SCHEME CONCENTRATES
FILLING lNoF SWAMPS


A project that contemplates the reela-
nation of the entire swamp lands Of
Waikiki, and for the conversion Of that
district into beautiful residential
tract--GoveTnor Pinkham s dream de-
cade ago-was disclosed at a meeting
of the directors of the chamber of com,
merce yesterday by Emil Bcrndt, chair
man Of the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee. ,'i5 -1hltA
Governor Pinkham is working on this
project now and proposes TO lay his
plans for its realization before the legis-
latIire when 1t convencs next month,
stated Mr.. Berndt. The chief executive
will ask that the reclamation revolving
fund be increased $l50,000, and tina
money be used to drain and fill tn ,
obnoxious swamps of Waikiki.
Divides Districts Into Units
"The plan Is to divide the district
into units of about two hundred feet
by five hundred. The revolving fund
will be reimbursed as the filing goes
on, on the same scheme as that IN
force at KakaakO where the reclamation
work has been undertaken,' said Chair.
man Berndt after the meeting.
BY filing in this swamp land, we
dispose Of the nuisance caused by the
two streams. The property can be con.
domned as being a menace to public
health, and the reclamation work start.
cd rs soon as the $4,000 is available
1t would be great thing for tn
eity-the greatest thing possibIe-to
have these lands filed in. They arr
certainly an eye-sore; we certainly can
never have q city beautiful as long rs
they are in existence,
Scheme Most Feasible
The governor 5 plan to my mind /,
perfectly and unquestionably feasible
You understand, he will not have tc
ask that the legislature appropriate thi,
$l50000, bnt merely that H. put such

JAY COULD EASILY
REFINED his TITLE

Jay Gould, the amateur court tennis
champion of the world, not only retain.
ed his title during the 1914 season, but
proved himself the greatest exponent
Of the game the world has ever seen by
decisively defeating George r. Convey,
Of England holder Of the world : pro,
fessional title, in special match for
the open championship. \
Gould first went to England, where
he met Convey on his own court in the
first half of the match. After an ex.
citing struggle, Gould was defeated by
a narrow margin. The second half Of
the match was played in Philadelphia,
and IL was then that young Gould show.
ed his marvellous skill. He completely
outpIayed the more experienced player,
both as to speed and accuracy, and won
seven sets to one for the Englishman.
Not satisfied with this, Gould easily
upheld his form in defending his anna
teur title, and then, paired with W. II.
II. HUM, successfully defended his III
tie in the doubles. @
The young American champions ex-
perience in previous encounters with
the world s greatest professional court
tennis players had evidently polished
and rounded of his game. His control
over all his shots at no matter what
position in the court, and his terrific
service, together proved combination
against which his rivals stood practical

ager of the United Press.

cused OF misinterpreting remarks Of
the German finance minister concern.
ing Germany's internal financial stu.
alton. 1t is possible the North Ger
man Gazette may shortly announce
the finance minister's remarks about
Germany's enemies paying for the
war, are similarly misunderstood
But 1t is not legitimate to infer this
outcome for the moment. Germany
knows the allies now believe the Ger.
man army is now fighting for tribute.
As long as that impression is allowed
to go uncorrected, it must be assum-
ed by the allies to be true. If it be
true, there certainly can be no peace
till one side or the other is so finan-
cially exhausted that all possibility Of
obtaining an indemnity would have
vanished.
That is, since eXhausting rather
than tribute is preferred by all Of the
belligerents, the idea OF levying
tribute really defeats itself. There
can be no tribute-that is. no tribute
worth fighting for-col1ected from a
nation that is bankrupt To persist
in a demand for tribute. therefore, un-
der present conditions, means to per-
sist in fighting the war to a devastat-
ing end. Such conclusion would
leave the victor scarcely better off
than the vanquished and certainly un-
able to make good the losses such q
conflict would entail

limited Press Leased Wire Service.1
NEW YORK, Sept. Germany has
now recognized Sir Edward Grey's
charge that the Teutonic people are
fighting for tribute. No denial is made
to the charge. Instead, the German
newspapers taunt England with being
more fearful Of paying war indem-
nity than of seeing her allies lose any
territory.
This is declared in Berlin to be the
reason why the British are so anger
ed at the mention OF the word "trib-
ute" The argument, however, is not
legitimate. England herself, with her
grip on the lost colonies, and her sue
cessful blockade of German shipping
is certainly not in a position of dis
advantage. There can be no levy of
tribute on England nor any seizure
OF British territory, either under pres
ent conditions. or under any condi-
tions at all likely to arise before the
conclusion of the war.
The German newspapers are not ig-
norant of these things. Probably they
are attempting to confuse the issue
of war indemnities; Or they are try
ing to create International excitement
and trepidation so as to reap a reac-
ton in their favor If they announce
later that they want no tribute. There
is a hint in the official North German
Gazette that the latter possibility
may. be the right one. England is &C.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 2. - General

The fortress Of LUX has been evacu-

loss in men or guns and the Slavs, fall.
inu back in tho direction Of Dubno
fortress, have taken 10000 prisoners.
The Austrian plan to pierce the Rus
sian line in this region, roll up the
right flank Of General lvanoff's forces
and cut off the Russian army corps
operating In Gaiicia has broken down.
The enemy has made no material
gains, but on the contrary has suffered
heavily in killed and captured. The
Siav line already has been reformed.
Half a million Austro-Germans are
now engaged in the attempt to sweep
the Russians out Of Galicia, but de-
spite their most determined efforts.
supported by heavy shell fire, the en-
emy forces have been unable to break
the Siav front. Il Is admitted here
that the complete evacuation OF Gal
ician territory may be necessary be-
cause Of tho enemy's superiority in
men and shells, but the. present retire
ment in the Strlpa region is being ac-
complished with very slight losses.

In some quarters Il was believed to-
day that the Austrian movement

critics here, however, believe that the
enemy's efforts will be next concen-
trated in an attempt against Petrograd.
