HE COULD BREAK
THE GERMAN LINE
But at a Sacrifice Of More Than q
Million Lives, Says
Joffre
TUETON LINES GROW WEAK
Allies Dependence for Victory Is
In More and Superior
Artillery

A newspaper man abroad sends
home an unveritied story of Gen
eral Joffre's views of what the
Allies, in his opinion, could do. 1t
is interesting, whether reliable or
not, and for that reason is pub
lished here. 1t quotes Gen. Joffre
as saying:
II can break the German line
at any point from Flanders to
Switzerland and drive the German
armies across Belgium and
France to their own fortified
lines, whenever choose. If l Or
dered that move today it would
cost me, and the British, 1885,
900 men in casualties"
STAFF Officer Tells Story
So General Joffre declared him.
self within the past ten days, ac-
cording to a staff officer connect
ed with Gen. Sir Douglas Haig's
army.
The officer said his informant
concerning Joffre's talk was a
staff officer at General French S
headquarters. Whether Joffre is
supposed to have used these
words while visiting British
general headquarters or whether
word of them was carried from
French headquarters, he appar-
emily did not know. These words
Of Joffre are not given as anthem
tic.
They are presented as having,
first, some measure of plausible
ity, because British staff officers
are not in the habit of lying, and,
second, because if not authentic
they are of interest as represent
ing the opinion of staff officers
in the field, for such statement
would not be accepted as true by
officers familiar with all the con-
ditions unless they more or less
agreed with it.
My informant made no attempt
to quote Joffre directly beyond the
statement quoted above, but he
outlined that he. said Joffre had
remarked concerning the present
situation. ! give the gist OF this.
with the reservation made above.

TRACE
Of BRIDVELL IN
BRYANS CABLE

John G. Bridwell, assistant superin-
tendent of entomology at the govern
ment nursery in Honolulu, who appar-
emily disappeared somewhere along
the west coast of Africa shortly after
the outbreak of the. European war last
August, has been heard from Indirect
~, though the news is more than two
months old and his present where
abodts are still unknown.
A cable came to the territorial sec
retarys office this morning from Sec
rotary of State w. J. Bryan, in re-
sponse to the official inquiry institut-
ed by w. w. Thayer several weeks ago
in behalf of Bridwelrs friends and
family. ~ ... 49,
Translated into readable English
the cable from the state department
says the American consul at Tene
rife, Just o ffthe coast of West Africa,
wires that he has received word from
the governor. of Lagos, to the effect
that Bridwell departed from Lagos,
the capital of the colony OF that name,
on November I, sailing on the steam
.er Tiger for Durham. The last-men-
toned town is on the southeast coast
of the Dark Continent, and presum-
ably Bridwell intended making his
way hemeWard by way of Australia
or the Orient. No later word has come
from him, however. '-
Bridwell left Honolulu early last
spring for Africa with David 4. Full
away, entomologist of the United
States experiment station, in search
of fruit fly parasite. Their search
was successful, Fullaway returning
home with the insects in September.
He and Bridwailf separated at Tene-
rife, starting homeward by different
routes. No direct word has come to
BridwelPs family or friends since that

Information supplied by McDevftt
when called to the witness stand led
the police to take steps to take into
custody a party of ehauffeurs who are
! alleged to have gambIed at the Lewis
stables on King street.
The house on Guilleek avenue
where the arrests were made yester-
day was rented by Mrs. Anna Gertz
to Sam Mcmillan, according to testi-
mony given at the hearing Mrs.
Gertz had served notice upon the ten
ants that they must vacate the prem

at Mahukona, Hawaii, some days ago
The Defender, in command Of Cap.
tain C. Erickson sailed from Papeete.
Tahiti, on December IL. The vessel
met with contrary winds and heavy

REHEAR|NG ON
AMUSEMENT PIER
Harbor Board Discusses Re-
consideration of Refusal to
Permit Project at Waikiki

A reconsideration OF the harbor
boards refusal to permit the erection
CT an amusement pier at Waikiki
beach is to be asked. This was
the statement made by Chairman
Charles r. Forbes at meeting of the
board today. @. G. Bocktis, originator
of the amusement pier plan, also told
the Star Bulletin that he will take up
the matter with the board within a
few days.
While II was the consensus Of opin-
ion of the commissioners that there
are no grounds for further considera-
tion, it rs possible that a new hearing
may be granted.
Acting upon the suggestion of Mr..
Forbes | will ask that the bearc fur
ther reconsider its decision said Mr..
Bockus. When the board made its
first decision Mr. Forbes advised me
to wait about two weeks and then
bring the matter before the board. He
told me he would see that the matter
was given further consideration.
The possibility OF a request for a
further hearing on the pier project
was discussed at SOME length at the
meeting.
IF the matter comes up again and
is put to the board in writing" said
Commissioner James Wakefield, I'VE
win have to say something. We might
have rehearing, but ! believe we
should be final In our decision"
Chairman Forbes said that If a re.
quest is received for a further coisid.
Grafton, the board should look thor
oughIy into the merits OF such a pier.
The board perhaps would be able to
select some location in Honolulu har-
Dor where the erection OF q pier would
be satisfactory to 1t and to the public,
was his belief. He further stated that
the Territorial Hotel Company would
remove the pier at the Moana hotel
with the understanding that an amuse-
ment pier was not to be constructed
there.
The members of the board and j.
Z. Sheedy, general superintendent of
the 1nter-Island Steam Navigation
Company, engaged in q lively discus
sion as to the feasibility and adyisa-
BiIity Of the board amending the pre-
sent dockage rates to make the mini
mum charge a quarter instead OF one
half day.
Mr.. Sheedy contended that, in the
case Of the steamer Mauna Kea, the
Inter-Island has to pay wharfage rates
for "a hours when the vessel is tied
up to the wharf from Z O'Clock in the
morning until O'Clock in the after
noon Such rates. he said. were "out-
rageous." and asked that some action
be taken by the board whereby a
Quarter-day be made the minimum
charge Mr.. Sheedy was asked to put
his complaint in writing. This viii
be turned over to the boards commit
tee on rules for consideration.
The members Of the board win leave
for Kauai IA the steamer Kinau next
Tuesday to inspect properties at Ko-
loa and Waimea. It was reported
that the A1ahola. Kauai. wharf has
been abandoned and the material from
'it shipped to Hanalef J.. d. Dongher.
~, carnival director, was asked to
supply the board with the dates on
which the Carnival directors wish to
use the territorial wharves during the
celebration.
The meeting adjourned until 7:30
o'clock this evening.

1t is suggested that Governor Pink
hams letter refusing to allow open
ing of the Waiakea homestead lots un-
I'll public utility arrangements good
for all time had been completed was
due to an error on his part, in that
he was referring to the Kuhio bay
lots, while the letter he was answer
ing had reference to the Waiakea
homesteads. Perhaps this is the most
plausible explanation of the govern
or's letter, though the text of the cor
respondence, published last week,
showing references to the leases un-
DER which 1t is held, ETC.. hardly leaves
room for such an error. On the other
hand, it is unthinkable that the exc
cutfve can purpose to close a large
tract of land, which seems to be de-
sired by settlers, till public utility cor.
