Hawaii is a queer place. Every
thing socially IL what ] may call topsy-
turvy. Not but what things are cor
rect. They are almost too much so.
But still things are sort OF upside
down. The most ultraexclusive set
there is the missionary Crowd" It
comes with rather a shock to learn
that in Hawaii the obscure, martyr
dom-seeking missionary sits at the
head OF the table of the moneyed aris-
tocracy. But 1t is true. The humble
New Englanders who came out in the
third decade Of the nineteenth CEN
fury, came for the lofty purpose of
teaching the Kanakas the true relig-
ion, the worship OF the only one genu-
Inc and undeniable God. So well did
they succeed in this, and also in civil
izing the Kanaka. that by the second
or third generation he was practically
extinct. This being the fruit of the
seed OF the Gospel, the fruit of the
seed of the missionaries (the sons Of
the grandsons1 was the possession Of
the islands themselves, Of the land,
the ports, the town sites, and the sugar
plantations. The missionary who
came to give the Bread Of Life re-
NAMED TO gobble up the whole heath

But that ia not the Hawaiian queer
ness / started out to tell. Only one
cannot speak OF things Hawaiian with
out mentioning the missionaries
There is Jack Kdrsdale, the man
wanted to tell about; he came of mis-
sionary stock. TIL at is. ON his grand
fathers side. His grandfather was
old Isaac Kersdald, Yankee trader,
who got his start tor million in the
old days by selling cheap whisky and
square-faced gin. There's another
queer thing. The pld missionaries and
old traders were mortal enemies. You
see, their interests confiicted. But
their children made it up by inter
marrying and dividing the islands be-
tween them.

And he was right. Flesh is golden
there. The native women are sun
ripe Junos, the native men bronzed
Apollos. They sing, and dance, and
all are flower hejeweled and flower
crowned. And. outside the rigid Mis-
sionary Crown, the white men yield
to the climate and the sun, and no
matter how buay they may be. are
prone to dance and sing and wear
flowers behind their ears and In their
hair. Jack Kergdale was one of these
fellows. He was one Of the busiest

times millionaire. He was a sugar
king, a coffee planter, rubber pi-

moter Of three out of every four new
enterprises launched in the islands.
He was society man, clubman, a
yachtsman, a bachelor and withal as
handsome a man as was ever dotted
upon by mammas with marriageable
daughters. Incidentally, he had fin.
ished his education at Yale, and his
head was crammed fuller with vital

COUNTER OFFENSIVE
STARTED BY RUSSIA
NEW BATTLE DEVELOPING ON
SAN AND DNIESTER RIVERS
MUScovITEs RE-ENFoCED.

London.-Russia has commenced
her counter offensive against the Aus
tro-Germans, who drove her Carpath-
ian armies back to the San and Dnies-
ter Rivers, and an entirely new battle
is developing.
The Russians, with strong-re-enforce-
ments, have crossed the San confiu-
ence with the Vistula and are advanc-
ing southwark in an effort to outfank
the Germans, who crossed the San in
the vicinity of Jaroslau. They also
are striking hard at the Austrians in
Bukowina, but apparently have made
no further headway there, nor with
their offensive in the Opatow region.
The latter offensive, however, was a
movement to uncover the German
flank in Galicia, which it succeeded
partly in doing.
In the Baltic provinces the Germans
claim to have defeated the Russian
northern wing in the region of Shaw.
Ii and also to have repulsed the Rus
sian attacks from the Dubysa and
Niemen Rivers.

Italian and Austrian advance guards
have fired the first shots.
The plan of campaign has not yet

decisive defeat, or, at least, one that
will discourage the Italians. will be
undertaken, largely by the Germans
under Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
1t is said the German troops, with
heavy guns, aeroplanes and Zeppelins,
already are passing through the val
ley of the River Adige in the direc-
ton of Verona, and that rapid and
fierce blows will be delivered almost
Immediately at the Italian center.
This, the Germans doubtless believe.
would serve to hold off an Italian ad-
vance from the province of Venice,
where the fat nature of the country
would give the Italians a greater
chance Of success.
Throughout Austria and Germany
there is bitter denunciation of Italy,
