London, Nov 9.-The banquet of the
new lord mayor of London Sir William
henry Dunn, was given at the<Guild Hal.
tonight and was attended by cabinet min
listers, members of the diplomatic corps,
including Walter Hines Page, the Amer,-
can ambassador, and men prominent in
the military and naval world.
The leading speech of the evening was
delivered by Premier Asluith, who in al
Iuding to peace declared that nobody had
greater reason than Great Britain to. de-
sire peace. but that it was desired only
on condition that the sacrifices of war
should not have been made In vain.
Lauds Rumania's Stand
A feature of the speeches was the warm
tribute of admiration on the stand made
by Rumania and the expression of the
opinion that although the attack on Ru-
mania had not yet been defeated it had
been successfully stayed.
Mr.. Asquith began his speech with a
reference to Turkey, which country he
described as a subservent agent of Ger
man interests and ambition as was in
stanced. he said, by the fact that by
lifting finger Germany might have ar
rested the Armenian horrors. but instead
looked on unmoved, acquiescent and pos
sibly even complacent.
Sought to Save Greece
With regard to the Greek situation, Mr.
AsGuith said he wished he could speak
with as much confidence as hope. The
Entente Allies went to Saloniki as friends
of both Greece and Serbia, he said. Their
sole desire was to prevent Greece from
becoming enmeshed in the Germanic net
and to save her from internal strife.
Whatever apparently drastic meas
ures had been taken were dictated
solely by the necessity of preventing
Athens f,or becoming the center of
Germun propaganda and intrigue.
Dealing with the general situation
MI. Asquith said:
LET there be no illusion about our

fine fighters in the field. They are Also

College Of Hawaii Has
Revenge on Kan Squad
Brash Makes Place Kick in Closing Period Which Gave COL
egans Victory Over Kamehameha BY Score Of to 6-Boh
Teams Fight Hard to Score During Game-Brash, Bromley
and MaruChe Star for Winners = Kam Fails to Produce

The College of observation-disclosures
game on Saturday at Kan Field. was.
despite the unfayorable muddy field.
a fast, snappy one Kan started the
game off with much spirit and before
the college line had found itself Kan
had scored Matters looked to Kan
exactly as they were at the first TIa-
waii game two weeks before, but the
college line organized itself and held
Kan for the remainder OF the game.
Brash and Bromley proved the stars
of the game ard Hawaii certainly
profited by changing the positions of
Bromley and Mariuehi, for both men
distinguished themselves in a remark
able manner The most spectacular
feature OF the game was Mariuchi's
S0-yard run to a touchdown with a
clear field. Brash made several sen
sational runs around the Kan right
end and was mainly instrumental in
holding Kan from any touchdown
after the start OF the game. Hicks,
Brash and Ballentyne repeatedly ran
through Kam's line during the second
half, tor Kan seemed to have lost
heart at the colleges offensive.
Dover did not succeed in getting
more than three successful passes off.
Kam,s line could not penetrate the
colleges line after the second quar-
ter, when Farmer" Clark took Ais
place after he was hurt. The kicking
for the college was done by Bromley
and Brash 1t was Brash's placement
kick from Kam's 20-yard line in the
fourth quarter that decided the win
ner of the game.
Dover Scores
Bromley kicked off to Palama, VINO
made Is yards before he was stopped.
Dover plunged through the college
line for Is more yards. Hussy sue
cessfully handled bowers forward
pass and made % yards. Three more
rushes carried Dover over the line,
but Hussy failed to kick the goal.
Kan kicked off to Brash, who made
Is Yards around Kam's right end. Bal

forward passes failed and the ball

yards, but was finally held. Dover
punted and Brash thought the ball
would roll over the line, but Simeona
fell on it on Hawaii's 29-yard line.
During the following scrimmage the
ball was fumbled, but Mariuchi re-
covered it and made a run of 80 yards

TOWN TEAM HAS WIN
TO BEGIN PLAY FOR YEAR

The preliminary for the Hawaii
kamehameha game was between the
Town Team and the Coast Defense
The Towners had a decided advan-
tage over their opponents. Coney,
Machado and Bush did the best play
ing in the game, and found holes in
the Coast Defense line at will AT the
very start of the play Coney made two
25-yard runs, and shortly afterwards
carried the ball over the line Macha-
do made the other touchdown and dis
t.nguished himself otherwise by his
kicking. Aehiu received an injury in
the first quarter of the game and was
replaced by Bush. Bush appeared in
every scrimmage, and despite his
small size and weight got through the
Coast Defense line many times.
The Coast Defense kicked off to
Coney, who made % yards before he
was stepped. Another 25-yard gain by
him carried the Towners close to the
Coast Defense line, and few plunges
carried Coney ever Machado kicked
the goal. Score. 20, favor Town Team.
The second period was holly con
tested en- both sides and was called
without any scoring. During the third
quarter Macha,lo received a forward
pass and after a few plunges crossed
the line for the second touchdown Of
the game He failed to kick the goal.
Period ended without any advantage
On eitcer side. 1870, favor Town
Team.
In the last period the Coast Defense
showed some initiative for a few min
