DETAILS MAWA
SWITCH UNKNOWN

No detailc of the intention to place
the Manoa On the San FranciRCo-Ma.
Mia run on her next voyage from. San
Francisco had been received from
Capt William Matson this morning by
E. D. Tenney, president Of Cas1le &
Cooke, the local MatsOn agents. The
only letter received from Capt. Mat
son stated that he was considering an
offer to place the Manoa in the Manila
service. Subsequent to the time this
letter was written, Capt MatsOn sent
Mr.. Tenney cablegram announcing
that the ManOa was to be withdrawn
from the Honolulu schedule for two
and a half months and sent to Manila
for two voyages.
An Associated Press despatch re-
ceived by the Star Bulletin from San
Francisco yesterday afternoon stated
that this change in The MatsOn ser
vice was to be MADE, and that the
change would be a permanent one III
it pays" The cablesram said the our,
pose of the inten0ed MatsOn service
was to relieve freIgnt congestion at
Manila.
Whether the Manoa will carry pas
sengers between San Francisco, Homo
lulu and Manila is unknown here, hut
her passenger carrying license would
permit her to do so, as long as her
cargo did not consist OF explosives.
What her cargo will be on the outward
and inward voyages to Manila is also
unknown Neither is it known whether
the Luriine or another Mat3On liner
will take the place of the Manoa on
the Honolulu run SO the present week
ly passenger and mail schedule be-
tween Honolulu and San francisco
can be maintained.
Full information concerning the new
Matson service and the branc ling out
of the company into a larger field is
expected to be received from Cart.
Matson on the next mail from the
coast
It is estimated that the Manoa can
make the Manila run in 81 steaming
days. AS she can carry fuel suffi-
cient for a vo:age from 50 to 90 days,
il is asserted that she can make the
round trip to Manila from San Fran
cisco without taking ON fuel cargo.

c. F. Stewart of South and King
streets is anxious to secure banana
palms. In a conversation yesterday

the machine running to capacity. He
requests all who have banana palms to
telephone him at 114S, and he will
send a man to cut the palms and haul
them away He is hopeful of being
able to secure enough palms to make

WAR ORDERS INCREASE
JAPAN'S PROSPERITY

Figures compiled by the Osaka
Chamber of Commerce show that
workers in Japan are benefiting
through the increased prosperity
brought by war orders. In order to
fill contracts manufa Cturers have
been compelled to compete for labor
ers with the result that in many lines
of work there has been a great in
crease in wages A great increase in
postal savings in Japan is attributed
to this greater prosperity of the la
borers.
