RETARDED
BY LUMBER RATES
They Are So High That Wind
TANNERS Return Light; As To
Australian Coal

AS usual with lumber windjammcr,
returning to the North Coast from
Australia, the British schooner David
Evans, in the ofiing Monday evening
for provisions, is in light. II has seem ed
strange that no Newcastle coal should
be carried 20 the States by these , es
sells, but the situation is complex one
and Capt @. j. Spicer told of how he
regarded IL. 2.'.-
That Newcastle Embargo
He was asked concerning the Aus,
tralian embargo or neaT-embargo on
expectation of coal from Newcastle
He said that it appeared that there
seemed to be an embargo when he was
in Australia, inasmucn as no coal was
being taken, but he added that, even
were exports permitted freely, he
doubted that lumber vessels would load
with coal forth States, preferring in
deed 20 return light. Lumber rates are
so great that coal would have to offer
much freight to tempt sail. Captain
Spicer said the rate would have to be
at least twenty five or thirty shillings,
whereas il used to be about twelve and
six a ton, but IL has been eighty.four
days since he was in touch with freight
rates, during which time Australian
rates have increased twenty shiIIirgs,
and il is probable that much more than
thirty shiilings would be asked, espe-
cially since vessels would have to
change from one port to another for
coal loading. ''...
Thus high lumber rates are having a
direct and marked effect on the move
ment of other freight. Attention has
been called in The Advertiser to this
situation as regards shipment Of can
ned pines TO the Coast from Honolulu
the statement being made that at least
steamer rates would have to be offered
to tempt lumber schooners, and that
perhaps they would not take pines even
then. This has been borne out. 1t is
known that some of the schoOners
bringing lumber here are so pressed to
handle that business that pines are not
attracting them, for their owners
might face the possibility of being
compelled to charter a vessel at ex-
Orbitant rates for their use should they
delay to load pines.
The Levers 4 Cooke schooner Alice
Cooke, which sailed for Seattle ycster-
day afternoon, received three dollars
and twenty-five cents a ton, steamer
rate, for transporting about a 600 cas-
es. The schooner Kitsap was offered
two dollars a ton. The Alice Cooke re-
fused to 60 to San Francisco for dis
charge in view Of the time that would
be lost.
Matson steamers are struggling man
fully with their loads, but even with
enormous eargoes being taken the sug-
ar season win extend into November.
Should Matson vessel meet with a
mishaD the effect on the Islands would
be almost cataelysmic.
The case of power vessels taking
pines is entirely different.
Lumber rates to the Islands are thir-
teen and fifteen dollars thousand feet.
They are l20 and 1870 shillings to Aus.
tralia and the end is not in sight.

Supervisor Arnold said he retained
his original opinion that 1.-THE parking

with him, arguing, however, that the

that in such event the company would
maintain the parking between its

committee is to be made before final

WILSON PUTS OUT
FEELER FOR PEACE
UNITED STATES WILLING TO DO
ANYTHING FEASIBLE IN
THE MATTER.

Washington.-President Wilson De
clared here before the League to En-
force Peace that the United States
was ready to join in any feasible as
sociation Of nations to preserve the
peace of the world against political
ambition and selfish hostility" and in
service of "a common order, com
mon justice and a common peace" He
expressed the hope that the terms of
peace which end the war would in
clude such az agreement.
Outlining suggestions for peace
which the president said he hoped
the United States would make if it had
opportunity to do so, he included pro-
vision for absolute freedom of the
seas, a contention which has been
the keynote OF all the diplomatic dis
cussions with Germany and Great
Britain; and virtual guarantees of ter
rtorial integrity and political indie
peIdence.
Officials interpreted the presidents
address as being preliminary "feeler''
for peace in Europe. He outlined the
conditions on which the United States
would move if it makes formal me-
diatory offer. with the idea, 1t was
understood, of learning how such sug'
gestions would be received abroad.
81 am sure" said the president,
that the people Of the United States
would wish their government to move
along these lines:
First, such settlement with re-
gard to their own immediate interests
as the belligerents may agree upon
We have nothing material Of any kind
to ask for ourselves and are quite
aware that we are in no sense or de-
gree parties to the present quarrel
Our interest is only In peace and It's
future guarantees.
"Second-An universal association
of the nations to maintain the invlo-
late security of the highway OF the
sease for the common and unhindered
use of all the nations of the world,
and to prevent any war begun either
contrary to treaty conventions or
without warning and full submls-
sion of the causes to the opinion of
the world-a virtual guarantee of ter
ritorial integrity and political inde-
pendence."
