Price Asked for Mahuka Site
Regarded Excessive by
Asst. -SeCy. Newton
By C. S. ALBERT.

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondencel
WASHINGTON D. c.. Mar. L.
The site for a new public building in
Honolulu must not cost in excess of
Sa25, 900. If sufficient ground cannot
be secured on the Mahuka site at that
aggregate figure, another location will
be selected.
This seems to be the ultimatum
which the treasury officials, acting
on advice furnished them by the su-
pervising architects office, viii give
to the people of Honolulu Assistant
Secretary Newton who has charge
of all public building matters. frank
ly informed the Star-Buiietin-s CORES
pendent that final decision had been
virtually reached 70 pay no moro
than $425.e00 for satisfactory and
desirable site. He said the sum of
S525,0G0 demanded for tae Mahuka
site would not be paid. He regarded
the price asked for that land as ex-
Cessiye.
The conclusions reached by the
treasury department authorities is
largely based on letter written by
United States District Attorney Jeff
McCarn to the department; o. Justice.
He was submitting statement con-
corning the present status OF condem-
ration proceedings In effect he de-

1t was made plain that treasury de-

GERMAN HORsEMEN
o. HOLDING TRENCHES
Cavalry of Emperor's Army Used for
Infantry Work In Many .
Places. -. rH

Berlin, Nov.9 (via The Hargue and
London) German cavalry has been
called upon in the present war to per-.
form duties of a character differing
widely from those emphasized In
manoeuvres a few years ago.
Only rarely has there been an op-
portunity to launch the thrilling cav
airy charges then favored. Instead, the
high booted horsemen frequently are
used both in the east and west to hold
trenches and fill out the lines of the
infantry.
Emperor William, in an address to
officers of a cavalry division which he
reviewed in Belgian town, said:,'
"I learned with pleasure that the.
cavalry fought brilliantly. The horse
men in this war have been entrusted
with tasks such as I never believed
possible. 1t is perhaps my fault that
the training in times Of peace never
included the duties which the cav
airy are here performing. The cav
airy fought with bayonets and en-
trenching tools and Gen. Won Marwltz
tells me that the infantry are proud
to charge with their brothers OF the
cavalry. ...
81 hope, however, that the cavalry
may yet have an opportunity to use
their lances If we succeed, with the
help of the dear God who already has
permitted us so many successes IN
surrounding the enemy" - '''' .".
