ASSOCIATED PRESS FIRST IN WAR NEWS !

Nothing demonstrates more conclusiyely how
the war correspondents have been kept away
from the actual fighting in Turkey than the CON
flicting reports sent out from ConstantinopIe,
Belgrade, Sofia, and Athens. With unlimited
money at their command, the special correspond
ents of the great European and American papers
have found that Influence counts for practically
nothing with the stern generals of the Balkans
or the courteous, smiling and nimoyable Otto
man commanders. - - +.
Turkey has had to hide. even from her own
people the military disasters that have come SO
repeatedly in the past month 1t is said that
when the grey gunboats from Athens dropped
anchor in the Bosphorus, the people in Constan-
tinople believed that they had been captured by
the Turkish fleets. The news that Nazim Pasha,
the war minister, was losing. on every move he
made, did not get outside the Porte; even the
Sultan was not told of the steady series of re-
verses until the invaders. were camped outside
the walls of Tchatalja. 49,. .@.~

Denmark's prouction of margarine
by the twenty-seven margarine fac
tories was 7S,O43.63O pounds last year,
while importations were 1906, 800
pounds more than expectations. SO that
total consumption fas S1,35O,56o
pounds, or 1882 pounds per capita.
The Danish production and cpnsump-.
ton of margarine have both been in,
creasing during the last few years
A remarkable change in the use OF
raw materials has taken place In the
margarine industry. While for in
stance, in 1908. about 70 per cent of
the raw materials used in the manu-
facture of margarine in Denmark con-
sisted of fatty substances Of animals
and 30 per cent of fatty substances OF
vegetables, the proportion is now the
opposite, so that the fatty substances
OF vegetables used now amount to
about 70. per cent: This change APP
pears to be result of the high prices
of cattle of late years. Most of the
row materials are imported from
abroad, especially those of animals,
while considerable quantities of coco
and sesame oils are pressed by the

MATERWORks i CITY FUNCTION.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir:-I would like to inquire why
the municipal waterworks and munie-
ipal sewerworks of the city of Homo
lulu are under the direct and detailed
control of the territorial government.
I have yet TO learn of any other
city's waterworks in the United States
being controlled by government 9TH

If conditions here demand that mu-
nicipal works be Under extraneous
control, then they indeed must be pc

EDITOR

stories written by the keen and veteran CORE
in the arts of campaigning as the Bulgarian
strategists,-would reach the enemy. Most Of
the correspondents who joined the Balkan Allies
were planted either in Sofia or Belgrade and
told to stay there. -. "
Z Pretty soon the Vienna ReicIlpost started pub
fishing wonderful articles from a correspondent
by the name of Lieut.. Wegener, who was for
weeks credited with being the only reporter act
ually at the battlefront. His articles began to
attract International attention, and the Vienna
paper ''syndicated"' them and they were pub
lished by a number of American papers.
, Then a group of war.wise writer's in London
undertook to "show up" Wegener. They pro-
duced proof that he could not have witnessed
some of the events he described, cast doubt on
Others and declared that knowingly or unknow-
ingly he had been used by the Bulgarian staff to
send out reports calculated to mislead the Turks.
Hawaii's very remoteness from the scene of
conflict has operated to make the news pub
lished here authoritative. False reports are
sifted from true and by the time the informa-
#tion is sent here by Associated Press, il is as
nearly the exact truth as war news can be. The
Associated Press news of moves in tile great In
ternational game published every afternoon by
the Star-Bulletin has been remarkably accurate.
In this respect the Associated Press has easily
led other agencies, as all the newspapermen of
the city have realized from the start Moreover,
the Associated Press has been able to see the
'bg news in advance. The crisis in Europe a
week ago. as we'll as the definite move for peace
made last Friday and SATURDAY, were given here
by the Associated Press through the Star-Bulle-
tin. This afternoon service has led in accuracy
and prophecy throughout the war The Asso-
ciated Press is again demonstrating that il is
the greatest news-gathering and distributing
agency in the world.

Thirty-six needy families residing In
Honolulu have been supplied with food
and clothing during the past week by
the Associated Charities, being the re-
suit of the generous giving OF the
pupils of the various schools through
out the city on Thanksgiving Day.
According to Mrs.3A. C. Jordan, man
8 ger of the society, the donations this
year have by far exceeded those OF
years before, and she is now able to
report that all but five Of the families
who are in need OF such aid az can
come through the association. have
been helped.
81 received nearly twenty-five dol
lars in money from the different
pupils, besides the food and CLOTHING"
said Mrs. Jordan. And this / dis
tributed among the families mostly In
need of it in order that they might
purchase fresh meat for their Thanks
CRYING dinner. I am glad to report
that all the families which l have on
NJ, list, who are in need of help, re-
ceived their share of the donations by
the pupils and the other friends OF the
association. 81
Another thing which tie Associated
Charities looking init is the tenement
question. and many families who re-
side in these tenements are receiving
help through the society. One case, es-
pecially, has been brought to the at
tention of Mrs. Jordan in the form OF
Spanish woman with four children,
one of which is a baby about two
n.onths old. The father died some
time ago and the boy has since had
to 60 to work to do what he could to-
ward the support of the family The
mother is unable to work, and at pres
fent a part of the rent for che place In
which they live Is being paid by the
Associated Charities. which is also
helping in various other ways. Cases
ELf absolute deatitution like this one
are continually presenting themselves
before the association.

1t is common cry on the part of Socialist
