JUDGE OPPOSES
! SUGGESTION OF
Big BOND ISSUE
might as Well Dump Money
Into Ocean," Ashford De-
clareS in Criticism

Circuit Judge Clarence w. Ashford
does not agree with Mayor John C.
Lane in the latter's suggestion for a
$3.50, 900 bond issue for improving and
maintaining Honolulu's highways. He
Is strenuously opposed to any such
project. according to a written state
ment which he has given to the Star
Bulletin.
The statement is as follows:
There are some brain-pans in
which. should a second idea clamor
for admission. 1t would find standing
room only I observe that certain of
the braineries Of the local government
aggregation have been invaded (and.
of course, fully occupied) by the al
legged idea that we should have bond
issue of-mark the sum-$750,000 as
a fund for the reconstruction of our
highways.
'1f anyone should move an amend
ment' to make il read $1,000 either
more or less, the attempt to assimi-
late the new idea involved would
throw some of our statesmen's intel
lects out of gear. But on the merits
Of the proposition we might as well
dump that much of our wealth into
the ocean, as to place ii at the dis
posal of the present aggregate of in.
competents for disbursement
'1'll have something more to say
upon this phase of impending muni-
cipal industry II there shall be any
considerable development Of the all
ment."

German Newspaper Describes Terrible
Onslaught of the Allied Forces
On France Front.

Berlin, July 3.-The correspondent
of the Lokal Anzeiger, telephoning on
Sunday from German headquarters in
France describes the opening of the
Anglo-French attack as follows:
For seven days and seven nights
guns of all calibres have increasingly
hammered the German positions,
camps and shelters behind constantly
renewed waves of poison gas.
The country between Ypres and
Roye was one vast hell during the
long period of preparations which was
double the length of that which pre-
ceded the battle in Champagne last
autumn.
1T came as a relief to the German
troops from an almost unbearab Bile
strain when the bombardment yester-
day ceased and strong columns ad-
vanced. These did not attack the
whole front but broad sections on eth
er side Of the Somme and Ancre riv-
ers from the British northern sector to
La BOisselle. Along the second sec
tor from La Boisselle to the Somme
the first line trenches were SO demoI-
ished that they offered no support for
their hard pressed occupants and re-
tirement was decided upon and execut-
eed- The ruins OF Fricourt, Memetz
and Curlu, which lay in line with the
front trenches. had TO be abandoned

OF both nations to make strenuous eff
forts to prevent war, has been issued.
The labor men propose that the gov

Of our nations, TO consider differences
that have brought our nations to the
verge of war and to make such recon-
mendations for adjustment as shall

tors from spotting the guns placed in
the cellars
When the French attack began July
l the Germans were so hard pressed
that they were obliged to fall back up
on Frise. The regiments holding that
position were so badly punished by the
bombardment that the reserves were
ordered there. They Immediately as
sembled and in companies marched
through Peronne. One after another
they reached Biaches, Flaucourt and
then Herbecourt Then progress was
difficult
When they entered the comnunica-
ton trenches leading to F'rise they
came under a terrible shell fire which
caused heavy losses
Finally the reinforcements which al
ready had suffered severely. reached
the trenches and were posted between
the second and third positions behind
Frise where they were subjected to
terrific bombardment.
Three hours later the French in
fantry made a fresh attack upon Frise.
In less than two hours the French oc-
cupied Frise and the whole German
line began to fall back closely pressed
by the victorious French.

FOOD BLOCKADE
simultaneously With Great Drive an

Berlin. July with the military

climax. all signs indicate that stimuli
taneously the allies great general
economic offensive against the central
powers has begun Specifically, food
fight to a finish has started through a
sharpened British blockade, reenforc-
ed by economic political pressure
against nearby neutrals.
The Tageblatt says:
1T means a sharpened war against
the civil population after the pros
poets of victory over our soldiers has
disappeared 1t is possible that we
shall in many ways feel the effects of
a sharpened blockade, though how far
the laws of the sea is subject to
Britain's tender mercies, to which all
the signatures of the London deClara-
ton are invited to bow down. will work
out in practice is another matter.
England may. attempt to declare
everything COntraband that floats on
the high seas toward Germany's
neighboring shores. 1t may undertake
to make a rationization Of the pOpula-
ton of Holland, Sweden and other
countries still sharper. to introduce
blockade of neutrals as the latest dis
covery of British civilization, into in
ternational law, and to make OF HOl-
land a second Greece. We can quietly
wait and see what economic and po-
litical consequence such a policy will
have now and in future. 1t may bring
US moral advantages that may out
weigh the harm that still can result
to us.
Trustworthy confidential reports in
dictate that Britain is negotiating with
nearby neutral states to secure ces-
satiOn of all exports TO Germany. Eng
land is reported to be offering COM
pensation by agreeing to buy the neu-
trail surplus harvests and other ex-
ports.
An Amsterdam report says Tepris-
ais are threatened neutrals who re
fuse these conditions. There is a per
sistent report, too. that Italy is being
urged by the allies to abrogate her
commercial treaties with Germany.

MEXICAN PLOTS
ALL over NATION
ARE UNCOVERED

Brownsville, Tex, July A gen.
eral plot of Mexican agents in the
United States to cause the destruction
of American property and probably
loss Of life in all parts of the union
has been discovered here by secret
agents of the department of justice.
The plot is said to have had its in
ception in Brownsville, a local Mexi-
can lawyer who recently moved across
the river at the request of the COM
mittee of citizens being alleged to have
been the chief conspirator.
Ramifications of the plot extended
to the plains of Kansas and Iowa,
where are employed thousands of Mex
leans as section and harvest hands,
shipped up north by employment
agencies on the border.
Among other things, troop trains
were to be blown up wherever feasible
and arrangements for the wrecking Of
16 regular mail trains on the Interna-
tional & Great Northern, Southern Pa
cific, Frisco, Missouri Pacific, Kansas
City, Mexico & Southern, Chicago, Bur-
Gngton & Quincy, and the Kansas
branch of the Union Pacific railroads
had been completed.
twenty-five hundred Mexicans in the
middle west and north Texas are now
under surveillance, and the moment
one of them makes a doubtful move he
will be arrested and Immediately de-
ported.
1t is even stated that the plot ex-
tended 10 New York City, against pub
lie officials.
