What's the matter with the mosquito brigade?
Honolulu is suffering more from the singing
plaques of night than at any other time in the
last five years.
Almost every district, hill, midland and lowland,
reports swarms and clouds of the pestiferous in
.sects, ranging in size from the common or garden
variety of grasshopper up to those with a wing
spread of two feet. Don't laugh, folks. This has
gone beyond joke. 1t is time for the board of
health and its annmosquito cohorts to get busy and
reduce the casualties.

young man of the city is dead from injuries receiv

sorrow of his family and regret of his friends will
not bring back the life that is gone but the tragedy
should serve as an eloquent warning against heed
less driving. Honolulu has had a long record OF
terrible auto smasbups in recent years. Until reck
less driving is eliminated, the roll of death will
grow.

AS PRECAUTION
Likely They Will Insure
Place on Ballot Prior to
Convention
LEAGUE FEATURES
ARE UNCERTAIN
Question If They Can Be
Withdrawn After Fill
ing Of Petitions

Republicans candidates for congress,
some of them unwilling to risk the
possibility of being left off the ballot
IL they fail to file nomination petitions
as required under the opinion recently
given out by the attorney general, and
under which Secretary of State Hall
will operate in certifying candidates to
the various counties, may circulate
petitions and then submit their candi-
dacies to the district convention that
convenes in Grand Forks, June 20.
There still is some uncertainty as to
the legal objections that may exist
against the dropping of a name from
the ballot after nominating petition
has been filed.
If it is found that candidates have
the right to withdraw even after a
petition is filed, 1t is quite likely that
the plan outlined will be adopted.
Men who expect to submit their
candidates. to the convention are now
engaged in correspondence on the
problem, and it is quite likely that
they will act in concert.
: BY the adoption of the proposed plan,
1t is pointed out that the candidates
would not be risking the chance Of get
ting on the ballot.

Berlin Newspaper Claims
Teutons are Fighting
Defensive War
WANTS GUARANTEE
OF PROTECTION
Replies To Recent State
ments by Lord Cecil and
Former Premier
fRY Aasociarad Prasa.N

Amsterdam, via London, May 81
The declaration is made by the semi
official Norddeutsche Allgemeine Eel
tung Of Berlin that Germany desires
no extension OF territory for the pur-
pose of ACKNOWLEDGMENT or of polit-
ical or economic accretion OF power.
Germany wishes solely to defend her
own territory against foreign plans OF
conquest, the newspaper says, and
moreover demands such guarantees as
will serve for the purpose of her fu-
ture defense and self-protection.
These statements are made in COM
ment on the recent speeches by Lord
Robert Cecil, British minister of
blockade, and II. II. Asquith. former
British premier. The newspaper says
that apart from the imputations in Mr..
Asquith'R speech the principle coin
cides with those held in responsible
German quarters both formerly and
during the present war.
Lord Robert Cecil said in the house
of commons on May Is that England
could not commit herself to a policy OF
returning German colonies and Turk
ish provinces in which the nations had
been mistreated and asked whether
such a policy should be adopted in the
cases of Poland, Alsace-Lorraine and
Italia Irredenta- He said Germany
should make reparation for despoiling
Belgium, Serbia and northern France.
Mr.. Asquith said that IL the war were
to end in an honorable peace there
must be annexation and the emanct-
patton of populations laboring under
despotisn and that the retention OF
strategic positions as safeguards
against future acts might be necessary.

At Once
lRv Associated Prann.l

st. Paul, May 31.-Secretarys of In
terror Lane in telegram today to
Governor Burnquist gave assurances
there will be no fuel shortage in the
northwest. The message was in reply
to an appeal by the governor who be-
came alarmed after conferring with
Duluth men on the coal supply situa-
ton.
we have been looking into this sit
uation with much concern and / be-
lieve you will find at the end of the
season there will be no delinquency in
the northwest" said the secretary.
''The worst thing that can happen now
is to become alarmed in regard to rush
orders and to start boarding. The coal
cars at Lake Erie ports have been
pooled, which will allow greater expe-
dition. OF course we have no means
OF extending the amount Of tonnage on
the lakes. This matter will be given
constant attention.
State warehouse officials advise con-
sumers to place orders at once so as to
avoid congestion at the docks when
the coal is available.

Amsterdam via London, May 31.-
DR.. g. A. Gross, leader OF the German
National league, has been elected presi-
dent of the lower house of the Austrian
parliament according to a Vienna dis
patch. In his opening address he urged
the house to see to it that enemy ex-
pectations OF great dissension in
parliament should remain unfulhlled.
I'VE are one in our unshakable
determination" he said. ito obtain the
greatly desired honorable peace"
Commenting on the meeting, The
Tageblatt OF Berlin says divergences
OF opinion were marked especially be-
tween the Germans and the Czechs
and that the Austrian government had
done nothing to improve this situa-
ton.
It continues: "The fact is that the
government appears before the house
without a majority behind 1t and the
government may easily find itself in
the minority"
Various successors to Count Clam

toned.

WILL TAX BEVERAGES
Coffee, Tea, and Cocoa Must Yield
Revenue Of $4,000, 600.
, (Rv Assoeiated Press. )

Washington, May 31.-The senate
finance committee decided to insert in
the war tax bill a provision to raise
$4,000, 900 by consumption taxes of
two cents pound on coffee. five cents
on tea, one-half cent on sugar, three
cents on cocoa. Another important
change agreed upon was the elimina-
tion Of the present tax of twelve and
one half per cent on war munitions,
now raising $25,O00.000.
The decision to abolish the present
munitions tax was said to be due most
III to imposition or increased excess
profits in all corporations which will
reach the munitions makers.
Another provision adopted today by
the committee would exempt from tax
alcohol, reclaimed by refining beer and
reducing its alcoholic contents in the
making Of near beer when such al
cohol becomes denatured for CONNER
cial purposes.

LEAGUERS CALL
CONVENTION In

and Delegates"
To Make Up Meeting
In City
TOWNLEY ISSUES
CALL FOR SESSION
Evident Abandonment of
First Announced Policy
of the Nonpartisans

Nonpartisan league members of the
state legislature and delegates from the
counties within the First congressional
district who made up the state con-
vention of last spring, when the Nom
partisan state ticket was selected, will
hold convention in Fargo Friday, at
the call of President A, G. Townley, to
consider steps in connection with the
congressional vacancy that exists in
the First congressional district.
Abandonment Of the policy that
President Townley outlined shortly
after the death of the late H. T. Hell
gesen, when he declared that the
league would not become involved in
federal issues, is probable.
important Business" Billed.
President Townley's call, according
to Howard Wood, speaker Of the house,
refers to important business as corn
ing before the Friday conference, no
mention being made in the call of the
congressional issue.
THE purpose of the conference 10 to
consider whether or no the Nonpartisan
league will take a hand in the con-
gressional ISSUE" said Mr.. Wood to
The Forum this afternoon.
Candidates Considered.
Today 1t was generally understood
that H. A. Bronson. assistant attorney
tenders for the Nonpartisan endorse
ment. Charles Drown. state senator,
also seeks the leagues endorsement,
and may run irrespective OF action
that is taken here.
Likewise. Mr.. Drown, who is a DEM
ocrat, is expected to ignore the action
Of the Democrats at Grand Forks, just
as H. III. Aaker, Grand Forks, has de-
clared his intention Of ignoring the
Republican convention.
Plan Of Nomination Uncertain.
It was not known today just what
plan of nomination the Nonpartisans
would adopt, but 1t is quite likely that
a general meeting Of the legislators
and the delegates will be held, or that
the nominating power will be given to
the delegates only, on the theory that
they were originally selected to nomin-
ate candidates. That was their busi-
ness in the convention of 1916. and it
is likely to continue their business in
the session here.

Henry Unzen, arrested by the police

Learning of the large number. Of
sales of illegal liquor made in that
section, of the city OF late, Chief Of
Police Dahlgren directed the move
shortly after 10 o'clock Wednesday
night. He did not cut telephone wires
or hold UP the service In the city as

Early Wednesday morning, the po-
lice got wind Of q shipment OF liquor
to the Unzen place on Front street.
This shipment, is said by the po--
whiskey. During the day Unzen sold
several bottles. When the police en-
tered the home two men were taken
and held as witnesses Ito appear
against the prisoner. The hearing
will be held before Judge

Unzen is married, with a family Of

Liquor In Rear Room.
The liquor and the beer found In
the rear room were taken to the sta
ton. Unzen claims to be a chiroprac-
tor who has met with a little bad luck
In Minnesota. Liquor sales In North
Dakota would soon give him enough
money to start practicing in Moor
head, he thought, so he took a chance
at winning or losing, with the result
turning against him.
