to fazoo City to visit Senator John
Sharp Williams, to whom he owes his
appointment. He has spent several
days in his old home at Columbus.
The Hawaaians have been made
immensely wealthy by the war, Mr..
Franklin says, the prices received for
their sugar products during the re-
cent months, being the highest they
had ever known. The sugar cane
plantations are largely in the hands
of big interests, however, and there
is little opportunity for the small
grower, available lands having been
entirely taken up. The cost Of iv-
ing is also an acute problem with the
man of moderate means, says Mr..
Franklin, and the salaried employees
in Honolulu with family, consider
themselves fortunate if they can
break even at the end of the year.
But for the tourist the Hawaiian
climate is ideal all the year around,
and Honolulu is city of great nat
ural beauty. mad built along strictly

of Miss Edith Cavell, the British

called the funeral of Lord Roberts
at the cathedral almost a year ago.
Before 8 o'clock a great crowd
stood shivering in the first cold fog
of the season, awaiting the opening
of the doors. Shortly after ten
o'clock signs bearing the words
"church full" were hung At all the
doors except the one reserved for
ticket holders. Conspicuous among
the crowd which waited patiently in
the gloomy fog was a large number
of wounded soldiers, attended by Red
Cross nurses.
The sombre clothing of the congre-
CATION which packed the great edfice

ly, by spots of color of the uniform
of soldiers and sailors when military
and naval dignitaries took their
places in the pews. The only seats
reserved were for the Lord Mayor,

Follow Plans Outlined by
Chamber Of Commerce.

Nearly seventy-five ladies were
present at a meeting of the members
of the Civic Improvement League,
held at the Chamber of Commerce
Friday morning, proving that the or
ganization is Of paramount interest
to the ladies of this city.
The meeting was presided over by
the president, Mrs. William Baldwin,
and report from the membership
committee was heard.
Mrs. Battle Bell, chairman of the
temporary program committee, read
a report, which was adopted to be in
corporated in the fixed program at
the next meeting. The president
was empowered to appoint commit
tees and arrange tentative program
of work.
An interesting talk was made by
Mr.. C. A. McKeand, of Indianapolis,
who has been conducting a re-or-
ganizing campaign here for the past
three weeks for the Chamber of
Commerce. He gave an outline of
work done by the women of Charles
ton, s. c., which will in part be fol-
lowed by the members of the local
civic Improvement organization.
The work Of the league will fol-

CHAMBER or COMMERCE
REORGANIZATION CAM.
PAIcN CLOSES.
FINE RESULTS
NOW EXPECTED
Members Council Will be Of
Great Assistance During the
Next Twelve Months.

Yesterday saw the completion OF
the reorganization campaign for
the Chamber Of Commerce. At a
meeting Friday night Of the Board Of
Directors the completed organization
was taken over and the wheels Of
machinery were set in motion on
the activities for the coming year.
During the past week the entire
time has been spent in building the
Members Council, the divisions of
the different departments and the
program of work which will be fol-
lowed out during the next twelve
months. A complete lineup of the
different branches of the organiza-
ton will be announced in a few
days.
Several of the divisions of the diff
ferent departments have already
started their work, having received
bids on the printing necessary and
getting their forms and details ready
for work.
The organization on the new plan
creates place for every member,
the belief being that every man has
pet hobby" and if placed at work
following the line of the personnel
wish his efforts will be directed for
the good of the community and him.
self. With that in view the officers
of the organization are being very
careful with their selection of men
for the different positions.
V. McKeand, who has been in
\ re Of the recreation for the pas
Tvdr' weeks, left the city yesterday.
In an interview with representative
of the Commercial before leaving he
expressed himself as being well
/ pleased with the campaign here in
Columbus and the spirit of the bus

Ter. Inc local organization accord
ing to the experts in charge is the
most modern in every way and con-
structive results are expected from
the work of the body.
The program of work as outlined
from the suggestions as gathered
on the referendum covers wide
range of activities and everyone of
them is possible of accomplishment.
With the departmental plan of work,
the dividing of the different branches
of the program of work among the
divisions and the fixing of the re-
sponsibility means a possibility of
carrying out large number of ac-
tivities without big call on anyone
for a large amount of time.

AR|STAD0 BRAND FORMS
A NEW FRENCH CABINET
NEW COALITION COMBINES ALL
ELEMENTS OF FRENCH
REPUBLIC.

Paris, Oct. ga new French
cabinet, headed by Austride BRAND
as premier and minister of forengn
affairs, came into existence tonight.
This is the first time in the history
of the French republic that there is
a coalition ministry of all the oppos-
ing parties and factions. 1t follows
closely on the recent innovation Of
forming a British coalition cabinet
of conservatives and liberals.
The action taken today in forming
the cabinet was a elimination of a
deep popular sentiment that at the
supreme crisis of the war that party
division should give way to united
action by all the parties in common
support of the government As the
result of the cabinet of Rene Viviari
beng representative of only a few
political groups the ministers pre-
sented their collective designations
and President Poincaire Immediately
charged Austride BRAND with the
formation of new organization
combining all elements.
The resulting coalition is remark
able in personnel, and includes MANY
venerable figures. The modern ele-
ment is represented by conspicuous
leaders of all the political groups of
the country. Thus the coalition will
bring together frances oldest and
younger statesmen, and in personnel
represents all the history of modern
France since the fall of Napoleon
III.
