logged, caught on one of the piers Of

rent began piling broken timbers, mass
es of brush, great boulders and trunks
of trees, bodies Of cattle and horses,
and even bodies of human beings,
against the obstruction, forming dam,
that backed up the waters until large,
fercely boiling lake was formed.
This lake took in the very center Of
Waikiki, engulfng score Of stores
and little houses, some of which had
been but recently completed. One
place which had cost $4,000 was wreck

were so badly damaged that entire re-
modelling will be necessary before they
can be used. Is n na7.

G TORN WATERS
- MOUNT SWIFTLY

One of the features Of the great
Cloudbufst In the lao valley Just back
of the little city of Wailuku, Maui, last
Tuesday morning, was the Tapidity
with which the waters rose, making the
escape of those threatened by the
floods excessively difficult. The case
of Deputy Sheriff John Ferreira, whose
new home, costing $4,000, was wiped
out of existence by the rushing waters.
The sheriff was asleep, when the
sound of the. thunderops rain and wind
awaked him, The water was already
deep in his bedroom, and he leaped out
of bed, intent on rescuing his children.
Rousing his wife and one of the young
sters he carried them in his arms
through the binding rain, sheeting
down under the force of the koha wind,
to the high bank on the road some fifty
yards away -r ...-

Leaving them there he turned back
for his other two children. Although the

the current, increasing each moment in

. BIHUE, January 19-With but slight
abatement of the wind, the kona storm
continues on Kauai. Since Sunday, the
heavy wind has blown almost without
intermission and thunder and lightning
have been everywhere evident. Rains
of great violence have occurred at
frequent intervals in Waniha three and
one half inches falling during a single
hour. 81 y ...1 ~ ''r p. Ea'f,sa
The most serious damage that has at
present resulted is the tearing away
Of the roof of the grandstand in the
Lihue baseball park. The dimensi6ns
of the roof were in the .neighborhood
of two hundred feet by seventy Ave,
and the entire surface was torn on,
The remains are scattered over an area
of several acres, the main part Of the
wreck being Immediately to the front
and rear of the interior portions that
are still standing These consist only
of the floor and seats.
No other damage of a serious naturs
has been reported, but since the tele-
phone lines are down between Lihue
and the Hanalei side of the island, it
is difficult to determine the extent of
losses sustained. ~ "'.''
Numbers Of large trees have been
blown over, particularly in, the district
of Lihue, and some of the roads have
been rendered impossible in certain
sections because of the fallen timber.
/ The wooden fence surrounding the
grounds of the Kauai High and Gram
mar school was torn up for over a
hundred feet, and some of the Hama
manila school buildings are more or less
damaged, while most of the windows
on the southerly side of the Huleia
school are broken or cracked. "A stable
belonging to w. II. Rice at Hdleia
was. torn to pieces. Damage of sim
liar nature is reported from the Wal
mea side. t,~,-rF#.
During the past three weeks, the Gar
den Isle has suffered from northerly,
kewai and ,kona storms The fifteenth
was the one. fair day, very clear and
cold, the temperature about fve.o 'clcek
being fifty degrees. By about ten
O'Clock at night, however, small clouds
began to move from the southwest and
by Sunday morning, wind and rain
were in evidence, with higher tenn
perature. It Is practically impossible
to figure when the storm will die down,
but in all probabilityethe end is draw
ing near.

CTORM DAMAGES
- AT BARRACKS LARGE

The ffty-miles-an.hour wind that has
ragged at Cashier, for the past few days
has added to the toll of damage suf-
fered by the. cantonment, quarters end
barracks here. Many officers families
did not go to bed at all Monday and
Tuesday night because of the fear,
pretty generally felt, that the terrific
wind would blow off roofs or capsize
their home. During these nights the
Third Battalion of the First Infantry
entertained some two hundred of their
suPefstitious comrades of the other
two battalions of the regiment, which
are still in the old barracks. y
The men brought their blankets and
slept on the floor beside the beds of
better accommodation, This, however,
was greatly appreciated since the
guests felt that though their beds were
hard their roof was safe and secure
One man brought along, in addition to
his blanket, a little tobacco humidor
containing his pet goldfish. He .didn Z
want them rained on.
As a'fesult of the uneasiness exhibit,
ed by the men, the First Battalion,
Major Tayman, commanding, has been
authorized to move into the remaining
Completed set Of barracks to the south
of the set now occupied by the Third
Battalion. The move will take place
Saturday and the time intervening will
be used to build board walks over the
slough of mud now surrounding the
quarters.
General Strong, commanding officer
at Schofeld Barracks, upon hearing OF
the "visiting out" being done by the
men in the old barracks, threw open
the new barracks for the use of any
who desired to sleep in them until the
storm had spent its fury. Several hun.
dred men, after listening for a while
to the bowling of the wind, rolled up
their bedding and set out to take al
vantage Of the privilege.
Captain Fair is tuning over the dc,
lay 10 the construction work the storm
bus caused. The blowing down of his
large towers upholding the pouring
trOughs for the cement win add some
time TO the completion of this work,
The quartermaster is anxious to finish
the actual work on the administration
building in order to begin work on the
paving of the court, which is so badly
needed on account of the present mud
and lack of drainage.

can see on the map that the Germans
have been creeping closer to Verdun
until they reached within three miles
by taking Fleury.
THE allies theory apparently is
that the German has had central
reserve force. which he could shift To
hard pressed points at will, but | be-
lieve the allies have underestimated
Germanys strength. They are going
on the idea that by hammering at all
fronts they could prevent the German
from shifting about this supposed GEN.
trail reserve and thus pierce the Ger
man line at some point.
II don't believe this cfn be done.
The Englishman will find stalemate
and this probably will make the think
ing men of both sides realize that the
time is coming soon when settlement
Of the war must be made in the
foreign Offices rather than by continu-
ance of military efforts.
"You probably will find that the
greater part of this new offensive will
be over in ten days and that the
allies will have been checked as be-
fore.
six months from now you Will
doubtless discover that this predic-
ton as to the peace possibilities OF
the Somme drive have been substan-
tiated."
