Kinkasan. after taking on bunk-ers at Pier 10. left for Yokohama atfive o'clock yesterday afternoon.

'Froia Since

Sent His Ficras and Press Are

For Hidden Motive Behind the Formal Words

(Associated Press

VJ EW YORK, December 23suggestion that peace may be nearer than generally supioscd

as advanced by President Wilson, has been received with the greatest manifestation of welcome, thethe various warring Powers hasvery critical reception.

Not since President Cleveland'stain over, Venezuela has any message from an American executivecaused the stir which Mr. Wilson's note to the belligerent powershas made in all classes of English people, and London papers and of-

ficials did not hesitate to admit that they are still looking for " something behind it.

T

The French press is a unit in declaring that there is no occasionfor the Entente Powers to make any clearer announcement of theiraims than has been made repeatedly, and that Germany alreadyknows the conditions upon which'.ion 6f hostilities. These conditions, are the withdrawal of Germanroops from all occupied territory,

paration for the injuries her armiesoverrun and the giving on the partges that a recurrence of the present war cannot be.

NOTE DRAMATIC STROKEorgan of the radicals, takes the ground that the

note is a clear indication of the fact that the United States will soonbe actively in the war on the side

"President Wilson's note comes as a dramatic stroke of diplo-macy," it says. "Germany has plainly threatened that there will bea renewal of the submarine frightfulness if the Allies refuse now tomake peace, and such a renewal, with a possibility of a second Lusi-tani- a

crime, probably will draw the United States into the conflict.There will be no peace, however, until Germany restores all theterritory she has taken, makes adequate and full reparation for hermany crimes against humanitywill be no renewal of the conflict in the future."

CALLS MOVE ILL-ADVIS-

Le Temps believes that President Wilson has acted unadvisedly"The President, in his desire for peace, has neglected to weigh allthe evidence," says that influential Paris journal. "He must knowthat the only peace th Allies desire is a peace that will be of anenduring quality.

President Wilson ' note, addressedto nil th belligerents, wn banded tothe German foreign office on Thursdayevening and given out immedetely tothe preav ?' appeared in full la oee-ticall- y

'eVery morning paper through-out Germany yesterday morning, laevery instance being greeted editoriallywith a tremendous welcome, the editorsagreeing that" It foreshadowed an earlyleace.

The Berlin despatches described theGerman officials as pleased at the word-ing of the note.

Ambassador Oerard, who reachedBerlin last night from the UnitedNntes, was at onco besieged by theGerman press representatives, all clam-oring for additional information. Mr.Uerard later discussed the situationwith Herr Zimmerman a.Waiting In England

In Oreat Britain the attitude of theofficial circles is one of "watchfulwaiting." They feel, if interviewsprinted in the British press can be tak-en aa a criterion of their feelings, that"there Is something behind the move,"and they are waiting to see just whatthat something may be.

Officials were all emphatic in theirstatements that the notes would not inany way change the plan of procedureregarding the German communicationswhich the government bad already de-cided upon.

The Entente, it was aaaerted intendato reply to President Wilson within m

fortnight.The newspapers join in the search for

a "possible concealed motive" and

which have been given publicly andprivately, accord:"g to despatches re-

ceived from London last night. Thenewspaper correspondents in the Brit-ish eapital wired last night that nota few of the London papera are in-

clined to believe that the "hidden m-otive"' behind the, note atands revealedin (Secretary Lansing's statement that"America is on the verge of beingdrawn into the war."

Prominent dally journals franklyconjecture that "a resumption of thesubmarine policy which Germany has

vowed she intends, would undoubtedlyinvolve the United States."

The Daily Mall in commenting uponthe note and the possibility that thereia some motive concealed from the pub-li- e

view says:"In spite of the refutation the very

fact that Secretary leasing used thewords that he selected to convey hisinterpretation of the note, shows thatthe relation between the United Statesand some one of the belligerents isstrained to the breaking point."

British press opinions for the mostpart are either ealmlv critical orantic, while the spokeamen for the

government, without dirnt reference tothe President s note, make it pl inthat Oreat Britain is not in the humorto waste time over advancing peaceterma. A number of the leaser nublirations denounce the President for ,

what they term hia impertinence, butthe more influential journals advisecalmneaa.

Itis also proposed to Nt it up aa a firstelaaa gymnasium.

Last Monday the mail carried an ap-plication to Ijind Commissioner B. G.Rivenburgh from the officers of theleague for a lease for twenty-on- yearson thia strip of land. The lot has afrontage on Kamebameha Avenue oflOOO feet, running back 400 feet.

The building itself, which is beingplanned by Architeet Arakawa, will beeighty feet wide and 110 feet deep,with a stag fifty by thirty feet.

HILO, December 20 Hince last Feb-ruary the heaviest rainfall which Hilohas experienced was that for the twenty-f-

our hour ending at o'clockyesterday morning, when the precip-itation at Waiakea amoooted to 8.31Inches, while at Wainakn, the otherside of the eity, it measured 7.85 inch-es. The result waa flooded streets andmuch inconvenience in the lowlands,where the streets were torrents and on-ly the new storm sewers prevented areal flood.

When the Gleowood train on the Ha-waii Consolidated Railway, which leavesHilo at half-pas- t two, reached FifteenMiles it was found that such a torreatwas flowing over the tracks that itwould be dangerous to continue and thetrain backed all the way to the Waia-kea station with its passengers. Anydamage to the roadbed caused by thefloods will be repaired at once.

When Kxucutive OfMcer Hamucl Kaubanc, who waa to have taken thesteamer Monday afternoon to attenda meeting of the budget committee inHonolulu, got as far as Four Miles itwas found that the bridge was out andthe road flooded to such a depth thatit was impossible to get through.

struggle in that region told of thesuccess of the Russians in captur-ing a number of important heightsfrom the Germans and Bulgars,and yesterday the Russian gen-

eral staff announced that hun-

dreds of Bulgars had been driv-en into Lake Ibolata and manydrowned, while 115 had been tak-en prisoners.

On the other hand Berlin an-nounced earlier in the evening,that the Russians and Rumadiatttre continuing to fall back, and

PEACE SPEACII REACHES CITYESOIVERS of Ships To Isles'.I

Insist Stringent Measures 'MustBe Taken To Avert Growing

Menace of Submarines

Lord fieresford Declares Govern

ment Must Be Made To

Act At Once

In the house of lords on Wednesdaynight, November 15, l.ord BereefordLord and Lord Midletonmade grave speeches concerning thegrowing menace of the German nubmarines and demanded n more vigor-nil offensive policy against the German

fleet, mvi the London lailv MailNeither Lord Crwe nor Lord Lytton,who replied for the government, attempt to minimize the importancef tnc Uerman naval campaign.'The debate wan opened by Lord Sy

Vahsm, who inquired when the deUnite declaration of policy in regardto the monstrous proceedings of Germanrubniarincs, to whic h Lord Crewe referred on August 15, would be issued.

The submarine campaign, continuedLord .Sydenham, was assuming veryserious dimensions, and, if it continuedwith full effect, Germany might emergefrom the war am the chief carrying(ouiitry of the world. He suggesteureprisals, auch an:

Scixurc of German property for thevulue nf ships mink.

Seizure of corresponding German tonnnge, and

Levying of heavy toll on Germanthin in all porta of the Empire formany yearn after the war.

New method of dealing with sub-marines must be tried. Circumstancesbad arinen to eaune widespread anxiety)as to the policy of the admiralty. The.great principle of naval strategy had'.been that the fimt duty of the navyw to capture or destrov the enemy's

armed nhiji. There were some indica-- j

tions that the pernicious propagandathat we should adopt the defensive andrave ships was influencing the mindsof leader tit the admiralty.The Policy of Attack:

Lord Beresford followed with a veryvigorous speech. "It wns." lie said,"a time for 'plain speaking. " Thegovernment nowadays did not take ac-tion unless the force of public opiniondrove them. That wan so with navalpolicy. The block ml e was not evenproperly effective even at the presentmoment.

The submarine campaign had neverbefore reached nuch formidable dimenieinna. The public should be assuredthat the dominating note of navalstrategy wan to attack the enemy.

'Turning to the submarine attacks.1Berawford said British merchant

shipping was in grave danger and the!eountry's supply of food and raw mate-- j

rials was imperiled. From the begin--ijing of the war up to November 3 the,I'umbcr of vessels, other tliun warships.!sunk by German submarines was 714'Hiitinb, ill t Allien' vessels, and 28 1 neu--

trnl, of which KM) were Norwegian.!Nioee that date about thirty-fou- r more'had been sunk. Our sea supremacy was--'challenged by the submarine.

Lord Beresford outlined some sugges-- j

tions for reform. The board of ad-- ,

miralty must be strengthened. Newimen were wanted there. To moet the!crisis we wanted: j

. Young men fresh from the sen. i!

Every man who ni;ile a mistake in'Strategy or lost n ship through a uiia-- i

take should ! suiierscdcd.The government should arm the mer--

Santile marine.A great effort should be made to

make up our losses and standardize, theconstruction r.f no 'chant ships.

A new department should be createdHt the Admiralty to deal with submarines and an udmirul straight fromthe neu slioulil be placed at the headof it.

A naval man should be put on thewar

An indemnity should be exacted fromGermany for the loss of all shipsillegally, mink during the war.

The blockade should be tightened byevery mean in our power.Lord Crewe: No Reprisals ,

Lord Crewe made a laboured reply4ohe demand for reprisals and in-

demnities for the action of Germansubmarines, but the substance nf itVU th&t the (iovcriimeiit tnet.

The arming of merchant ships, he)Mid, was being "most carefully con--

side red by the war committee." Tb"advent of ocean going submarines badgreatly added to the difficulty of detroyiug them. He would not attempt

to minimize the gravity of the submarine menace. The blockade was"becoming more and more effective asmonths go on.

Lord Lytton, who hus recently suc-ceeded the Duke of Devonshire as therepresentative of the navy in the bouseof lords, declared emphatically that ifwe were debarred from attacking theenemy's forces it was not from anyreluctance to take such opportunities.She grat.'il Hurt had patrolled thewliole of the North Sea on many occa-(iota- s

without coming into contact withthe German high seas fleet.

.They could not regard the submarinemenucc as other than very serious andimportant, and the campaign in thefuture must be met by new methodsjMdaibly by new men.

"From the present outlook it mightt.ot be an unsafe prediction that sucha service will be established aoon. Thehooking for travel to Hawaii farsurpass our expectation and it is notunlikely that we ahull be obliged to putthe Northern Pacific in this service totake care of the Carnival crowds.

"We will investigate the subjectfrom every angle during our stay iaHonolulu. It is our intention to lookinto the loading facilities as well aa thepassenger business. I may be able tamake a statement in a few days, lafact it is my intention to nrrive ataome conclusion in a dny or two."

Postmaster-Gener- al Says Ser-

vice Not Revenue Producer;One Cent Rate Coming

WASHIONTON, December 10 Postmaster General A. 8. Burleson's reportof the postal service for the pant yearwas given out recently. In it the de-

partment lnyn especial ertiphnnia uponthe fact that it is no longer a tax onthe genernl revenue, having 'producedsurpluses for three out of four, yearsat the present administration; however,that Its policy has been, and shall con-

tinue to be, not to pormit the poatalservice to become a revenue producerfor the Government, but that all s

postal revenues should be usedfor the enlargement of the service, toincrease postal efficiency, and, whenjustified, to reduce the rate of pontage.

Surpluses of 3,800,000 for the yearUU.'I, .1,500,000 for the year 1014, andF5,2O0.0O)l for the year 191(1 were paidinto the general fund of the Treasury,unking a total during the past fouryears of 12,500,000.

But for the business deprcasionby the European war, it in

pointed out, the department wouldiiave undoubtedly secured a surplus ofnot lean than 18,000,000 during thefour yanri ended June 30, 1916. ThisIn in marked contrast, the report nays,with the deficits for eight yearn ofthe two preceding administrations,which drained the Treasury of

and 24,927,fl57.40. respeo-'Ively- .

Among the more important recom-mendations for legislation may be mentoned the following:"Classification of the position of

postmaster at omces of the first, see-in-

and third classes. To permit trans-fer of pantoftiee- - clerks to railwaymail service at salaries not exceedingsalaries received in pontomce Bervice,

"To more adequately protect the$ofrnment and afford relief to thejfficern and employes of the postalervice, it is reconmmanded that the de

past.nent be authorised to bond itsown employes tb rough the eataousnment and maintenance of a guarantyfund derived from asnesKmenta leviedigainst and collected from such emloyes in lieu of the prenent plan of

securing bonds from commercial bonaing companies.

"To equalize pay of rural carriersby fixing salaries on bnsis of numberof pieces and weight of mail trnnsnorted. lenizth of routes, and time re(Tired U serve them instead of aolelyon basis of length of routes, as atpresent.

"To acquire, telegraph and telephoneutilities of Alaska, Porto Rico rimr 11awaii, for which an appropriation' ofl.'IOO.OOO will be asked. For experi-nentution- s

in aerial mail service animpropriation of $100,000 is recomtended."To enable the department to

post offices on a businessliketii and standardize salaries of suervisory emtdoves in an equitable

manner. To create a diviaion of statist-ics, and postal information in the Post.ttrice Department to secure data onhe operations of the postal service for

the guidance of the department and of' 'Congress.

Equitable diatribution of postal s

throughout the nation at rea-sonable coat is the keynote of the

policy. Important exten-don- s

have been made in every branchjf the acrvice.

"The poatal savings system hasgviwn from 310,000 depositors, withj;i(i,02(!,:i25 on March 1, 11)13, to 03,lOU depositors, with $8(1,010,885, onJune 30, HUB," the report continues.'During the fiscal year just closed

ihere was a gaip of 77,523 in the num-e-

of deposit on aud $2D,.'t.'IS,177 in deposiCs. Salaries of post-offic- clerks,ity n n , I rural carriers, and railway

mail clerks have been increased to theiggregute extent of $15,1)00,000. Sincejuicb, 1U1.I, 1IKI0 new steel mail carsluve been placed in the service, nfford-ni-

greater protection to postal clerks,and prompt relief has been grouted tonilwuy mail clerks injured while onluty and to their relatives or legulrepresentatives.

"Gi eater efficiency and economy inpostal equipment and the purchase ofsupplies lias been secured. Ktfort willue uwide to rev ike postage rates lookingto a l ed net ion of postage on first classmail; but in any event the departmenticepminc mis that, as curly as practic-able, the one-cen- t postugc ruto beadopted.

"For muuy years," the report says,"the poBtollicc department has broughto the attention of congress the neees-lit-

for a change in the basis of coin.icnsuting railroads for carrying themils, aasertiug 'hat the then existing

tttsi of puy. according to weight wasnequituble and unjust, resulting iniim- - 01 both oi'urpuymciit and undermyincnt to certain railroads, and which.u the aggregate resulted in the paysxent by the government of uu execsfive sum for this service.

"The department will on January 1,

icxt, tile with the Interstate CommerceCommission its comprehensive plan ofservice, which will embody a recomHerniation looking to a reduction of the

rates but at thu same time assure tothe railroads a just and adequate com-

pensation for the service performed."Liberal chunges in the regulations,

niioh as reductions in rules of postageunil the cost of insurance, mcrcusea inthe size and weight limits, inauguration of the collect-ondeliver- feature,nnd the payment of indemnity for partial damage as well as loss, havebrought about a material growth inthe parcel post, as indicated in thevery satisfactory results for the fiscalyeur just closed."

AT ST. LOUS COLLEGE

Splendid Program Given At Clos-

ing of Year's First Term

(From Saturday Advertiser.)The spirit of Christmas time waa

shown at the Yuletide exercises heldat Nt. I.onin College yesterday morn-ing.

A large crowd of friends andstudents of the school filled everyavnilnble neat in the spacious hull.

The decorations, though far fromelaborate, showed how artistic was thetaste of those who had charge of thiswork. Palm branches and fcrna ofthe valley were the chief features ofthe decorations. Music was renderedby the Ht. Louis College orchestra, theselections having been chosen byBrother Francis. These Christmns en-

tertainments given by the Brothers ofMary have never failed to please theaudiences yenr after year.

At nine-thirty- , "Greeting," the firstnumber of the program wan played bythe orchestra. The rejuvenated Ht.I.ouis College choir made its initinl appenrunce, after a lapse of six yenrs, ina "Welcome Song," and though justlately brought together, these hundredodd voices mnde a favorable impres-sion. "II Deniderio, " a piano solo byCramer, wns rendered by WnltcrWaity.

The young pianist was warmly ap-plauded in his first appearance beforethe public. Paul YVirtst, a more exper-ienced player, eh owe for hia selectionthe "Sixth Nocturne," of l.eylmch,the rendering of which wan perfect.

A recitation by the first grade en-

titled "A Letter to Snntu," and"Christmas Chimes" a song, causedInnghter, the wee voices of the kiddiesiupf out of the nurserv, as well as theiracting, creating much amusement.

A little play, "Lost on ChristmnsEve," in three parta was the best num-ber of the day. In it were blendedfeelings of joy aud sadness which, asthe play progressed, waa also felt bythose witnessing it.

.Tamos Oilliland, in the role of Snnta.created a fine picture for the little chil-

dren and babies in the hall who, fromtime to time would lisp the words,"Santa Claus" and burst Out in pealsof laughter at his appearance.

The singing of young Holt, n Ind ofbut twelve years, who appeared in therole of n little newsie in the busy city,was well encored.

HIS LI EIS LONG BATTLE

GOVERNMENT

GIVES NO AID

(By JARED O. SMITH)Land left uncultivated, or fallow,

through one rainy season in Hawaii be-

comes no overgrown with pestilentialWeeds thnt much unproductive labormust bo spent uimn It, merely to createa seed bed. Left one year uncropped,gunva and lantmn, and weedy vinesand creepers uiriamed and ifumberlesa,creep into the Held. In three yearsall truce of cultivation lapses MotherKarth has taken back what man wouldhave wrested for bis own.

THe battle with weeds is more costlythan the battle with bues, after thecropa ara planted and the real busiuenso KWig things commences. Thecurse of "stnull farming" in the s

is keeping the land clean be-tween cropa, more than it is the ininuit- -

Ous land laws, lack of transportation,or want of knowledge of good methodsof farming. The average Japanese oroiner tanner knows what hewould like to do to get his land readyfor planting. His question is, howshall he live while ho is doing this pre-liminary work of preparation.

For the of the city dweller whoonly knows gua . a as jelly or charcoal,if thi farmer falls heir to a homesteadwell overgrown with the purest' shrubfrom which Jell and char may bo ex-tracted, it will cost him from 180 to.'ISO hours Of difficult manual lubor toclean aud clear an acre of land. TransInted into "labor days," this wouldmean from three to five weeks bardwork, or from eighteen to thirty-fiv-ten-hou- r days, just to clean his acrepatch nnd Jet reudy to plant something.

Now, thirty five dollars would buy anacre of farm land outright iiiTTgoodmany countries, but in Hawaii the"Guava Homesteader" ig merely ex-pected to spend this paltry sum, in hisown or another man's work, withoutacquiring title, nis tenure depending onthe payment1 of iinnuul rents and taxes.A Year of Grubbing

That preliminary expense, translatedback into time, would mean that if the

oinif.tcndcr hud been endowed with nten-acr- "farm" and had no capitalother than his own labor, it would takehim a full year to tin guava the bind,working more Sundays than is good forany mun wtlo religiously puts in sixdays a week at hard toil.

The question has been much dueus-ed- ,

how 'many ucres should a homesteader have. It in more important toknow what crops can be grown on aHawaiian acre that will return valuesover and above the cost of preparation,rent, taxfs, honso, water tank, tools!seed, planting, cultivation, poisons forpests, fertilisers to tuakc the cropsgrow, and then the harvest, and thepreparation of the crop for market, andtrunspurUMon'to market. .bven then,there are isellrtig charges to' be borneby the sifinll farmer.

Tho problem ia by no means ns simple!in Oovcrnr, land commissioners, urmyofficinls, nnd publicists interested in thewelfare of the land would have you be-

lieve. The much talked at and r.bo.if'small farmers" has a more difficult

'roblem to selve than these gentlemenwhose living expenses are assured. YourBackbone of the hind has no certaintyis to the morrow, for drougth and'end. ports, fire or his neighbors' catle, or the cunning of the buyer of bi.iroiluce when it finally ren.lies the

market, may lob him of the means topay back the costs of production,"here m no m v check nt the end ofthe month for your homesteader usnere is lor his official critics.

Amiy Demands ImpracticalAnd hence it comes about thut the

(mull fanner has done exacr y w iiat tarity lneri hunt does followed the lines

of least resistance. Army quurtormas- -

rs say t lie Hawaiian small farmerhould grow potatoes, but the army

contracts specify that tiie potuioosmust lie of u certain definite slnme undmeasurement, without cuts, bruises, orblemishes frua of soil and dnt, and

o... a luutte, of common knowledge, potatoes do not grow thut way,in ii.ma, i or uuy otiier h.inl. 'inciimy buyeis know this Us vt'iia uly usthe farmer.

The army buyers do not want pota-toes just us they come from tho farm,u Inn ttiey demuud are the fancy assorted potatoes culled -. oiu thu cropsgrow ii ley a hundred farmers. Abo,they wniit potutoes at the lowest con-irac- t

prices, thirty days' supply fromone mun. As has been remarked, ifHawaii were to be blockaded, the armywould have to forego potatoes and cutrice, which every Island bom whiteman knows is better than potatota.ai.ywuy. I'ntil that blockade comes,liowever, the army will proiiubly contiuue to demand, its spuds, and alsocontinue to scold the nautili farmer fornot raising tliein.

With beans, unions, Kay, oats, bacon,fresh nieut, eggs, poultry, nnd u multi-

plicity of things the Army suys thesmall farmer must grow for it, theplain facts are that the Army is notinterested in seeing to it that the farm-er receives a living wage in paymentfor his labor. Nor is the Governor ofHawaii.

Not nil " homesteads " are guava intested. The guivu likes lich soil amihence gunva land has often beenthought u little too good to waste outh homesteader. Some "homesteads"have only bitilnuu, Solomon's perch,boiiduc,' Hilo truss, uinnieaie, jo ii,keull, AND rocks. Don't forget therocks. Some homestead lauds have nowater ; uthcrs no fences; others noroads. There is always some good uegutive why certain Inn. is are inthe hoinostead class.

These other iveedy curses may redine the number of duys preliminarytoil neces.iuv to put the laud ia shapefor plunting. but be assured the laud

As W. I, Wells so aptly stated, citycivilians nnd soljiers take the lines olleast resistance. They boy where theycan buy the cheapest and let Hawaii'ssmall tanners do the worrying. Hencennd no long as consumers by on "linesof least resistance," meuuinc therebymainland-grow- produ.ee, neatly packedand well graded, the same privilegemust be ungrudgingly grauted the"small farmer."

He can only afford to grow producesaleable at his door, in ruuning lots usit is produced by his fields 'i be onlycrops he can uUord to grow are mine,piiieipplen, coffee, turo produce forwhich the local storekeeper will givehim credit because the market ia saw.Vrtaiuty of immediate sale of produce

An order for swiue plague bacteria,cabled to Berkeley, Cal., brought a lim-

The unconstitutional behavior ofKing Constantine, hin refusal to abidebv the terms of the Greek treaty withSerbia, nnd the rloiitinr of thw Aaeisions of M.

Objections may possibly be broughtthat the arguments up to this pointrest on technicalities in old treaties,and in order to justify our eetiua, atany rate morally, we must show thatwe were not acting against the wishesof the Greek people. To this may be

THIRTY-FOU-R PLAYERS USED

IN A SIFJSLE BASEBALL GAME

WHOSE

In these days of retrenchment, notonly in the matter of expenses, butalso in the number of players, it seems I

like stretching the imagination to saythnt in i game this year thirtv-fou- r

players figured In the hut score. If onethinks back only two decades ago, whenfew teams tarried more than a doienmen, this statement appears preposter-ous. However, on August ifl, 191U, int game at Boston between the BostonAmerican league team and the ChicagoWhite Box, ine Bostons used twenty-.io- b

mon and the Chieagos thirteen.This will appear n.orj remarkable whea.t is remembered that in the National

the number of playera for eachlearn is limited to twenty-on- e and inthe American League to twenty-five- .The Boston jnst touched the .NationalLeague limit and eame within fonr ofjoing to the extreme bounds set by theAmericsn League.

There were several games thi yearn which thirty or more playera weremplnyed. (in April "JO the Chicago and

Jiucinnsti box score showed thirtylayers in action, seventeen Cuba andhirteeii Heda, .Tea days later, on AprilK), the Detroit and Cleveland teamsireeented thirty-on- e playera, twenty,me by Detroit and ten by Cleveland.These figures; were beaten on July In,vhen the Chicago and Brooklyn teamsvorked ,thirty-tw- o playera, eighteen by'liicago and fourteen by Brooklyn.

8be is beyond all question the great-est of all fair Diane of the traps to-la-

and ia possibly the best trrpshntin the United Htates.

That 'a quite a compliment and arreat honor to pay any one, especiallyi woman, when you take into consider-itio-

that there are more than sixmndred thousand trapshooters in theJuited' States, but it is no inure thanifra. Topperweiu deserves.

No man has ever shot at two thousand targets ia one day and only onehas shot at one thousand. He is J. W.(iarrett, of Colorado Hprings, Cal., andhe broke four more turgeta than Mrs.Topperweiu did on J008. In her mag-nificent performance in MontgomeryMrs. Topperwein used only one gun,weighing seven and one-hal- f pounds,anil did not rest a minute, despite thefart that the barrel of the gun becameso warm a number of times that icewater had to be poured over it. Itwas difficult to hold, and Mrs. Topper-wein suffered a blistered hand, but shewas shooting better at the cldse thanwhen she began. Nhe broke ninety-ai- x

of the first one hundred targets andninety-eigh- t of the last one hundred.

The lowest score she had in any onehundred was ninety-live- , and her average for the 2000 was shade loss thanninety-eight- . Hbe compiled straightruns of 10(1, 111, J .10 and 2H0, which wemight say in conclusion is "some"shooting.
