HILO, Dec notwithstanding
the tremendous rains OF this week, the
drainage canal through the Waiolama
swamp has been able to take care OF
the water and convey IL TO the sea.
Engineer Wheeler spent all day Mon
day in the heavy rain. inspecting the
canal and other parts OF the filled-in
swamp. Wheeler says that he was
delighted to see how the canal took
care of the water and he also com.
mented upon the fact that the reclaim
ed portion OF the swamp shed the wa
ter well and se.lt IL down TO the big
ditch.
The heavy rains OF the early part of
the week flooded other parts OF the
town, and there was much water to
be seen everywhere on Monday last.
However, the Waiolama swamp,
through the good work of the new
canal, showed but little effects from
the dowapour Of rain.
At the Four Miles bridge on the
Volcano road there was as usual a
tremendous amount Of water backed
up and there must have been depth
OF four feet or more Of water over the
bridge. The bridge was threatened
with destruction early in the day and
only for some wires that were attached
TO II the structure would surely have
been washed away. AS 1t was, the
bridge keeled over at an angle and was
only held by the wires.
Many people who were on the Olaa
side Of the flooded bridge had to pro-
coed to Eight Miles and there leave
their automobiles and take the train
for town. On the Hilo side there were
many country people stranded and, as
in some instances, they lived beyond
the Fifteen Miles station, they had to
stay in town as the railroad track was
washed out at that point.
The Wailuku river ran higher than
Il has been seen for some years and
a tremendous volume Of water came
down the gulch. The island above the
bridge was almost all submerged hut
when the water was at its highest,
there vas still q small patch of rock
TO be sssn above the raging river.
There were some washouts along
the government road towards Ha-
makua, and small landslides also hap |
pened at some points along the line.
A heavy sea ran along the coast
and steamers were unable to work at
the plantation landings. In the konas
there vas some rain and a big thun.

rying it to its absurd lengths deserves
recognition Furthermore, even its

rest can easily be endured for the

who know the game from every angle
the Punahous should make good

To date the Junior League teams
have made good impression, and
with the entrance Of Punahou into
the field the race promises to be an
exciting one. The Chinese and Fill
pinos could not play on Sunday owing
to wet grounds, and both teams are
anxious to get into the game. Mana

in the field, and with good collec-

The n. A. C. team until yesterday
did not seem to have better than an
outside chance, but from the way 1t
played Monday and the team work it
displayed, the Kakaakos, who have
up to this time led the field with ap-
parent ease, must get in and dig II
they expect to land the bunting.
In the afternoon the Koreans in the
Junior League pulled even bigger
surprise when they defeated the here
tofore inyinoible Kalihis; who have
been cleaning all the teams with ease.
The part that surprised everybody
was the fact that the Koreans Won
in three straight sets and played the
Kalihis to a standstill. They won the
first set 81 to IA, the second Il to
10 and the third q to 20. The play
ing Of Chung and Kim were the big
factors in the winning of the game,
as both of these men played a great
game and set fast pace.
The Kalihis were weak in defense
work and unless they brace up great
deal it looks as if the Koreans will
take the, rubber game, which viii be
played next Saturday afternoon in the

Press giving s., 400, the Winnipeg
Telegram 81, 500 and the Wipni-
peg Tribune $1,000. / understand
this same policy was adopted in
Toronto by the Toronto Mail and
Empire, the Globe, the World and
the News. ~. ".... III.
Previous to February l, when
| became associated with the Win
nipeg Telegram, | held the posi-
ton of secretary-treasurer of both
the Manitoba Patriotic Fund and
the Manitoba Red Cross Society.
During the first year of the war
we raised by public subscription,
through the use of from four
column to full-page appeals in the
newspapers, over 100000 Ill
cash for the Red Cross Society
we used only small space, which
had the result of bringing in over
$25O,000 in cash and supplies dur
ing the first year.
Ten days ago Winnipeg re-
quired $4,000 additional funds
for patriotic purposes. The COM
mittee in charge of the campaign
used five-column display an
nouncements in each of the three
Winnipeg papers for five days,
and when the campaign closed the
amount was over -subscribed.
ttThe Canadian Red Cross So
eiety has sent millions of dollars
worth of goods to the battlefields
of Europe, and the Manitoba Pa
triotic Fund, which helps to pro-
vide for the wives and children of
the soldiers OH active service, IS
paying out nearly 100000 per
month.
It would be Just as reasonable
for the Red Cross Society to go
to one Of our wholesale dry-goods
houses and ask them to supply one
hundred rolls Of hospital linen as
it would be to come to our news
papers and ask us to contribute
our space free. Our space is just
as much of staple commodity
with us as the linen is with the
wholesale dry-goods house.
"The policy adopted has re-
ceived no criticism; ON the other
hand, the patriotic societies only
use a limited amount of space at
such times as they are absolutely
in need Of funds. -
There can be no question but
that the stand of the Canadian
and English papers is both pa
triotic and businesslike. Under
such policy as Mr.. Roland de-
seribes, advertising will emerge
from the war with respect for it
increased, rather than diminished.
Surprising the Canadian pub
fishers had chosen to give away a
million dollars worth of space.
People would have been quick to
say, ooh, it didn't cost anything
probably it isn't worth any
thing

VIOLA allen Is
NATIONAL star

Viola Allen, for years famous act
ress of the legitimate stage, and Rich
ard c. Travers, silent dramas fore
most actor, come to the National the
alter tomorrow as co-stars in THE
White Sister" the dramatization of f..
Marion crawford's novel of that name.
Miss Allen starred for long time ia
the legitimate production. In the
film presentation she was given the
strongest supporting cast money could
obtain and this has been combined
with some remarkable feats of motion
photography.
= An idea the strength of the cast
may be gained from the fact that Er-
nest Maupain, who takes the role OF
DIR. Pieri. was for years Sarah Bern
hardts leading man. Sydney Aims
worth, whom Honolulu picture fans
know and appreciate, John Thorn. Ca
mile Darcy, John Cossar, Thomas
Cummerford and Frank Dayton take
the remaining principal parts.
A novel introduction to the story is
employed. The novel, THE White
Sister, gli6es out on the stage, tap-
parently- without human agency, pre-
sents its back with the title of the
book, turns around and opens the
frontispiece, showing full length pic
ture of Viola Allen. Miss Allen is
then seen to step right out of the page
in diminutiye form and increase to
natural size, when she makes bow
to the audience and the play is on.
