this stock proved a mystery to most
of the local investors and the talk on

however. explain the rise in several
ways. pne reason given being that
the incoming boats from the other
islands brought several buyers and the
other that the stock was merely max

SEARCH FOR CREW
OF WRECMDTHOR.
PROVES futile.

That every effort was made by the
patrol ship which was sent to look for
the missing boatioad of survivors from
the foundered ship Thor was the state
ment made in the report OF the patrol
ships captain today. The patrol ship
was notified Nov. q to be ON the look

yiFers. The captain, purser and chief
engineer and fifteen of the crew were
picked up in an open boat by the Nip
pom Yusen KaiSha liner Tsuyama
Maru, bonnd from Seattle to Nagasaki,
Japan. These survivors will probably
be landed at some Japanese port.
The rescaing liner wirelessed the
patrol ship, which Immediately
cruised around on the watch for the
second boatload of fifteen men, but
failed TO find any trace of it. The
boats containing the crew were out
three days. The last seen of. the sec
ond boatload was on the morning of
Nov. 30. -
The following is the report made by
the captain of the patrol ship:
Having received a wireless mes.
sage about the shipwreck, we fastened
to the scene, then located and con-
ferred by wireless with the steamer
which rescued one boat with fifteen
of the Thor's crew. which vessel
proved to be Japanese liner bound
for the Orient. =
The Thor foundered in storm, fiji.
ing with water in a position north
latitude 81, longitude l61 west. On
the morning of Nov. Is the crew, con-
sisting OF, thirty in number, divided
into two boats headed for Honolulu.
One boat, containing the captain,
chief engineer and purser, was picked
up by the aforementioned liner on the
morning of Nov. q in north latitude
81, longitude 100 west. As to the
second boat, q message was received
by the patrol ship stating that it had
been seen floating until the day before
the receipt Of the message, which was:
received by wireless about 9 o'clock b.
M, Nov. 81 whereupon the captain of
the patrol ship Instituted search fer
the remaining boat and steamed for
the position OF the aforesaid place,
leaving its position at that time on
the morning Of the 22nd, making a
thorough search until p. m. on the
24th. reaching north latitude 1890,
but failed to find the boat. The pa
troll ship accordingly turned the CON-
pass for Honolulu, still keeping a.
sharp lookout for the missing boat" 8 8
The captain of the patrol ship re.
grets exceedingly that their efforts

FATHERLAND'S FAILURE
ADMITTED IN GERMANY
Chief of Supplementary Staff
Declares Military Power
Overestimated.

ZURICH. Switzerland. Sept. 19.--
General Baron Won F'reytag -Loring'
hover. chief OF the supplementary gem
eral staff OF the German army, has
published n pamphlet entitled "The
Results OF the World War" in whicn
he says:
THE general political and economi-
cal situation of the world works only
In favor of our enemies and the Ger
man soldiers will be defrauded of the
fruits of their victories"
The general thinks that trench war
rare was a great mistake and says that
only an aggressive attack could have
brought success. He adds. however
that the German offensive was not
strong enough to overthrow the allies.
The Post of Munich expresses the
hope that the reasonableness of the
generals utterances will teach the
Pan-Germans who would fight TO
conquer the whole world with their
mouths" to estimate correctly the
limitations OF Germany's militia, )
power. The Post continues:
our world economic position must
be changed completely by a new at-
ministratfon of our foreign policy
based on democratic principles. There
fore we do not require a strong peac.
against the east and the west which
would bring us into opposition with
all the great powers. but "A far-sighted
and lasting peace by agreement"
