some CONFUSION
Kauai Man Explains Why Re-
cent Homestead Selections
Lacked Interest

Another explanation for the alleged
lack of interest in the recent Kappa
homestead selections has been fur.
nished the Star-BulIetin in a letter
from a Lihne resident. He writes as
follows:
'.Lihue, Kauai, Nov. IL, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Gentlemen:
II notice in one of your editions or
recent date that at the recent selec-
ton Of the Kappa homesteads, the APP
plicants did not show the interest in
the matter that they should. In that so
few showed up at said meeting and
that the entire list of 7S8 names had
to be gone through (for only Sc allot-
ments, 70 lots1 and that there still
remained 10 lots to be taken at the
closing.
In this connection will say that
the reason why so many more APP
plicants did not show up at the selec-
ton of said lots was the fact that they
had been previously advised as having
been rejected for the reason that both
they and their wives had taken part
in said drawing they having done 50
without having previously been adj
vised by anyone TO the contrary and
that their wives we're also rejected for
the same reason
Il will add that now see in the adj
yertisement of the next drawing to
the homesteads on Maui, that due care
is being taken to have this point made
clear to the public-that of either wife
or husband being able to apply, but
not both at the same drawing.
Yours very sincerely,
PROSPECTIVE HOMESTEADER.

OF SHANNON AND LARSEN
Two of the school boards $4,000
a-year men are in Springfield lobby
ing for changes in the teachers pen
sion fund law The action they are
asking legislators to take has not
been passed on. by the school board.
They are lobbying for personal
reasons or. unknown special inter
ests. They have no instructions
from the school board to officially do
what they are doing. The two men
are Angus Roy Shannon, atty for
the board, and Lewis E. Larsen, sec
rotary.
This is the gist of criticism made
by Margaret Haley, business repre-
sentative Teachers Federation. The
changes asked by Shannon and Lar
sen would increase the school
boards representatives on the teach
ers' pension board from three mem
bers to six while the teachers repre-
sentatives would be decreased from
six to three. The latter are elected
by the balloting of the 5000 public
school teachers.
Shannon and Larsen make no
claim that pension matters are run
ineficientIy. All they insist on is
that control of teachers pensions,
with a reserve fund close to $4,000
600, be taken away from the teach
eTs and put in the hands of the
school board.
Ralph c. Otis and Charles Peter
son, school board members, told Chi
cagO Real Estate Board Thursday
that the city council should be
stripped Of power over school lands.
Otis urged the sale of 28O acres of
school land in Austin, $40 acres at
Clearing, 60 acres in the 33d ward,
40 acres on Stony Island av and
other land at Clearing would bring
500 cash per acre, it is estimated. 1t

Spain is one of the largest of the
few remaining nations to profess
neutrality, but how long she will
continue in this course remains in
doubt. The ministry of Count de
Romanones has been overthrow and
one distinctly pro-German has been set
up under the leadership of one NJ.
Pietro. Count de Romanones declares
that he stepped down because he be-
lieved his nation should take stand
with France against Germany. particu-
larly in view of the continued sinkings
of Spanish merchant vessels. The Span
ish government has protested to Bernn
and Germany has agreed to enter into
negotiation. according to dispatches
which hive been received from abroad.
This, however, may prove but pap to
Spanish vanity. for IL Germany enters
into negotiations with Spain on the
submarine question there is every rea-
SON to believe that these will be pro-
longed over a period which will exce>i
the length of the war. On the other
hand q sentiment seems to be growing
in Madrid that Count de Romanones
should be reinstated and the 'kaiser's
cabinet" forced to step down. The re-
of power by Romanones un-
would be followed by steps
leading to alignment OF the nation with
the entente.

That the British and French are sue

two weeks. 1t Is believed certain that
the Germans have lost an equally large
number of men in dead, seriously

more consistent and more bitter than
that along the French front, if such a

For some weeks there have been
heard many reports that the Germans
would make drive on the Slavs along
that section of the eastern front in the
immediate vicinity of Riga and Dvinsk.
Bad weather conditions apparently
made the Russian positions secure, but
that the Germans merely awaited

it may be some point in the Gulf OF

the lines of communication between
the capital and the Russian front. The
rumored German plan is decidedly
spectacular. and is bound to form
stiff problem for the new Russian gov

Russian armies is far from completed.
According to War Minister Guchkof. the
Slavic cause is further imperiled by the
widespread assertions in the armies,
the direct result of propaganda ltera
ture dropped into Russian lines by the
Germans The assertions are declared
mainly due to the spread of a report
that there is to be a land distribution
in Russia and that the soldiers must
be present at home to obtain their
share. Officers have failed to convince
the peasant soldiers that there is abso-
lutely no truth in the reports. and as
consequence the situation is really
serious
That the Russian armies are in bad
condition is indicated by Russian Off
cals, who declare that all fighting units
have been sadly lacking in food and
munitions 1t is not to be expected that
the new government has completely
remedied chaotic conditions fostered by
the overthrown monarchy, but some
strides have been made, and should
the Germans not strike at the Russians
