fighting was also a factor.
London.-The Central News says
that it is reported in Dieppe that
1000 members of Gen. Won GlUck's
army and the general and his staff
have been surrounded and captured
in Northern France.
The war Office says that it has no
information that would tend to con-
firm the report in any way and it is
not generally credited, although it is
admitted that many stragglers from
Won Kluck's army have been cap
tured.
Petrograd.-That the proposed in
VasiOn of Hungary by a strong Rus
sian body has been definitely aban-
doned was intimated here today. It is
realized by the Russian general staff
that the German resistance will be
very strong and it has been definitely
decided that the entire Russian field
army, first and second line troops,
will be retained for the capture Of
Berlin.
The car is determined that Berlin
shall be taken II 1t costs the Russian
empire it's entire fighting strength.
There is. a growing feeling here
that Austria will soon admit her in
ability further to continue the war.
The fact that her main army has
been crushed and it's capture is con-
sidered strong possibility means
she will soon be no longer an active
factor in the war.
Berlin, via The Hague.-The only
statement dealing with the general
war situation in the west obtainable
at the war Office today declared that
the general fighting still continued
with no decisive result. The efforts
of the French to break through the
German lines and isolate some of the
armies have failed, it is announced.
No details of the general fighting
at any point are obtainable.
1t is announced that in East Prus-

a serious stand against the pursuing
French columns.
They are giving action, chiefly in
the nature Of rear guard actions, COW
cred by artillery, but it is plain that
the objective Of the Germans is to re-
organize their scattered columns and
attempt a defense in the entrenched
lines prepared by the sappers north
Of the Aisne.
Meanwhile the allies have taken
many prisoners. Entire regiments
are reported to have been cut off
from the main retreating columns
and captured.
So swift has been the pursuit of
the British-French forces on the left
that at some points the pursuing col
umn, rushing along paralleling roads,
have been able to reach the cross
roads ahead of the Germans and cut
them off and compel their surrender.
The total number of the prisoners has
not yet been reported to headqUar-
tiers.
That the army of the crown prince
is being hard pressed IN the EFFORT to
drive it north and thus relieve Yer
dun is known here. The Germans
tried to envelop. the seven forts that
lie between VerdUn and TOUl. These,
however, have all held out with sin
gle exception.
It is not believed here that another
decisive battle is possible for several
days. The Germans are short of am
munition and they will have difficulty
reforming their exhausted army.
Their rear guard, however, is putting
up a strong defense and it may be
able to withstand the efforts of the al

Of MAUI
DISASTER PROVES
merely A MYTH
Report from Fl. Kamehamehs
Still Remains a Mystery
May Have Been Sampan

"Maul loading sugar at keaIla," was
the brief and welcome message flash
ed to Honolulu by wireless at 7:52
this morning. II set at rest all fears
for the safety Of the lnter-lsland
steamer Maui, and her complement Of
a. officers and men who left the polt
for the Garden Island shortly after 5
o'clock last evening.
All efforts to reach the operator at
NawiIiwili last evening proved unsuc-
cessfuI. The first Of ! series Of In
quiries sent to the station this morn
ing brought forth the glad tidlngs that
the Maui had come to an anchorage at
keaIia, the sugar port for the Maka-
well Sugar Company before 5 o'clock
this morning. Latter information re-
ceGved at the steamship Office an
nounced that the vessel had met with
no trouble on the voyage from Homo
lulu to Kauai.
The Star-Bulletin at once issued a
bulletin announcing the safety Of the
steamer and her crew and assisted IN
relieving the terrible tension to which
the families and relatives Of officers
and seamen had been subjected to for
the 12 hours following the first report
of the disaster reported to have oc-
CURED about s o'clock last night off
5arber's Point.
MYSTERY NOT YET CLEARED.
That a large Japanese fishing sam
pan may have met with disaster was
the opinion generally held by ship
ping men at the port following the
announcement that the steamer Maui
had safely reached her destination.
Both the Pacific Fishing Company
the Hawaii Fishing Company, who
operate with but few exceptions all the
power and saif boats In the island
trade, announced that as far as could
be learned at an early hour this after
noon their vessels were accounted as
safe. Manager M. YaEashiro CT the
Pacific Fishing Company stated to a
Star-Eulletln representative that no

company had no vessel due to return
from the Garden Island.

throw light in different ways and
from different angles on the situa-
tion. He stated that the city and
county will have shortage of $685..
800 for the current year. This is due
to the great reduction already shown
in tax assessments, and the amount,
which is about $4,000, the city and
county will be obliged to turn over
to the territory, as the first lien on
the taxes, for the maintenance of
schools, sinking fund and interest on
bonds. He went on to state, by way
of explanation, that when the budget
was made up the estimate revenue
was based on an $S5,667 900 appraise
ment. Yesterday afternoon, he said,
he was informed by Territorial Trea-
surer Conkling that the appraisement
would be only about 77,QDo, 900, diff.
ference of more than $4,000, 900, and
that there is some likelihood of it go-
ing even less. This reduction in tax
values represents .css of $53,S00 to
the city and county, or $6,666 mil
lion.
This present budget was prepared

LONDON, Sept. 10.

LONDON, Sept. 10.
The battle of the Aisne, which is
now in it's seventh day with two long
battle fronts in virtually the same
position they were n week ago, will
be decisive Both sides realize this
may be the crucial conflict of the war.
The following official statement was
given out by the War Office this morn
ing:
The situation remains unchanged.
counter attack by the Germans
against the first division was de-
liverod during the night and was
driven back. The weather is bad
with rain falling continuously.
The allies are now losing as heavily
as did the Germans in their unsucCess-
full effort to penetrate the French lines
at v'try-le-Francois and along the
Marne. The Germans now have the
advantage of an entrenched position.
The British losses in the present
fighting exceed any in previous battles
either in the successful retreat from
Belgium or in the offensive operations
on the Marne.
Some of the greatest regiments in
the British army have been badly cut
up in the last three days of fighting.
They have had to bear the brunt not
only Of the German attempts to re-
sumo the offensive. but also of what
ever offensive movements have been
undertaken on the left
Enough is known Of the disposition
of the German troops to make sure
that it is not rear guard action to
cover retreat on the contrary the
Germans are depicting their garrisons
in Belgium to bring reinforcements TO
the front and are rushing food and
ammunition to the Kaiser's forces
With two superb armies facing each
other over so small an intervening
space the first slackening Of resistance
will mean retirement and the posi-
biHty of breach in the line through
which the soldiers of the adversary
may flow
The fighting Is taking place under |
the worst conditions possible Torren- .
