HASTILY GROUND
When Fire Burns Over Ter
Acre Cane Field Quick
Action is Needed
Especial Star. Bulletin Correspondsncel

HILO, September 11-There was q
cane fire at Paauhau on Monday last
and before the blaze was subdued
about 10 acres of cane were burned.
This cane was intended for grinding
next season but, through extraordin-
airy efforts, it was harvested right
away and taken to the mill to be
ground.
The mill had finished grinding for
the season and was partly dismantled
when the cane fire broke out. Mana
ger Campsie, however, was equal to
the occasion, and he quickly had the
mill going again so that the burned
cane could be ground at once.
The fire was evidently the work OF
fire-bug because it was away in from
the road and there were no chances OF
any sparks flying from any habitation
or engine and setting fire to the field.
1t is believed that some discounted
and eyil-minded discharged laborer is
responsible for the fire.

She Didn't Love Kunichi; They
Are First Cousins; So Back
She Goes to Japan

For half a dozen reasons U. S. inn

cided last week not 10 allow pretty
little prospective picture bride admis
sion to the territory. She Is at the
station today and viii be
sent back TO Japan on the Nippon
Maru September is.
Here are the principal reasons why
the officials decided II would not be
hest Tor the dainty Japanese maiden
to marry Kunichi Takemaru, who lives
at Aiea. Oahu:
First, he is deaf and dumb and can
not converse well even in the sign
language.
Second, he and the girl are first
cousins. His father and the girls
father are brothers.
Third, the girl is healthy, intelligent
and normal. while the man is alleged
not to be.
Fourth, she does not love him. and
had not seen him since they were lit
tie children. She did not know and
was not told the man was deaf
mute.
Fifth, the prospective bridegroom
was not particularly eager to jump
into matrimony He admitted 1t. after
taking quarter OF an hour to under.
stand and answer questions asked him
to this effect.
Sixth. Kinichi's father, who also
lives at Aiea, told the immigration
officials the only reason he wanted his
son to marry was so he 1.-THE fatherl
could have grandchildren and thus In
sure plenty Of descendants. The
father arranged the marriage by cor
respondence with his brother. The
girls feelings were not taken into con.
sideration.
In view Of all these things It was
decided best from engenic and econ
omic standpoints to call It of. be
cause there seemed no good reasons
why q marriage between the pair
should result happily OF bring desir
able little Japanese into the world

royal Interpreters, without pay. The
four arrived here last week from the
west coast of Chilli, South America.
The German companions say in
good English that Won Besser is I'M
doubleday possessor of a German title.
On board ship they say he is jolly
lad and boasts little of his descent
from the noble strain OF Won linden
burgs but stoutly adheres to this when
questioned concerning his ancestry.
Won Besser tells in broken English
which he has picked up, but mostly In
the German tongue, q story Of wander
ings over the briny deep since 1914
which would fill a book and make
good reading.
With fellow Germans he left his
home just three months before the
war and has been trying to get back
ever since but has been unsuccessful.
He says he wants to go back to take
his place in the struggle in which his
relatives have fought so valiantly.

IN WAR arena
RuMANIA FORTRESS
FALLS TO TEUTON ARMIES

4
PARIS, France, Sept 11.-Swinging
back and forth the pendulum of war
recorded both success and defeat for
the cause of 1.-THE entente Allies yes
tefdays 81
The success was minor while the
defeat was of more importance, for a
Rnmanian fortress in. the province OF
Silltsria on the Danube, about so
miles southeast of Bucharest, fell into
the hands of the German Bulgarian
armies operating along the Rumanian
frontier.
The report of this .Teutonic victory
comes from Berlin, where the German
general staff made 1t public last night
In an official statement
In Greek Macedonia the Bulgarians
were forced to evacuate a long line
of trenches to the east of Vetrenik,
leaving behind them large quantities
of munitions of war, together with a
number of cannon, which they were
unable to remove.
Turning to the western front the
reports conflict. Berlin tells of a
great British offensive, that extended
for more than 10 miles from Thiepval
to the outskirts of Combles, and
which was carried on with a fierce
vigor, but without success.
Neither the French nor the British
communiques pay much attention to
this fighting, and the French official
statement last night says that save
for some German attempts to attack
in the neighborhood of Berry en- San
terres the Somme front has been, com
paratiyely speaking, quiet.
Berlin also claims that the French
attacked south of Barleux and in the
vicinity of Belloy en- Santerre, but
with little or no success. The Ger
man general saff adds that I'VE took
number of prisoners, together with
six machine guns northwest Of Chaul-
mes.
OF this sector the French official
report says that the Germans at
tempted to attack southwest of Ber-
ney en- Santerre, but that the attack
was repulsed with heavy loss to the
Teutons.
On the Verdun battlefield the fight
ing was again heavy yesterday. The
Berlin dispatches tell of a French as
sault between Thiaumont fort and
Fleury. Here the Germans admit
that the French penetrated into the
first line trenches, but assert that
they were afterward driven out again.
The aerial fighting during the week
was severe. The French and British
are said to have lost nine machines
