Hawaii's charms imNinged so i'm
presSively upon the temperament OF
Charles Rollit COe. a University of
Washington student. who was here
last year for a number Of months. that
he has written a comic opera based
on island scenes, music and Charact
ers.
The comic opera, The Winning of
Hawaii was produced at the univer-
sity on April q by the Mask and
Quill and Ukuiele clubs OF the North
west institution. The university daily
gives long accounts OF the play, which
was a big success and appears to
have been pretty good Publicity for
the islands.
Coe spent six months or so here,
staying out of college to earn money
by selling books and an aluminium
household utensil set, in. both of which
lines OF endeayCr he was very success
full. He became much interested in
island music while here and before
leaving limited that his interest might

In a proluge to the opera, evidently
written by Mr.. Coe. the charms of the
islands are described with eloquent
appreciation. ..
The Washington daily gives further
details, as follows, in an advance no
tice of the opera:
THE plot of the operetta revolyes
about the attempts OF European ma
lions to obtain possession of the isles
and eliminates in America winning
the diplomatic battle because of the
judicious fondness of the princess for
the young American hero. One Of the
comic situations of the play comes
when the hula girls attempt to teach
dignified European ambassadors to
dance and play the ukulele. ...

Colds-whether in the head or any
part of the body--are quickly over
come by urging the liver to action
and keeping the bowels free Of poison.
Take Cascarets tonight and you will
wake up with a clear head and your
cold will be gone. CasCarets work
while you sleep; they cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested food and foul gases; take
the excess bile from the liver and
carry off the constipated waste mat
ter and poison from the bowels.
Remember the quickest way to get
rid of colds is one or two Cascarets
at night to cleanse the system. Get
a 10-cent box at any drug store. Don't
forget the children. They relish this

that is needed to drive cold from

Avenge Their Wrongs.

Ell Paso, April 15.-Economic condi-
lions in Mexico are more menacing TO
the hopes of a restoration Of order and
the avoidance of serious friction be-
tween that country and the United
States than any political conditions
according to an American who return
ed here today from a tour which en-
braced most of the territory north OF
Mexico City.
This man who is identified with
large American interests in Mexico
brought reports of the destruction by
nobs of the American plants and
warehouses in several places.
Revenge Only Recourse.
."These outbreaks" he said, 'in the
majority were more economic than
political The condition of the masses
of the people throughout north Mex
leo is terrible. Magnificent farm lands,
capable of raising almost any crop in
the world. have been lying untitled
for five years. The poems live or

They are actually willing to die If they
can in any measure revenge their
wrongs on whoever they think is re-
sponsibIe for them. Plain starvation
faces thousands of them. They have
never had much, a few frijoles and a
chicken being a feast, but today to
most of them a squire meal is a thing
to dream of.
Agitators Create Hatred.
1.-THE trouble is that they have been
sedulously taught by agitators to be-
lieve that all their woes are due to
the foreigners. They have never seen
a poor, ill-nourished American, and
the traditional envy of the poor for
the well to do has grown in their case
to a mania.

ignorant and superstitious and the

ACTIVE ON TWO FRONTS
Austrians Claim Advantage on Both
Russian and Italian Frontiers.

Berlin, April 15-The official Aus
TRAN statement of Friday is as fol-
lows:
Russian front-Russian artillery ac-
lively shelled our positions on the
lower Stripa along the Dniester and
northeast of Czernowitz. Near the
mouth of the lower Stripa and south
east of Bugzaz, there were like engage
ments for advanced positions, some of
which are still in progress. The occu-
pants of one trench, which formed a.
salient, were forced back to the main
positions.
Northeast of Jaslovice the enemy
entered an advanced position but was
elected Immediately by a counter at
tack. One Russian officer, three en-
signs and 100 men were captured.
AN Austro-Hungarian detachment
by a surprise attack occupied an adj
vanced Russian position on the road
between BugZaz and Czortkow.
"On the front held by Archduke
Joseph Ferdinand the enemy's artil-
1ery was active.
italian front-The artillery duels
continued, insofar as the weather per
mitted. The Austro- Hungarians cap
tured an Italian position at Mrzlivrh
and repulsed several counter attacks.
The Italians suffered heavy losses
"Our artillery vigorously sheIled the
Italian positions at F'litsch and Hon
zebra. Attempts by Italian troops in
the Sugana sector to occupy our posi-
lions on the heights on both sides of
Movaledo failed. On the PonaIe road
our troops evacuated a defensive po-
sition south of Sperone and occupied
the next position. An Italian attack
against Monte BOorluzzo south of
Stilfser, failed"

DRAFT ANOTHER NOTE
Next Step in U-Boat Crisis Under Way
at Washington Today.

Washington, April 15.@The United
States government today was ready for
its next step in the crisis with Ger
many over submarine warfare. This
was the preparation of a communica-
ton to be sent to Berlin designed TO
bring the situation to an issue. The
communication will go forward With
in the next few days.
The impression prevails here that 1t
will not be dispatched pending a care
full examination of all the evidence It
hand regarding recent submarine
cases, including affidavits in the case
of the English channel steamer Sus-
sex which arrived yesterday.
Indications are, however, that the
case OF the United States against Ger
many Is complete without the latest
affidavits and that Germany will be
informed the Washington government
considers she has not fulfilled prom
ises made to this country.
It is made clear that the forthcom-
ing communication, although intended
as the final word of the United States
will still leave the way open for Ger
many to avoid q severance Of the dip
p1omatic relations.

STOCK RAISERS LOSERS
Virginia Executive Lost in Cattle Due
to Packers Combine.

Washington, April 15.-Governor
Stuart of Virginia, who raises C4ttle
when not engaged with executive du-
ties, told a house subcommittee today
that stock raisers had lost money in
the last year largely because of the
lack of competition among beef pack
ers. He testified in favor of the Bor-
land resolution TO invests gate the
packing industry to determine if the
antitrust laws are being violated.
In the thirty years that I have been
raising cattle 1 never have had re
than one bid on a single bunch of
stock" said the governor. when
that condition obtains year after year
there is only one conclusion to reach
about what the packers are doing
The market between the producer of
raw material and the finished product
is being cut in two. If producers in
my country had surrendered FOUR
fifths of their cattle land they would
be better off"
