Merely a Supply CITY,

The raising of chickens and the pro-
duction of eggs are things apart to the
farmers in the Basel consular district.
While Basel is one of the principal
supply cities of Europe for poultry
and eggs, only a small percentage is
actually produced in the Basel district
or In Switzerland.

King Alphonso of Spain is eager to
come to the United States next year and
attend the Panama Pacific Exposition.
The king is the most popular of the
European monarchs and is good sport.
The Californians would give him taste
of American hospitality which would be
an enduring memory and which would
erase from his mind recollections of the
little unpleasantness over Cuba few
years ago. Probably, however, the King
will have to send regrets. He is married
and it is said that the Queen wears the,
imperial crown. and would veto the trip.

The Governorship

Just now all eyes, politicaleyes, appear
to be on Lamoille County-and turned
in the direction of F. G. Fleetwood. 1t is
said that the Progressives have offered
him the nomination for the Governorship
and anxiously are awaiting his decision.
Added to this is the fact that many Re.
Republicans of the "stand pat" idea
would like to have him as the G. o. P.
candidate for the same position. Fleet
wood isn't saying anything, but appears
to be letting the other fellows do the
talking. That's the exact situation at

Accountant Win Commence
Work Next Monday

Territorial Treasurer G. J. Nc.
earthly announced today that he has
appointed H E. Westcott, an expert
accountant, to undertake the first
seinEannuai audit Of the books Of the
Oahu city and county auditor and
treasurer. The accountant is to be
gin his work on the records next Mon
day. @
Though the last legislature passed
IA law, Act So, s. L. 1918, requiring a
sefni-annnal audit of the county rec
oris ana the statute went into effect
July /, 1913, the Oahu county books
have not been inspected under its pro-
visions yet, nearly IS months later.
The law affects the other islands as
well and Treasurer Mccarthy will at
tend to thar duty personally, but he
states he is appointing Westcott 70
handle the Oahu job now because
much Of the work to be reviewed was
done by Col. Mccarthy during his
term as county treasurer He did
not think Il would be right that he
should attempt to audit accounts
which he himself had made.
For the audit of the Oahu county
records the county, under the act. is
required to set aside an appropriation
of 5000 every SIX months--the other
islands are required to pay only 800
each for the accounting -and the
funds are In the territorial treasury
and available for the expense.

PUBLIC BUSINESS BADLY DONE.

As an Illustration Of public business badly
done, the handling of the war-tax measure so
far as Hawaii is concerned rather sets new
standard. 8
The Star Bulletin told few DAYS ago how
Collector Cottrill had received, ten days late,
cabled information that the war tax on liquors
was actually in effect and had beefl in effect
since October %. Now by the slow process Of
mail the collector has received two copies
two, count 'ern--of measure that hits most of
Hawaii. Inquiry at the office yesterday by
businessmen anxious to comply with the law
revealed the famine in copies Nor can the
collector issue the proper internal revenue
stamps, the Washington office apparently hay-
ing Overlooked this prerequisite to carrying
ont the law.
Detailed information as to the war-tax has
been impossible to obtain. 1t is impossible now
for the collector and his staff to distfibnte the
printed information as it should be distributed.
The widespread tax went into general effect
Novembef 1--before the bill reached here.
With characteristic method and efficiency, the
local office is doing the best it can with a de
plorable situation. And Collector Cottrill never
complains He saws wood.
The Star Bulletin has one precious copy of
this warsrevenue bill and will gladly lend it to
anyone desiring to find ont whether or not he
has been taxed. First come, first served.

BRITISH INVENTION
PLAYS HAVOC WITH
THE ALLIED F0RcES

LONDON, Engsl Sirfapnel. which
has done far more damage to the Al
lies than the German rifle fire, Is q
British invention over e century old.
It's inventor was Gen. Shfapnel, an
English officer who was born m 176l
and given commissions In the royal
artillery in 1879. The thought came
to him during the war in Flanders.
where he was impressed by the trifling
effect Of round shot against troops and
the limited range.of grape. His shell,
filed with balls and powder and e.
nited by a time fuse, was adopted by
the British army in 1902 and played an
important part in the Peninsulaf war
under wellington and also at Water
loo. The secret Of its action was I'M
known outside Of Britain until 1894.
With the customary ingratitude OF
governments. Gen. Shrapnel was never
reimbursed for the expense Of his ex.
periInents. All he received was 700
pounds year ls6000t and the offer OF
baronetcy he could not afford to ac-
cept. He died in 1912 bitter old
man.
DR.. Louis Seaman, the American ex-
pert who has visited the hospitals OF
the Allies at the front, says that the
German shells break into large pieces
and do little. damage compared with
those used by the Japanese against
Russia. which were torn into showers.
Of steel splinters. But the shrapnel
bullets make ragged wounds and also
carry injecting materials with them,
causing Large percentage of deaths
from blood poisoning.

WAR GEOGRAPHY.

:, Both Newport and Dixemude, focus of the
heaviest fighting on the Continent today, have
had their share OF. the historic battles of the
past. Newport is "a Belgian town half a mile
from the seacoast and halfway between 0stend
and the French border TIE town is on the User
river. It is badly buil and nnhealthily situated,
yet many people are attracted there every sum
Emef by its bathing facilities The town was re-
daeed to ruins BY the glish ii 1883, but was
rebuilt two years later and fortified by Philip
the Bold The French captured it in las, 1872
and 1884, The famous battle Of the Dunes, in
which Maurice Of Nassau defeated the Spanish,
was fought here in 1900. ITS lighthouse was
elected in 1884. Shipbuilding, rope and net
making, and fishing are its chief Industries. It
has population OF about '4006
Dixemude, now occupied by the Germans and
made the frontal base for another drive for
ward toward the French ports of Dunkirk and
Calais, is so miles from the latter. 1t is in
West Flanders, Belgium, in the fertile district
called Freyeland, IA miles south of Ostend and
II miles north of Ypres, on the User river. It
is typical, old fashioned Belgian place. which
has changed comparatively little in the last
century In 1850 its population was 5000; at
the outbreak Of the war it had few more than
1000 inhabitants Dixemude is known for its
butter, cheese and beer, and has an active trade
in salt, horses and cattle. The citizens Of
Bruges besieged the town in 1850, and the peo-
pie of Client stornled it few years later. The
French took Dixemude in 1647 1858, 1868 and
1895. It's church of the sixteenth century con-
tains many famous works of art.
