In view of that speech. II was said,
the allies could not now refuse with
any good grace to listen to a formal
offer such as that which is now on
its way to President Wilson to be

Russia, Belgium. Serbia. Rumania and
Japan. For these are the countries

Another indication of the timeliness
of the proposal pointed out tonight
was the fact that there is now no
fighting of importance on any front
except in Rumania. A discussion Of
peace could go on without interior

these operations are now at a mini

BY that time an agreement between
the belligerents might be reached

Flume Breaks at $50 in Morn
ing, and Muddy Torrent

Roaring. surging waters awOke the
residents OF the Makiki tract early
this morning aud called them in eX.

into the streets.
The Makiki flume broke about 80
O o'clock, and all the drainage from
the mountains above flooded down
past the fire station and under the
bungalow homes in the newly opened
tract Telephone calls from the fire
station awakened those who were not
already up and about, and soon the
whole neighborhood was dressed and
waiting for the flood TO either come
swirling in the windows or run OF.
II. f. Wescott, the city purchasing
agent, has his home in the direct path
OF the diverted waters and was one
of the first TO be aroused by the boom
of the oncoming water. "The tiremen
offered to come over and help erect
a barricade in front OF the house TO
divert the waters, but | figured that
would only get someone else in trou.
BILE, so | just thanked them and made
ready to leave in hurry" he said
this morning. s--.
Valuable ferns, palms and other
plants were carried from Wescott's
yard by the food and a number Of
trunks stored under the house had
their contents ruined by the dirty
water. Wescott says that the city will
have to pay him for the damage done
by the food and threatens to bring
suit if it refuses. III ....-
Il went under the house with a
fiash1ight to look after my trunks,
which contain a number of valuable
keepsakes that no money can pay
for, and found water squirting up
against the bottom Of the house" he
SAYS. Il thought at first that a water
main was broken, but found that the
flood had undermined the stone foun-
dation OF the house and was running
under it, 1t was only Saturday that
repairs made necessary by the last
food were completed. and today my
house is standing on four corners
again as a result of the city's neg
iect to strengthen the fume.
