New Leader of Band Has
Written Songs of Hawaii

Peter Kalani, recently appointed
leader OF the Hawaiian Band to
succeed Capt Henri Berger, has been
interested In music since a small boy.
Mr.. Kalani was born In Honolulu 3S
years ago, and as soon as he became
strong enough began twanging the
strings Of the ukulele and the taro-
patch.
He played during his boyhoOd with
various orchestras about the city, be-
ing musical Instructor OF the Ellis
Prothers Glee Club and later Of Kaai's
Glee Club, and in 1895 joined the
Hawaiian band. With the change
OF government in 1898, Mr.. Kalani left
the local organization. and under the.
leadership of Professor LiborDio went,
together with several of the other
band boys, on tour OF the United
States. In the course OF the tour
more than 300 cities were visited
After two years Mr.. Kalani again
returned TO Hawaii and joined the
band under Cayta Berger in the year
1900. Since that time, save for brief
vacations and engagements with local
orchestras. he he's been with the band
continually.
He has made careful study of har-
mony and counterpart and is the
composer OF several Hawiian songs.
three OF which have been published
and have become well known. These
are @Ufna Loko, Sweet Sweeting,"
and Maid OF Honolulu" He is also
the composer of a great many pieces
for band and orchestra, among them
being Hula Hula Girl, "Hapa HaoIe,"
Mayor Lane March, and 1915 Con-
gressional Party March, A great
many old Hawaiian songs have been
arranged and set In medleys by him.
Kalani deeply appreciates the hon
or or bis new position. He has many
kind words for Capt. Berger. under
whom he served for so many years
and whose place he has just taken
All the boys says the new leader,
hate 10 see Capt. Berger 60. but they
realize that the work was becoming
too hard for one Of HIS years, and they
rejoice with him in his well earned
rest

TURKISH TRENCHES
FALL TO BRITISH
Ottoman Offensive Weakens on
GallipOli and Allies Force
Fighting with Success.

London, June 15.-The following an
nouncement concerning the operations
at the Dardanelles was given out here
officially to-day:
THE situation on the Gallipoli PEN
insula has developed into trench war
fare. After our success on the all
inst. the Turks have evinced a great
respect for our offensive, and by day
and night they have to submit to capt
ures of trenches.
"The situation is favorable to our
forces, but is necessarily slow on ac-
count OF the difficulties Of the ground.
The Turkish offensive has sensibly
weakened"
There have been so many rumors re-
Gently that the Allies had forced the
DGrdanelles that Sir James II. Dalziel
asked Premier Asquith this afternoon
IN the House Of Commons IL there was
any truth in such reports.
"None whatever" was the reply. The
Premier said that II was not in the
public interest to say anything now
about the Dardanelles. 1.-THE opera
tiOns are of the highest Importance. !"
he added, "and they will be pushed to
q successful conclusion"

HUNGARY UNEASY
OVER WAR LOAN
Only $3OO,OOO,O00 Subscribed
Government Threatens While
People Face Starvation.
By Cable to The Thbunel

London, June 15.-The Hungarian
war loan does not show any substan-
tial increase, in spite of the great
pressure and advertisement, says "The
Morning Posts" correspondent at
Budapest. The Czech mobiles and the
great industrial firms, who were re-
ported in the first war loan with
amounts of only $4,000 to $4,000, have
now subscribed amounts of 100000,
and in one case $l,000000. The old
Emperor subscribed twice very large
amounts and all the members of the
royal family have followed his exam
pie Yet it seems to be of no avail,
for. though no official statement has
been published, it is generally known
that the loan does not exceed $780,
100000.
The government is beginning to show
some Impotence and uneasiness and
is changing its policy of mild pressure
20 something more effective. Neiled
threats appear day by day in the gov
eminent organs, some directed against
the clergy, others against the great
land owners To-day one of the semi
official organs openly threatens govern
ment contractors.
The economic situation, especially
the immense rise in food prices, is
making things still worse, for the small
capitalist will not invest a penny for
fear conditions may become still worse.
Meat ia only the food of the rich,
prices being 800 to 400 per cent higher
than they were at this time last year.
Not even horsehesh is available for
the multl+udes.
