forts. The action taken was q wise
one, to be prepared for any develop

Gold Minister Of War MiIIerand he
did not believe the Germans would
ever get within fifty miles Of Paris.
The general In chief believes the
force Of the army assault Is already
beginning to show indications Of be-
ing spent. Tho best Of the German
troops were concentrated on the
French left flank In a desperate effort
20 crush completely the combined
British-French armies. This they nave
failed to do. While the allies have
given way under the force Of over.
A~helmins numbers, they rave retreat
ed very slowly and their defense has
been extremely stubborn, with the re-
Dutnumbered those Of the allies. The
S~ar minister told his colleagues that
both General Jofre and Sir John
French, the British commander In
chief, agreed that the German as.
eauIts were neither so desperate nor
so long continued as they have been
In the earlier engagements.
Following the cabinet meeting M.
Louis MaIvy, the minister Of interior,
declared conditions were decidedly
improved. He stated that In Is opIn-
ion Paris must be ready for anything
that might happen and that this was
the real erason for all of the preeau-
tions that were being taken.
I'VE are making many sacrifices
and may have to make more, but
France will win In the end',' he said.
"The nation is passing through a
supreme crisis. We have everything
prepared for a long war. And in war
I'VE must be prepared to encounter re-
verses as we'll as TO win successes,
But the spirit Of French people Is un-
conouorabie.y
In order to facilitate the removal
of all people who desire to abandon
Paris, the war office today detailed
for use of the interior department,

twice that number tomorrow. There
was an enormous crush at tn. rail-
way stations today, requiring tire use

PARIS, Sept. 1.-Circumstanual
r1mors OF serious disaster to the
British expedition brought empnatle
denial from the war office today. II
was ,une~ouivocally denied that there
had been any actual reverse, although
there was no denial that the allied
battla front has again been pusneo
back in the north.
The entire German army on the
French centre and left, renewed the
general assault today and at last re-
ports It was raging with uninterrupt
ed ferocity. The Germans are anxious
to signalize the anniversary OF q
by a notable triumph and have stak'
ed everything on the strength OF the
blow now being delivered. The fight
ing 1t is agreed, equals In ferocity any
to date In the campaign but the war
Office insists that the defense lines
are holding as originally planned.
At today's extraordinary cablnet
session it was agreed there was no
immediate necessity to fear a siege
OF Paris. Nevertheless 1t was agreed
to continue to make every move zee
sary from a precautionary standpoint
and the work of manning the forts
with regiments for that purpose con-
tinues.
The exodus from Paris continued to-
day. the war office having furnished
half a hundred troop trains which are
being, run as sections of regular
trains. Other trains will be available
tomorrow, and it is believed all who
want to leave the city voluntarily
will be out by Thursday noon.

BE RE|NSTATED
New Civil Service Commission
to Let Matters ii Police
Department Stand

That Sheriff Jarrett will not rein
state Officers Robert Holbron and M.
Mendoza, but will allow his order OF
discharge to stand, was practically
made certain at a meeting Of the civil
service commission held last night
These officers we're discharged by
Jarrett during the tenure Of Office OF
the former civil service commissions
ers, the discharge being on the ground
that each was guilty Of conduct unbe-
coming an officer. They perfected
their appeals to the commission, but
hearing was never had. the old COM
missioners going out of Office soon
afterwards 1t has been a matter OF
considerable interest," as to whether
their cases would be heard by the new
commission. and how its revised rules
would affect it.
Under the revised rules the commits
sion may exercise an appellate iuris-
diction, as contradistinguishe from an
original Jurisdiction. in such cases. It
sits then as a court of appeal to de-
termine If the removing authority has
abused his discretionary power in dis
charging or suspending an officer. 1t
does not summon witnesses nor hear
evidence; 1t merely passes on the rec
ord of the hearing before. the remov-
ing authority Its function as a tri-
bunal is very much like the supreme
court
!. Judge Edlngs, chairman Of the com.
mission, believes the cases OF Holbron
and Mendoza have been ended so far
as the commission is concerned. and
that it will not be obliged to hear the
appeals. Sheriff Jarrett has not pre-
sented the commission with any new
renort or records in the case.
The commissioners decided to have
the new rules printed There is only
one set OF rules, that governing the
commission The other two sets, one
for the police and fire department,
have been abolished
The next meeting of the commits
sion has been set for March II. Judge
Edings stated that there was not. at
this time, enough business on hand to
warrant the commissioners convening
weekly.

ST. PAUL BANKER
SAYS FREE SUGAR
WILL help HAWAII
Pres. D. S. Culver of Nero. Ma
tionaI, Republican, is VIII
son Enthusiast
SEES LARGE HOLDINGS
BROKEN UP FOR FARMS
Maintains the Southern States
Also viii Reap Benefit by
Seeming Misfortune

Declaring that the removal of the
sugar tariff will prove "a godsend to
Hawaii and tha., when little more than
year has elapsed after the legisla-
tioii goes into effect the local mer-
chants and planters will be congratu-
lat,ng themselves on the advent of
prosperous times, d S. Culver, presi-
dent Of the Merchants National Bank
Of, st. Paul. Mimi, who. with Mrs.
culver, is visiting in Honolulu, during
an interview this morning pointed out
that great future is in store for
these islands principally through the
medium Of diversified agriculture. due
to the fact that the removal of the
tariff, in his opinion, will break up
the present large areas of plantation
land and open the door for the small
farmer.
Like most bankers, / am q Repub-
iican, said Mr. Culver. and Of course,
was one of those opposed to Woodrow
Wilson for the presidency. ] have
made q considerable study Of the mat
ter Of the removal of the sugar tariff
and, when l look forward and see the
great good which it Is going to do both
In Hawaii and In the southern states,
/ can come to no conclusion other
than that President Wilson is stu
dent for. pertaining to the removal of
the tariff. de must have foreseen the
benefits which would be derived from
It. and them worked along those lines.
In speaking Of the sugar tariff. Mr..
Culver cited a recent interview which
he had with a prominent banker of
New Orleans. "This banker was en-
fhusiastic bver the fact that, in the
southern states. the great areas now
set out IN cotton and sugar. and owned
by a few Individuals, would be broken
ND b. the einoval of the tariff. and
thar the small farmer would be able
to steD In and buy 30 or 40 acres of
land for agricultural purposes, ex-
planned MI. Culver "The monied men
of the South are beginning to see the
benefits which will be derived from
the removal of the tariff"
Mr.. Culver said that in these islands
today there is no chance offered the
small farmer. but that the day will
come when the people Of Hawaii will
be glad of the fact that the tariff was
removed The first year or two will
be hard, he pointed out, but afterward
the people will be wondering why
there ever was tariff on sugar.
Here in Hawaii you have the gar
den spot of the world" he said.
These islands should be made great
tourist resort Mere people should be
brought here, and more people should
be given employment In the begin
ming, there should be good roads. Take
your road around the island for in
stance: part of 1t is good and part
of 1t is very bad. It should all be
good. The majority OF the American
travelling public goes to Florida for
the winter. But Florida has nothing

LOCAL MEN HEAR
Bidding ON HIO
2. 0. not ENDED
Unofficial Advices That Con-
tract IS to Be Refigured Be-
cause Of High Cost

Unofficial adyices from Washington
have reached interested businessmen
of Honolulu to the effect that all bids
en- the Iiilo postoffice and federal
building will be called off, the con-
tract re-figured and new bids called
for.
Bids on the Hilo job were opened
in washington on January Is. The
estimated cost and appropriation was
S200, 900. The lowest bid sof the half
dozen made was that Of the Campbell
Building Company, Of Salt Lake, its
figure being $196,922 The Lord Young
Engineering Company of Honolulu
was third with a tender of s237. 500.
Local contractors and engineers
freely declared that the mainland con-
cern could not possibly carry out the
contract at $4,000 unless 1t was
prepared to stand a dead loss Of $780,
900 or $4,000. Recent advices COM
ing indirectly from Washington indi.
cate that the Salt Lake City firm has
discovered that it cannot do the work
at the figure named and does not
wish to be stuck" for the Job. 1t Is
believed here that new tenders will
shortly be called for and probably that
the plans for the building will be ma
terially modified sog that 1t can be-
built within 100000.
