+ Our report OF this current year shows
surprising increase:
r. Whole number OF cases. 913
e., "children's, 207.
Why has our work grown 80 stead
tasty and rapidly? Has our agent be-
q come more efficient and vigilant? Has
more responsibility been thrust upon
Z this institution, or have we in our
midst more cruelty, more evil and
more restitution?
I've cannot attribute this Increase
$ 20 any one, nor all three causes COM
hined, but rather to the splendid CO
cperatlpn OF the public press, the gov
efnment and other Institutions and to
III Ecod people who have materially
and actively interested themselves in
fbe betterment Of the community and
the relief Of the suffering and needy.
fTfeaaury Not Depleted.
notwithstanding the pressing calls
and constant demands upon cur citi-
t4aps for relief work in the Orient and
10 allay the appalling distress in
Europe we have to be grateful that
our treasury has not been depleted.
However. with the steady influx Of
k4isany nationalities our work neeessari.
~ increases. Many who are INDECENT
isand ia destitute circumstances drift
lIonolnlu-wards where their children
are rescued. cared for and placed In
homes by this and similar societies.
Thus we are led to ask! VIII the
] friends from the other islands, those
Interested and who can afford to as
sist financially, give US, their aid? J.
The scope Of our work demands
so much that ! am ffnpelled ID ask
that our agent, Miss Ward, be pro-
Yided with an assistant. ! ask this,
honndent that such assistance VIII be
granted. to the end that there be no
abatement Of the good work.
The cases reported by Miss Ward
by no means constitute the whole re-
suit OF our, efforts, Of the rs, or
more, OF our members who are sup

Humane Officers Report
Miss Wards report as humane off
Ger was Of much interest. II follows:
"As officer Of the Hawaiian Humane
Society respectfully submit my re-
port for the year ending September
80, 1915. The following shows 913
cases which came to my attention, POI
OF which were children s cases, and
T06 were with animals. namely:
."Overloading, So: eollar-galls, IA;
sore and emaciated, Is; beating, -:
shot, Al; eheckreins, 2S0; arrested anu
fined, I5; unshod, II: lame, $50 chic
reformed, 80; injured, 3; total, 7O6.
This is exclusive OF the many warn
tngs given. which have often proven
as effective as prosecutions. In cases
OF overlooking it is most surprising
how some Of the firms allow their
drivers to load the drays to the ut
most, having their overworked, poorly
nourished animals struggle under their
burdens.
