a valuable to the nation chiefly as
coaling stations. but that are OF
interest for other reasons. Among
these islands the most extensive are
the Solomon group. of which q writer
for the National Geographic society
says: y'p -,
When q man has learned to live
without ambition and to turn his back
on hope without regret. then the
islands of the South Pacific are ready
to, receive him as their own. Yet to
them turned Germany when its appe-
tite for empire led 1t forth upon Its
tedious quest for unclaimed places on
the earth.
1t therefore happened that at the
outbreak Of the present war Germany
had sovereignty over those two insig-
nifcant dots OF land upon the endless
expanse of the South Pacific. known as
Buka and Bougainyille. of the Solomon
group. These Islands were small. but,
nevertheless. were' an asset to q ma
ton interested in the far East.
The generation Of Germans that fol-
lowed the empire-builders Of 1871 soon
felt the need OF colonial expansion.
but. when they looked around 1t
seemed that every foot Of the earth's
worthwhile surface had been taken as
colony or . sphere of interest"
However, about 1884. the, German New
Guinea company was formed and Ger.

waters in the interior mountains. The
Germans built government station
here In 1907. and since then have made
considerable progress in the task of
civiiixing the natives, who were en-
ployed to do all OF the Improvement
work. Up to a few years ago the male
portion Of the native population
scorned all clothing. while the women

ders. The lei makers, men and wom-
en-. young and old, seated on mats on
shady sidewalk deftly string their
leis and as deity dispose OF their fra
grant wares. The enlisted men Of
army and navy take to the Hawaiian
lei as a duck to water; 1t adds not a
little to the gayety OF the passing
show that SO many manly heads are
crowned with carnation wreaths. SO
many tall lads in khaki are not
ashamed of the picturesque Hawaiian
custom. When transport Is In and
the visiting soldiers are seeing the
town. then the lei sellers reap rich
harvest. then the streets of Honolulu
are very much alive. business is as
brisk as the trade wind that blows
down from the mountains.
As to the effect on island life of the
presence OF the army. 1t goes without
saying that there are good and bad
consequences. In the interest Of
keeping things up" 1t is q pretty
good thing to have such lot Of peo-
pie about whose white clothes are
SO very white. whose shoes are SO
shiny, whose apparel and acquire
ments are SO we'll brushed and well
put on. 1t is good for beholder and
beheld. there Is moral value to 1t
as well as to the soldierly posture Of
chest up. chin in. Taken as a whole,
taking into consideration this huge
body Of familyless men. the soldiers
impress the Honolulu folk as remark
ably we'll behaved.
Rudeness to women on street cars
or street is seldom noticed; on the
other hand, the men in khaki display
old school courtesy In public that 1t
is heartening to find surviving And
courage as well as courtesy has come
to the fore In the army's residence
In Hawaii. Life-saving at the beach
again and again, is the record: quick
and heroic action in times of emer-
gency. And daring rescue work in
the mountains, Is to the credit OF the
soldier in those mountainous islands
out there at the crossroads OF the Pa.
cific.
Does the army like Hawaii? Yes,
and no. Would ever 5000 people be
unanimous in approval Of anything?

DIR. THOMAS BIDDLE
DIES OF PNEUMONIA
Noted Philadelphia Physician
and Naturalist Succumbs to
Illness.

DR.. Thomas Biddle, noted physician
and naturalist, died late last night at
his home, 122 South 22d street. Doctor
Blddle succumbed to an attack of pneu-
monia, which followed a cold contracted
on Sunday. His death came as a sur
prise to members of the medical profess
sion in this city, few Of whom knew
of his Illness.
Doctor Biddle, who lived with his sis
ter, Miss Emily w. Biddle, was the
brother-in-law of Richard NJ Cadwalader,
president of the Philadelphia Club. of
which the doctor was a member for more
than 30 years. He was also a member OF
the Rabbit and Racquet Clubs, the Sons
of the Revolution and Society of Colonial
Wars
Philadelphia best knew Doctor Biddle
through lis many gifts to the Geological
Gardens. "Kaiserin," the only elephant in
the 200" and several rare animals were
brought TO this city by the famous
naturalist. He was graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania in 1876 Dr.
Biddle was a member of the Philadelphia
Geological Society for more than so years.
during most OF which he served as
director.
Last summer Doctor BiddIe saw some
mounted specimens of the dicl-bill in
Australia, and Immediately purchased
them for the 200" in this city. 1t was
his custom to travel to some distant part
of the world every year and whenever
he saw anything of particular interest to
the Philadelphia collection, he would al.
ways purchase it,
He was 50 years old. No ARRANGEMENTS
have been made for the funeral

AMATEUR YEGGMEN
BUNGLE SAFE JOB
They Jam Safe Door, but Do
Not Forget to Rob Several
Watchmen = Masks and
Guns.

Three apprentice yeggmen made blum
der early today when they jammed the
combination of a safe in the Office of the
John, ]. Davies. & Co., STRUCTURAL iron
workers, at Goth and ClearieGdi streets.
Martin Feast, of 3146 Taylor street,
night watchman in the structural iron Of
fice, notified the police or the attempted
safe blowing. He also showed several
empty pockets, the yeggmen robbinG him
of his watch and chain and a small
amount of change, along with his re-
volver and keys when they found 1t i'm
possible to get into the safe.
Feast says he was suddenly confronted
by three men as he was making his
rounds through the plant Each had a
revolver and mask, and one carried an
electric fashlight.
The yeggmen took his keys, and while
one of them stood guard the others went
into the office, drilled a hole in the top
of tho safe and ran black powder into It,
They used SO much of the explosive and
placed 1t so ineXpertly that the safe COM
bination and door were iammed After
tinkering with IL a short time the ap-
prentiees gave up and disappeared. first

A week ago three men, believed to be
the same as those who failed today, got
