TO WAR ARENA

Especial star Bulletin CorresDondencei
HILO, May PIT. Compton Paken-
ham, late Of T. II. Davies q Company's
Hiio Office force, was safe and sound
on May last. when he was located
in Brooklyn, n. Y. He has written to
Frank Medcalf of this city and con-
yeys the information that he has been
appointed as second fidd lieutenant
of the Royal Ulster Fusileers. His
commission is post dated August 10.
and he has to report for orders on that
date. Pakenham has also received his
enlistment papers for signature as a
private in the Public Schools Temper
airy Regiment. Woldingham, Surrey,
battalion.
The former Hilo man says in the
letter that he was to proceed to Eng
land on the Pennsylvania, which was
scheduled to san for Liverpool on May
g.. As the news has been received by
wireless of the safe arrival of the big
steamer, It is to be presumed that
fakenham is very much alive, and not
now resting at the bottom of the ocean
with the Lusitania, aboard which
steamer 1t was at first thought the
young man had sailed for England
from New York.
II would seem that the report of
Pakenham's death on the Lusitania
was, like that of Mark Twain, very
much exaggerated !"

HILO. May 21.-George II. Wears,
chairman of the HiIo Board of Trade
promotion committee, announced at
the meeting OF the board on Tuesday
last that he thought he would be
ready to finally report at a meeting
about the middle Of June He added
that he felt sure that the necessary
amount of money to finance the propo-
sition OF having a special Hilo repre-
sentative in the Hawaii promotion
rooms would be available.
The committee Of which Wears is
the head. has been working hard on
the scheme and II seems as IL every
thing Is going on all right. Various
business houses, the county and the
board Of trade are expected TO sub
scribe to the fund
Hilo has for a long time felt that
more should be done to have tourists
stop over in the town for a few days
instead of being rushed to the vol
cano and back again to the wharf
The idea now is to have a man sta.
toned in Honolulu, and to have him
work up a tourist trade with the city
of Hilo, not forgetting the volcano of
course. The main object is to have
visitors remain for a time in Hilo,
visit the surrounding districts and
then go to the volcano as the crown
ing Joy. ....-"-
