r HILO, July 24.--This city has gone
auto mad. The Matsonia this week
brought twenty-eight more machines.
Nobody walks in Hilo All ride, for
III is cheaper than shoe gear. The buss.
es or bussettes, az they are coming TO
be known, are numerous and it is no
trick to see dozen OF more threading
their way along Front street through
other machines to and from Waiakea
and other nearby Suburban points.
+ A former Hilo resident, who is visit
ing the city, says that so far he has
discovered only two residents do not
own machines-one is one ;cggc =

The one big kick In Ilo is over the
high price of gasoline in bulk. 1t IL
selling at twenty five scents gallon
retail and twenty cents wholesale.
When it is pointed out that the SAM
liquid fetches seldom more than eleven
cents gallon in Honolulu, there Is a
prolonged howl from the Hilo auto
owner. ..f.
There is talk that owners of ma.
chimes will, get together and demand
that the price Of gasoline he no higher

will probably agree toanitktga cent or

These two wireless messages,
the. first ever interchanged be-
tween American and Japan, were
relayed through Kahuku last
night. The gap between Homo
lulu and the Japanese govern
ment station at Toxic is 400
miles, the longest leap ever at
tempted for regular commercial
service.
Honolulu has been tuning up
with Japan for the last three days
and has established cOmmunica-
ton both at night and by day.
Signals Like Bass Drum
THE signals tonight from ia
pan came in like a bass drum"
said w. p. S. Hawk, the Marconi
manager in Honolulu. "Of course,
we don't know how loud ours
were at The other end, but Toxic
said they were sharp and distinct.
"The Marconi plant here is the
biggest and most powerful in the
world. 1t has a capacity of $50
kiIowatts for sending, but we
only needed about 1870 to work
with Toxic tonight.
More Power For Daylight
More power will be needed for
daylight sending, but we expect
soon to establish regular com
mcrcial service, for day and night
messages, and the rate card will
be made public shortly.
"Already we have heard Toxic
distinctly in daylight, about two
o'clock in the afternoon; but our
signals seem not to have been re-
ccived there"
Messages Pass At g p. M.
The interchange of messages
between New York and Toxic
passed through Kahuku at about
nine o'clock last night. First the
message from Toxic was received
at kahuku, and from there relay
ed to San Francisco, using only
twenty-five kilowatts. From San
Francisco it was sent overland by
telegraph to New York. The re-
ply came back over the same
route in the opposite direction.
Distance Covered Not Record
Although the gap between Ka-
huku and Toxic is the widest
spanncd by regular commercial
service. messages have been re
cciycd here. under favorable con
ditlons, from much greater dis
tances. The Federal Wireless

I ONDON, July %. - Thrown

North, checked and defeated on
the South and held on the West
by the stubborn defense of the
Slavs, the Austro-German at
tempt to envelop the Polish CAPT
tai Of Warsaw is checked, for the
time being at least, and brought
nearly to a standstill. ."'
Germans Beaten Back
-. Yesterday, the defenders of
Warsaw turned against the forces
of Won lIindenburg, which had
advanced VIGOROUSLY across the
Narew River, and beat them back
in many places, driving the Ger
man regiments in confusion
across the stream, capturing
many of them and taking large
quantities of supplies and MUM
tions which the Germans had
laboriously transported to title
south bank for the final assault
upon Warsaw. In other portions
OF the line, while the Germaps are
still advancing, it is by yards only
and at a tremendous cost in men
and materiel." " '.s
Won Mackensen Checked e
Won Mackensen is also meeting
with generally sitter resistance
and his further attempt to reach
the line of the Lublin- Cholm rail
road has SO far been defeated. A
number of villages along the Rus
sian advanced line were taken by
the Austro-Germans yesterday,
but the advance generally has
been checked and in some in
stances seriously defeated.
Along the Western Vistula, the
AuStro-German assaults have re-
suited in some slight gains.
Everywhere along the whole
encircling line before Warsaw,
the battles are at their height,
with thousands of men falling
hourly and both sides fighting
desperately.
Teuton Plans At Stake
The military critics declare the
fighting now in progress in Po-
land to be the most critical in the
entire campaign and the success
of the whole German plans de-
ponds upon the outcome. While
forty-eight hours ago it appeared
that the German clutch upon
Warsaw was almost certain of
success, the outcome of the fight
ing now is less certain and it may
be that the defense of the Rus
slams will overwhelm the often
sive of the Germans, in which
event the forces invading Poland
will find themselves in serious
peril SO far from their bases OF
supplies and with an enemy flush
ed with victory driving on their
heels. "F
Success for the Austro-Ger-

DO you think that the telephone
company, in considera ton for the DER
mission given it to erect poles on pub.

This is a question, which Chairman
Kauhane has asked Chairman Forbes
of the public utilities COMMISSION.
y, In the introduction of letter
which Chairman Kauhane has written
to Mr.. Forbes, he states that he PRO.
pounds the query now because he has
learned that the utilities commission is
considering the new rates which the
Hawaii Telephone Company intend to
put into effect on August l. 49,,
F. Ghairman Kanhanc refers the super-
intendent to Sections SSl and 1926 of
the Revised Laws Of 1915, which pro-
vide that the superintendent of public
works and the board of supervisors
may respectively grant permission for
the erecting of telephone posts in pub
lie streets or roads.
The county chairman, advised by
Assistant County Attorney Keen, cX-
in rates was grantri the COUNTY it
could not be considered a discriminn-
ton in rates, inaSmnrh as it is for a
consideration.
Mr.. Forbes has not as yet given a
definite answer to the query, but il
is known that he thinks the county
could secure a favorable rate by max
ing special contract for phones witil
the telephone company This. reduc-
tion, however. could b" secured by any
large private user of telephones.
1t is intimnt"d at the county build.
