that the. manager was displaying ey-
erywhere the flags of England, of her
allies, and all Of the neutral countries
with the exception Of the United
States. Ny American honor was in
jured and i Immediately asked the man
ager why such a sfam sswas taken at
US. 1t is not intended as a slam,
was his answer, it is simply that with
the present feeling against America |
dc net dare to display the American
flag here.
Discrimination is also made" con-
tinued Mr.. Livingstone, between the
boats of American and English reg.
istry running, to the colonies. When
we left Sydney on the Makura on the
home trip, search of our baggage
was instituted, rather, thorough, it is
true, but pleasantly done. On the
ether hand the Ventura baggage was.
gene through three separate times and
no special pains were taken to do it
neatly CT kindly. Some of the search
ers were actually rude.
Il consider this feeling due in a
large measure to the newspapers OF
Australia, said Mr.. Livingstone, when
asked as to the cause of it.
The papers have printed nothing
about the work that our country has
done in Belgium to relieve the suffer
ing there, and all the news that is
published deals very partially with
the English side of the question. The
feeling of war is everywhere in the
air. Soldiers are seen wherever you
&C, and, by the way, they are invited
cut into the society of the town a
great deal more than our men are in
Honolulu. This may be due to the war
but it is true nevertheless. There is
great deal of sadness in many OF
the homes on account of the loss OF
Australian and New Zealand boys in
the fighting in Egypt.
Business is at a standstill, and
would advise American business men,
especially, to stay away until the war
is over Prices for all kinds of food
are very high and only limited
amount of one thing is allotted to in
dividual families As an illustration,
should you ask for two pounds Of but
ter, only one pound would be given
to you and the same rule holds good
in the purchase of meat, eggs and
ether commodities. Gasoline, when |
left, was nearly so cents gallon. max
ing it very expensive for all automo-
bile owners.
Asked his opinion of the islands, this
being his fourth trip to Hawaii, Mr..
Livingstone ardently replied that he
always had good word for them
wherever he went Your mountains,
he said, Il consider enc of your best
advertisements, and | have wondered
why more pictures, especially moving
ern states Very seldom have seen
any advertisements of the islands
along the Atlantic border. e.. IT,. -.
They ought to have pictures OF the
life here off the beaten trails, of your
waterfalls and your mountains
Mr. Livingstone is a moving-picture
enthusiast himself, owning stock in
several houses on the coast and being
intimately acquainted with many of
