Discussing the harbor work at HO-
holulu the statement sets forth the
tact that of the total appropriations of
SS00.000 for improvements. $320,S11
has been allotted. There is an unex-
PENDED balance Of 81 ,945.42 and an

The total amount unexpended and
unallotted for Hilo waterfront i'm
provements is $140,112.17 The board
advises the completion of the Kuhio
lay wharf on the plans originally out
lined, including paved floor, load
ing machinery, sheds, ETC., anil says
the total amount remaining to be sex-
pended will be needed. 1t calls at
tention to the fact that 100000 al
ready has been spent on this pier and
that this must lie idle until the pier
is finished and opened for business.
It calls attention to the federal gov
ernment's expenditure of $150D000
for the protection of shipping at Hilo,
and says this also will be largely I'M
productive until the Kuhio bay wharf
is finished.
Discussing the Kihei wharf project.
the report states that the balance un-
expended and unallotted is $5756.51
and advises that this must be made
available before the wharf is COM

safe landing for boats in vicinity of
Waikiki, permitting the abandonment
Of McGregor's landing.
For Lahaina, Maui, the report says
there is an unallottol balance of
$150,000, which it advises should be
expended, as this Is the only landing
ON Maui at which passengers can be
transferred to and from vessels ire
spectiye of weather, and, the annual
freight tonnage here is some 100000.
The unaIlotted balance for Kauai,
$4,000, is to be used chiefly In re
building the Waimea wharf, over
which the greater percentage of that
islands traffic passes.

A Most Complete plant

Tuckerton, N. j., Aug. 24-The wire
less station here is owned by the
Coldschmidt company, a concern with
headquarters in Berlin. The local sta

less tower is more than 500 feet high

Later the management of the Tuck

will subject the station to penalties,
including forfeiture of the apparatus.

benefit to the United States as a re-
suit of the war. He said recently:
1T is an i'll wind, but it is evident
Iy wind that cannot fail to blow
good to this our own country-at
peace as it is with itself and the
world; with bins and barns and gran
aries well filled; foods and fibers in
superabundance- veritable provi-
dence such as is vouchsafed to a ma
ton but once in life time. 1t is the
opportunity of the United States. such
as never came to it before, to min
lister to the world; to publish peace;
to practice all the graces which adorn
national life; and at the same time
legitimately reap to itself great har-
vests of industrial, financial and eco
nomic benefit.
The worst calamity, and almost
the only calamity that can overtake
this country at this time, is that it
will read the signs backward and in
some sympathetic thrill imagine that
we ourselves are in the throes of war.
The situation spells exactly the re-
yerse-peace, not war in the United
States; opportunity. not calamity;
prosperity, not adversely; a perfect
antipodes to a state of panic. The
bankers of the state and of the whole
country should be and are the logical
exemplars and exponents Of the fun
damental principles which underlies
this situation and will in their wisdom
dispense good counsels and aid the
people in rightly dividing the word
of truth

and followed with intense interest as
he quoted Babylonian inscription after
inscription to prove that the men quot
ed in the genealogies of Genesis and
the anti-deluvian as well as the post
deiuvian patriarchs named in the old
testament were historical figures or
dynasties. 1t was a Waterloo for the
tenets spread by higher criticism
from one who has made a life study
of the cuneiform inscriptions. Iustead
of the Hebrews having taken the story
Of the deluge, or of creation, from
Babylonian literature, it was Baby
lonia and Assyria who derived them
from the early Semites who poured
into the valley of the Euphrates and
Tigris long before the days of Abra-
ham. 1t was a masterful, cogent, up
to-date modern address that must have
impressed every hearer with the fact
that in the Sacred Scriptures is re-
corded history and not fiction. The
theme of the sermon was "The Bible

Federal Judge William H. Pope pre-
sided over the meeting and introduced
the speaker. The sacred concert CIV

dered. Solos by Mr. and Mrs. An

4. V. Long has called the attention
4 officials in Washington to the fact
taat speedy action in the erection OF
a federal building here is an actual
necessity. Judge Long correctly
urges upon the postmaster general to
consider a number of reasons why
Las Vegas government building
should have precedence over those au-
thorized in other places, and he asks
that the necessary unwinding of red
tape be cut as short as possible
The postmaster's chief reasos for
urging haste is the fact that an aver
age of 700 letters are delayed in
Greater Las Vegas daily because they
are sent to the wrong postoffice. This
causes confusion, vexation and often
financial loss and gives the employees
~of both postoffices unnecessary work.
The whole community would benefit
by the establishment of central post
office, and that the people realize it
is shown by the fact that the site for
the new building was unanimously
agreed upon by the representatives of
both sides of the Gallinas river
Every day that Washington offic-
ials delay the erection of the new
building they impose extra work upon
their employees here and inconveni-

Germany has been attacked and
therefore has no responsibility for the
war; Count Won Bernstorff said.
"To the last man in the empire, we
viii defend our country. This war
has no other object but the destruc

empires, and we believe we will be

this cannot be accomplished.
THE German people are as one
man for the war. 1t is neither the
emperors war, nor a war for officers,
as many have charged. 1t is war
OF the German people.
The women and children and the
old men have uncomplainingly gone
into the fields to gather the crops
glad to give what help they can to
their country, and we have wonderful
crops this year. Every man, woman
and child old enough to know what
war means has volunteered for some
