"My boy died as an American sailor,

an n&Advertiser reporter shortly before
midnight that his son, Julian r, Ma
comber, was among the five Hawaiian
boys who were listed as among the
victims of the murderous sinking of the
American steamer Aztez by German
submarine.
"My boy was home for visit last
July" said Mr.. Macomber, and / told
him that ii he went back into Atlantic
waters, he was liable to lose his life.
But he told me that he was an Ameri-
can sailor and was not afraid to go
anywhere. II can die but once,' he
told me, 'and must die some time. i
don u intend to be scared out by Ger:
man submarine or anything else. I'm
a Hawaiian and an American sailor. i"
- The MaeOmber home, at the corner
of Lunalilo and Iiholiho Streets, was
the scene of musical event when the
news was brought that the son of the
house was among the heroic American
dead. Mr.. Macombery the father, re-

the information the father had re-
