DO You Know That,-

Peace hath her health problems no
less than war?
Constant vigilance Is the price Of
freedom from flies?
The physical vigor Of It's citizens
is the nations greatest asset?
1dleness is the thief of health?
Infected towels spread eye dis
eases?
Half the blindness in the world
could have been lrevented by prompt
and proper care?

the silent hope that our brothers will
not give way. Who will be the
stronger? That hail of iron and
steel, or that living wall of brave
and faithful men, whose bodies stand
between the enemy and the Father
land?
For twenty hours this thunder
continues; then there is a sudden
pause. For the present the battle is
over.
Now our work begins. For hours
the god Of war has ragged there at the
front. Hate and bitterness and death
have had their sway; now begins the
work Of love, Of ministration and
healing
THE numerous dead are beyond all
help. Where they battled and fought
they will find their graves, but where
there Is spark of life left. where
there is the least chance of hope, all
the skill Of the doctor and surgeon
will come into play. Automobile
truck after automobile truck, bear
ing the wounded, comes from the
front. Pale, limp, their faces be-
spattered with blood, the trucks are
crowded with wounded men. Some
have been bandaged hurriedly on
the firing line to stay the flow of
blood.
Carefully the wounded are placed
on stretchers and carried to the ope-
rating rooms. Not one of the men
utters a word Of complaint, even
though their faces show the pain
they are undergoing. Not one asks
to be minister to first; all are patient
and silently await their turn. The
doctors with keen eyes quickly select
those who require attention at once.
Often few seconds will save a life,
and these doctors at the front, of
whose great work the public knows
but little, never waste a second.
This Is the time when medical
skill counts. Many mother who
after the war will enfold her son in
her arms can thank the silent, faith
full work Of the surgeon for this
blessing.
No Rest for Surgeons.
"While the battle of the Somme
ragged there never was any rest for
the surgeon. While the guns thun-
dered it simply meant that ho must
work earnestly and quickly, for soon
more wounded men would be brought
in. Often a shell would disturb the
electric lighting system, and it was
then necessary to work with the light
| of an acetylene lamp or even a can
die.
II do not care to say much about
the horrors of the operating room.
TO go into details would only cause
| pain, and surely this war has caused
enough pain. 1t was heart-rending to
see the legs and arms of strong,
healthy men amputated who only a
short time before were in fine, robust
health and spirits. The British are
using gas bombs very freely in their
assaults, and hundreds OF men suf-
| ferlng from gas poisoning have also
to be treated Among the wounded
are all kinds and conditions Of men
from the ordinary peasant to the col
lege professor. 1t is a great relief
for the surgeons when, after hard
| nights work, all the wounded have
been tenderly cared for, and they can
snatch few moments rest. And yet
it is hard when they rise from only a
few hours rest to be again called to
the operating room"

Registration returns came in slow

great military census, preventing
anything approaching a conclusive
estiamte as to the number of men ac-
tually enrolled. An official statement
to-day, however, said such complete
! returns as were at hand indicated
that the 100000 estimate of the
census bureau for the total number
of men within the prescribed ages
would not be equaled.
A feature Of the few complete re-
turns Is the high percentage of indi-
Gated exemptions, averaging approxi-
mately 80 per cent of the total regis
tration. Officials pointed out that
this did not mean actual exemptions,
as the indicated figures included all
married men and those in executive,
Judicial or legislative office. Until
exemption regulations have been bro
mulgated, it will be impossible to say
how many Of these will be included
IN those to be marked off the MILL
I'tary rolls. In regard to the married
men, Secretary Baker said to-day that
In all the letters he had received on

The Secretary, who was out Of the
city on the night Of June 9Th and
yesterday. returning this morning,

registration. He expressed his appre-
citation of the work done by the Pro-
vost Marshal Gen. Crowder and by
State and municipal officers, declar-

demonstration" of the solidarity of
the American people and Of their
high patriotism, of which the enroll

himself, he said, he had never doubt

would be what it was.

regulations and appointment of ex-
emption boards. the Secretary said,
will precede the issuance OF regula-
tions to govern the selection of men
for examination. Exemption boards
probably will be localized as much as
possible TO make it easy for selected
men to get to the place Of examina-
ton without interfering any more

Seven Things to DO This Week.
lPrOgreSsiYe Farmer.O

Progressive Farmer.)
l. After the dry spring we have
had, June and July may be wet. Pre-
pare for this by seeing to it that all
bitches and drains are open and free
from all distractions, so that they
may do their duty.
2. Likewise, go over all terraces,
strengthening the low, weak places
against future foods.
3. The farm woman has a right to
plenty OF flowers and green lawns;
help your wife in her efforts to have
these.
d. If you have not screened against
flies and mosquitoes, do SO at once.
Attention to this may save doctors
bills.
s. Plan an occasional fishing and
picnic party: Such outings send us
back to our jobs refreshed and invig-
GRATED.
o. Keep up successive paintings Of
grazing crops for the hogs, particu-
iarly peas, beans and peanuts. We
must reed our hogs on something
othcr than two-dollar corn.
T. The biggest job now in making
all OF our crops yield to the utmost is
10 give them the best of cultivation;
therefore keep the cultivators going,
K'lilng weeds and saving moisture.

FOUND UPON DESKS
IN SENATE TODAY
Measure Would Keep Liquor in
Hawaii, Limiting Places of
Sale; Authorship Not Known
When Members Assemble

Copies OF new liquor bill, distrib-
uted in the senate, have set the mem
bers Of the upper house TO wonder
ing as to the origin OF the measure

lulu.
The bill, entitled IAN act to regu.
late the sale OF intoxicating liquors
i'm the territory OF Hawaii, and to re.

entity in a study OF the bill, as fol.
lows:

five for bar licenses, five for hotels
and five for restaurants.
2. The mayor OF Honolulu and the
chairmen OF other boards of superyis-
ors shall have the power to recon-
mend the granting or issuing Of the

70 guests.

retail shall be issued by the diff.
ferent boards OF license commission
ers.
%'It is the intention of this act to re-
strict the number Of licenses to sell

ure, shall be construed so that no

ritory to cell liquor ID any bar by

GERMAN EFFORT
IN MEXICOSEEN
TWO Weeks since
Assertion Was Published That
TeutonS Would Strike at
U. S. From South

Assertions that Germany aimed a
blow at the United States through
Mexico we're made more than two
weeks in advance of the publication
of the details of the German plot to
bring about a war between the United
States and Mexico and Japan. Such
assertions we're made in the Provi-
dence, r. l., Journal, which did not,
however. intimate that efforts were
being made to involve Japan in the
conspiracy.
On Friday, February 9. there was
published in the Providence Journal
the following news article relative to
the activities of Germany and Ger
mans in Mexican affairs and the sup
plying of officers and munitions:
e"Tf Germany succeeds in dragging
the United States into war her first
blow against this country will be
struck through Mexico. For two
weeks the German ambassador work

the United States as well as those Of

lars and reservists, from American
ports and railroad centers to Mexico

future activities will await them.

that large number Of German army

GOOD ROAD PLANS

Members of the Honolulu Automo-
bile Club, at meeting held today at
noon, Endorsed the plan of taxation Of
not less than IL mills on the dollar
for good roads in the city and county.
This would bring in S350,000, based
on a. valuation of 100000.
Supervisor Charles Arnold in a talk
on the road question suggested that
the AID Club go on record as fayoring
a plan to tax 1885 mills on dollar.
He went into the subject of good
reads thoroughly and suggested that
this plan be adopted, giving basis TO
work on for good roads.
. Judge Clarence Ashford made a
motion that the tax rate which should
be expended for good roads only
should be not less than 31-2 mills.
James McCandless seconded this mo-
ton, aud when called to vote was
carried. President Wallace r. Far.

dlticns and said that Honolulu need.
