But Other "Friends of Peacen Drown

CHICAGO, September 5.-At the
opening session to-day of the national
convention OF the Friends of Peace,
several speakers launched vigorous at
tacks on what they called the Lingo

shipping munitions to belligerents. The
attacks were greeted by long and con-
tnued applause.
A ripple of applause greeted the read
ing of bulletin announcing that the
Allan liner Hesperian had been tor
pedoed. but Immediately a storm of
misses drowned out the applause. The
bulletin contained the erroneous state
ment that 500 lives had been lost Later
another bulletin. stating no lives had
beer lost. was read. and the delegates
broke into applause that lasted several
minutes.

TROOPS ON border
RESTING ON ARMS
American Forces Ordered to Be

Emergency.
INVASION MAY BE ATTEMPTED

INVASION MAY BE ATTEMPTED

WASHINGTON, September All
United States troops on the Mexican
border were under orders tonight to
be In readiness to meet any emergency.
war Department officials said cxtraor-
dlnary vigilance had been ordered as a
result of repeated raids in America n
territory by Mexican brigands and SOL
diers and renewed reports of prepara-
ton for an organized invasion from
across the Rio Grande in the States of
Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
As long as the raiders continue to ap-
pear only In small bands. IL is under
stood none OF them will! be followed
into their own territory, but officials
indicated tonight that the American
commanders would not hesitate to pur-
sue the enemy until they were com
pletely routed, should anything resem-
bling an organized invasion of the
United States be encountered.
Persistent reports that some OF the
Mexican raiders slain wore Carranza
uniforms have reached officials here.
Rumors have come. too, that there is a
concerted move by Carranza leaders in
Nuevo Leon and Coahuila to arouse
Mexican sentiment against the Pan
American movement for re-establish-
ment OF constitutional government in
the republic.
CARRANZA'S AGENT
DENIES ALL STORIES
Eliseo Arrendondo. Carranza's Wash
ington agent, issued statement to-
night. denying all such stories and
creditinG them ia enemies Of Carranza
The statement added:
M. Arredondo said that he invited
the press TO withhold any opinion on
tAeasttHatIon for a few days W3iaeash shs
feels confident, the American govern.
fnent Will have satisfied itself as to the
sources Of the present border dis
turbances He also said that 1t is un-
true that General Nafarette tCarranza's
commander at Matamoros) has 10000
men along the border; he has about
1000 and no more, he added. and inso-
far as General Tervino Commander at
Monterrey is concerned. he yesterday
defeated the Villistas at Icamole, near
Monterey. which proves that he is very
far from the frontier"
II is quite probable the Pan-Ameri-
can conferees will meet this week. They
now are awaiting Carranza's reply to
their appeal for Mexican peace con-
ference. Carranza's long delay In an
swering has given rise to some hope
that his reply may leave the way open
for further peace negotiations with his
faction.

AMPLE SURFACE WATER ON
OAHU.

Honolulu, hawaii, July "A, 1915.
Editor Honolulu STAR Bulletin. +
Sir: In your issue of yesterday,
July %, appeared an interview and an
editorial In which you quoted the
writer as stating that there was ample
surface water available In the imnne-
date vicinity OF Honolulu to supply
all its needs for the next fifty years.
I believe this part Of my interview
to be In error. What l intended to
state was that there was ample sur
face water available on Oahu mean
ing particularly the waters Of the up
per Punaluu valley on the windward
side of the island which are now large
~ going to waste and which are for
sale.
On March IL, 1915, recommended
to the governor that special inves-
tigation be made as to the feasibility
of bringing this water, amounting to
about ten million gallons per day. to
Honolulu via the Waiahole tunnel.
i am Of the opinion that the surface
and spring waters of Kalihi and Ma
noa, now used principally for taro
and rice irrigation, as well as the
small amount of water Of the Nuuann
valley now not being diverted into
the water. works system should also be
utilized, but doubt II these surface
waters in the Honolulu basin alone
are sufficient, in addition to the pres
emit supply. to supply the needs Of the
city until the Waiahole water become
available.
The agreement made between the
Territory Of Hawaii and the Waiahole
Water Company specifies that the
Territory may take the following
amounts Of water from the Waiahole
valley via the Waiaholes tunnel under
certain conditions Of payment,
for public purposes only, X. with
corresponding reduction OF rental,
etc.
1. After 80 years-four million gal
Ions per "a hours.
2. After 40 years-six million gal
Ions per "a hours.
8. After so years-all water.
The Punaluu project involves the
construction of q pipe line from the
south, or WaiaWa, portal of the Waia-
hole tunnel to Honolulu. The Puma
luu waters are held under lease which
will expire in - years. The pipe

HARD TO sTARvE THE TEUToNs.

Starving the Teutons out" is a process
much easier to talk about than to accomplish,
for the Germans and the Austrians have or
ganized their production and distribution until
waste is eliminated and moderation of con-
sumption enforced.
Associated Press advices from Vienna say
that although Austria has no fear of an insult
ficient harvest, and although conditions even
now are improving to such an extent that the
notably bad bread is being bettered, plans are
already being considered for confseating the
1915 harvest of wheat of various kinds to avoid
high prices superinduced by speculation.
1t is proposed to create, from the present war
-four control commission, a state organization,
into whose hands the entire confscated crop
would be delivered, and whose members would
divide the -four evenly and equally. The farm
ers are not at ell .aEerse to the confiscation of
the crop and the establishment Of uniform
price for their product, but they oppose the
central organization plan, and prefer that the
-four pass into the control of the district COM
missions. 1t is only the members of the pro-
duce associations and bourses who oppose the
confscation and uniform price ideas.
Even though maximum prices were estab-
lished by the government this year, they have
been disregarded by the spectators, vino have
paid so kronen for -four that was supposed to-
sell for 1880. How the speculation has worked
out is shown in the case.of lentils and beans
which had no maximum price and which today
cost 10 heller as against % to 40 heller after
the last harvest.
