FATHER WANTS TO
DIVORCE MOTHER
OF MISS.SPR|NG
MuItimiIIionaire Parent of Girl
Held in Honolulu Would

Miss Dorothy Spring, the daughter
of the Berkeley multi-millionaire who

her husband had announced he wanted
divorce in order that he might mar
ry Mrs. Genevieve L. Ecker, charm

Mr.. and Mrs. Spring have been mar
ried for % years and have seven chill
dren, but not until the wireless reach
ed the Tenyo Maru did Mrs. Spring
know that her husband wanted to be
free to marry the young widow, who
is only % years of age. Mr. Spring
himself was born SO years ago.
Mrs. Spring, on landing at the
coast, would make no statement as
to her intentions She, was met by
her brother and her Oldest son.

U. S. SECOND NOTE TO AUSTRIA
Dual Monarchy Is Held Responsible

Americas second note to Austria
on the Ancona sinking. one which
bears directly upon the situation Gre
ated by the sinking of the Persia.
reached Honolulu In today's mail from
the mainland.
1t declares thar the official admis-
sion Of the Austrian admiralty that
the liner was torpedoed after she had
stopped and while passengers were
still aboard, alone is sufficient for the
American demand for Cilsavowal, repa-
ration and punishment of the subma-
rine commander.
Secretary Lansing's second note,
made public on December %, renews
the demands of the United States and
says the details to which Austria re-
ferred in her reply to the first Anleri-
can communication. are In no way
essential to the discussion. 1t empha-
sizes that continuance OF good rela-
tions between the two countries de-
pends upon the action OF the Austrian
government. The full text of the note,
which is addressed to American Am.
bassador Penfield, follows:
The government of the United
States has received the note Of your
exeellency relative to the sinking Of
the Ancona, which was delivered at
Vienna on December 10, 1916, and
transmitted to Washington, and has
given the note Immediate and careful
consideration.

mex, the charge d'affaires of the i'm

ington,. transmitted to the department
of state a report of the Austro- Hun
garian admiralty with regard to the
sinking of the steamship Ancona, In
which it was. admitted that the vessel
was torpedoed after her engines had
been stopped and when passengers
were still on board. This admission
alone is. in the view of the govern
ment of the United States, sufficient
to fix upon the commander of the sub
marine which fired the torpedo the
responsibility for having wilfully yio-

lated the recognized Jaw of nations
and entirely disregarded those humane
principles which every belligerent
should observe in the conduct Of war
at sea.
Irony Ironed.
In view of these admitted circum;
stances the government of the United
States feels justified In holding that
the details Of the sinking Of the An
coma. the weight and character of the
additional testimony corroborating the
admiralty's report, and the number of
Americans killed or injured are in no
way essential matters Of discussion.
The culpability OF the commander is
in any case established, and the un-
disputed fact is that citizens of the
United States were killed, injured or
put in jeopardy by his lawless act
The rules of International law and
the principles of humanity which were
thus wilfully violated by the command
+er of the submarine have been so
long and so universally recognized and
are so manifest from the standpoint
of right and justice that the govern
ment of the United States does not
feel called on to debate them and
does not understand that the imperial
and royal government questions or
disputes them.
Austria Responsible.
The government of the United
States, therefore. finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial
and royal government responsible for
the act of its naval commander and to
renew the definite but respectful de-
mands made In its communication OF
the 9Th of December. 1915. 1t sim
cerely hopes that the foregoing state
ment of its position will enable the
imperial and royal government to per-
ceive the justice of those demands
and to comply with them in the same
spirit of frankness and with the same
concern for the good relations now
existing between the United States
and Austria-Hungary. which prompted
the government Of the United States
to make them.

carried out by the Endeayor unions in

The prizes will be in the form of

The first will go to the president of

ber of intermediate societies, and the

Members OF the Christian Endeav,
conference with Doctor Clark in Ka-
waiahao church this morning. during
which time Doctor Clark told how the
societies in the territory might be bet
tered.
The Christian Endeavor work. he
said, is for the training of young peo'
pie in church service, and more stress
should be laid on work for young peo-
pie than on work for adults. This,
he continued, has been one of the
great weaknesses in church activities
the young people have been neglect
ed and the adults have taken the work
in their hands, held the prominent po-
sitions and have given the young peo-
pie nothing to do but to receive lee
lures.
He pointed out that the young peo-
pie want different lines of work to be
mapped out for them. and that they
want to solve their own problems.
