Hope Sustained
by False Ideas
TBy United Pressl

LONDON, Oct. 17.-The Germans
have some very odd ideas as to the
progress their armies are making III
the war, according to a Birmingham
woman, who has arrived here from
Hamburg. where she was detained BY
the authorities for some time.
The popular impression prevails at
l1amberg, she said that all of the
people in England are on the verge
Of starvation. She said the report
Lad been spread that England's fleet
is hiding and that a big coal strike
is tying up the country and that the
general state bordered on a revolt
ton.
The retreat of the German army
from Paris was explained away. she
said, by saying that it was strate-
gical move to get reinfoorcements
and that Paris would be occupied
soon. Two weeks later tthe Ger
mans would be in London, people in
Hamburg believe.
The kaiser has grown to be pop
ular idol now, she declared. The peo-
pie think he strove to the last min
ute to avert the war, which they say
England precipitated

the day before Henry E, Cooper read
the proclamation doing away with
Queen LiliuokalaniS sovereignty, in
presence of a small group in front OF

the queens attempt on the previous

constitution restoring the royal pre-
negatives taken from her brother and
predecessor, King Kalakaua, by rev.
olutionary movement of white resi-
dents in 1887. Further capital was
made against Liliuokalani on account
of her having signed the opium and
lottery bills, but this was in face Of
the fact that large proportion OF
those who took part in her overthrow
had supported one or both of those
measures. U. S. marines were landed

Captain Matson to Bring Party
of Friends on Maiden Trip to
Hawaiian Islands

Hawai's greetings to the MatsOn
Navigation Company's new liner Mat
sonia as she steamed into San Fran
cisco hartor recently. following her
maiden voyage to the Pacific coast
from New York, were a number of
beautiful leis, entwined with rose
leaves, which A. p. Taylor, the local
Promotion Committees agent in the
coast city, sent aboard to Captain
Peter Johnson and the other officers
Of the vessel, and to Col. Sam Par
ker, who was passenger. The facts
concerning this greeting are mention
ed in the report from Mr.. Taylor read
at the meeting of the promotionists
yesterday afternoon.
The Matsonia is the finest vessel
/ have ever travelled on" said the
colonel, as he shouted CHEEKY vel
come over the rail Mr. Taylor in his
report says that Captain Johnson is
as proud as a peacock of his new
command, and that the vessel is ev-
erythfng that Captain Matson and e.
d. Tenney have said Of her. She is
boat IN which the islands MAXWELL
take pride, he continues, for she is
their boat and was built for the is.
lands growing tourist traffic, and she
will certainly get it. The Manoa, says
Mr., Taylor, is really as fine boat
as the Matsonia, so Honolulu is doubly
fortunate. >s. H..
Il am glad that the people of Ho-
nolulu are going to do the right thing
by the arrival of the Matsonia," he
says further Captain Matson de-
serves 1t, for he is a real Hawaiian
booster and has done much to popu-
larfze trips to Hawaii. =
'The times are very hard here, The
unemployed army Is getting brash in
its demands upon the city and state.
Clerks are being weeded out of bust
ness houses and work is hard to get
whether it is daily labor or work in
Offices. Beggars are numerous as

James ID. Dougherty, director gen.

in view for the celebration next

thusiastic over the possibilities of sue,
