The experience of the Madagascar
campaign has taught the French that
their soldiers drink entirely too much
spurious liquors to compete successfully
with the abstemious natives in the mat
ter of marching and enduring hardships
Alcohol in any shape is a great weak
ener of activity and endurance. This
fact is of great importance in view of
possible war with the Turks, whose re-
ligion prohibits their use of any kind of
alcohol.

aCOLD FACTS

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have
read and heard n great deal OF late
that gold stands on its own feet, regard
less of any legislation. Do you know Tor
do You know that 1t is not true) that In
| 1914 the English Parliament passed an act
which placed fixed price on an ounce
of gold, and that by virtue of said act OF
Parliament the Bank of England was COM
PEELED to receive all gold offered at said price
The article in which found the above state
ment referred TO some Cyclopedia as author
ity for the statement; l cannot remember
which one. If the statement is true, what
is the use of all this bosh we hear and read
about the intrinsic value Of gold? always
have had and still have great confidence In
what THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has to say
on any question, and / now hope and expect
TO receive square and explicit answer to
my question. "Cold facts" are what the
people want in order to intelligently deal
with those matters.-MICHAEL HICKEY,
National Home, Wisconsin.
We haven't the time to look up the
citation to which our comrade refers,
because it is not essential to the discus
sion. 1t will save time to admit what he
saws to be true-that the British Parlia-
ment ordered that the Bank of England
should pay a fixed price for all gold
offered it. What then follows: AS there
was but a single standard in Great
Britain, the bank was simply ordered to
pay so much gold for so much gold. 1t
would be nonsense to say that it was
compelled to pay out more gold than it
received, and equally nonsensical to
direct it pay out less than it got. Any
body can see this.
Our comrade has simply gotten the
cart before the horse. Parliament does
not directly fix price on the metal.
1t merely directs that SO many coins
shall be made out Of certain quantity
of bullion, of certain fneness. 1t
has directed that troy pound of silver
should be divided into &C shillings, and
that troy ounce of gold shall be coined
into e3 IFS. 1O1d. This amount is
given to any man who takes quantity
Of gold to the mint, and waits until it
is coined for him. But the Bank of
England will pay him at once e3 It's. Cd.
for each ounce of gold, and he generally
prefers to take this to waiting for the
mint to coin his bullion.

THE JAPANESE THEATRE.
The Attendance is Small but the
Performance Interesting.

There was but a small attendance
at the Japanese theatre on Nuuanu
street Saturday evening. Those who
we're present however seemed to en-
JOY the play, which, as explained by
the ticket man, was based on ancient
history. The stage was decorated
with Oriental characters. On the
mauka end was stationed the
orchestra which consisted Of Japa
nese woman with an instrument
somewhat resembling a banjo, and
two male companions The males
chanted at intervals while the
female thrummed on the instru.
ment. There were two or three
duels between male actors and the
proverbial female sympathizer with
the wounded always appeared on
the scene. The costumes OF Kimono
were pretty and in some cases elabo-
rate to degree. Powder and paint
were prominent on the visages OF
the actors and actresses.
The dressing rooms were in the
rear. Those who did the touching
up were all females. The actors are
dressed in one apartment and pow
dered and painted in another room,
There are three attendants in each
apartment. When ready to go GU
the actors await the signal which is
the striking OF tom tom.

SATURDAYS BALL GAME.
Comes Near Breaking Up in q Gen.
eral Row.

The Unknowns wrested the first
game OF the League baseball series
from the Stars on Saturday after
noon in great style. The attendance
was not very large, owing probably
to the fact that the game was not
advertised. Nevertheless the boys
put up fairly good ball. The I'M
knowns wore white and black with
the letter u on the shirt. The Stars
looked pretty in brown shirts and
trousers and white caps, = star being
prominent on the shirt front. Both
teams seemed to be in fine fettIe
and after each had fifteen minutes
practice the hell was rung for the
game. Captain Thompson OF the
Unknowns won the toss and took
the field. The Stars failed to score
in the first and second innings, but
in the third Willie Wilder managed
to cross the home plate through a
Misunderstanding between the ball
aud Unknown felders, In the third
inning George Angus scored a base
hit, stole second and was sent home
by daisy hit by Willie Wilder.
The last named was sent home by
Harry Wilder. The Stars failed to
score again until the fifth inning
when Lionel Hart Willie Wilder aud
W. G. Wilder each scored. No adj
vance was made by this nine until
the eighth inning when John Gan
eel, first base man, drove the sphere
to deep center making a thre chase
hit and later coming home leisurely
on a passed ball. This made the
Stars total number OF runs, 6.
The Unknowns who went one bet
ter than the Stars scored their runs
as follows: Arthur Miranda secured
first base on balls, stole second the
ball being thrown over the second
baseman's head and covered the
home plate before the ball could be
recovered. The second witnessed
comedy Of errors on the part Of the
Stars, which resulted in Geo. Dun.
can, Geo. Wood, Chris Willis aud
James Thompson piling up four
runs. Thompson made a beautiful
drive in this inning. He hit for
home run and got it. Geo. Wood
made three Dagger in the fourth
inDing an was assisted home. The
Uuknowns failed to score until the
last half OF ths ninth inning when
Tom Pryce made the winning run,
tho score standing Z to 8 in favor OF
the Unknown.
The score was as follows:
1924 5 7S9
Stars. ........ 0O2O3 OOl Go
Unknown .....1 100000 II
Several good sized substantial
kicks were made by Captain Camel
and players OF the Stars over deci-
sions by the field umpire Henry
Kaia. In the seventh inning the
umpire called Hart out at second.
The judgment was appealed to Harry
Whitney, and the latter upheld
Kaia's decision. Kaia was SO elated
over this action that he forget him.

players were quite incensed over the
umpire's actions.
