Somewhere in France" the Amer

ing the first contingent of the vast
army of 100000 that the United
States proposes to provide for the fir
ing line sailed away several months
ago to commence the preparatory
work of waging war against the Hun.
General Pershing and the American
troops arriving in France is the theme
of the premier photoplay at the Ha-
waii theater, photoplay without plot
to produce thrills but one that pro-
duces thrills nevertheless. No one can
witness a run of this film and rea-
lie that the unconscious actors are
the advance guard of Americas quota
in the great world war but will be
atingie with thrills. Applause, loud
and long greets this offering at each
performance. Owing to the length OF
the program there is but one per-
Torrance, each evening, with a daily
matinee that is drawing an attendance
well above the average. .~: H.
The regular Fox feature, The
Primitive CALL" featuring Gladys CO.
burn, would be a big show in itself.
Added to the Pershing picture the
Hawaii is presenting one of it's ban'

EfIt's a Shame Your Architec-
ture is So JumbIed," Says
Trade Journal Owner

That there is no place in the world
quite so beautiful as Honolulu and the
island of Oahu. is the belief of Mrs.
E. NJ. c. Whitney of San Francisco,
owner Of The Architect and Engineer
of California" who has arrived in this
city. Mrs. Whitney, who is sole own
er and manager of the magazine,
which is published monthly, and IL
devoted exclusively to technical qnes-
lions regarding construction and en-.
cheering and architecture, came to
Honolulu for short vacation. She
is accompanied by Mrs. Lendel Grey,
Of Redwood City.
Il am going back to San Francisco
next week." said Mrs. Whitney" and
my stay here Is going to be altogether
too short. ! think the beauty spots
of Honolulu are the most wonderful In
the world. 4 really can't comprehend
all this amazing scenery"
The magazine owner hopes to in

land. 2 &. 49,.

recently in the plans of this city To
have huge business block unit so as
TO conform to a single style of archi.
lecture peculiar to these islands.
think 1t shame that your style here
is so jumbled. A set of plans drawn
exclusively for Honolulu would work
wonders in the appearance Of your
business section" +.
Mrs. Whitney commented on the
fact that Louis Mullgardt, who was in
this city several, months ago, and who
made plans for a number of local
business buildings, is a contributor to
her publication. 81 hope Mr.. Null.
gardt returns to this city and makes
plans for your construction work,
said Mrs. whitney, 81 think he is one
of the foremost architects in
America" .r
Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Grey will

IMPROVEMENTS
GET ATTENTION
in new BUDGET
Continued from page oner

Continued from page one)~
for spending purposes for the first
six months was set at $36S.777.34, but
of this $189, $500 has already been
spent, which leaves only $17S,902.34
for the budget of the next three
months The difference between the
amount spent in the past three months
and the amount remaining for the next
three months is S10,970.60. The board
started out with a balance of only
$4,000 for road work and that has
been wiped out, so that in the new
budget it would appear that there
must be provision made for the item,
but as the board is facing shortage
of $10,970.60 to make up total re-
quired for the budget in the next three
months, the road work will suffer to
the extent of the shortage.
you must not gather that there
will be no road work DONE" said E. A.
Mott-Smith, chairman of the, finance
committee, today, "but the mount will
have to be small in comparison with
what has been done during these three
months"
The pruning of Expenditures to keep
within the estimated income will also
be extended to the incidental items OF
various departments and saving is
hoped to be effected there.
A report on how the budget for the
last three months has worked out is
being made up at present by the
auditors department and will be pre-
scented by the chairman of the finance
committee to the meeting of the board
of supervisors next Tuesday night.
With the beginning of the new year
and the increased income for the city
and county, Supervisor A. E. Mott
Smith is confident that great many
projects which have been simmering
in the pot will be taken up seriously.
The city and county garage idea and
the city aud county hospital plan will
be discussed with view to action be
ing taken. Money for road work and
improvements of various kinds will be
on hand and in fact lit should be a
dandy year for general civic progress
as Supervisor Mott-Smith puts it.

ORGANIZATION OF
LOCAL EXEMPTION
BOARDS FINISHED

George R. Carter, former governor
Of Hawaii, who is to leave next week
for New York on an indetermlnate
stay. has resigned from the local
board of exemptions in his district.
Gov. Pinkham will recommend sue
cessor by cable to Washington at
once, it was stated today. George F.
Renton has been named chairman OF
this board whose district corresponds
to the fifth representative district.
This completes the organization OF
both Honolulu boards. -:
Clerks at the draft headquarters in
the senate chamber were on their
knees today over huge pile of reg
istration cards; shutting them apart
to break mp the numerical and alpha
betieal series in which they have been
kept up to this time This is to al
low for absolute fairness in the num-
bering process. In addition to this
another mixing will be made from this
newly assorted pile before the actual
draft takes place. : H..
Numbering machines to place the
final red ink numbers on the cards
of the six districts will be furnished
by the Chamber of Commerce and this
work will be commenced as soon as
the machines arrive. A start will be
made on the islands which are al
ready complete in returns. ~.

EXPECT MAUI And
,MATSON|A ODE
TAKEN in Spring

Communicating of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific by the gov
eminent is locally expected to be fol-
lowed by the taking over OF the Mat
sonia and Maui of the Matson line.
But it is not believed that this action
will be taken Immediately, and prob
ably not until next spring, OR at least
not until the national shipping board
has made arrangements for the plac-
ing of smaller vessels in the Homo
lulu service. H.. ~. !.
1t is believed probable that some of
the former German ships now in the
Philippines, may be secured to oper-
ate between San Francisco and Homo
lulu, which are not adaptable as army
transports. For transports only, the
speedier vessels will be desired by
the government, it is argued, as these
are the ones most successful In dodg-
ing and evading submarines.
While the twin liners, Great North
ern and Northern Pacific, have speed
they will have to undergo considerable
alterations to make excellent troop
ships. This is because their cargo
carrying capacity is limited. The At
lantic transports are required to carry
fuel enough for the round trip when
crossing to France.
SEEING the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific by the government
came as the sequel to two contradic-
tory reports received earlier in the
week. One report stated officials OF
the Great Northern Steamship Co. had
been assured the two ships were not
to be taken by the government and
that plans we're being made to place
the Great Northern on the Honolulu
run. On the same day this report
was cabled from San Francisco, it was
contradfcted by another despatch
which said the vessels were to be
Communicated. ."s.
The despatch received late yester-
day afternoon was without qualifica.
ton, and it is considered the final
word regarding the intention of the
government to use these ships for
transports.
Some shipping men declare that the
communicating of the two vessels
will be a matter of satisfaction to
the Great Northern company, as Meth.
er of them are constructed so as to
give good service and returns in the
Pacific coast trade The company
wanted the government to take over
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific" said one Honolulu shipping
man this morning. -. .~.. 49,.

WESTERN DRAMA
7. AT THELIBERTY

"The Lonesome Chap film at the
Liberty theater is a Pallas-Paramount,
featuring Louise Huff and House Pc
tiers. A statement of these facts
should be sufficient to pack the big
Nuuanu street theater with the Lib
erty clientele, for the reason that
there appears to be a particular care
taken in their production.
Both Louise Huff and House Peters
are fayorite film stars wherever Pal
as-Paramount pictures are known. In
Honolulu they are most fayorably
known to the silent drama. -.
The story of The Lonesome Chap"
is laid in the popular site for photo
drama, Western, mining camp 1t
is a story teeming with love, adven-
ture and excitement. There is pic
tured one scene, an accident, that will
long live in the memory of all who
witness it. So realistic is this scene
as to appear to have been an actual
accident rather than a prearranged
scene for the camera.
