SEATTLE, August l5-In his speech at the arena here tonight Mir Hughes assailed the administration for it's pre- paredness policy. declared that he had been informed and believed the navy was undermanned and lacked supplies and equipments and pledged himself. if elected, to see that both the army and navy had efficient leadership
 "A nation must be ready for every emergency" the nominee said. We are not mlitarists. l cannot but be amused at some of the bogies my good friends conjure up when we speak on that subject.
 There is no reason why we should not be prepared. There is no reason why we' should invite disrespect and contempt because we are not reason ably and adequately prepared.
 Reasonable preparedness is simply national common sense. I confess do not like the way the present ad . minstration has dealt with this mat ter. It learned it's own mind too late and even then it wasn't sure of it. We had difficulties to the south of us that were at least suggestive. Soon the whole world was concerned with mill ] tary matters. It was not time when one could be surprised.'
 Persons who urged the administra - ktion to prepare, Mir. Hughes said, were called nervous and excited. Suddenly

PARIS. Aug. i5.-The apparent slow rate of progress by the French and British forces on the western front since July l. as compared with that of the Russians on the eastern front, 1t is explained in military circles here, is due to the methodical nature of the entente offensive against line of strongly fortified positions extending virtually from the North Sea to Saloniki and the fact that infantry must wait until the ar tillery has done it's work The front of the central powers in the western theatcr of the var is much more strongly fortified than the front with which the Russian armies have to deal, so the latter are in a better situation for maneuvering on a large scale.

need Man in
KONA TO HELP
VETERINARIAN

Need of a deputy territorial veter-
marian on the island OF HAWAII was
impressed upon the territorial COM
missioners of agriculture in the report
read today at the monthly meeting
by Territorial Veterinarian Victor A.
Norgaard. DIR. Norgaard used as proof
of his argument two cases of CHAMBERS
which broke out last month at ko-
hala. t.i,-. ..- nm 1i.i 'tu Na;..t
This disease, undoubtedly a relic
from the WaipIo valley outbreak IN
1911. has made its appearance in no
hala," says the report, "a mare with a
mule colt being reported as suffering
from FLANDERS by the local veterlnar-
ian. DR.. Rowat. DR.. Elliot had both
animals killed and the premises dis
infected. -.
'.Since that time Dr. Rowat found
one more case in a neighboring sta
bile. which likewise was destroyed!
While there is no serious cause Tor
alarm, the desirabiiity' Of having
deputy territorial veterinarian in that
district becomes manifest
DR. Norgaard suggests that If the
plantation interests and the ranchers
of that neighborhood should unite in
recommending the appointment OF a
deputy, the board ought to cooperate
with them by providing<a good man
to look after the stock In North ana
South Kona. He says it is next to
impossible for one veterinarian to COW
err the island.

Heart Disease
Kills Dogs As
Well As People
Deaths Frequently Occur After
Visits From Masters or In
Moments of Excitement

That human beings are not the only
creatures TO suffer death from heart
failure. but that dogs are frequently
victims of such an attack, is the state
ment of Territorial Veterinarian Vic
tor A. Norgaard, made today in his
report before the board of agriculture
and forestry.
Three deaths from heart failure
have been noted at the territorial i'm
migration station, according TO the
veterinarian, and in two cases the
deaths occurred Immediately after the
victims had been visited by their
owners.
Because of this fact, visits at the
station from owners to their dogs are
discouraged by the officials as much
as possible. Death occurs most COM
monty among the higher bred animals.
A valuable Boston bull terrier died
during the last months from heart
failure" said Dr. NOrgaard in his re-
port. This animal appeared in eX-
cellent health up to a few minutes be-
fore mis- death. The keeper of the
station was at the time distributing
the evening meal, and the dogs were,
as usual, more or less excited.
The dog in question was also
dancing around and barking, when
suddenly it rolled over, frothing at the
mouth. and was dead in a few min
utes. A post norton examination
showed valvular insufficiency in both
sides of the heart, so that the dog
could, at very best, have lived but a
short time"
DIR. Norgaard says that heart failure
is estimated by authorities to cause
at least 5 per cent Of the deaths in
we'll bred dogs or dogs of the pet or
toy variety. Frequently the disease is
mistaken by the owner for rabies.

At END OF week

The notable exhibit of paintings
above Castle & Cookies offices will
close this week and E. w. Christmas
r. B. A., who has brought the collec
ton here, will then begin painting
local subjects Of interest.
Art critics of Honolulu regret that
the attendance at the Christmas ex
hibition has not been larger. Many
fine canvases are shown and while
there have been several sales, the
response has not been such as to
show great appreciation on the part
.f the public for art in this form. Mr.
Christmas has several splendid paint
ings of his own. Perhaps when he has
finished local subjects he will draw
more attention from Honolulans.
He has found in Hawaii much form
and color to attract the attention Of
the painter and expects to spend sew
eral weeks in the territory.

RURAL CREDITS TO
PAY SMALL RETURN
RECEIVERSHIP OF KENTUCKY
ASSOCIATION SHOWS BAD
CONDITION.

Lexington, KY, July 17.-Twen-
ty cents on the dollar at the highest
will be the amount paid to the stock
holders of the Kentucky Rural Cred
its Association, which was Saturday
placed in the hands Of a receiver, ac-
cording to the estimates made by
Claude Mercer, of Hardinsburg. who
filed for the directors of the associa-
ton the petition on which the re-
ownership was established. and who,
with r. A. Mcdowell. of Louisville,
has been appointed attorney for the
receiver.
Richard ]. Colbert was appointed
receiver Saturday by Circuit Judge
Kerr.
The application for an appoint
ment of a receiver came after state
ments severely rejecting upon the
condition of the association and its
management had been made both in
the answer filed to the suit and in
letter written to the board of direc-
tors by X. A. Mcdowell. OF Louisville,
who was elected on July 5 president
of the association to succeed former
Governor James B. McCreary, who
resigned.
In the amended petition asking
for receiver it was stated that to
date 1916, 900 had been paid into the
treasury of the organization by stock
holders, and that all that remains is
S135,OO0 worth of notes, which can
not be sold under present circum-
stances, the remainder, or $4,000,
having been used in paying the cost
of promotion, operating expenses and
salaries. BY reason of the Hender-
son suit, which asks for a receiver,
the officials have been unable to sell
notes secured by mortgages amount
ing to S135,00O to persons who had
contracted for them, the suit maxi
ing 1t impossible to realize the OBJ
ject and purpose of the association,

ers, to be secured by mortgages on

ALARMED AT THE
Low BIRTH RATE
ENGLAND WORRIES BECAUSE
AVERAGE DROPS TO 1913
SINCE WAR STARTED.
FIGHT INFANT DEATHS
Germans Display Science In Saving
Children BY Lowering The EN-
pire's Death Rate.

London, July 14.-Great Britain
has reached the lowest birth rate lev
ell in civil registration history and
England is worried about the baby
crop shortage. Official figures, avail
able today, show that the last three
months of 1915 produced the unpre-
cedented low average of 1915 births
per 1000 of population.
Since the beginning of the war the
birth rate has steadily declined while
infant mortality has alarmingly risen.
The average birth rate for 1916
23.S per 1,000-was the lowest on
record. During the first quarter Of
1915 it dropped to 22.9. During
1915, ITO infants died out of every
1000 births, the statistics show.
With war killing the population,
Great Britain is beginning to worry
about the future of the race. Various
unofficial societies interested in cor
rection of the declining birth and in
FAINT mortality evils are being quick
ened to their tasks by medical ex-
perts who sound the warning that
Britain's very existence is at stake.
Big Campaign Launched.
Much effort has been put forth dur
ing the last year to correct existing
conditions-principally ignorance
which has been responsible for the
deaths of thousands of infants under
/ year old. A strenuous campaign
has been launched. The falling
birth rate, medical experts urge,
must be Immediately dealt with. One
of these men well known in medical
circles urges the nation to forget ra-
cial animosity enough to emulate
Germany in the matter of additional
population.
He points out that Germany's pop
ulstion, which was 41,05S,792 i'm
mediately after the Franco-Prussian
war, rose to 42,727,36O four years
later; the population of France, Ger
many's enemy in this struggle, re-
NAMED stationary. He adds:
zone can only interpret these Ger
man figures in one way. Our enemies
foresaw the danger and took meas
ures to prevent IL; France did not.

object lesson in the meaning of birth
statistics.
