FIRST MOVE MADE
TO END THE WAR
PERMANENT PEACE C0NMIS-
SION HAS ITS FIRST MEET
ING AT BERNE.
Effort viii BE Made to Have the
Belligerent Nations Sign an
Armistice for at Least
Two Weeks.

BERNIE, Feb. 1.-THE first defi-
mite move to end the world war was
made here today when the perma-
nent peace commission to establish
lasting peace met to formulate plans
to call for an armistice. Peace adj
vocates of several neutral nations
are here for the first meeting. The
commission hopes TO obtain the con-
sent of the belligerent nations to an
armistice for at least two weeks be-
fore the spring campaign brings
fresh slaughter in Europe. 1t is be-
heved that if an armistice is signed
for two weeks fighting will never
be renewed. Several peace leaders
said they were encouraged over the
German chancellor's recent reich
stag speech to believe that Germany
will give benevolent consideration to
any peace plan for an armistace.
They say they hope TO suggest a
program to the belligerents designed
| to eliminate some of the more hor-
ribIe features of war. One OF these
is said to be the stopping of air
raids by all of the belligerents.
Prince Won Buelow, Prince Won
Kraft and other Teutonic representa-
tives have arrived at Lueerne. IL Is
reported they will keep in close
, touch with peace movements here.

HILO BREAKWATER
CONTRACT CALLED
OFF BY UNCLE SAM
Local Engineers Department
Gets Official Notification
of AnnuIment
AMERICAN SURETY co.
NAMED TO FINISH WORK
Vice President Richard Deming
Says Bonding Concern Will
Start Work Immediately

offIeiai notification has been reeeIv-
ed In Honolulu from the Chief OF En-
olneers, v. s. A., at Washington, o.
c., that the contract between George
z. Marshall, contractor, and the Unit
ed States government for the con-
struction Of the Hilo breakwater has
been annuIled and the American Sure
ty Company Of New York, surety for
Marshall, called upon 10 complete the
construction under the terms Of the
contract.
Notification of the annulment of the
contract was received by Lieut-Col.
n. r. Raymops of the local corps OF
u. s. engineers. COL. Raymond i'm
mediateiy informed Contractor Mar
shall at Hilo and Richard Deming,
yice-presidenteo of the American Surety
Company, who mas been in Honolulu
were informed I'm compliance with
instructions from the Chief of En-
gineers at Washington"
The annulment Of the contract
will proceed Immediately to complete
the construction OF the breakwater."
says Deming. Il intend to remain in
the islands and personally carry out
the contract. The entire work will
be done by the surety company"
The anullment OF the contract
comes as a vitality important develop
ment in the actionns which have been
brought against Marshall by the sure
ty company. One OF these actions is
for alleged debt or more than $4,000
and another for tie specific perform
afice OF contract. Marshall also has
brought suit. against the surety COM
pany for $4,000 damages, alleging
that the litigation has seriously ham
pered the work on the breakwater.
Speaking with regard to the $4,000
now due Marshall for September work
on the breakwater, and forming pri-
marily the basis for the litigation, NJ.
F. Prosser, one OF counsel for the
surety company, said today:
THE annulment OF the contract does
away with the question as TO who will
get the $4,000. It will be retained
by the United States government un-
der the terms Of the contract and
pending the final completion OF the
work"
What will be done with regard to
the suits now pending in circuit court
against Marshall Is matter of con-
lecture. Judge Ashford recently set
aside an order appointing receiver
and dissolved the temporary injunc-
ton against the contractor.
Brig. g.-Gen. r. K Evans yesterday
received the following cablegram from

CROP ESTIMATE
FOR 1917 SUGAR
IS635,0OO TONS
Figures From Sugar Factors
Co. Indicate Production Al
most Up to That of 1915
THIS YEARS OUTPUT TO
y. BE FAR SURPASSED
Guesses of More Optimistic
viii Not Be Reached Judging
BY Early Conditions

Hawaii will hive = sugar crop of
between 625,000 A. 100 trps in
1917 If preliminary estimates are
borne out. Optimistic ones have fore
cast much higher figures than these,
some as high as 100000 tons, but
early estimates now in do not warrant
such forecast. .....
While the Sugar Factors Company
now has preliminary estimates for
shipping purposes from all of the plan
tations associated with that company
Il Is not ready to give out at this time
the separate estimates of different
plantations. But Allen M. NOVEL;, its
secretary and manager, has given to
the Star-Bulletin totals Of the reports
that have been turned In to him and
these are complete.
The plantations, mills and compan-
les that go to make up the Sugar Fac
tors Company have turned in to Man.
ager NOVEL; estimates of the 1917 crop
that amount, in round numbers, to
525, 900. tons. NOVEL; emphasizes the
fact that these estimates are. prefim-
mary and that weather conditions OF
the next two months may have a de-
cided effect upon them, that they
may be increased or they may be dim
inished. But they are the figures upon
which arrangements for shipments
and for. sales are being arranged.
This year the sugar of the Sugar
Factors Company amounts to $4,000
tons and IL has been expected that
. uaatArtei. ircrease viii be shown for
1917. Figures do not warrant the
guesses that some have made. The
Increase over this year is now ex-
pected to be $4,000 tons or little
more than 10 per cent.
Indications are that 1917 will not
equal the figures of 1915 when $4,000
were marketed by the company.
Estimating the production OF plan
tations not connected with the Sugar
Factors Company, NOVEL; gave the
estimate for the full crop Of the ISL
ands to be between $4,000 and 640, 600.
The higher figure would closely ap-
proach the 1915 crop when there were
marketed 646,445 tons, and on Octo-
Der 5 of this year there had been
marketed SCI, ,225 and there was afloat
10000 tons with perhaps $4,000 tons
to be shipped or in all $4,000 tons.
