Russian Soldiers
Sleep When Walking

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
WARSAW, Russia, June s.-Whie the
German army generally effects it's con-
centrations and strategic movement by
railway or automobile transport, the Rus
SLAMS are generally compelled TO travel
on foot During the latest fighting with
its continual play Of advance and retreat.
some OF the Russian corps marched six
days and nights without a single break.
The Russians march fifty minutes and
halt ten minutes every hour During the
halt the footgear Is often changed and
always readjusted. There are halts OF
half an hour and two hours several times
day for meals, but when movements
are being made under pressure. nothing
more. During the movements which
necesBtated six days and nights OF
tramping, the steady marching continued
without interruption, the men sometimes
sleeping as they walked and waking only
when they stumbled and fell. In the last
periods OF this splendid march even the
regulation halts were curtailed. These
men are now in the fighting line, having
come TO the front by forced marches in
order 20 reinforce places threatened by

Haleakala Road MAY
Be By Way Of KuIa
Regarding By Prisoners Will Make
Easy Route to 40OO-FOOt Elevation
Better Climatic Route.

In all probability the long talked
of road up Haleaka,a will be through
Kula and not by way of Olinda, the
present trail route. This idea seems
to be gaining ground and a number Of
good arguments are offered by the ad-
vocates of this course. Perhaps the
strongest is that climatic conditions
are better through Kula, and that
there would be less difficulty in rainy
weather than by Makawao and Olin-
da.
Another reason put forth is that the
present Kula road system reaches an
elevation of 1000 feet, or equal to
that of Olinda, and that with the
relocating now being done between
Pu'ehu and Kealahou, by which a
number of grades will be eliminated
a very fair start for the summit of
the mountain will have already been
made. The convict gang has now be-
gun the regarding of this particular
section, which will require perhaps
six months, and when this is finished
the plan is to continue on the Halea-
kala road proper.

Johnson Not Very
Popular on Maui
RumOr That Bal Resigned From Ma
tional Guard On Account Old Eric
tiOn With New Adjutant General.

By special order of the adjutant
generals department, of the National
Guard of Hawaii, dated August 6,
Major w. e. Bal, of the 3rd battalion,
N. G. H., is placed on the retired list
at his own request. Major Bal had
only held the position about year,
but in resigning he gives as his rea-
son, press of other business.
1t is rumored that the recent ap-
pointment by the Governor of Col,
Sam Johnson as adjutant general to
succeed Colonel ]. w. Jones, may have
also had something to do with Major
Balls decision. 1t is known that John
sons appointment was not a popular
one in some sections of the guard, in
Guiding Maui, where the Colonel had
some serious friction with local Off
GERS during the suppression of strike
at Lahaina some years ago.

Refused to Modify
Hitchcock Charges
Fleming Would ExOnerate Former
0verseer On One Point, But Other
Members Opposed.

AS a result of statements made to
the board of supervisors at its last
meeting by former supervisor Meyer,
of Molokai, Supervisor Fleming on
Thursday offered motion to elimi-
nate the seventh specification in the
charges filed against H. r. Hitchcock,
by the special committee appointed to
look into his record as district over
seer. The suggestion was vigorously
opposed by Pail and others, and no
action was taken.
The charge in question was the one
alleging that Hitchcock had made use
of county mules for doing his own
work. Mr.. Meyer had explained this
by stating that the work was done at
his own suggestion in return for
pressing work for the county which
Hitchcock had done with his own
mules. Mr.. Fleming thought that the
explanation should be accepted as sat
isfactorily explaining the particular
point but he was not supported and
the matter was dropped.

Insurance Company
To Reissue Policies
Accident Board Assured Law Will Be
Complied With-0thers Will Pro-
badly Follow Suit.

The action of the Industrial Acct
dent Board in turning down all of the
policies of workmen's compensation in
surance thus far written in this coun-
ty by the various insurance compan-
les, caused some little CONSERVATION
among the various employers who had
taken out such policies. There was
some question also as to whether or
not the companies would be willing to
write policies which fully comply with
the new law, in which case naturally
the law could not be enforced. How
ever it seems likely that all the COM
panies will make the changes in their
policies required by the board.
The first company to notify the
board of its intention to do this was
the Home Insurance Company, and the
others are expected to follow suit.
Zeno K. Meyers, manager of the Home
company, in letter to the board
states that the London Lancashire
Guarantee and Accident Company of
Canada will have new policy blanks
printed at once to replace all thus far
issued, and the board has granted the
company reasonable time to do this.

Special Meeting Called
On Sunday Movies

Sunday movies for Maui is evidently
still live issue and the board of
supervisors will give special consider
alton to the matter at a meeting to
be held at noon next Monday. Tie
proposition got before the board again
on Thursday through a letter from
Greorge Freeland, of the Pioneer Ho-
tel, who is proprietor of several pic
ture houses on West Maui, and who
has been most interested of the movie
managers for Sunday performance
privileges.
In his letter, Mr.. Freeland states
that, in order to test the popular de-
mand for Sunday shows, he has lately
given on Sundays free performances,
under advice of the County Attorney
At the first of these, on July 25, the
attendance was 1850 and on August
8, still larger crowd was entertained

his case.

Wailuku Water is
Bad Says Forbes
Loan Fund Commission and Supervi-
SOrs Working on Solution of Pro-
blem-TankS for Kahului.

In an interview given by Charles
X. Forbes, superintendent of public
works, on his return to Honolulu last
Saturday. he declared that Wailuku's
water supply is polluted and not fit
for human consumption. While this
isn't exactly news to local people,
there has been more or less indiffer-
ence on the subject, probably because
no epidemics have resulted that could
be traced to this source.
The loan fund commission held an
other meeting this week, the chief
consideration being the improvement
of the Wailullu-Kahului waterworks.
which includes the extension of the
intake pipe more than a mile above
its present terminus. The question of
a 1O-inch pipe or an 8-inch line for
making this extension was one of the
matters that has not yet been de-
cided. Superintendent Forbes urged
the larger size, but other members of
the commission are inclined to believe
that the S-inch pipe would be amply
large.
Tanks Ordered For Sand Hills.
At the supervisors meeting on Wed
nesday the board decided to help out
the inadequate Kahului water supply
by the erection of five 10000 gallon
redwood tanks on the sandhills above
the K. of p. building. These TANKS
have already been ordered and will be
erected as soon as delivered, thus af-
fording the Kahului consumers a re-
serve supply of 100000 gallons. The
cost of the tanks is to be 1925 each,
which does not cover cost of cree
ton and connecting.
