TURKEYS FOR CHRISTMAS
ARE SCARCE THIS SEASON
Wet Weather Has Depleted
FIocks of kona Birds

The business of the territorial mark
ct has not been very great since the
removal to the new location as there
has not been a large shipment of any
kind received. The Claudine, arriving
here yesterday morning, brought corn,
potatoes and poultry but the shipments
of turkeys will not amount to more
than dozen or two between now and
Christmas.
This year the turkey crop of Kona,
where the great supply of the birds
comes from, is very short on account of
the wet weather early in the season.
The rains killed off the young birds
and where. last year there were more
than $500 turkeys shipped to the deal
ers in Honolulu from Hawaii this year
there are less than thousand.

The Germans displayed their usual
'horoughness. Three temporary bridges
were thrown across the Vistula: the
electric light. gas and water plants
were restored: there was early evil
dence OF industrial activity; a housc-to-
house search was made and every COP
per vessel WAS confiscated: metal was
stripped from any places in which it
had been left: articles of wool were
gathered similarly
Hundreds OF men who previously
had worked in factories were given the
choice Of internment in Germany or

who prefer forced labor to COMPULSORY

No confirmation has been received so

Woln, member of the crew, was lost
with the Hesperian. 1t was pointed
out that the situation would not be
changed If this proved TO be true. The
American government has taken the
ground that the placing OF American
lives in jeopardy by illegal acts is as
grave an offcnse as the actual destruc-
