A correspondent sends me newspaper clip
ping 1t tells OF the sentence of IS year boy
to serve one year in Jail because he convicted
OF stealing II cents, as well to pay fine of SIS.
The Judge doubtless believed that stealing was
stealing no matter what the amount might be.
People who argue in that way are unquestonably
right. But they sometimes go astray in their de-
ductions. 1t appears that before being sentenced,
the boy spent eighty days in JAIL waiting for trial
This circumstance may have had a softening eff

Where the King Has Constant.
ly Kept at the Business of
Building Up Army.

ATHENS, Greece, Dec. 9.-Should
Greece enter the European war arena
some interesting military figures will
be added to those already in tho
martial limelight. for Greece has seen
quite q few wars since the middle
nineties-indeed. she has seen little
else, and these has grown up among
a certain class of the Greek people
strong military tradition.
To the average Greek the great
military figure of his country is Con-
stantine l.. the king of Greeks. But
his greatness rests rather on the
tenacity and enthusiasm with which
he has constantly kept ut the bust
ness OF building up Greek army
and the personal courage with which
he has taken the active command
of his country's troops in the last
two successful wars. That he is q
military genius in any sense. none OF
the real military men OF the coun-
try pretend. The real military
genius Of Greece In the as yet merely
Balkan sphere of his activities, is
General Victor Dousmanis, general OF
brigade. chief Of the general stan
Of Greece. In Greece only the king
Ia q field marshal-and Constantine
is field marshal not only OF Greece
but Prussia as well.
Rapid Strides.
For his age, General Dousmanis
has made rapid strides to arrive at
the supreme effective command of
the army of $4,000 men in time Of
peace and, roughly. $4,000 men in
time OF war. He was born on August
20. Greek calendar-September 2 our
calendar-1S61. on the island of
Corfu. He has been professional
soldier all his life graduating from
the military school and entering the
regular army ut once as a second
lieutenant in 1883. where he had a
rapid rise in the engineering branch
of the service.
When the disastrous war with
Turkey was undertaken in 1897,
Dousmanis had already been a
captain seven years. He was attach.
ed to the general staff OF the then
crown prince, now the king. As
much below medium stature as the
king is above average height. as

Intimation that decline in raw su

gestion OF freight In Cuban ports is

cal Sugar Trade Journal of February

Il was the failure OF Cuban planters
TO get ships to take their crops to

Altogether the congested state OF
the sugar trade seems to us to be
about over, and will gradually work
back to near normal conditions again.
AT this level the offerings of raws
have largely increased for March ship

extreme freight congestion which has

WALUkUPROFITS
ARE SWELLED BY
IMPROVEMENTS

improvements made on the Waikiki
plantation in the last six years are
increasing the company's profits, n.
B. Penhallow, reported at the annual
meeting Of the stockholders today. As
a result of the Improvements the re-
pairs account for the last year on the
Maui property was $4,000 less than in
the previous year.
The 1914 crop, Penhallow reported.
was 10000 tons, exceeding the estt-
mate by 500 tons, principally becauss
Of better work in the mill and boiling
house. The 1915 crop is delayed be.
cause or wet weather aud a shortage
in sugar bags. but with more favor
able weather should run to 1880 tons.
The net profit for the year was $37S,-
92937.
Mr.. Penhallow in part says as fol-
lows:
THE plantation is in first class con-
dition. We are now getting the bene-
fit Of the substantial repairs which
have been made during the past six
years. Our general repairs account
was about $4,000 less than the pre-
vious year, and our outlay under this
head should be even less for the 1915
crop. The improvement made in the
intake of the Waihee ditch syphon
has given US much better supply
of water at Waikapu through this,
ditch during the past year. We COM,
pleted an extension on the upper ditch
from lao valley to Waikapu, which
gives us the benefit of freshet water
on our upper fields supplied by this
ditch. We also built branch raft
road line to the mill reservoir, where
we established fiuming station, cut
ting out the high cane f1ume across
Lao valley to the mill. which flume
and trestIe it would have otherwise
been necessary to rebuild. We arc
now able to supply the mill from the
water used at this fluming station.
The mill water can also be pumped
back for irrigation purposes when nee
essary. This arrangement allows
more water for the upper fields on
the north side of lao valley during
the grinding season Taking this with
the changes made during the past two
years now gives US much more eff
cient system of handling the water,
and we are in a better position to
meet dry year than In the past The
lower branch railread line at Waikapu
was extended 1900 feet,j which prac-
tically completes the railroad work
which had been laid out This will
materially facilitate the harvesting of
that section. Further changes were
made in the fumings stations, which
has cut down the labor there and al
