brngge, December II, 40 soldiers were killed
and 100 wounded At the headquarters of the
Prince of Wurtemberg, General Garnereich and
two lieutenant generals were killed. On May
81, the alrmen killed II soldiers and wounded
80 at the German aerodrome at Gontrade
Official details have been given OF over 100
air attacks upon German camps, aerodromes,
railway communications etc, but they are only
a part Of what the attacking flying corps has
done; it often happens that the raider does not
come back to render account. How many
French airmen have been brought down it is
impossible TO state; the French give out no
figures of their losses. A number of accidents
are known, however, and among them some
that give vivid impression of the dangers run
by the bombarding section of the flying corps.
Captain D. was about to take the air for a
raid and, the machinegun man with him, was
preparing a shell at 1900 meters high when he
awkwardly let it fall upon the frame. The
ehock exploded the projectile and blew the
apparatus and men to pieces. FIJI.
A similar accident occurred to the English
aviator, Captain c.. While he was taking
aboard his supply of ammunition bomb fell
20 the ground exploded, destroyed the ma
shine, the pilot and II machinists who were
standing by.
NJ P, caught in the clouds on severely
cold day, came out at height of 1900 yards,
80 benumbed that he lost control of his machine
and fell to his death
Lieutenant N was accommodating with an
observer whose scarf became unwound in the
wind and caught in the propeller, precipitating

THE PAGEANT AND A PEOPLE.

To the tourist the Hawaiian pageant given
at each Carnival is one of the fete's events
that at the time is most attractive and that
stands out in memory as most significant OF
Hawaii.
The tourist soon learns upon coming to the
islands that the land of half-clad hula girls
and natives pounding poi in grass hut villages
does not exist. The sort of country he has
often pictured as Hawaii never did exist 1t
was developed in imagination by inaccurate
descriptions in old biographies, by the conven-
lent but misleading souvenir postal-eards and
by writer's who, having come to Hawaii, felt it
incumbent upon them to send back long screeds
telling of nude natives singing and dancing
under palm trees or upon coral shores. Much
of the detail might have been correct, much OF
it was incorrect, but the point is that the gen
eral effect was highly inaccurate
Yet there is in Hawaii a splendid body of
legendry romance poetry, fantasy and fable
There is also history teeming with color and
rich with spectacle and song. Much of it is
legendary and much of it is of proved authen-
ITCHY Most of this mass of history tradition
is wonderfully adaptable for the purpose of pa
geants. The present series of pageants dates
back only a few years, but already has done a
valuable work in reyiving the days of DID, in
renewing the fastfading memory of past glor-
les and achievements These pageants thus
serve double purpose that of annual Car
nival Week or Kamehameha Day features, and
that of definitely preserving the legends and
history Of a people.
The color and movement of the pageant as
given yesterday was of deep interest to Wis
itors here. 1t should have been and could have
been still further developed; the action 5un
folded in more detail; the plot more nearly fol
lowed out The Carnival managemen t with
some system Of pefuiahent iorgar ization scotad
carry from year to year ideas as well as equip
ment and make the Hawaiian Pageant perhaps
the chief feature of the entire week 1t issonel
of the features that Nice or New Orleans or
Pasadena or Portland cannot possibly repro
duce "a feature which, highly developed can
be made in FIVE years world-famous

Mutual Telephone Company
Has Comfortable Surplus
After Paying 10 Per Cent

That prospective building in He
nelulu gives encouraging 'ndicatis AS
of a large increase in the business OF
the Mutual Telephone Company during
the coming fiscal year. is a forecast
made in the report presented by Man
ager F. G. Hummel at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders of The corpora
tiOn today. ..:.-
Mr.. Hummel estimates that 1000
will be required to meet the demands
for service during the coming year
The report of j. A, Balch, treasurer
of the corporation and manager of the
wireless department, shows that the
gross earnings for 1915 were S291,-
1924. Operating expenses amount
ed to t45,962.02. and reconstruction to
$IS,601.7S. These, with other expense
items, leaves a surplus of S3946.4a for
the year, and brings the total surplus
on hand to $75,57E47.
Daring the year the company paid
S51. 557 in dividends, or 10 per cent
of the amount OF the capital stock.
Treasurer BaIch said today chat there
are no projects new in view looking
toward the reduction Of rates. Three
hundred new switches were purchased
and installed in 1915, and new ex-
change for the benefit Of ka,muai sub
scribers is being constructed at Ninth
and PaIolo avenues. Six hundred lines
of new equipment win be installed N
this office. ..a.s

Manager Hummel recommends that
as soon as possible the present main
office be extended half its present
width for distance of 25 feet toward
the property line in the rear The
estimated cost is $4,000
1t is pointed out that the relations
0 fthe company and the .. s. govern
ment are most cordial AMI that large

Everything points to a busy and
prosperous year for the Mutual TeIe-
phone Company, barring only the eff
fects of any catastrophe ever which
we have no control" says Manager
Hummel at the conclusion of his re-
part. 1T is always the aim of the
management to furnish the people o.
Oahu with telephone service that is
the equal of any in the-world. ana at

should be found difficult, the Pacific may be turned into a hostile area and the world may witness another great war. At any rate, the relations among these three powers in the Pacific are worthy of spe cial study, and we have no doubt that the new Russo-Japanese agreement will have a very important effect thereon. .'
 AS TO SEA POWER
 But Dr. Ukita thinks it is either im- possible or unnecessary for any of these three powers to monopolize the sea power in the Pacific. It will be sufficient for Jopan, in his opinion, to maintain such a navy as will be competent to protect her from foreign aggression and insure the peace of the far east.
 Other writers participating in the forum include Prof Shigeo Suyehiro of the Im- perial university of Kioto; Shintaro Ina gaki and Ejro Hirano. Professor Suye- hiro Is rather prominent from a trip he made to Mexico, when he interviewed President Madero and was heartily vel comed. The other contributors are little known.
 Writing in the Central Review, Dr. Suyehiro expresses gloomy forebodings for the future of the so-called American problems. He fears that after the war America, with her vast wealth, will prove a keen competitor for Japan in the mar lSets of China, which may lead to political friction.
 Also, he believes that the immigration question is vital problem for the Jap

ITO solve our Chinese questions completely" he concluded, 'we must solve the American question"
 To give an idea of the viewpoint of the sensational writers, there are the words of Mr. Inagaki, who says: "The chief motive of the new American mil'- tarism is first to defend the United States against a possible attack from Germany and Japan, and second, to contend for supremacy in the orient. In short, Amer ica has an uneasy conscience over the stopping of Japanese immigrants and is ccnjuring up fearful hobgoblins of all sorts from her own troubled conscience. Witness the ridiculous Magdalena bay incidentr
 And he concluded: 'Let Americas am- bilious policy on the Pacific be a warn- ing to us peoples of an oriental state. We. az we'll as the Chinese, should awake from our delusions, throw aside our petty quarrels and combine against the com mon enemy"

Royal Christmas Cards
 Show Military Subjects

London, December 2.-Each year there are published in London and the public is permitted to buy, series of royal Christmas cards. These are issued usually by the firm of Raphael Tuck, for the King, the Queen. the Prince of Wales and Queen Alexandria. It is the custom for the sovereigns to select his- toric or other appropriate paintings and from these the Christmas calds are made.
 This year the Kings card is Silent Night from painting by Bernard F. Gribble. It shows patrol boat, repre- senting the silent but watchful British Fleet lntercepting suspected ship. Queen Mary's card is from Howard Da- yie's painting of Queen Elizabeth Re- viewing Her Troops at Tilbury." When the Armada threatened England with in- vasion Queen Elizabeth reviewed the troops stationed at Tilbury under the Earl of Leicester. As she ride through the line the great Queen appealed to the martial spirit of her soldiers, ex- horting them to remember their duty. At the conclusion of her address she uttered the famous words:
 "I know that I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the
