The decision in the case was by

but that the passive concealment OF
the act precluded the company from
pleading the statute of limitations and
it could not escape loss of the lands
in that manner.

BUREAU REPORTS SERIOUS LACK
OF AMMUNITION and Big GUNS

effect that at least Eve guns should
be provided for every man In the army
and that surplus Of ammunition
should be appropriated for without
delay. The report states that ii would
take many months for the army to
equip a large force with guns and
ammunition. and that II war should
be declared suddenly the fighting
force would be handicapped greatly,
unless such provision is made.
The number of machine guns now
owned by the army should be increas-
ed by at least 400 per cent and a
similar ratio should be maintained for
all additional troops provided for by
Congress. At present each regiment
has three machine guns and they
should have IL each. the report states.
The number of field guns and ho-
witzers should be increased approx.
mately 100 per cent the report urges.
In addition to these recommenda-
tons a number Of suggestions have
been offered to the Coast Artillery
division for increasing the efficiency
Of the big guns which are supposed
to protect the country from foreign
fleets.

The distance from Heligoland Of
i 40 miles when the battle was broken
off-would have given US the POSSIBLE
ity OF continuing the fight for several
hours yet, before approaching the
German mine fields. Yet much
shorter fight might have been decls-
i've. The humiliation Of the German
squadron would have been cheap even
IN It had cost us one or two ships.
Has this been actually and seriously
tried? II II is noteworthy that the
admiraPs report Is silent as to the
order Of attack-this refers to CON-
mand for the Indomitable to destroy
the Bluecher and ap order for the rest
Of the squadron to attack the German
rear-it Is still more noteworthy that
not even an attempt has been made
to explain why these orders were not
carried OUT
The explanation of this is given by
the events as related above-the dis
abling Of the flagship, the serious
damage to the Princess Royal and the
sinking Of the Tiger. 1t was not pos
sible any more to carry out the order,
and as the report on the battle con-
ceals most of the above facts II re-
mains unintelligible on this point and
leads the British reporter to the fol-
lowing conclusion:
The flagship was disabled. This
was situation which could confuse
anyone. Unless this circumstance is
better explained It must appear as
though regretable error has been
made by the commander In chief. II
is easy to pass sentence. The sad part
of the whole affair is that this short
moment of failure in Judgment turn.

which cannot be concealed, but which 1

We must admit without hesitation
that this critic is right; it is impos-
sibie to explain why the British ad-
miral broke OFF the battle, II the sit

reported by him. It is fact, how |
ever, that the whole affair was entire |

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Aug. 20,
An elaborate entertainment has been
planned by the officers Of Schofeld
Barracks to make up the small deficit
required to complete the fine new II
brary that was started by Gen. Carter.
The show will probably be given both
at the 1st Infantry and Cavalry-Artil-
lery amusement halls and perhaps in
Honolulu. The dates have not been
set but will be somewhere around the
middle of September. Capt William
D. Chitty. 4th Cavalry, has charge OF
the vaudeville part of the entertain
ment and has made up what should
prove very popular program. All or
Friday and most of this morning were
devoted to taking moving pictures OF
the troops, to exhibit in two reels at
this entertainment. ALI phases OF the
military life of the garrison will be
shown as well as all the arms both
on parade and in action.
The fire that was. started on the b
range last Wednesday and which
spread to the Waianae range has not
yet been completely extinguished. Get
ting into the thick underbrush and
guaya roots it Is difficult matter to
get at the smouldering flames, which
every now and then break out afresh
and spread rapidly over considerable
areas. 1t has been figured out that
more than 5000 troops have been out
during the week lighting this fire that
was started by some individuals care
lessness.
There is rumor afloat that the en-
tire post may have electric lights in
the near future. The Marconi Wire
less Company is planning to put in
wire to carry their power from Pearl
Harbor to their station at Kahuku and
have made an offer to the government
which is being taken under considera-
ton to furnish power and light to
Schofield Barracks.
The baseball teams of the 4th Cav
airy and 1st Field Artillery played
practise game on Thursday afternoon.
which lasted for IL innings, the field
artillery finally winning by score OF
2 to 1. The game scheduled to be
played this afternoon between the lst
Infantry and LIST Field Artillery was
in order not to run a coun-

Chinese and 18th Infantry will mix 1t
up tomorrow afternoon.

SEWER ASSESSMENTS.
Objected to by Property Owners Protests to Be Given Prompt Atten-

Tn the common council chamber Monday evening complaints in regard to the sewer assessments on Turner and Mansfield avenue were heard. City Engineer F. E. Mitchell showed how the assessments were computed. Sev- eral objections were made on the de- auction made for property owners whose property was assessed on cross streets and for the fifty feet taken out at the intersection of streets
 Attorney P. J. Danahey and Dixon Van Zandt brought out the idea that the total number of feet of the con- structiou should be used as a basis for computing the amounts.
 Carl Picknell, for Mrs. P. Nf. Pick nell. his mother, wanted to know why the assessment on Mrs. PicIsnelI's prop erty was so large when the sewer en- tered the property for only eight feet on one side. MT. Pickneu's figures were corrected to an assessment on 43 feet Of sewer in a lot measuring 75 feet in length and was also informed that the assessment was made accord ing to the increased value it gave a piece Of property.
 c. W. Alpaugh had $25 deducted from his assessment. MT. Alpaugh's prop erty is connected with a, private sew CT and this is the sum of the assess nent for a sewer of this nature,
 Corporation Counsel C. 4. Capen, chairman of the meeting, announced that all objections stronitted to the meeting would be considered and report made at the next meeting.

TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE
 BY GERMAN ARMY
In Attempting to Take British Trench.
 es Near La Eassee Canal.

London, Feb. 2. 9.G5 D. n.-That ter -lble loss of life was suffered by the German army in attempting to take British entrenchments is reported in the account of the British official eye witness of two German attacks be- tween the La Bassec canal and the Bethune road January %.
 Tn the center says the report of the eyewitness, "our men. firmly es- abolished in the brick fields, gave the Germans a very warm reception and the latter fell back leaving fifty dead in front of this point alone.
 TO the south of it they temporarily gained possession of q small portion of one of our trenches, but were i'm mediately counter attacked with the bayonet and every man in the trench was killed The same thing happened close to the Bethune road, where the Germans gained another of our trench es, only to be bayonetteG to a man.
 After the fighting was over the en- of two hundred, lay thick all along our line. Our casualties were slight.
 This attack, like those delivered at Givenchy and at Zonnenbei1e on the 25th, was Q costly failure. resulting only in Q great waste of life. It was made by some three hundred men in the first line and three hundred more in support occupying the trenches va cated by the first line when it moved forward.
 "Prisoners say that there were 100 dead lying in this trench before the Germans advanced and that none of the troops making the assault had at tackled before
