OF CONGRESS POSSIBLE
 BY NEXT SATURDAY
Revenue Bill Is the Only Important Legislation
 Left Before the Senate

Washington, August 2o.-Adjournment .of Congress now waits only the passage or the emergency revenue bill, re-pass- age of the army appropriation bill with amendments to meet President Wilson, s veto, completion of the general defic- lency appropriation measure, and final action on few conference reports, in cluding the government shipping.
 Senate leaders says they would be ready to adjourn next Saturday if the House could be prevailed upon to accept the amended revenue bill without fight This does not seem likely, however, and Congress probably will not be ready for adjournment before September 1 or 9.
 Fears of indefinite delay resulting from President Wilson's veto of the army ap- propriation bill because of it's exemp- tion from the military code of retired officers and men have almost entirely disappeared On Tuesday the House will repass the bill under special rules with the articles of war which contained Rep- resentative Hays objectionable amend. ment eliminated. It will be rushed to tho Senate, where the plan Is to re-insert the articles of war minus the Hay amend. ment. Unless present plans miscarry the bill will then go to conference and Rep. resentative Hay, his friends declare. will surrender. There is a possibility, how. ever. that the articles of war may ba thrown out in the Senate on a point of order that they are not germane to an appropriation bill. If any senator makes the point that will end the controversy.
 ON REVENUE BILL
 Tomorrow the Senate will begin dis cussion of the revenue bill, designed to raise s2o5, 100000 annually through income, inheritance, munitions, liquor corpora

With the British Armies in France, August 19.-(Via Lon don, August 20)-What two battalions did and how they did it was the most thrilling incl dent of the last 24 hours of sen sational fighting from the Ancre to the Somme.
 All along the line from the south of the Ancre the British left their trenches while the French were hard at it on the right The time chosen was o'clock yesterday afternoon. Two battalions were on the left with more guns to help them, probably, than any two battalions that ever made charge. One hundred cannon were en- gagged in making curtain of fire on their front, while others were busy with other details of the staff plan. Nothing in the whole offensiy was so dramatically staged or came off with greater success.

FOUNDING AWAY

Yesterday afternoon the British guns were pounding away as usual at this sec tor which is called the Leipsic redoubt, when the British thanks to a new system for taking care of machine guns and with a quick burst of artillery preparation covering their charge, appeared on the iump through the doors of their dug outs.
 They were visible to observers running about the maze of traverses like terriers searching for ratholes. their bayonets cleaning and puffs of smoke rising as they threw their bombs.
 In one capacious dug-out. equippend with beds, tables and cupboards six off, cers and ITO men surrendered in body and were marched off after the manner of a crowd caught in gambling house raided by the police. Some managed to escape from their dug g-outs. though sur rounded tried to man their machine guns and were shot down. Still others fought to the death with bayonets and bombs.

Railroad Executives Said to Be Working on New Pro- posals to Satisfy De-
 mands of Unions
TELEGRAMS POUR IN WHITE HOUSE AND WILSON MAKES REPLY
The Railroad Union Leaders Spend Sunday Quietly and Issue No Statements.
 Rest at Seashore

Washington, Aug ust 20. The ranking railroad execu- tives of the nation, who have been conferring with the Pres ident for a week in efforts to avert a nation wide strike of their employees, tonight were understood to be working on a proposal granting some of the men $ demands and offering to arbitrate others. Although the executives apparently continue | to maintain their position in opposition to Presidents plan, granting the employees a basic eight-hour day while a com mission investigates, admins tration officials expressed the hope that ultim a tely they would decide on the President $ proposal.
 The only outward development in the situation today was the declara- ton by President Wilson that, instead of endangering the principle of arbi- tration, his plan would strengthen it. The telegram was in answer to one from George Pope of Hartford, Conn.,, president of the National Manufac- turers' association, urging the Presi- dent to preserve arbitration in the present negotiations. MT. Pope's tele- gram follows:
 ANSWERS TELEGRAMS
 'On behalf of 37OO manufacturing or ganizations employing 100000 persons. and utterly dependent upon uninterrupt- ed railroad service for their continued operation, I beg at once to express our deep appreciation of your efforts to pre- vent the threatened destructive stoppage of national railroad service, and to re- spectfully urge that you will with all the power of your great office and person. ality assert and maintain the principle of arbitration for industrial disputes affect ing national intercourse. No just demand can fear such test, no unfair demand can or should survive it. We sincerely believe no man in our history has DOS sessed such an opportunity to fortify this essential principle of public security against future attack by employer or employe."
 The President replied:
 BELIEVES IN ARBITRATION
 Allow me to acknowledge the re-
 ceipt of your telegram of August IS,
 and to say in reply that hold to the
 principle of arbitration with as clear
 8 conviction and as firm a purpose as
 anyone. but that unfortunately there

F 0RTY MILLIONS
 THE COST OF TROOPS .0N MEXICAN BORDER
Report of Emergency Ap- propriations Shows Large Sum Expended in En-
 broglio With Carranza
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, August 20.--tSpecial) When the people of the country are made to realize that the punitive ex- petition into Mexico. supplemented by national guardsmen dispatched to the border, has cost the government of the United States practically $40,000, 900, they will be able to appreciate the vastness of that sum which the gov ernment saved when it managed to avoid serious difficulty with Germany
 The 1916 deficiency appropriations for the military and naval establish ments-deficiency appropriations being urgent and extraordinary appropria- tions-has amounted to the staggering total of s40,O73,15S 96. The itemized figures secured for The Age-Herald by the clerk of the Senate committee on appropriations, show that the great bulk sof this deficiency appropriation was expended on the military arm of the government in getting the men into Mexico and onto the border, in maintaining them in food, clothing and equipment, and in making their sur roundings sanitary.
 A COSTLY EMBROGLIO
 In other words, of the total of more than s40,cO0,o00, a study of the figures will prove that about $3o,000,oO0 was expended as a result of the Mexican embroglic.

JAPAN MAKING SHIRTS FOR

He carries a, line of samples, takes

Japanese maids in Toxic, paid 16
cents day, make up the shirts. These
now come in at a tariff of 80 per cent.
Prior to the Underwood law the duty
was 80 per cent Japan is now weav-

pan can be laid down in New York,
after paying the 80 per cent duty, at
less than one-third the cost Of max

FARNUM BEST in
THE RLUNDERER'

William Farnum's name featured in
either the stage Offering or photo
drama usually spells something big
and out of the ordinary. Witness The
Spoilers" one of the greatest photo
plays ever produced, with red-blooded,
two-fisted men who pioneer into the
outposts of civilization. Witness, also,
The Plunderer,"e In which this talent
ed actor opens at the Hawaii theater
tonight.
Roles that call for ability-with a
capital A--are always entrusted to
William Farnun, and he always gives
value received. In his latest screen
Offering, under the management of
William FOX. Farhum gives one of the
best Characterization of his career,
according to all reports from the
mainland, where The Plunderer'' has
enjoyed long. runs in all of the leading
cities.
Mainland critics are of one opinion
in declaring The Plunderer" to be
the equal of THE Spoilers" Taking
this for granted. the play which comes
to the Hawaii tonight must of neces-
sity be great screen offering. The
Fox Film Corporation is. ever under
taking something "just little larger,
q little better and little different"
This organization, virtually q new one
in the photo-play field, is rapidly out
distancing its rivals and the reason
is such artists as William Farnum and
such offerings as The sPlunderer."
This feature will be the attraction at
the Hawaii for the balance of the
week ~
The Hawaii theater for each week
end Is presenting a most amusing Sc
ries OF Charlie Chaplin comedies.
These are shown at each performance,
both afternoon and evening. and 1t is
an even bet whether the Riddles at the
matinee or the grown-ups at night are
the best pleased with the curious an
tics of this clever little comedian.

Pauline Frederick, the greatest emo

Bella Donna, her greatest film Offer
ing, closes her engagement at the
Liberty theater tonight; having won
the hearts of all Liberty patrons by
her wonderful rendition of the treach-
erous, wicked, murderous Bella DON
na. Despite the despieable character
which she is called upon to portray,
through her wonderful personality
Pauline Frederick awakens bond of
sympathy for Bella Donna who, de-
feated in her interruptions plotting
for wealth and position, finds rest and
peace ON the great desert along the
Nile.
Throughout the entire film Bella
Donna appears without one single re-
deeming feature, and yet, as the sands
of the bleak desert gradually enshroud
her beautiful form and the hungry
jackal awaits her tender flesh, none in
the auliehce out breathes sigh of
regret many shedding a tear-that
the handsome Bella Donna meets such
pitiful end.
