BRITISH AND JAPANESE WARSHIPS ARE REPORTED
RUSHING SOUTH TO MEET GERMANS IN THE PACIFIC
ALLIES CLAIM GERMAN ATTACK EAST AND WEST NOW WEAKENING
Is The Geiier Making
Plans to Sail From,
Port Of Honolulu?

Startling reports relative TO The
movement Of TIE Japanese and German
naval visitors At the port Of Honolulu
are the order os the day Throughout
this city. The latest available refers
TO the proposed action Of the com.
nnander Of the German gunboat Geier.
It's coed story.
According to prominent Honolulan
who had recent occasion to pay visit
10 the Geier, that vessel 10 preparing
for the plunge 20 the open sea. He
says: The Geier 10 areasing her tor
pedoes and 10 ready to make the run
for the open in the near future. | am
OF the opinion that II 10 the intention
Of the Geier to put TO sea, make an
effort to torpedo the Japanese cruiser
Hlzen and In the event Of failure in
this purpose TO put 20 shore and beach
the vessel.
sSuch action would permit the com.
nianding officer Of the German vessel
exeusine himself for. not interning and
also for not getting killed.
''it is generally understood that all
officials Of the German navy are pro.
hibited from internins unless they are
ordered 50 to do by the national gov.
ernment. To act without these In.
structicns, according to the German
naval code, ! am Informed, is for the
commander to ostracize himself social.
ly and do not believe any German
would take such ehanees.p
The only point that mitigates against
the, truthfulness OF this story is the
counter report that the Geier has no
torpedo tubes and would be unable ia
take drastic action against the enemy
without the aid Of first class slab.

P|NKHAM WILLING
TO TRADE BONDS
FOR new WHARF
Waimea Can Have Improve.
I11ent if SIG, 600 IS Expend-
ed in "Unsold" Issue

If the citizens of Kauai want q new
wharf at Waimea, they can have it,
provided they buy $4,000 worth of the
new territorial bonds. This is the de-
cision reached by Governor Pinkham
and announced today by his new cab
met official, Treasurer G. J. Mccarthy.
For several years the citizens have
been urging the territory to build q
permanent pier at Waimea. They are
to have their desire granted at last, II
the funds can be raised.
The last legislature set aside an
appropriation Of So, 900 for harbor and
wharf improvements on the Garden
island. AS yet ncle OF this amount
has been expended, for the very good
reason that the money has not been
available. The board Of harDor COM
mfssioners decided some time ago that
this sum should be expended in erect
ing q good pier OF Waimea, Ind 1t
was expected that the money would
be at hand from the sale Of the new
bond issue in The East before this
time.
The failure to make sale in the
States has necessitated some further
delay, though the governor has now
agreed that the Improvement shall be
made II sufficient bonds can be seId
at home. When tho bonds arrive from
New York, which should be within the
next week or two at most, they viii
be ready for sale over the counter q

JAMES A. RATH
ISOPPOSED To
BILLY SUNDAY
HeadW0rker of Palama Settle
ment Would Prefer That Sum
Be Otherwise Expended

Yoicing his protest against the move
ment to bring BILLY" Sunday, the
noted evangelist. to Honolulu next
year, James A. Rath,, headworker of
the Palama Settlement, in statement
to the Star-Bulletin this morning, said
that, in his opinion. and In the opinion
of the Palama Settlement, the S10, 900
which it has been estimated will be
the expense Of bringing Mr.. Sunday
here, could be. used to q far more
greater advantage II expended in, local
anti-tnberculosis, social service or play
ground work. I'D
At meeting recently of the cotin-
Gil OF the Mter-C Church Federation,
which organization started the move
ment to bring Mr.. Sunday to Homo
lulu. Wilfred Humphreys, boys work
director OF the Palama Settlement,
made the statement that 1t was the
idea of the settlement that the money
which would be needed to bring Mr..
Sunday here could be expended to
greater advantage In other forms OF
local work. He voiced the sentiments
which Mr.. Rath has. given the Star
Bulletin.
= !
At the same meeting, letter was
read from Bishop Henry Bond Res
tarick to the effect that the Episcopal
churches Of Honolulu, would not join in
the movement to bring Mr.. Sunday
hereA
81 agree with Bishop Restarfck,' 2
said Mr.. Rath today. s.'I am not in
favor of emotionalism IN religion, nor
of violence of speech such as Is Gus
tomary with BILLY Sunday. I believe
that steady, everyday work counts
more in the long run. believe that
the money which it win take to bring
Mr.. Sunday to Honolulu could be bet
ter spent in forwarding the antistuber-
culosis work; 1t could be expended to
a better advantage IN playground work
or some. other form of social service
work :,

Bruges ultimately became the metropo-
lis Of the worlds commerce. Seven.
teen privileged trading companies.
from seventeen different kingdoms,
settled there. while its importance was
such that twenty ministers from for.
eign courts at one time had mansions
within its walls.
The belfry Of Bruges is probably the
most famous in the world. 1t was
built at the end Of the thirteenth cen
fury. 1t is 1853 feet high and pos

symbols Of their freedom.
