WASHINGTON, July 6.-That there

ican note on the Lusitania disaster and
the submarine warfare policy of Ger

ports received by the state department
from Ambassador Gerard.
The ambassador is keeping the de-
partment informed, it was learned.
regarding the progress on the note, al
though he has been unable so far to
make a forecast OF its contents.
In view of advices understood to
have been received from the American
ambassador at Berlin, however. there
was less impatience among officials to-
day over the delay in transmitting the
note. 1t is believed Am basSadOr
Gerard at Berlin is convinced that
Germany seeks to make favorable
reply 10 the United States and that
he has advised this government not TO
be unduly jealous in urging an i'm
mediate statement from the kaiser's
government.
Officials Of the state department are
watching closely both official and un
official advices which tend 70 reflect
public opinion In Berlin.
See Eventual Adjustment
The general temper of German
press comments is regarded as indi-
eating an eventual adjustment Of the
differences between the two govern
ments and Ambassador Gerard's re-
cent observations have not been such
as to alarm him Of this government.
It is understood that Germany Will
make a counter proposal Of some
character in its reply 10 the Wilson
note demanding protection for Amer
lean travellers on the high seas.

ports from Berlin, according to state
department officials, but it is learned
that Ambassador Gerard and officials
of the German foreign office have held
a number Of informal conferences.
The apparent object of these confer
ences has been to reach a working
basis upon which the two govern
ments may proceed to discuss and
reconcile their differences.
The exact nature Of the counter pro-
posal which Germany Will make is
now being discussed by the leaders OF
the various factions in the German
government. Ambassador Gerard is
said to be unacquainted in advance
with the probable final decision of
these leaders. but the conferences he
has held are believed 70 have definite
" impreSsed upon the German mind
the view taken in the United States
OF the kind of submarine warfare
which brought an end to the LuSitania
and many Americans aboard her.
Want L. 8. to Issue Warning.
While the United States maintains
the right of her citizens to travel on
Merchant ships, whether or not they
carry war supplies, it is understood
that Germany continues to hope that
she may impose upon this government
moral obligation TO dissuade Amer
leans from taking passage on vessels
believed 10 carry contraband It is
not improbable that the counter pro-
posals made by Germany will contain
a recommendation that this govern
ment take steps TO warn its citizens TO
STAY off vessels which might be sub
iected to attack in the war zone.

COLONEL M'GUNNEGLE
ASKS FOR RETIREMENT
IlI-Health Requires Him To Give
Up Active Service

Col. George X. McGunnegle of the
Infantry has applied for retirement
after more than forty-two years of ac-
tive service. Colonel McGunnegle was
in command of the First Infantry at
Schofeld Barracks up to July 2, 1914,
when he was detached from that regi-
ment and ordered to Fort Mcdowell,
California, where he has since been in
command. At the present time he is
at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, and if his
application for retirement is favorably
acted on, he will not return to Fort
Mcdowell.
The Colonel came to Honolulu with
the First Infantry in 1912, and has a
great number of friends in this city
who will regret to learn that ill-health
has forced him to seek retirement. He
would not be retired for age until June,
1918.
Colonel McGunnegle was appointed
second lieutenant from civil life Oc-
tober l, 1873; he was promoted first
lieutenant in IT, captain in 81, major
in '99, lieut.-col. in '03, and colonel in
'O6, when he was assigned to the First
Infantry. His retirement will promote
Lieut.. Col. Frederick Perkins.

IS SCARCE
s. ON PACIFIC COAST
Practically Everything That Can
Sail Is Snapped Up

Practically everything that can sail
is being snapped up by shippers at San
Francisco and tonnage is extremely
scarce. A number of San Francisco
owned sailing vessels have been
chartered recently for Australian ac-
count to load next fall and some have
been taken for loading as late as 1917.
The rate to Sydney from San Fran
cisco is firm at 95 shillings and will
undoubtedly golon up during the spring
unless something happens to throw
steamers on the market, say San Fran
cisco dispatches.
The immense amount of chartering of
sailers on Australian account would
lead one to believe that the lumber
trade in that direction was excessive
and likely to fizzle out, until it is real
ized that all these vessels now being
Fixed average probably about 5000
feet capacity and can make only about
two trips a year, whereas before the
war tramp steamers of 100000 feet
capacity, making between three and
four trips a year, were frequently en-
Ployed in the trade. Where one small
sailer could carry a million and half
feet in year, a tramp in the same
time could transport eight and a half
million feet.
The chances are, therefore, that the
Australian business will continue dur
ing the coming year fully as heavy as
at present.

MOTORS FORM STAGE
FLEET IN CALIFORNIA

Out in the Imperial valley of Califor.
mia fleet of eighteen Dodge Brothers
motor cars are used as stages. They
are known as the "Pickwick Stages, /"
because of their starting at the Pick
wick Theater, San Diego.
Their route lies across a portion of
the California desert and each car aver
ages about 1000 miles per week. Va
''rious makes of motor ears were tried
out by the Pickwick Stage Company,
which operates the line. About six
mbnths ago the first Dodge Brothers
ear was purchased and subjected to
many tests ON the route. The success
was so striking that several more were
bought and this number has been added
to, until there are now eighteen in use,
and more are " be bought within a
short time.
According to Mr.. Hayes, one of the
proprietOrs of the company, the up
keep on these cars has been remark
ably light, and within year he ex-

Won At Last

THE question of the site for Honoluus fed
= eral building is settled and settled right.
The hard fight which has been carried on, in the
face Of ridicule, condemnation and repeated dis
couragements, by the advocates of the Civic
Center idea has been won and all the efforts made
have been justified. ....
Il has been long, persistent and at times dis
heartening fight this endeavor to have something
done for the Honolulu of tomorrow but the final
victory shows that those few who dug in" six
years ago and held their ground, knew they were
upon the right side and appreciated the fact that
there never could be any settlement of the site
question until it was settled properly.
The final word that has come justifes the long
delay. For very many years to come this city will
remember gratefully those who maintained the
effort to carry the selection of the Irwin Site
through and stuck with it. H. p.r,..'s u,.,,g. ..,,

Traffic Rules For
Pedestrians

THE defense of at least autoist for street
corner accident is that the traffic officer signaed
for him to proceed and he obeyed Instructions his
chine striking pedestrian. Other drivers state that
they are frequently ordered to go ahead when the
crossing before them is thick with people. PedeS-
trians also complain that they considered in
the scheme of things by the traffic officers.
Investigation shows that these complaints are well
founded AS matter of fact, there is nothing what
ever in the instructions given to traffic officers touch
ing upon the rights of pedestrians street crossings
The traffic officer fulfls his whole duty SO far as
ne is under instructions, when he prevents automobiles
from colliding, with the exception that passengers

the sidewalks, this being Incidental to the fact that
an auto cannot pass standing streetcar at
We believe that Sheriff Rose, or whoever is re-
sponsible for the instructions given to the men Of
the traffic squad should include in those instructions
the ordinary rules regarding pedestrian traffic at street
