HAWAII FIRE GODDESS
PREDICTS L. 5. VICTORY

San Francisco, June 9.-Pele, the
fire goddess of Hawaii lis enraged
and natives see in that fact the de-
feat of the Germans, according to
passengers arriving in California
port from Honolulu.
The natives legend is that wheney-
er Kilauet volcano erupts the fire
goddess is angry and is hurting
death and destruction upon the enc
mics of the island. And as Hawaii
is proudly American and Americas
enemies are the enemies OF the pic
turesque Kantkas, they see in the
present eruption more trouble for the
Teuton hosts.
