Make 4 Kick the Policy {.
of the United States

"ashin gton, .. c., July S.-That at
least three and perhaps more Of the
Central and South American republics
will make a concerted protest Of some
kind at the coming International con-
ference Of American states at Buenos
Ayres, against the Central American
policy of the United States is the pos
sibility being discussed in diplomatic
circles here.
Rumors TO this effect have been per-
sistent Of late in quarters usually we'll
Informed and some responsible Latin
American representative admitted
their approximate truth, though no one
would permit himself to be quoted. The
rumors have lead to lively exchange Of
information among the Central and
South American diplomats here. Offi-
cials of the State Department are
known to be watching the situation
closely.
Favor an Alliance
Some OF the more radical Spanish
Americans are said to be in favor OF
a Latin-American alliance against the
United States. 1t is generally conced-
ed, however, that formal action OF this
nature is unlikely. The most that can
be regarded as probable is that the
republics Interested will give the Unit
ed States to understand diplomatical
ly that the principles represented in
the attitude Of this government on the
east coast OF Nicaragua will not be ac-
cepted willingly as part of the inter-
national law Of the Americas.
Not withstanding a recent statement
by the Venezuelan government on the
subject, it is still reported here that
the Venezuelan delegates will be the
leaders in protesting against the atti
tude of the United States and that
at least two other governments VIII
share the responsibility of the move
ment
Doubt exists in Washington as to
just what step Of the American gov
ernment has been distasteful to the
sister republics. The only concrete
point mentioned in the connection was
first raised by Madriz. president of
the government at Managua, when he
protested against the action Of Ameri-
can marines in preventing an attack by
the Madriz forces upon the city OF
Bluefields.
Nadriz Kicked First.
This was done on the ground that
American interests are extensive there,
and followed the precedent of the Brit
ish government in prohibiting fighting
in Greytown on similar grounds. Lat
er the Venus was prohibited by the
American officials from firing on Blue
fields
"According to international law"
said MadriZ in a note to the American
consul at Managua mo neutral gov
ernment may impede or disturb in
time Of war legitimate military oper-
ations of belligerents. Foreigners
equally with natives are subject to the
contingencies Of these operations"
Madriz not only meant this to be
communicated to the American govern
ment. but has protested to every Cen
trail and South American government
against the attitude of the United
States.
On the diplomacy of the American
delegates to the conference may de-
pend largely the outcome OF the mat

Why All Business Men Should
Advertise!

The business men who can do without some form of
publicity to make known their work their wares are
scarce indeed There is just about excuse for not
Advertising and that simply that the business is al
ready big the at its head If there is in the
makeup of the man ability to grow, then as long as he
lives ne will seek for more business, seek to cover
bigger field.
Many business is in rut today simply because the
proprietor didn't advertise In the first place, the man
VINO adverses calls the attention of the public to some
phase of his business of which he is proud If it is
commonplace that it does not have phase of which
70 be proud then naturally it will not do to advertise.
In other words, advertising is stimuant Just
suppose merchant who never has seen his name in
big print steps into his store tommorrow morning de-
ermned to write an ad. If he looks around and sees
only dirty shelves and stock that is several seasons old
Inspiration to write will quite likely be wanting And
what would be the use? Let him take off li coat 90
over that store and that stock compare his 80 Is and
nus treatment of customers with that Of his npe i
tors and when he finds point where he has them al
hears him!

Colonel Charles Marshall, who

z. bee and who went through the
battles OF the war with his chief

his experience with q new horse: ::
His old horse had been shot from
under him in the fight Of the pre-
vious day, and he had taken posses
sion Of an animal that seemed TO
suit the work. In the battle few
hours later he was riding across a
field in which there were numerous
stumps.
Suddenly the performance open
ed. The guns roared, and the air
was filed with smoke and noise.
Before Colonel Marshall knew
what was happening the horse had
his four feet on one Of the stumps
and was gayly dancing in a circle.
In the meantime the firing was in
creasing, and the situation was any
fhing but comfortable. But the
horse kept on as if he were enjoy
ing it.

Colonel Marshall, "that found the
horse had belonged to a circus and
had been trained to do this act
amid the firing of cannon"

The colt was saddled, and Lord

his mouth was perfection.

"Wather, is it?" said Delaney,

Bread 10 TO us-
What bread is to the American or
European poi is TO the native Ha-
wsiisn. No meal Is complete with
out it, and for the great majority
of the natives it forms the princi-
pal article OF diet. While they prob
ably could at the present time live
without this accustomed dish, the
time once was, before the advent Of
the whites to the islands and the in
troductiond new foods, that life
without u would at least have been
precarious.
Poi is made from the tuberous
root OF the taro plant, a species Of
the caladium family, Of which the
well known elephant ear plant is
also a member. The tuber, which
averages in size that Of large
sweet potato, is baked and after
ward pounded up with water until a
smooth white paste is obtained,
much resembling wheat -four
paste, except that the color is
pale pink OF purple, dependent
upon the variety OF taro used. This
paste is allow ed to slightly ferment,
or sour, when it is ready for use.
In olden times each family prepared
its own poi, the work being done by
the men, as in fact were most other
cooking operations. At the present
time poi factories in which machin-
cry grinds the taro and mixes it on
large scale have largely supplsnt-
ed the old hand method. The Chi
nese of the territory have come to
be the leading manufacturers of the
product.
Many of the white residents OF
the islands eat poi to almost the ex-
tent as the natives, but the taste is
largely acquired, and strangers sell
dom care for it. Poi has a high
food value, nd, since it formed the
principal ar, Gle OF diet Of the old
Hawsiians, some persons have cred
tied it with the splendid physical
development of the race
Poi was alvays eaten from wood
en bowls, or ealabasiles, and was
conveyed to the mouth by the fin
gers, one, two or three being en-
pIoyed, according to'the consistency
Of the food, winch also establishes
