COMMENTED ON

That improvement of Hawaii's ship

article on the subject in the San

TENDER 20, which says: ...- =. d. =.
Excellent progress is being made
by contractors in the building of Piers
8, 9 and 10 for Honolulu harbor. The
three piers are practically conso1i-
dated into one, of the bulkhead class,
and constitute the most extensive
wharf ever built in the Hawaiian
Islands With the completion of this
work. Honolulu harbor will have IL
principal wharves, three-fourths Of
them with capacity for the largest
passenger and freight steamers plying
the Pacific.
Tests have been given to the float
ing drydock of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company. Its capacity for
vessels of the size of the Wilhelrnina
is shown to be ample. With the con-
pletion of new wharves and the addi,
ton of vessels of large type calling
at Honolulu the Inter-lsiand Company
las in contemplation the construction
of two to four units, giving the float
ing drydock a much great capacity.

CROP
OF SUGAR FAILS
TOCAUSE WORRY
Large Estimate From Cuba
Does Not Alarm Honolulu
Sugar Men Over Prices

Students of sugar prices in Homo
lulu are doing little worrying as the
effect OF the estimated increase IN the
Cuban crop OF 1917 on the average
price of sugar for the coming year.
While the crop estimate is large and
while other increases in estimated
crops come from other directions also,
other conditions being unchanged
continuance of high prices is gener-
ally anticipated. s :. . -..
Following the receipt of advices as
published Monday in the Star-Bulle-
tin that the estimated crop of Cuba
is 10 per cent greater than that OF
this year. which would bring it in aex-
cess OF 100000 tons, inquiry was
made OF various persons interested i'll
the sugar industry Of the island and
the practically unanimous opinion is
that such an Increase would not have
any material effect on the sugar mar
ket. even in addition to other estimat-
ed increases that have been reported
provided the war shall still continue.
A composite expression Of the opin-
ions voiced on the question W sugar
prices is that the forecast from Cuba
IS rather early and that advices "a
month or two from now may change
and reduce it, but that If it be not
reduced that increase and the further
increases promised in beet sugar and
from ether sources will not more than
meet the increased demand that is
expected. Europe will need more
rather than less sugar in the coming
year. The countries of the Entente
have not been able to secure nearly
all that they sought this year. In
creased crops would merely come
nearer to meeting their requirements.
II the war should end it might be
different Even then the price would
depend largely upon where Great
Britain would seek her sugar. If she
should seek the lowest market she
would buy from Germany and Austria,
but If the bitterness. of feeling is as
intense as has been said she would
not use the sugar produced in the
countries with which she is now at
war, And during a period of peace ne.
gotiations there could be little or no
diminution from present demands.
There rs reason to anrIclpate con.
tinuance of present prices rather than
any decrease.

QUARREL ABOUT
PRICE OF FISH
BROUGHT BATTLE
Dispute Between Japanese
Drug Clerk and Chinese Boy
is Cause of Massacre"
fRr Associated Prsssl

MUKDEN, China. - Controversy
concerning the price of fish Is re-
ported to have been the immediate
cause Of the conflict between Japa-
nose aud Chinese soldiers at Cheng-
Cliatun on August l3, which resulted
in the death of II soldiers and the IN
jury of many others.
A Japanese drug clerk, who was
buying fish from Chinese boy. OBJ
jected to the price asked and gave
the boy a beating. Chinese soldiers
resented the attack made upon the
Toy by the Japanese and handled the
drug clerk roughly
The disgruntled Japanese reported
10 Japanese officers that he had been
assaulted by Chinese soldiers with
out reasons. A Japanese gendarme
was detailed to make an investiga-
ton and reported that his efforts 70
get information at the Chinese oar
racks had been resisted A lieuten-
ant and 20 privates were detailed By
tie Japanese commanding officer 70
proceed to the Chinese barracks and
obtain satisfaction
Two sentries at the Chinese bar
racks refused the Japanese troops
admission. The Chinese insist that
the Japanese lieutenant gave orders
for his soldiers to use force. A bat
tie followed, in which seven Japanese
soldiers were killed outright, five
were mortally wounded and several
others less seriously injured. -Four
Chinese soldiers we're killed and .
number wounded.
While it has not been positively
established who fired the first shot,
it was probably fired by Chinese
who was standing some distance
from the gate and is reported to have
fired with such deadly aim that be
alone probably killed most OF the
Japanese.
After the conflict the Japanese fled
to their barracks, where they barri-
caded themselves, fearing a general
attack from Chinese troops. The
magistrate of Chengchiatun visited
the Japanese commander IN an effort
| to make amends and restore peace
He was kept as a prisoner In the
] Japanese barracks by the con.
mander, who explained that he felt
he was protecting his troops against
| any further attack by holding the
magistrate. Finally the Japanese re:
leased the magistrate after he had
turned his son over to them TO Dc
held as hostage.
On August 16 the magistrate ct.

AGING OF

Determine Probable Effect

LONDON, Eng.--What will be the
effect upon future generations OF the
premature aging OF millions OF men
now at the battle fronts2 Army pny-
sicianS and men of science generally
are beginning TO discuss the problem.
II is said that soldiers ten months in
the trenches, exposed to the nerve
shattering shock OF shell fire, often
come out with the appearance of ten
wears having been added to their life.
A shorter period than this often SUI

All NationaIities Suffer
This premature aging is peculiar to
no one nationality. II is noticeably
alike along the English and French
lines and among the prisoners from
Germany. Austria and Russia. IL is
said TO be perhaps little more pro-
nounced along the eastern fronts
where the vast amount of territory
involved frequently makes neglect OF
the wounded inevitable. There are
men who have lain for days without
medical attention and when finally
admitted to the hospital have given
their ages at 81 to "a years when or
dinarily they would have been classed
as 40 or 45. ..'.-@. 49,.
Physicians Blame Worry

"The theory of sub-censcious worry
was borne out strikingly short time
ago in the case of a surgeon in charge

the fighting naturally is greater will
