LONDON, December 4.---Declarations
that the Allies have no thought Of peace
under present circumstances. but are de-
termined to fight the war through until
the cause of the Allies had won com,
pletely, were made in two parliameuts
yesterday, Bonar Law, former leader
of the Uuionists and now secretary of
state for. the colonies in the coalition
cabinet, speaking. in the name of the
British government and Baron SOnni
minister of foreign affairs in the Salan
dra cabinet, speaking for Italy.
Italian Stand Reiterated
Baron SonninO reiterated the Italian
stand against any separate peace, stat.
ing that Italy had adhered to the gen
eral agreement of the Allies to stand
Rrmly together III til the wSr had been
either lost or won, refusing either to
enter into any diplomatic cOnserva-
tiOns on the quest on of peace or to
conclude any treaties of peace individ
ually.
Italy will adhere to the agreement
signed in London. which binds each of
the Allies not to conclude any seperate
peace with all or any one of the
enemy" he 'announced. ''Italy is de-
termined to continue this war vigo-
rOusly with all her forces until the
sacred aspirations of the nation have
been reached and realized, facing any
sacrifice that the struggle to the end
may involve"
Enemy Must Be Beaten.
Bonar Law. speaking in the British
house of commons in regard to the va.
rious suggestions for peace that have
been advanced, declared that the gov.
eminent and the nation are unrespon-
sive to any talk of peace and are bent
firmly on waging the war until the
enemy is beaten. Despite the reverses
on land, the Allies are not beaten, he
stated.
at is useless to believe that Ger
many will relinquish Belgium, Serbia,
Poland and Alsaee until the Teutons
are BEATEN declared the minister.
It is the feeling here that men and
munitions will finally win for the Al
lies and the advocates of peace are
dwindling. lHsge

ONDON, December Awhile there
are no official combinations of the
news Of the RussiSu advance
against Bulgaria by way of Rumania,
it appears to be taken for granted in all
the capitals that the Slav advance has
begun and that the Russians, under
General Kuropatkin, are rapidly getting
within striking distance of the Bulgars
and their German reinforcements along
the Danube.
Based upon this attack from the north
against the line Of communication just
opened with Turkey, the Teutons and
their allies are slowly developing the
second phase of their Balkan campaign.
Invaders In New Movement.
1t is expected that the Germans,
under Field Marshal Won Mackensen,
will be diverted almost altogether in.
to Bulgaria, to hold the line there
against the Russian onslaught, while
the Southern Bulgarian army, released
from activity against the Serbs, will
be concentrated in the Vardar Valley

No Germans For Gallipoli
The reports current in France that
Germany intends t0isenGia force to the
Galiipoli, to help the Turks, is not
credited here, it being the belief that
Germany cannot spare any troops ex-
cePt for Bulgaria.
A special despatch to the Telegraph
from Salonika last night says that the
situation in Greece is felt to be berry
unsatisfactory.

Greece must not be allowed to con

Loan Shark System In Full

Uncovered Here 4

A full grown "loan shark /" system,
combining all the squeeze features of
the mainland "skinners" with a few
local attributes that even the main

has apparently been uncovered by the.

The alleged Sloan sharks" have
been in operation for the. T st year,
dealing principally with policemen,
fremen and laborers employed by the
city. The warrants were sworn to by
Deputy Attorney William T. Garden
in Judge Ashford's court.

the city attorney g Office from time to
time, alleging that men in the employ
Of the city are constantly being stung
by the system employed by certain
loan sharks, I" said Mr.. Garden yester.
day. -. r. .aRr. -,.' ...
In presenting the first of the evi
dence to Attorney Garden, which was
that Of man who had only been able
to draw one dollar from his month 5
salary, City Attorney Brown instructed
hIm to make complete investigation.
'"I want you to go after these men
as hard as you possibly can, and l want
every man connected with a scheme
such as this seems to be lodged in Jail,
no matter who he is" he told his
deputy.
Some Gases Are cited
Mr. Garden then began piling up the
evidence which resulted in the arrests.
In one case Vivichaves is reported to
have loaned a man thirteen dollars in
February Of this year. The borrower
paid back eight dollars of the loan, but
when the bill was presented to the un-
fortunate few days ago, with interest
compounded, the man owed balance

his loan in March Of the same year, he
found that he owed forty dollars.
The men under arrest are saidato be
charging as high as ten TO twenty per
cent for fifteen to twenty days and
forty per cent per month.
Fourteen warrants have been issued
against 'Vivichaves, who seems to be
the ringleader of the lenders. Waymlan
has two warrants against him and the
rest one apiece.
The bail in the case Of Viviehaves
was set at $500, Wayman $500 and the
others $1,000 each.
Bond was furnished for the alleged
'roan sharks" late last night. Most
of the security was given by j. Alfred

Great Northern To
90 TO Frisco I'M
Less Than Z Days.

Mail will"be carried regularly by the
Hill steamer,<Great Northern between
the Islands and the Coast. Definite in.
formation came to the postoffice yester-
day morning that the second assistant
postmaster general had authorized des-
patches by ships of the Great Northern
Pacific Steamship Company between
San Francisco, San Pedro, Hilo and Ho-
nolulu and return.
This will give Honolulu a mail ser
vice unsurpassed anywhere now, and in
peace times only by the great Cunard
ers. The first despatch will go in the
Great Northern when she sails for San
Francisco at eleven o'clock Monday
night, mails closing at nine clock.
Despatch Will Be Record
1t is believed, by those who have
information of the plans of the com
pany, that this mail will arrive in San
Francisco Friday evening, less than
four days from Honolulu.
The schedule of the twenty. four
mile an hour turbine twin screw steam
er calls for four and one half days to
San Francisco, but this will be cut on
the first voyage, it is said on excellent
authority, to probably three days and
eighteen or twenty hours. Reports from
the Coast had been, long before the
steamer sailed, that on her first home
ward voyage she would set mark
for almost any liner in the world to
shoot at.
If the Great Northern goes to San
Francisco in three days and eighteen
hours she will average twenty-three and
one fourth miles an hour. An even
four days run would mean twenty-one
and three fourths miles an hour. She
came here from San Francisco in Feb
ruary, in four days, ten hours and for,
~ three minutes, the record.
Mauretania Is FASTEST
The Transatlantic record was made by
the Cunard liner Mauretania September
Ills, 1910, from New York to Queens
town, 2Sl4 miles, in four days, ten hour
and forty one minutes. The Maureta
MIA, however, has much more speed
having made 27.04 miles an hour for
one day, Go miles. This was in Janu,
airy, 1911.
1t is not considered at all probable
that there will be any serious attempt
u COHllnut SutH idbt run W -e"N
Coast. The average down will not ex
coed twenty miles an hour On the last
day out from San Pedro to Hilo the
speed was cut to about seventeen miles
so she would not arrive too MUCH ahead
of time She could have got to Hilo
Wednesday, had it been desired.
Mail also will be carried between San
Francisco and San Pedro and Hilo viii

The mails from the Coast will be only
