capture of Cracow and Przemysl,
in an effort to crush completely

and Silesia, preparing for the ex-
pected Russian advance.
Petrograd acknowledges that
the reinforcements of the Turks
in the Caucasian regions. near
the eastern shores of the Black
sea, have halted the Russian
movement. The advance guards
of the Russians have been COM
PEELED to fall back, the Turks
having received large reinforce

The Austrian operations against
Servia, according to official ad-
vices from Vienna, are proceed

Britain's problem of dealing
with the Moslems was brought
up squarely by the German state

Proposed Park Superintendent
Has Ideas for Innovations
of Practical Nature

John HI. Wise, active candidate
for the superintendency of Kapiolani

sure of landing in the vacancy that
will be brought about by the plan to
eliminate the Democratic holder OF
the position, Bertram Rivenburgh, and

"To my mind the entire park sys-
tem-if you can call it a system-of
Honolulu should be brought under one
head and the several small parks
greatly improved" said Wise this
morning. This could be done very
easily and with practically no Increase
in expense to the city and county.
The superintendency of kapiolani
park pays enough SO that the holder
of this position would not need more
salary to look after all the parks. The
labor is largely furnished by the pris-
oners. With all the parks in one ac-
lively operating system they would
be much improved.
Another feature that could be car
ried out would be the establishment
of Hawaiian village at Kapiolant
park. This is entirely. feasible and
would cost little. 1t could be put on

same time practical industry.

haps the most interesting of the new
rules is that promulgated by the super.

public school for charitable purposes
Superintendent Kinney caudoned the
instructors against this custom some
time ago, and placed the matter be

The board endorsed the idea heartily
making 1t a fixed rule which shall
hereafter apply at all times to all pub

otherwise, . said the superintendent IL
the board, "but think that tEe actu
al collection of coin in the schools car,
ries with it several features which
make the practise on the whole unde-
sirable."
Another idea suggested by Kinney
and adopted by the commissioners was
the rescission OF the old rule prohibit
ing teachers from engaging in other
gainful employment outside Their
school duties. Kinney savE, IN lis
communicated to the beard, that this
rule, adopted in 1907. Eas long been

can be dispensed with under Other
rules of the department, and IL tht

NThe board also adopted his recon-
for the establishment o.
