HILO, July 10.-Richard l. Prince
is Dne of those who views with
alarm" the absence of adequate pro-
lection for bathers at Cocoanut island
and is the only citizen with sufficient
strength of purpose to formally call
the supervisors attention to it. He
wrote a letter to the board this week
reminding them of the recent drown
ing of DR.. Edward Armitage at the
island. and suggested the advisability
of several things. chiefly the establish
ment of a lifeguard at the bathing re-
sort
He also advised the inauguration of
a movement to establish a live saving
society in Hilo. He didn't definitely
explain the void such an organization
might fill in local society, but con
yeyed the general impression it might
be delegated to drum up funds for the
lifeguard's salary or provide life saw
ing apparatus The only cognizance
the board took of the communication
was to refer it to the board OF trade,

For three hours previous to the

ATLANTIC SERVICE SUSPENDE
Wholesale Cancellations of Sailings
= Occur in Shipping World.

New York, Aug. 1.-Wholesale
cancellations of transatlantic sail
ings, recalls by wireless of European
bound vessels a day or two out OF
port and suspension altogether of
transatlantic service by three lines,
we're announced in rapid succession
here today.
The North German Lloyd line,
which announced yesterday that no
more vessels would sail from either
side of the Atlantic, completed its
tie-up by ordering back to port today
three vessels-the Friedrich der
Crosse, the Grosser Kurfuest and the
Neckar-which sailed on July ~
from Baltimore, New York and Gal
weston, respectively. In addition the
line ordered the steamer Willehad,
now at the British port at Montreal,
to proceed at once to Boston and re-
main there till further orders.
The Russian-American line an
nounced the suspension of its trans
Atlantic service. The only vessel OF
this line in American waters now is
the Car, which was to sail next Tues
day for Rotterdam and Libau. The
steamers Russia and Kursk, both at
Libau, and expected to sail prior to
August 25 for New York, have been
requisitioned by the Russian navy,
the line announced.
Sailings of the seven vessels COM
prising the Atlas service of the Ham
burg-American line between New
York, the West Indies and Panama
have all been cancelled. The Allie
mania. of this service, which sailed
yesterday would be recalled by wire
less during the day, it was expected.
Of the other transatlantic lines,
only the International Mercantile Ma
rine was sure that sailings would not
be cancelled or interrupted. Officials
of the company asserted this fore
noon that all vessels scheduled would
depart on time
