Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1916-09-30

In three separate articles published
herewith the StarsBulletin gives the
latest information on the new war
weapon which is likely to take rank
with the 42-centimeter gun, the Fox
ker aeroplane and the British submar-
inc destroyers. all tremendous military
developments and achievements.
Hall Gaines Lurid Version
Hall Game, the English novelist, Is
first to the fore with sensational
account of what the mysterious engine
may be. He has written for an Amer
lean newspaper syndicate in part as
follows:
LONDON, Sept. 16.-Will war itself,
which hitherto has resisted the efforts
of 20 100000 of men on all fronts to
bring it to an end, which has with
stood all the physical forces Of meal
culable masses of munitions as we'll
as the economic strain of unparalleled
national debts and the mighty pres
sure of the normal sense of the world,
be terminated at last by its own
horrors2
The despatch yesterday from Brit.
ish headquarters says:
Our troops have won from 1000 to
5000 yards at various places.
In the attack we employed for the first
time new type of heavy armored
car"
What does this mean? Does it mean
that this new type of heavy armored
car has produced the astonishing re-
suits described? If so, what is this
new and terrible weapon of war?
Mighty New War Engine
Rumored for Weeks
For weeks past / have been hear
ing whispers of new arm which soon
would be launched on the battlefields
and which would drive everything be-
to be revealed until the day 1t came
into action. Nobody was to know
where or how it was made or what 4
was. -. x -. :, -.
The men who manufactured were
bound by oath not to say anything
about 1t. To make assurance doubly
sure they were interned within vast
area, the boundaries Of which were
guarded by armed men every hundred
yards. Once within they never were
allowed out Notices posted at the en-
frances warned intending intruders
they would be shot on sight
Then heard that the new weapon
ALREADY had reached the scene Of OPP
erations in large numbers and that
vet greater numbers we're 70 follow.
If the enemy was to hear anything
about it at all, they must hear now.
In few days more it would be In ac-
ton. The result which might be ex.
pected would be stupendous.
Colossal Juggernaut viii Stop at
Nothing
It was impossible not be stirred by
the mystery that surrounded the new
arm and by the confident faith Of those
who knew of its irresistible power. 1t
was gigantic car, colossal jugger-
naut, moving arsenal of unimaginable
driving force Nothing could stand
before it. It would pass over trenches
like fat ground, climb out Of beds
of rivers and walk over houses as
over ant hills.
In the inferno of its interior the
men who worked 1t, nearly nude, would
be safe from almost any force known
to military science except that Of the
unconquerable monster they controll-
ed. Such was the story which spread
during the past weeks to those who
could be trusted to keep the secret UNI
til the day came to reveal It. Has the
secret been revealed in Sir Douglas
Haig's despatch of yesterday? II so,

BooT WORKERS AND r.. r.. MEN
Employees in Shoe Factories Work
Fewer Hours.

Washington. Jan. 21.-Boot and
shoe workers are "aristocrats of la
Dor" compared with railroad en-
ployees, so far as hours of work are
concerned, according to officials of
the r. of L. e. Whereas nearly 80
per cent of the engineers and fire
men of the western roads work 10
hours or more "A day, less than per
cent of the boot and shoe workers I'M
dergo similar strain.
A recent bulletin of the bureau of
labor statistics gives statistics relative
to the boot and shoe factories, while
fluctuations from the pay-rolls of TO-
600 engineers and firemen, made in
the course of arbitration proceedings.
tells the story for railroad men.
In not a single occupation out of the
81 principal occupations in the boot
and shoe industry did more than per
cent of the employees work over so
hours week in 1914. Considerably
over half of these employees worked
Sd hours or less a week.
The railroad payrolls, on the other
hand. show that So per cent of the
locomotive engineers and firemen
worked 10 hours or longer day, and
that 35 per cent worked IL hours or
longer During the fiscal year 1914
there were over 41,OOO instances of
railroad employees engaged in the
movement of trains who were on duty
for ! s continuous hours or longer, and
We're thus subject to unusual fatigue
and strain.
While railroad engineers and fire
men, in recent years, have been COM
PEELED to operate larger locomotives
and heavier trains without material
changes in hours or wages, the hours
of boot and shoe workers have been
reduced per cent since 1910, and
their wage rate increased IL per cent.

Accident Record of Railways in
1915 Best in Years.
"Safety First" Movement and
Slump in Traffic Causes.

That the accident record of railways
in the United States during the last
year was the best reported in some
time is shown by the annual accident
bulletin issued by the interstate com
merce commission for the fiscal year
1915. In an analysis of the commits
sion's report. the Railway Age Gazette
points out that the decided improve
ment in safety of railway operation
during the year is the result Oh the
safety first movement, of improve
ments in facilities of various kinds and
of the slump in railway traffic.
THE total number of persons Kill
ed" the Railway Age Gazette shows
was less than for any other year since
1902 and the number injured was less
than for any other year since 1911.
The total number of passengers killed,
222, out of approximately one bllnOn
carried was less than for any other
wear since 1898. when only 79S,000,0O
were carried: and the number injured
was less than for any other year since
1906. The total number of employees
killed was less than for any other year
since 1898. when there were only
about half as many employees as IN
1915. and the number injured was less
than for any other year since 1911
The total number of other persons
killed. most of whom were trespasserS,
was less than for any other year since
1910. but the number injured was
greater than for any other year except
1914 and 1913.
The number of train accidents in
1915 was 1l.542. as compared with
1906 in 1914, a decrease Of % per

WHY MEN
Chew TOBACCO
It's the Only Way That Real Tobacco
Hunger Can Be Entirely
Satisfied
"PENn's THICK" THE IDEAL CHEW

Since tobacco was first introduced
to civilization, nobody has ever dis.
covered so supremely satisfactory ,
way to get all the favor and enjoy
ment out OF il as chewing it. And
no other form OF chew can give you
the hearty, wholesome, juicy favor
that you get from delicious high
grade plug tobacco, like Penn's
Thick.
The secret of the greatest chew.
ing satisfaction lies in the selection
OF your chew. Among plug tobac-
COS the brand that gets the most en-
thusiastic endorsements is undoubt-
edly Penn's Thick. The reason for
this is not hard to find.
Penn's Thick is made exclusively
OF ripe, white Kentucky Burley-
the most richly-favored chewing to-
bacco that grows. Still more. only
the very choicest of all the Burley
leaf is used for Penn's Thick, and
you get its natural favor.
This choice leaf is selected with
the most painstaking care, is stem
med by hand, is thoroughly washed
free of all foreign matter and is
pressed into plugs so slowly that not
drop of juice or an atom Of the
natural favor escapes.
The result is sweet, mellow, lus.
oious, satisfying chew that eanno,
be obtained in any other tobacco
than Penn's Thick. Try a l0c cu'
to-day.
