But French to South Push on
New Gains.
GERMANS RETAKE THIAMONT
Paris Announces Capture of Part Of
Estrees After Forty-eight Hours of
Terrific Fighting British Lose Part
of La BoisseIle-Gain at Other
Points

FONTS.
LONDON, ENG. = Claims from the
German war Office, supplemented by
official admissions from both Paris
and the British l.eld Headquarters in
France, indicate that the British part
of the great allied offensive il the
neighborhoOd of the Somme has been
checked for moment at least.
Not only has the spectacular rush
for the French and British forces been
brought to a halt. but at several
points, Of which the most important
is the village of La Boisselle, the
counter attacks of the Germans have
dislOdged the allies from captured pc
sitions.
The official report from Sir Doug
las Haig admits the retreat of the
British from "some portions" Of La
Boisselle
French Take Two Towns.
While German and British state
ments indicate that the check to the
British has been decisive for the mo-
ment, the midnight communique from
Paris indicates that the French, after
a night of temporary quiet, struck
heavily again. Two villages were add
ed to the number already taken by
the French, Bareaux and Belloy-ell-
Santerre, south of the Somme, falling
in the days operations.
In addition to these advances Paris
also claims the capture of the woods
in the neighborhood of Assevillers,
one of the villages which was taken
Monday.
A gain of considerable Importance
is also disclosed in the announcement
of the capture of a portion Of the
town of Estrees. The French advanc-
ed to this position in the second days
rush, but were checked at the edge
of the town. For the last forty eight
hours a furious battle has been going
on for possession of the village, the
troops fighting hand-to-hand in the
ruined streets while machine guns
placed behind fallen walls added their
toll of dead
British Losses Heavy.
The German official announcement
of a check to the British between the
Ancre and the Somme declares heavy
losses were inflicted upon the British,
both by the German artillery and in
fantry. The statement admits violent
attacks by the British and continual
ton of their offensive at all points,
but declares every attack was thrown
back with losses to the assailants.
Thiamont German Again.
The most important action on the
west front was once more in the Yer
dun region The Thiamont work, the
point over which French and Germas
armies have battled for weeks, was
again captured by the Germans-for
the fourth time.

MAOLE LICENSE
NOT READY FOR
TWO MORE DAYS
Deputy Attorney is Working
on Other Brief Which
~. Needs Attention

No further action to rouse the Hille

the dormant condition it reached some
days ago in the rolls of red tape that
surround it will be taken for two
DAYS. -Ea
This fact, stated today by Attorney
General Arthur G. Smith, to whom the
matter of drawing up a license has
been referred by the board of agri-
culture and forestry; is the first init
nation the Star Bulletin has been able
to gain FOR some days as TO when fur
Their action is likely.
i am working now on brief for
this Office SAID Attorney Smith to-
for two days. Until am through with
ii do not intend to take up the Hille-
brand Glen matter
Smith said that the actual work of
drafting a license for the forestry
board and the land commissioner will
not take more than an hour This
probably means that the license viii
be ready by Monday or Tuesday and
that the land commissioner, returning
from Maui on the latter date, will send
it soon after TO the loan fund COM
mission, for which a special meeting
must needs be called to award the
contract .....
Belief is common around the Capitol
building that Picanco & Comes, low
bidders by several thousands of dol
lars on the work, will be awarded the
contract despite the strenuous pro-
tests that have been raised against
such action by James T. Taylor,
rival bidder.
Engineers about the city, practically
as a whole, are of the opinion that Pr
cameo can neither do the work in the
time nor for the money-$1S,535-that
he has offered.
On the other hand there is one con-
tractor in the city who claims that
Picanco will clear $4,000 on the work,
and who is himself willing to take it
up for $1,000 less than Picancos offer.
Proper bondsmen must be provided
by the contractor getting the award
within 10 days after he secures the
contract. Otherwise he will forfeit
his certified check.

Secretary of Free kindergarten
Praises Supervisors for
Work on Fairgrounds

Catherine f. B. Cox, secretary OF
the Free Kindergarten and Children's
Aid Association, has written letter
to the mayor and board of supervisors
TO be presented at the next meeting,
thanking them for the work done in
certain public parks and Fairgrounds
and recommending the repair OF other
apparatus The letter, which gives
considerable Information on the con-
dition of parks and Fairgrounds in
the city is, in part, as follows: =.
The Free kindergarten and Chill
dren's Aid Association greatly appre-
ciates the provision by the city and
county OF swings, slides and other
suitable playground apparatus and
hopes that this policy may be contin-
ued and further extended as conditions
warrant. 49,. .>.
Such apparatus as is already es-
tablished should be repaired and
maintained in such manner as to be
safe for children. Unless provision
be made for maintenance the appara-
tus will quickly deteriorate and may
become a menace to life or limb 1t
is reported that in some instances an
unsafe condition of some of the APP
paratus already exists. The superin-
tendent of parks and Fairgrounds in
forms us that the appropriation now
existing out Of which necessary re
pairs can be made. is not sufficient.
The value OF these Fairgrounds and
especially of the supervised play
grounds has been abundantly estab-
lished. They make not only for
health and enjoyment but also for bet.
ter law and order in the community.
At Atkinson park, where the director
reports an average attendance of be
tween 60 and 20 children, mostly Ha-
waiians, boys who were somewhat of
a nuisance, if not menace, to the
neighborhood have become the depend
able allies and friends of the play
ground, and have assumed a new atti-
tude toward the community. At Ka-
mamalu playground mothers in the
neighborhood comment on the benefit
