New York, Aug. 5.-Another Ger

been veiled, the Kaiser wilhelm IL
of the North German Lloyd line. ar
rived safely in port at 4.3O this morn
ing.
1t was learned that wireless signals

possible.
The Hamburg American liner Presi-
dent Lincoln from Hamburg, Boulogne

to-day.
The steamship Olympic. which
reached here to-day. brought millions
of dollars worth of American securi-
ties from London which were dispatch
ed for delivery on sales made in the
days of great liquidation last week.
The value of European consignments
expected on the Olympic and other
steamships was estimated in conserv-
ative quarters at S25.000.00O. all
though the total sales made by cable

WILSON'S EFFORTS MAY FAIL

WILSON'S EFFORTS MAY FAIL
By Associated Press

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 5.-Presi-
dent Wilson has offered his good Offices
to all the European powers involved
iII the war.
The President has sent the follow
ing message to Emperor William. En-
peror Nicnolas, Emperor Francis Jo-
scph, President PoIncare and King
George:
AS official head of one of the
powers slgnatory to The Hague
convention | feel it TO be my
privilege ana my duty under Ar
tIcle III OF that convention to say
to you IN "a spirit of most earnest
friendship that / should welcome
an opportunity to act in the inter-
est or European peace, either now
or any other time that might be
thought more suitable, as an oc-
casion to serve you and all con-
cerned in a way that would afford
me lasting cause for gratitude ana
happiness. (Signed)
WOODROW WILSON.
The proffer of good offices was for
>Harded by Secretary Bryan to the
American embassies IN the nations in
Nolved and through them transmitted
to the governments.
Effect May BE Lasting
1t was said at the White House that
no intimations had been received that
such an offer would he favorably re-
ceived. President Wilson took the po-
sition that the European war was so
stupendous and that its effect on the
entire world was liable to be so last
ine that the United States. as one of
the few large neutral powers, could not
do otherwise than at least offer to be
the means for bringing about peace
The proffer of good offices was not
sent to the governments of Servia and
Montenegro because those countries
are not parties to The Hague conven-
ton.
A hope that the Presidents offer
might be accepted was prevalent in
official circles because it is not neces-
sary for any of the warning powers to
change the present military status if
they accept it, Article VII of The
Hague convention provides:
THE acceptance of mediation can
not, unless there be an agreement to
the contrary, have the effect of inter
rupting, delaying or hindering mo.
biliZation or other measures or prepa-
rations for war.
IF 1t takes place after the COM
mencement of hostilities the military

ing and the Eastern doubles are

NAY CONE HERE
FOR JUNE meet

1t now looks as though Coast swim
mers might come to Honolulu for the
June IL championships, in spite of
the fact that big swimming meet Is
on the cards for July and in San
Francisco, and that Hawaiian water
speeders will go.against the coast men
at that time. At any rate, the local
meet is getting considerable publicity
in the coast papers, and it may be in
ferred that the coast swimmers are
correspondingly interested.
! The San Francisco Examiner of re-
cent date says:
The Hawaiian branch of the ANA
.teur Athletic Union in Honolulu is
making plans for Kamehameha day,
which takes place in Honolulu on June
II. Swimming is the main feature of
Kamehameha day and the committee
that arranged the races at the Mid
Pacific Carnival already has plans that
promise to make one of the largest
swimming meets ever held.
It Is the plan OF the Hawaiian swim
ming officials to bring together the
worlds greatest swimmers and every
country with tank athletes of note
will be represented. The California
swimmers who went to Honolulu and
competed in the Mid-Pacific Carnival
meet made great showing against the
Hawaiian cracks, and 1t Is nearly GER
tain that team OF California mer-
men win be asked to compete in the
Kamehameha day meet.
Perry McGilliyray Of the Illinois Attn
letic Club. Hebner of the same club,
Longworth, Healy and Wickham, the
Australian champions: Barrett Small

all be invited to compete in Honolulu.
Duke Kahanamoku, the worlds cham
pion, whose home is in Honolulu, will

The department of agriculture is
trying to eliminate the danger to cat
tie from poisonous plants on national
forest ranges OF these plants, lark
spur loco weed. death camas, and wa
ter hemlock are the most poisonous.
Larkspur does the most harm, be-
cause it is so widely distributed and
is particularly bad for cattle. Or
dinarily, horses will not eat larkspur,
and sheep can eat it without apparent
injury.
