Notes From
War Fields

Rome, Aug. 10, (via Paris) .--Advices
of a confidential nature received here
from Athens outline what is declared
to be the policy decided upon by form
er Premier Venizelos, who has been
asked by King Constantine to form a
cabinet and has announced his readi-
ness to do so. The outline is substan-
italy as follows:
NJ. Venizelos aff1rms that he has no
preconceived bias against the central
empires. What ne wishes to achieye,
the advices state, is the union of all
Greek territories, which, in his view
is only obtainable now by fighting
Turkey.
Accomplishment Of Greek aspirations
by cooperation with the entente ale
lies would, in the view Of M. Venizelos,
as outlined from Athens, have been
easier before Italy entered the war,
because of the occupation by Italy of
Aegean islands. claimed by Greece, and
now further complicated by Greek ex-
pansion in Epireus, in southern Al
bania, thus arousing Italian jealousy
NJ. Venizelos, 1t is declared, may
consent to the territorial concessions
in the Balkans on the condition that
Greece maintain a predominant posi-
ton in the peninsula, but her partici-
patton with the entente allies now i'm
plies greater demand, in the repre-
sented view of M. Venizelos, since
AuStro- German successes augment the
value Of her Intervention.
The former premier's object, the
Athens advices declare, is to obtain for
Greece what Cayour achieved for
Italy, and he feels that she must have
her national aspirations of becoming q
great power in southeastern Europe
satisfied, or risk nothing.

The three women moved to Reich

Austria. They maintained themselves
apparently by sewing and seamstress

there were found quantity OF postal

they had received funds from other
sources.

FLORAL PARADE
MAY AGAIN BEA
CARNIVAL Event
Director General Cooper Hopes
to Have Two Special Fea-
tures, Including Big Electric
Float Display - Announce
lnent Of Appointment Made

A revival Of the floral parade on
which the Mid.Pacific Carnival was
founded and which for years was the
main feature. Is planned by Director
general Cooper. Director Cooper Is
now st work on several ideas which
may give Honolulu the biggest and
prettiest floral parade ever held.
In fact, there may be an afternoon
and evening parade Judge Cooper is
considering q plan whereby the after.
noon parade VIII consist of decorated
cars and the evening parade decorat-
ed floats. Furthermore. he has taken
up with the Rapid Transit company
the idea OF having the floats on Dat
cars, beautifully embellished. the pa
rade then being held over the Rapid
Transit lines TO Aala park.
This may further develop into a
splendid display of electric decora-
tons. since the light could be obtained
from the trolley-lines.
This still is to be decided upon and
worked out, but the plans are progress
sing hopefully said Director Cooper
today. 1T win be matter of getting
the car-equipment now stored and
then decorating these bodies or
frames"
In planning to separate the parades
of floats and autos the director gen
eral is needing the comment OF those
who have entered decorated autos In
the past but felt they were somewhat
overshadoweds by tie huge and highly
ornamental floats often but few feet
away.
Another idea In connection with the
floral parade revival is that each en-
trant in the auto parade may reserve
q particular kind of flower to be used
on his or her car and nowhere else.
Judge Cooper is getting In touch with
the Japanese makers OF artificial fiow-
ers, so that In case the parade is de-
cided upon the flower-making industry
can be systematized and patrons be
assured service at moderate prices
Much of the making of these arti-
fetal flowers Is in the hands of Jap
anese now working as house-servants

JAPANESELNES
MAY RETALIATE
Hint at Refusal OF Chinese Ton
mage as Revenge for Boy
cot Going on IN Asia

That the prime motive back Of the
proposed Americana Chinese steamship
line between San Francisco, Honolu.
lu and China Is the fear of the Japan
ese lines, the T. K. K and N. Y. X.
refusing to accept shipments OF Chi
nese merchandise from China to this
city and the mainland ports. as re-
taliation for the existing boycott in
China against Japanese goods. was
authoritativeIy stated here today by
prominent Honolulu Chinese mer-
chants and businessmen.
With the Pacific Mail going out OF
business entirely in November the
only recourse left Chinese merchants
here will be to order their goods ship
ped here from China by the Japanese
lines.
Honolulu Chinese fear the Japanese
lines may refuse to accept Chinese
merchandise for shipment, unless the
Chinese boycott is called off.
Prominent Japanese this morning
were inclined not to take the boycott
rumor seriously, and said they did not
believe the Japanese lines would re-
fuse to accept Chinese merchandise
for shipment after the Pacific Mail
withdraws its service.

Work to Be Attempted

Jack Agraz dropped down to the
harbor floor this morning and made

rine F-4 He found the boat in the
same position as at the last inspection
with no appreciable drifting OF sand.
However, the. big canvas mats used
to cover the gaping hole In the sub
Marines bow are somewhat torn. The
lines are still In place. but the action
of the water has cut up the covering
itself.
: According to Capt. Crittenden, com.
manding the submarine division, there
will be no repair work attempted, as
the cruiser Maryland, with gear for
raising the sunken boat is expected in
side of 10 days.
The submarines are all to be dry
docked prior to the annual engineering
competition runs. The F.2 went on
the dock last Monday morning. II will
require about 10 days to thoroughly
overhaul each of the boats.

II orders can be sent them long time
in advance they viii do the work much
more cheaply In their spare time,
says the director-general. The idea
of arranging so that auto owners may
choose their own flower and avoid du-
plication or conflict can be worked out
satisfactorily, think. One auto would
be decorated with lilies, the next with
roses, then cherry-blossoms, etc. This
would give q striking effect"
The following appointments were
announced by the director-general to-
dsy.

shown the director-general that he
possesses marked talent in poster
