HILL VESSEL HAS
HALF THOUSAND
PASSENGERS

Half thousand passengers are
coming to Honolulu Tuesday morning
on the Hill liner Great Northern. A
radio message to Fred L. Waldron
Ltd, the local agents, from Capt. A.
Amman, her commander. received this
morning, gives the total number OF
passengers of all classes on board as
500.
This is the largest passenger list the
palatial steamer has brought from San
Francisco and Los Angeles since she
began calling here on the triangular
run. On her last voyage the Great
Northern brought 414 passengers from
the coast, and this time she will have
sc more than that number.
Her freight, however, is extremely
disappointing to the local agents. The
liner Is bringing only $50 tons, this
including % automobiles. 1T shows
how much local merchants are taking
advantage of the quick service offered
them by the Great Northern" COM
mented Mr. Waldron this morning.
The Great Northern has - sacks
of mail for Hilo, but only two for Ho-
nolulu, as the Matsonia, Also due here
Tuesday morning, has big despatch.
She left San Francisco last Wednes-
day, the same day the Great Northern
sailed from San Pedro.

SUEZ CANAL HIT
BY Changing
OF ROUTES

2 LONDON, England-The withdraw
al OF the Dutch liners from the Suez
canal to the East Indies, which went
into effect January ], means another
considerable falling off in the reve-
nues of the canal In 1914 vessels of
Dutch nationality held third place.
both as regards numbers and tonnage.
Great Britain was first with 5000 yes.
sells of 100000 tons; Germany came
second with $50 vessels of 2,1O0,00
tons, and Holland third with $50 ves-
sells of 100000 tons.
The official reason given for the di.
version of the Dutch boats is "the in.
creasing uncertainty of being able to
obtain the necessary coal at the ap.
pointed stations" but shipping men in
London think that the decision was
more likely due to German submarine
activity in the Mediterranean ports,
as there is no shortage in the supply.
The price for January at Port Said
will be about $22 per ton, as compared
with $3.50 before the war, but, owing
to the withdrawal of many vessels
which used the Suez route in normal
times, che reserves at the coaling sta.
tons are very large.

SESSION ON MEXICO is HELD
President Spends Three Hours in Night
Conference at White House, But
Nothing Is Given Out

Washington, Nov. 2O.-President
Wilson conferred for more than three
hours at night on the Mexican situation
with Secretary OF the Interior Lane,
Secretary OF State Lansing and Secre-
tary of War Baker.
There had been reports that the con-
ference would mark the end of the
seemingly fruitless session of the
American-Mexican joint commission, in
Atlantic City. However, no announce
ment was made following the presi-
dents conference. Secretaries Lansing
and Baker referred all inquiries to Mr..
Lane, who said there was nothing to be
given out.
Asked if there had been a change in
the national policy as result of the
conference, Secretary Lane replied in
the negative.

Thrice around the ships go down." the
lightning flashed very brightly, the
girl saw ship sinking, and she
dropped the stick she was stirring
with and ran into the cave.
The old witch ran after her and
dragged her back, telling her to stir
the kettle or she would set the cat af-
ter her. Il will never stir it again."
she said. "You are making the ships
go down and drowning the people on
board But the old witch pulled her
to the kettle and put the stick into
her hand Then a happy thought came
to the girl. She would stir in the op-
posite direction when the old witch
sang Thrice around, the ships go
down." and as she stirred the storm
ceased, but the old witch and the
witch daughter were whirling around
so fast they did not notice it.
Suddenly the girl heard great
splash, and, looking in the direction
drawn by two horses with golden
names, and driving them was man
with white beard, and in his hand he
carried golden rod, on the end Of
which were three prongs. The girl
dropped the stick and the old witch
and the daughter dropped upon the
ground on their faces. $50 I have
found you at last" said the man in
the chariot. "You have been causing
all this trouble at sea-"
The cat had crept up to him and was
ready to spring at him when the good
daughter screamed for him to look out
ooh! she cannot hurt me-" he said,
"but l will get her out of the way at
once" And he touched the cat with
his rod, and she became stone.
The old witch and her witch child
began to beg for mercy when they
saw what had happened to the cat,
and promised never to stir up the sea
again if he would spare them. The
man did not answer them, but turned
to the good girl and said: "You are to
come with me; the old witch stole you
when you were riding on a wave one
day. You were a mermaid, and she
changed you into a mortal. She in
tended to change you into a witch;
she did not know that she could not
make witch out of a mermaid. What |
shall we do with them?" he asked.
"Shall we turn them into a heap of
stones and let the waves wash over |
them, Or shall we change them to sand |
and let the waves wash them out to |
sea-"
could you make them good WON.

the Cerna river drove forward to the
village of Grunishte and captured that
position. In the Cerna bend they re-
pulsed a desperate counterattack on
Hill 1912, directly east of Monastir
near the town of Tven. So decisive
was the Prussian reverse that the Bull
garians fled i'm disorder.
The Serbans drove forward along
the entire line and when they reached
the summit of Hill 1887, the principal
Monastir barrier, the Prussian CON-
mands evacuated the city. A French
column then entered.
The entente troops have seized the
road leading to I'1ilep, the great Bull
garian base, and the pursuit of the
Teutonic forces continues.

New York, Nov. 21.-The French
liner La Touraine narrowly escaped
