All STEAMERS TO

TO help ALLIES
Half a Dozen Big Freighters
VIII Take Horses and AM
munition to France

Having freighted many thousands
of tons Of sugar from Hawaii to New
York by the Panama canal during the
grinding season, which is coming
to close and will not reopen until
December, several American-Hawai-
ian freighters will undoubtedly be
placed in transatlantic trade, carrying
freight, also cavalry and artillery hors-
es to French ports for the Allies, it
was learned today.
Inquiry at the American-Hawaiian
agency here this morning showed that
one freighter of this concern, the Mis-
sourian, is now engaged in carrying
horses from New York TO ST. LaZare,
France, presumably for use in the
Allies armies.
Whether placing its extra boats,
which are not needed between grind
ing seasons, on the transatlantic run
carrying such contraband cargo as
army horses will make the big freight
ers lawful game for German subma-
rines, was not stated by the local of
flee, which said, however, that the
company is not taking any bigger risk
than other American lines now carry
ing munitions of war from New York
to England and the Continent The
American Hawaiian will probably have
nearly half a dozen ships available,
now that the sugar-carrying rush is
over. # s -. ~>..~

as TO whether this freighter has re-

After September, the Honolulu Of

only every "a days from Puget Sound;
instead of every 10 days as at present.
The Kentuckian, arriving here Sep
tember 4, will be the last freighter on
the old schedule The Texan, leav-
ing New York August 16, win arrive
here September 26, and the Arizonan,
leaving September 8, is due to dock
here October 20. Grinding begins
again in December, when the old sche-
dule will be resumed.

has caused the Congress of the Unit

ton of American shipping engaged in
the coastwise trade by the passage of
the act of June 10, 1886, Oh. 421, "a

this fine is increased to two hundred

passage of these acts the conditions
intended to be remedied are so ma

acquisition of territory at distance
of more than two thousand miles from

One of Submarines Has Been
0verhauled, Another Is
Now in Drydock

Preparatory to annual competitive
runs, tests and torpedo practise, the
submarine flotilla stationed here is
being given thorough oyerhauling
renovating and cleaning.
Under the direction of Lieut.. K. B.

ships of the iIl-fated F-4, are rapidly
getting into condition for the tests.
The F-2's dry-dock overhauling has
been completed. and the boats en-.
gines are now receiving attention. The
F-3 is now in drydoek, and after it has
had everything needful done, the FL
will go in to have its machinery and
hull gone over.
Among the. things which receive
particularly careful attention on each
submarine during the annual over.
hauling, are the tanks and zines in
various parts OF the hulls
All the tanks are cleaned cut, and
zinc parts on each boat replaced with
new ones wherever any indication of
corrosion appears or wherever there
is any chance fer corrosion to take
place. =.=.. f:.

panied by the Maryland. There are
