messages or encouragement and in
strnction were delivered by the ,a6oye
gentlemen OF the various business
sessions. Complimentary to the
guests, the agents present at
the meeting brought in business in the
amount OF $20i,500,' as evidence of
what they could do on q special oc-
casion," General Agent Mattison hay-
ing sent out call for ''demonstra-
tion" for the benefit OF the visiting
general agents on Monday, the 10th,
just one week previous to the date of
the meeting
I Among other announcements which
created much applause, none was so
enthusiastically received nor seemed
to bring message more stimulating
and encourSgng, than the one by
Mr.. Drew that the officers of the COM
HnaGy %0ai1 so0n recommend 20 the a.
rectorS substantial increase in the
company's regular dividend schedule,
to take effect January /, 1918. The
recommendation by the managing of
hcials of the company OF such an in
crease will, OF course, assure it's
adoption by the directors, and Mutual
Renefit policyAolders can confidently
look forward to q further decrease in
the cost of their insurance protection
in this company, without reference to
any additional special dividends
which may within the next few years
be paid. In this connection, 1t was
shown that the total dividends ap-
portioned by the Mutual Benefit for
payment during 1914 was nearly
double the amount paid on all policies
In 1909, only five years ago, or S.
170,737, as against $2,6O3,72l In 1909.
In the amount for 1914 Is included n
special dividend OF 1851. $40, the third
paid by the company within The past
five years.
On all sides were heard

They're still coming in "; every
mail-those answers in the Star-Bul-
letin's baseball contest.
The Star-Bulletin contest closed at
O'Clock last night, but the answers
! didn't step. More than SO We're re-
ceiyed this morning, and, of course,
under the rules they could not be con-
sidered in the list of awards.
When the; contest ended last eve
ming and the, judges went to work to
award the prizes; they were confront
ed with huge pile of letters and
packages from all over Oaha. All
yesterday the mail and messengers
brought replies. More than $50 were
in the mass when the judges went to
work.
At the outset 100 were disqualified
for violating the very plain rules Of
the ccntest. The violations were un.
Intentional, of course, but in fairness
to others who had observed the rules
relating to the addressing of the an
swers, ETC., those who had not OBJ
served the regulations could not be
considered as competitors.
Some of the replies were sent in so
hurriedly that the senders had for
gotten to give their names.
But the Overwhelming majority Of
the competitors had followed the rules
faithfully, showing that they had read
the baseball ad page very carefully
and thoroughly.
Neatness. accuracy and earliness in
sending in the answers were the thres
main points considered 1t was soon
discovered that many scores of COM
petitors were about on par as to
these three points. Bnt many had
shown great originality in placing the
pictures Of the FIVE famous big league
players in striking designs and this
was also considered factor in max
ing the. awards. ~---'
The wide range of the awards shows
the great popularity of the contest as
well as the wide range Of Star.Bulle :
tin readers. First place was won by
a Honolulu man, second place by a.
bright young chap of this city, third
place by Miss Emma Markham, fem,
mime fan, and so on. Out-of town
pOAuLS are represented In Tie dWaFuS,
some good work being done by COM
petitors away from the city. 1t should
be said that these were, in a sense,
handicapped because they had less
time in which to send in their an.
swers. Many replies were received
from Schofield Barracks after the con-
test closed.
An enlisted man of Schofield and a
man from the L. s. S. Alert got into
the list ofSprize-winners, their designs
being neat and accurate
Many Feminine Fans. "
Showing the strong hold that base.
ball has on popular favor in Honolulu
is the large percentage of replies re-
ceiVed from feminine fans. There
were many scores of these.
More than a hundred youngsters
tried in the competition and most of
them did remarkably we'll, their an
swers being accurate in most cases
and in some their designs very good.
The lads are great ball fans. Many
Of the replies were from boys of seven
or eight years old

papers in the South before the editor
Of the Reporter-Star put on his first
pair OF long pants, the information
aforesaid is no news 10 him. Still
we thank Mr.. Reese for his kindly
intentions. The Star has never dis
Duted that the Associated Press
gives a good and conscientious ser
vice. But when the war began, most
|of the papers taking Associated
Press dispatches in this state, began
to inform their readers that the
United Press and International News
Service were sensational and
unreliable and they would have
TO wait for the Associated
Press for the real news. This
was unkind, uncalled for and un-
true, and the Associated Press pa
pers needn't be surprised if their
statements are refuted right out of
their own columns. As for the Star,
it wouldn't have said word about
anybody else's press service if 1T
hadn't been for the unjustifiable at
tack on its own.

A CANADIAN OPINION OF WILSON

The Toronto Mail and Empire
says:
The people of the British Empire
have much reason to be thankful
that the executive power of the
United States is at present vested
in men who are war-avoiding, sane
and careful makers of foreign policy.
They are not liable to paroxysms of
irresponsibility such as some of their
predecessors suffered from. The
in the Orient have been boarded by
British marines, and German reserv-
lists bound for hostilities in the
China Sea have been removed, indi-
Gates how neutral vessels, even those
of United States registration, may be
affected by the war. One of the
causes of the war of 1912 with the
United States was the searching of
seas for deserters. The President
and his colleagues at Washington are
not quarrel-creators, going about
with chips on their shoulders. The
earnest desire of Britain to do moth
ing that would offend the good feel
| ings of the United States has been
patent from the outset, and it has
been possible to deal with Washing
ton diplomats on frank and agree
able basis. The fnjunctions of Pref
dent Wilson to the official service
and the people at large to observe
strict neutrality, and his patience in
| foreign affairs, as exemplified in his
Mexican policy, both stamp him as
the type of man Britain can deal
with most Understandings IN the
present trying circumstances I'm
der President Wilson the United
States is not likely to diverge far
from the path of caution and good
sense"
