Hope VanIIils'hes
For Soldiers

Tender CoIumbine and Tug Naya-
10 Give Up Search: Sharks "
Probably Devour Bodies

All hopes of rescuing the FIVE sol.
diers missing since they left Waialua
in launch. last Saturday for Pearl
Harbor, were given up yesterday by mil
itnry officers at Fort Shaftef, after the
return Of the craft which have been
searching for them. II seems likely
now that nothing will ever be definite
ly known of how the men were lost, for
the long continued search has not re.
suited In the discovery of the slightest
trace Of the launch in which they set
forth. 'rs
The lighthouse tender columbine and
the naval tug Navajo returned from
the futile search Mt noon yesterday.
Motorcycle searchers and coast patrols
also were called back to their posts.
The names of the men will be held
on Company /, Engineers, roster for
ten days, at the end of which time
they will be dropped from the list of
soldiers in the service Of the United
States. @.-. .-ss : ,
The ocean near waialua is infested
with sharks, and it is thought possible
that after the boat was swamped, il
such was its fate, the occupants we're
attacked by them. This would account
for the failure of the searchers TO find
any Of the bodies. The launch, say
the officers, probably would sink, on
account, Of her build and the heavy
machinery she Contained. 81.
% 1t is now thought almost certain that
the little vessel was swamped in
heavy sea, and that its FIVE occupants
were drowned, that the boat sank and
the bodies were eaten by sharks.

Guard
American Youths Of Nipponese
Percentage, Fearing To Join,
Urged To Show Patriotism

About q dozen American citizens of
Japanese parentage are planning to
join the Hawaii national guard, accord.
ing to statements in the local Japanese
press, and some interesting comments
upon their plan are published in the
papers. 1t is stated that they hest
tated to make known their intentions,
for fear that they would be attacked
by the local japanese community, but
their plan leaked out yesterday, and
WIS, it is stated, warmly commended
by the japanese colony.
at is no more than imaginary
fear, said an editorial in the Hawaii
Hochi last night, "that makes a dozen
or more. Japanese hesitate TO join the
National Guard of Hawaii, merely
thinking that il they do so they will be
opposed by the Japanese community
here. - "r 81 49,
No Reason For Opposition
"There is no reason for the japanese
community to oppose the noble desire
Of these Japanese American citizens to
join a patriotic body Of the United
States. A patriotic subject cannot
serve two Countries, and so even the
japanese government has allowed for
eign-born Japanese. to select their ma,
tionality, to avoid double citizenship
"Some boys, we are told, are per
picked, and fearing that If they swear
they will fight against Japan, should
the two Countries become hostile, the
japanese community would, perhaps
attack them. This perplexity seems to
be natural for youth, but there is no
need Mt all to fear about such o thing
for we can surely say that the peace of
the two countries will never be broken
Not only that, but If the American
citizens of Japanese parentage join the
patriotic bodies of America, the friend
ly relations Of the two governme at 8
will become closer than ever.
Japanese Favor Movement
"EVen the Japanese government, or
the mother country, has no reason to
oppose the noble plan Of these local
japanese youths, and we japanese are
broadrminded enough to congratulate
them on their desire to join the Ma
tional Guard of Hawaii. We have no
doubt that Mr.. Moroi, japanese consul
general, will also congratulate them
upon their plan. We therefore heartily
advise them to apply to Brigadier Gen
eral Johnson for permission to join
the national guard.'

ATTACK BRITISH FIERCELY
Germans Push Terrific Onslaught
Alonu 85-Mile Front.

The German efforts on the west
ern front for the present seem
to be directed against the Brit
ish along the line in northern France
and Belgium, where London reported
activity that seemed to cbserver2 tho e
to indicate that the Germans might be
about to launch an offensive as deter.
mined as that directed against Ves
dun.
For the first time in many days the
French official statement mentions no
notable activity, even by the artillery
in the Verdun region. Only an inter
mittent bombardment in the vicinity
of Avocourt and Esnes, to the west
the Meuse, is recorded.
The German offensive against the
British lines, over a front Of eighty
five miles wide, in which poison gas.
heavy artillery and great masses OF
infantry are being u:ed, is regarded by
military critics as an attempt to save
Lille from capture. Recent heavy
losses OF British troo~s in northern
France are now explained. For four
weeks the English have been steadily
pressing against the German lines
north and west of Lille until they now
are within six miles o.! the great &C..
man base.
The salvation of Lille is necessary
for a preservation OF the present Ger
man front, so the Germans were com
PEELED to launch a counter drive which
according to official des patches to the
war office, is now in full swing. Froni
Ypres, in west Flanders, to poins
south of Arras, the Germans have
launched furious attacks without gain
ing any material result.
The main assaults OF the Germans
were delivered northwest Of Lille anc
in Artois, where the British Eave TAX
en- over the French lines in order to
relieve French troops for use at Yer.
dun. At the time there is evidence
that the German general staff is at
tempting general offensive. The
closing of the Swiss frontier by tn"
Germans indicates they are preparing
a drive at that end of the line.

TWenty-four thousand employees on

ment OF a voluntary increase IN the

come effective on May |.
The increase will mean the adding

which last month was S1,700,0O0. This
Is the third voluntary increase, each
approximating ten per cent within ten
months, or practically a thirty per
cent raise in less than a year.
President E. G. Grace said it pleas
ed him to make the announcement
Just as much as it will please the en-
ployes to receive its benefits. In
speaking Of the prosperity OF the local
plant, C. NJ. Schwab said that the mel
earnings last month were S3,5O0,O0O.
Mr.. Schwab said that during the next

900 in Improvement to the local plant,
and $3S,O00,000 in Improvements to
the various plants that compose the

He said nine years ago the Beth.e'

A German battle cruiser squadron
appeared off Lowestoft, England.
LEGAL naval forces engaged the raid
e-s and also British light cruisers
The German warship5 retreated In
twenty minutes pursued by British
men OF war.
In the engagement two British light
cruisers and destroyer were hit, bat
none Of them was sunk.
The German warships opened fire on
the coast before departing. TWO men,
one woman and a child were killed.
The material damage apparently was
small.
The battle was fought so close to
the shore that persons on land could
hear the roar Of the guns and see
the shells dropping into the sea.
The German ships had been able to
penetrate the British patrol lines IN
the darkness and naval officers were
not certain whether the Germans hal
come out to give battle or to lombard
the English coast.
1t is believed that some, if not all
of the German men-of-war that took
part in the sea fight, came from zee

the Belgian coast by British Warshlps
is reported in an Exchange Telegram
despatch from Amsterdam. The BON
bardment is described as one OF the

The despatch, received at Amsterdam
from Flushing, says:
Several British warships, acccm
panied by destroyers and other YES
sells, Sunday bombarded Zeebrugge
and the German batteries off Heyst,
Blankenberghe and knCc!;e. The bonn
bardment was one OF the heaviest
since the beginning of the war and
also of the longest duration
"The damage done at ZeeJrugge is
said to have been enormous. The mar
Dor and docks we're hit several times
and some ships were sunk.
British aircraft also threw bombs
on German batteries"
The Amsterdam correspondent OF
the Central News SAYS that during the
bombardment the fire from the British
warship was answered by three Ge:.

troyers were driven into Zeebrugge
harbor and that all of them appeared
to have been hit.
The following official announcement
was made concerning the German sea
