 s Cane Growers Cash

Honolulu, T. H. Dec. 29.-A, new process for the manufacture of sugar from final mo1asses" which was an- nounced at the annual meeting of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association this month may, it Is estimated, re- suit in a saving of not less than s2.- 5O0,000 a year to the sugar men of the Hawaiian islands. and effect even greater saving in Cuba and ether cane-growiag countries
 The process was announced by J. N. s. Williams. of the Island of Maui who is the inventor. He has not patented his process and it's use is, therefore open to all sugar-growers. The planters, ascsciation went on record as >recognizing Mr Williams discovery as the biggest achievement of tho year in the sugar industry
 Tho process takes from the so- called final molasses'' approximate ly one-half of the eight per cent. of sugar that has hitherto been consid- cred a total loss. No process had been known by which this sugar could be crystalizsd and recovered.
 Tn Nr. Willie ms process the ''firs"'' rnolasses is boiled as usual but in- stead of ceasins to boil 1t at the usual the poin. of practical exclusion of all water. The resulting product. while still hot. Is run into oscontainers, where it is allowed to cool and soIidify for about aH week. becoming as hard as rock. This material which contains the crystalized sugar. is broken up.

French Peasants In
 Dire Distress, Says
 Worker Upon Return

Miss Annie M Coleman has just returned from Paris, where she was voluntary worker in the main dis tributing station established there by the Emergency Aid Committee and kindred American charities. In her work behind the trenches she drove a small touring car from the point where the railroad ends. She also visited the first line trenches.
 Conditions are terrible behind the trenches" she said ''The villagers never had much in the first place, and what little they did have has been swept away. We found them without clothing, without fuel, practically eking out a bare existence in their ruined homes.
 While in Paris we heard that there was great suffering in the Vll- lages between the trenches and the end of the railroad. The poor people living in these novels could not ger anything. Their animals were all killed, their conveyances all confls- ted, their crops ruined.
 After great deal of difficulty we managed to get two cars of supplies through to the end of the line. Then, through the assistance of the officers, we used two motor ambulances to transport our supplies to two of the towns. From there I relayed it in small quantities with the use of my machine.
 ''The gratitude and wonderment of the the peasants was amazing. In the first place, they could not under stand why we should take the trou- ble to go over there and help them.
 Then, again, they could not believe that we meant to give them these things without pay. They always ac- cepted with a mingled look of won derment and gratitude.
 "While enga ged in this work we decided that we wanted to visit the first line trenches. Things were rather quiet on that portion of the line The officer in charge at first demurred, but then finally gave in T have always heard that you Amer jeans always got anything you went after, and I might as well give in,' he said.l
 "Fortunately there was not much firing during our visit, but the sol diers' were much surprised to see us in the trenches. They crowded around us and were eager to show us every thing. They asked 5innumerable questions about America and all wanted us to send them postal cards when they heard that I was going back home" A
 Miss Coleman made plea that the funds for sending packages of useful articles to the soldiers in the trenches be continued. They look forward to them" she said. "and their gratitude at receiving the slight est article is great. We must also prepare to take care of the poor vil- lagers after the war, for their condi- tion will be as pitiable as it is now"

A iREMARKABLE ARMENIAN

From remote city in Asiatic Fur key, where he was born 57 years ago today, Mangasar Magurditch Manga sarian fared forth, lad of 12 to seek learning in the great city of Constan- tinople He was an Armenian, the representative of persecuted and despised tribe of Christian curs,'' and accustomed sinde infancy to the cynically brutal treatment which the Turkish Moslem visits upon the gia- ours within his power. The Armenian lad in due time reached his goal, which was Robert College, an Amer ican Institution of learning founded in the Turkish capital by Christopher R. Robert, a New York philanthropist. It was not an imposing institution in 1872, when young Mangasarian entered 1t, but it we'll served the purpose of the Armenian boy, whose eager mind was fairly thirsting for knowledge. He remained 8 student at Robert Col lege for four years, absorbing learn ing with amazing rapidity. At the age of IS he was ordained to the Con- gregational ministry, and was placed in charge of little congregation of Christians in Marsovan, Turkey. Dis satisfied with what he considered his still meagre store of knowledge, and e ger to see the great world beyond the Turkish dominions in which he had been born and reared, he resigned his pastorate in 1880 and set lout for America. He then continued his stud i,s in Princeton Theological Seminary. fro which he graduated in 1882. when he was appointed to fl the pulpit of the Spring Garden church in PhiJadel- phia, An eloquent, graceful speaker, with a strikingly Oriental appearance, he soon became a favorite, and he might have achieved a high place in the Christian ministry had not the spirit cf doubt entered his mind His specticism led him to resign from the Philadelphia Presbytery in 1885, and he then became an independent preacher in the Quaker City Tn 1892
 romoved to Chicago. becoming the lecturer of the Society for Ethical Gull ture. and in 1900 he founded the In- dependent Religious society and from that time was known as an avowed agnostic and sunbeliever. For some years he was the editor of ration allst reivew, and he also wrote many books and pamphlets deve'oping his theories. including Morality Without God" The Rationalism of Shake speare." MT. Mangasarian's daughter has become well known to theatre gcers as Miss Frora Zabelle.

Binghampton, N. Y.-Attempting a
nonstop flight from Chicago to New
York, Miss Ruth Law, guiding a
Curtiss biplane of the military scout
type, shattered all American long
distance aviation records for sin
gle flight Sunday, when she flew
from Chicago to Hornell, N. Y, dis
lance by railroad of about $50 miles,
lettering by about 100 miles the rec
ord made by Victor Carlstrom on No

Cross Wind Cuts Speed.
A delayed start and a cross wind
that cut down her speed and forced
her to descend to replenish the gaso-
line supply, were responsible for her
failure to reach New York city. Miss
Law said after her arrival at Bling
hamton at APO o'clock Sunday after
noon.
Previously Miss Law had never
made a single flight longer than 20
miles. Her machine, a small biplane
has a spread of wings less than hall
that of the Carlstrom machine. II
was not specially designed for the
occasion.
Miss Law covered a distance o.
about 1856 miles in six hours and 81
minutes, time being deducted for the
descent at Hornell. The first &C.
miles, the distance by rail between
| Chicago and Hornell, was made with
