arrived in Honolulu yesterday morning,
after an absence OF nearly a year, in
the China Mail liner China, during
which time he carried on a successful
search for parasites in order to exter,
inmate the melon.hy.
The search for melOn.fly parasites
which Mr.. Fullaway made through the
Philippines, Singapore, Java and India
resulted in his bringing with him in
appropriate containers seventy live
specimens of n species of OPUS, n small
wasp which he thinks will carry on a
successful warfare of extermination
with the melonAy. Together with the
opius he brought with him good deal
Of geological material and parasite
which he believes will be of value in
discriminating the leaf.hOpper now in.

several specimen of this parasite with
him.
"As far as ! observed during my
month and a half stay in India, there
is nothing TO indicate that there is Il
spirit of revolution among the masses

when asked about the war conditions in
that empire. Everything appeared

scrutiny as TO the character of all

MAGAZINES
EXPLOIT HAWAII TREES
Professor MacCaughey Contri-
buteS Articles On Forestry

Several articles concerning the ma
tive trees and forests Of Hawaii have
appeared in recent issues of prominent
mainland magazines These articles,
by Vaughan MacCaughey of the COT.
lcge of Hawaii, have discussed the eco.
homie woods of Hawai-, and the teach
ing Of dendrOlogy at the College Of
Hawaii. In an article in the Forestry
quarterly, professional journal pub,
Ished in Washington, he states:
"The natural background of the
college thus affords n delightful out.
Ioor laboratory for Neurological work.
There is doubtless no other region in
all the world-insular or otherwise
similarly blessed with all the conven
fences Of modern civilized society,
where so many diverse types of tropi,
cal environment are so easily avail
able within small compass.
"The absence of winter, the total
absence of frost and snow, the great
rarity of storms, and the balmy quality
of the showers. make it possible to con
duet field studies on any day of the
year. There is no dormant or leafless
season; plant life flOurishes throughout
the year, and field observations and
collecting suffer no change because of
abrupt seasonal changes"

methods in vogue prior to their con
struction, and enabled the planters to
dispose Of their old mills and send their
cane direct to the centrals.
1.-THE Calamba central is now offered
more cane than il can handle with its
present plant, and there will be more
next season. The war has done much
to make the centrals success. With
freight rates what they are, and go
ing higher, il has been shown that II

Believe 20 Zeppelins
Are Being Prepared for
Great Drive on London

LONDON, Feb. IA squadron OF
twenty zeppelins. some OF them
equipped with the new silent motors.
has been maneuverinR over Belgium
for several days. preparing for a great
"air drive on London. according to
Amsterdam dispatches today.
The raid upon the eastern. northern.
and midland counties OF England made
Monday night was only preliminary to
n great attack from the sky. 1t is be-
lieved here. Six or seven dirigihlcs. the
largest fleet that ever participated in an
air bombardmcnt. visited the English
counties. The press bureau thus far
has given out no detailed statement OF
the casualties. reporting merely that a
number of bombs were dropped.
\ dozen sGcrman aviators have been
observed In the mancuvers with tho
Zeppelin squadron over Belgium. Am
plane was not made out by travellers ar
riving In Holland. They reported that
all Belgian civilians wcrc being ex-
Cluded from the country near where the
mancuvcrs arc going on. London ex-
perts believe the aeroplanes were
Fokkers, assigned to accompany the
Zeppelin raiders and give battle to Eng
lish aeroplanes which may climb into
the heavens to attack tho dirigiblcs.
The Monday night Zeppelin raid was
not entirely unexpected. All the news
papers predicted another air invasion.

furniture and attacking Phillips two
year-old son.

NEW YORK. Feb. lon the basis OF
cable dispatch from its London cor

cable read:
London, Feb. 1.-Eleven deaths re-
ported England yesterday due lightning
restrictions. Five of tragedies occurred

The above dispatch refers undoubted-
ly to the Zeppelin raid on England.
said the Tribune. IT'S unusual word
ing Is the attempt OF the Tribune's cor
respondent to get the news past the
censor. Lightning is probably light
ing and means the order to keep out
lights saved many lives
IT Is evident from the statement pass
ed by the British censor. that Eastern.

were attacked. that the Ieppelins aimed

15. The following day. the British
steamer Tregantle picked up one of the
Appam's lifeboats. badly battered, off
the the Morocean coast. The Appsm,s own, a,

1t was assumed that she had been sunk
in the terrific gale that lasbed the Afrl-

The Appams passengers were all

M. Merriweather. governor of the Brit

The Appam was one Of .he newest

Adriatic and in the Mediterranean, how
ever, submarines have captured small
er merchantmen. Only recently the GER
man admiralty announced the capture
Of British vessel off the AFRICAN coast
and reported that nearly 100 OF the YES
sells crew were turned over TO Senussi
rebels in northern Egypt by the sub
marines crew.
Probably, the capture was made while
the liner was passing off the entrance
to the Strait Of Gibraltar. No subma :
rines have been reported operating Off
the Moroccan coast and the Appam Is
believed to have been north Of TIE
Canary Islands when her last wireless
report was sent out.
Any of Germany's large sea-going
submarines of the U-5l type. whit II
negotiated a cruise of several thous.
and miles to Constantinople, might
easily have made the voyage southwark
to lay in wait for the Appam. German
submarines are known TO have been
