BOTH Child And
FATHER KILLED
BY IGNORANCE

Two deaths in a Hawaiian family
last Sunday father and little three
year-old boy only few hours apart
came, SO health authorities state, as
the result of blind ignorance. Death
In both cases was caused by tubercu-
losis. the little child having taken the
disease from the fatheE.-------sss..-..i....--l
When a nurse from the Ralame Set
tlement visited the little Int In KaIia
district some time ago she found the
father in bad condition as a result
Of the disease from which he had SUI
fered for several months, and during
which time he had been entirely with
out medical aid.
Three children in the family show
ed symptoms of the disease and the
little three-year-old child was very i'll.
His case was diagnosed and proved
to be positive tuberculosis.
The father was removed to Leahi
Home, but was so far gone that his
case proved beyond aid. He died on
Sunday night. The little boy had died
a few hours before in the hut in Kalia.
Word of the fathers death reached
the family on Monday while the
child's funeral was being held, making
a double tragedy for the family.
All because they were too ignor-
ant to have themselves cared for, ;"
said health official today.

ISLAND PAPERS
PLEASE Better
Than MAINLAND

Newspapers In the Hawaiian Islands
are better for world news than those
In the United States. The papers here
print less, but in a more intelligent
and digestible manner.
G. Fred Bush Of the Honolulu Iron
Works said this about his three
months trip to the mainland He re-
turned Tuesday on the Matsonia.
Il went as far East as New York
City" said Mr. Bush. but was chief
ly on business of no startling char
acter for my company"
He informed his Questioner that the
papers Of Honolulu were good enough
for him and that he believed they
were better than those in the Middle
West.
When asked II iron was going up
in price and II heretofore neglected
iron sources were being worked, he
said:
THE war has changed iron prices
as much as Il has anything else, just
like they are sending old tubs to sea
now from New York and other At
lantic points that had been discarded
because OF the expense Of repair I'M
I'll the high freight rates made repair

GERMAN PEACE TALK
DISHONEST, SAYS GRAY

LONDON, Eng, May 25.-Sir Ed
ward Grey. the foreign secretary, in
response to an attack upon the gov
eminent by Arthur Pensonby. Lib
eral member from a Scottish constitu-
ency, said thatno peace suggestions
had been offered in good faith, the
talk of peace in Germany being for
its effect upon the German populace.
The German government knows, he
said, that such. terms as 1t dare offer
now would not be accepted nor, con-
sidered by the Allies. while such
terms as the Allies might consider the
German government. dare not offer
for fear OF the effect in Germany.
He reiterated that the time Is not
now ripe for any idea of peace and
that it is the duty, of the diplomats of
Great Britain to maintain the solidar-
ity OF the Allies until that stage OF the
war has been reached when the pros
poets .ofs rntantStnfna an spduFisg
peace be- witfs the Allies.
When that time comes and Prussian
miltarism is placed beyond the point
where it may be future menace to
the world, the Allies will talk Of peace
and no sooner.
