SHORTAGE IN RICE
BR!NGsH|GHPRlC
Increase Of 20 Cents In Week
Reported; Petsia.Maru, Due
Today, Has $500 Bags

Private advices to Japanese mer,
chants of Honoldlu say that the T. X.
K. steamer Persia Maru, due from 70
kOhama today, will have $500 bags of
rice.
Orientals will be glad to hear that,
however little it may be, for there
has been shortage Of rice here, re
.Iieved only in part by 1918 bags that
came in the T. X. X. steamer Dairen
Maru Tuesday; in fact, the 1913 were
snapped up almost Immediately, and
the hungry ones cried for more.
San Francisco Also Short
This situation is similar to that re,
ported from San Francisco. Congestion
of freight has existed in the Orient
since the withdrawal of Pacific Mail
ships-long before that, indeed-reliev
ed lately to some degree by the O. s. X.
steamers and by the shipping of San
Francisco freight to Seattle and ny
rail south. For Honolulu there is no
such relief by rail.
The T. X. X. steamer Tenvo Maru,
due here Monday, is expected to have
$500 bags, which will be enough for
the remainder of the month.
Rice is about the only shortage here,
whereas California reports a shortage
in several lines of foodstuffs. There is
plenty of shOyu, Japanese say.
japanese Crop Is Small
In addition to the scarcity of rice
hero, prices are high. Honolulu fields
cannot supply the demand. The Jap.
anese crop has been smaller than ex-
kaI Al
of the harvest, when a big crop was
looked for, and the high prices have
led farmers to hold their crops as Am.
orleans hold their wheat at times.
Interviews with japanese by the Nip.
,pu Jill show that there has been an
Increase in price of twenty cents bag
in a week, fifty cents in month, and
that another increase of twenty cents
is anticipated by the time the Tenyo
Maru arrives. .aE

SEATTLE, July l3.-COl. Alden ].
BIethen, veteran editor and publisher
of the Seattle Times, died at his home
here yesterday.
Alden Joseph Blethen was one Of the
best known editors and publishers in
the West. He began his editorial
career with the Kansas City Journal,
later purchasing a half interest in the
Minneapolis Tribune, of which he was
editor and manager from 1884 to 1888.
He sold out, later repurchasing, in time
to lose heavily when the Tribune build,
ing was destroyed by FIRE In 1889, the
net loss being 100000. Putting an.
other hundred thousand in plant and
building, Mr.. Blethen weathered the
financial storms until 1895, when the
panic of that year wiped him out.
He began life again in Seattle in
1896, as editor and publisher Of the
Times, making his paper a financial
success. He was sixty years old.

WEST ORANGE, N. j, July l3.-
Thomas A. Edison, the dean of American
inventors, has accepted the invitation of
Secretary Daniels of the Navy Depart
ment to assume the presidency of an
advisory board of civilian inventors, to
be known as the bureau of invention of
the navy department.
In particular, it is planned that the
board shall devote its genius to the
problems of submarine warfare, with a
view to discover new methods and de,
vices of defense, which shall assure the
safety of the United States by their
effectiveness.
Officers who have shown inventive
talent and n disposition for original re,
search work, will be assigned to CO
operate with the bureau, in order that
it may have the advantage of their
knowledge of military problems. At the
same time, the bureau will be given free
rein under Mr.. Edison, to work out its
own experiments in it's own way, once
it has determined on the problems it
will seek to solve.

LONDON, July l3.-The crew of the
American bark Normandy, which has
arrived here safely from Gulfport,
Texas, Mississippi, report that while
traversing the war zone the neutrality
of the United States was forcibly viO-
lated by a German submarine.
The submarine, they say, covered
them with its pivot gun and compelled
them to heave to, while it lay in the
lee of the bark, waiting for the ap,
proach Of the Russian steamship Leo,
which had been sighted in the near dis
tance.
When the Leo came within torpedo
range, the submarine dashed from the
shelter of the American bark, which II
had used as a shield, and sent home
torpedo into the Russian. The Leo
sank with a loss of eleven drowned.

ULTIMATUM EXPECTED
TO BE GIVEN KAISER
Argument will Cease and For It
Will Be Substituted Reiteration
Of What United States Ex-
poets Of Teuton Government
CAssociAtsd Press by Federal wireisss.)


VTyAsHINGToN, July l3.-with-
w out qualification, it is uni.
versally admitted now that the
relations between Germany and the
United States are more critically
strained than at any time IN the his.
tory Of the two nations.
In the sense that news is n caronicie
of events, there are no developments
to record. In the sense that It also
must take account of the intangible
forces which shape events, the past
twenty-four hours have been full or
significance.
Drafts To Be Compared
President Wilson at the summer cap.
itol and Secretary Lansing IN the state
department are both working on a re.
ply to the latest German note. They
are in touch as to general policies, but
it is the President desire that they
should work independently as to de-
tailsy in order that there may be
brought to bear on the general situa,
tion the widest possible angle of Wis.
ion. When tho two drafts have heen
completed, they will be COMPARED and
the Best elemefts Nj eaetf Incorporated
in q state paper which will be sub.
mitted to a meeting Of the full cab.
met for final revision and approval.
No Further Argument
From this bi-lateral situation It re,
suits that, although no details of the
form the final document will take arc
obtainable, the general trend Of the
Administration 5 policy is more clearly
discernible, observed from two points
Of vantage, than If It were concen.
trated here in the White House. I'm,
mistakably this trend Is toward a moro
lacOnic, summary treatment of the
counter proposals pushed forward by
Germany as pawns IN the diplomatic
game.
1t may be stated definitely now that
there will be no further argument with
Germany over principles. Germany
has not seen fit to assent in the slight,
est to the legal and humanitarian basis
of the American position.
Position Is Made Plain
That position has been made as
plain as the Administration knows how
to make it, and there remains nothing
else to talk of but facts.
The forthcoming American note, il
is expected, will be the most positive
and specific that yet has been des-
patched to Germany 1t will not
bmster, but it will reiterate for the
last time what rights the government
of the United States is determined to
defend.
