PUCK
SAFE IN HARBOR

The launching postponed because OF
bad weather, it's name selected BE-
cause it would bring good luck, and
after launching to run afonl OF the
reefs off Kewalo harbor is the record
of the first island-built schooner,
Puck. The schooner was launched
yesterday and headed majestically out
to sea, only to be thrown against the
reefs and lodged there, where the
strong southerly winds pounded her
throughout the night. At 9 o'clock
this morning, however, two OF Young
Brothers tugs succeeded in pulling
the schooner off the reefs, and towed
her into the harbor, where she was
berthed near the railroad wharf. She
will remain there until her boilers ar
rive from the coast.
The Puck sailed out from her
launching place yesterday and at
tempted to pass through the Kewaio
harbor channel, only to be thrown
over on her starboard side by the
heavyCsoutherly winds. Tugs came to
her rescue but failed to pull her off
the coral. 1t was feared that the
heavy seas last night would pound the
little boat to pieces, but when day
light dawned the schooner was still
standing up against the heavy waves
and wind. Another tug was rushed to
her aid this morning, and finally sue
ceeded In pulling the Puck off the
reef

GERMANS BARRED
FROM WATERFRONT,
ON BOARD SHIPS
Alien Enemies Employed in
Government Offices Will
Have to Go

Advices received in Honolulu from
Washington point out that under the
proclamation recently issued by Presl-
dent Wilson, the provisions OF which
are to be enforced by the department
OF justice and its agents, no alien
enemy will be allowed to enter or re-
main within the following restricted
places
!. Piers along the ocean front or
waterfront where a 500-ton vessel may
anchor.
2. On board any ship at sea, within
three miles Of land.
3. In the Panama Canal zone.
4. In the District OF Columbia.
This means just what President VIII
sons proclamation reads - that no
alien enemy, man or youth over IA
years old, not a naturalized American,
will be permitted to live in these re-
stricted areas. First naturalization
papers will not do; second papers
must have been taken out before male
citizens of any enemy country are
safe.
Authority to enforce these provi-
sious Of the proclamation in Hawaii
have not yet been received by I. >.
Attorney S. c. Huber, although it is
expected that it will reach him in
the near future, unless, as federal Of
ficials have already pointed out, ter
ritories are not to be included within
the scope Of the proclamation.
The second Of the restricted places
has already been observed by the
Inter-IsIand Steam Navigation Co.,
which has announced that hereafter
no German alien may travel on its
ships without a permit signed by the
President, and without a special traV-
cling permit issued by the local L. S.
district attorney. 1t has also an
nounced that other persons must
satisfy the company that they are not
alien enemies.
There will be no exceptions to the
ultimate enforcement of the regula-
tons being drawn up by Attorney
General Gregory. Even alien enemy
clerks, experts, skilled architects,
draughtsmen or what not working in
the United States government offices,
will not be allowed to remain.
As the proclamation, by its terms,
excludes women, an alien enemy's
family will have plenty Of time to
make a change of address. Or they
may remain in the restricted zones
themselves.

May Increase Fee
For Dog Licenses

Hartford, Feb. 16-The subject Of
dogs held the attention of the commit
tee on agriculture Wednesday after
noon for almost three hours and when
the meeting finally adjourned, it was
practically agreed that dogs Of the
Tower class would have to be reg
ulated; that it was perfectly right
and proper for a man to kill dog
caught destroying property, haras-
sing or chasing domestic animals Of
any kind on his property; that the
license fee be doubled and that a
man allowing his dog to run at large
during the time between sunset and
sunrise be liable to fine and inn
prisonment.
Sheepgrowers of the state were
present during the session and each
took turn at condemning mischiev-
Gus dogs. According to one of thsee
sheepgrowers, it was the dog that
caused the decline in the sheep in
dustry in this state. It was brought
out that there are now seventy-four
licensed kennels in Connecticut and
the committee was urged to regulate
the rapidly increasing number Of
dogs in the Flower class 1t is
probable that the license fee for a
male dog will be made 81 and the
fee for licensing the female dog will
be increased to So

Norfolk Treasurer's
Shortage Amounts to
Twenty Five Thousand

Norfolk, Feb. 16.-Evidence is be-
SHINING to come to light to prove that
Philemon w. Johnson, missing town
treasurer and town librarian, who is
charged with embezzlement and forg-
cry and for whose arrest warrant
has been issued, was clever forger
and could sign other peoples names
so that at least two banks with
which johnson did business are liable
to lose thousands of dollars. John
son Is alleged to have forged the
name Of A. Burton Collar, junior
member Of the firm of Collar Broth
ers, to a promissory note for $4,000.
The names of other citizens are
known to have been signed for ST.
600 each. johnson, as trustee, had
charge Of upwards of $4,000 for Miss
Hattie Bradley Of Waterbury, and it
is reported that she stands to lose
nearly all of this money by John
sons sudden disappearance.
.Johnson's shortage as town treas
urer has not been made public, but it
is reported by Norfolk people that it
will be between $4,000 and $4,000.
The total amount Of his defalcations
may not be known for several weeks,
as the reports are coming in very
slowly.

British Slogan
'.'Save The Baby"
Invites To Drink

London, Feb. 1.-THE Strength of
Britain Movement" which is the Of
fetal title of the organization con-
Quoting the prohibition campaign, is
attacking Mr.. Prothero, the new
president of the Board Of Agricul-
ture in the Lloyd George cabinet. MI,
Protehero recently pointed out that
If the breweries were suppressed
farmers would suffer considerable
loss. because they were now making
valuable use of the residue of brew
cry grains as a food for cows.
The brewers seized upon Mr.. Pro-
ehero's words as an official defence
of their industry and with full page
advertisements they have been giving
widespread publicity to the slogan,
THE more beer breweG the greater
the supply Of milk After quoting
Mr.. Prothero's remark, the advertise
ments make it appear that the con-
triotic duty, since the more beer
brewed the more food there would
be for the cows, and the more food
there was for the cows the more
milk there would be for the babies.
Among the bibulously inclined, Lets

become a facetious equivalent for an
invitation to imbibe
The Strength of Britain Move
ment" has consequently attacked Mr..
Prothero in a big type display adj
vertisement. 1t says:
"The brewers do not make milk;
they destroy it and make it danger
GUS. The brewers quote Mr.. Pro-
there. but Mr.. Prothero is contradict
ed by his own department. If he
will look at No. 70 1eaflet OF the
Board of Agriculture he will find that
the brewers wet grain contains one
fifth Of the value of the barley, so
that the brewer robs the cattle Of
four-fifths. The good farmer does
not use brewers grains for cattle;
they are not allowed to be used for
the cows that yield milk and butter
for Copenhagen. and the authorities
on infant feeding tells us why. The
brewers grains make milk dangerous
for infants"
The advertisement further says:
\ "The War Savings Committee de-
c1ares that the use Of foodstuffs for
the drink trade has put up the price
Of food, and that the expenditure on
drink has wasted our national work
ing capacity at the rate Of 100000
900 pounds during the war. That
is equal to one-tenth of the cost of
the war. We have spent enough
money on drink during the war to
give two pounds a week for life to
every British home tat has lost a
breadwinner during the war"

THAT the gtorpedoplane will become

conventions which have anything to
do with the increase Of knowledge of
the arts, sciences and any education
al movements. The George Wash
ington Memorial Association has de-
termined that the next anniversary
of the father of his country could be
most fifty marked by the collection of
enough money to start the memorial
immediately.
A magnificent site for the building
has been donated to the Association
and is located at the corner of Sixth
street and Pennsylvania avenue, over
looking the loveliest park in Wash
ington, the Mall, which reaches from
the Capitol to. the White House.
Already 100000 has been donate
ed to the $1,000,000 needed for start
ing the erection Of the building.
In order that every patriotic Amer
lean may have the opportunity to aid
the project, contributions will be re-
ceived ranging from 10 cents upward,
and in the archives Of the association
there will be kept the names and ad-
dresses Of every one, man woman or
child, who gives dime or more to the
cause.
The Farmer, as an evidence Of its
interest in the campaign to collect the
necessary funds, will be glad to re-
scriptions, and will publish from time
to time the name Of the donors whose
gifts are made through it's office.
To each donor Of 10 cents or any
amount less than 81, Mrs. Dimock will
send a button which sets forth that

The Washington Memorial will
stand as a center for the diffusion
Of knowledge. It's smaller halls will
furnish a home and gathering place
for national, patriotic, scientific, lit
erary and similar organizations, while
its great auditoriums, with a seating
capacity of 10000 will accommodate
the great national and international
celebrations and congresses.
The building will be tire hundred
feet wide, two hundred and seventy
feet deep and four stories in height.
Mrs. Dimock is the active head of
the memorial association and is per-
sonally directing the Embarrassing
campaign. Charles J. Bell, president
of the American Security and Trust

For D. "A. r. President

4 Members of the National Society
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
t.an have received information to the
effect that Mrs James Hamilton Lew
is, wife Of Senator Lewis of Illinois,
is to be the Story administration cam
didate for President general at the
Congress In Washington next April.
The formal announcement OF her can

weeks. Meanwhile prominent wom-

sought for endorsements in circular

who received copies of this circular
said Mrs. Lewis MAS never before fig
ured prominently in D. A. r. affairs.
At the very outset the geographical
issue threatens to be injected into
the election, sihce Mrs. Lewis comes
from the middle west which has had

other section Of the country This
in fact is one Of the arguments the
Story forces heretofore have used
against Mrs. George Thatcher Euern-
.sey. the differentiation candidate,
whose home is at Independence, Kan
sas.
Another incongrnity in the situa-
ton is the shift made by the forces
who now back Mrs. Lewis from their
previous attitude which was that no
woman Of less prominence than a.
state regent or national officer
should be chosen for president-gen-
eral
Mrs. Lewis has had little experience
and no prominence in d. A. r. affairs,
her membership being in chapter
hundreds of miles from her home
state and whose meetings she has at
tended infreQuently.
The appearance of Mrs. Lewis as a
Story administration candidate nat
urally will weaken the cause Of Mrs.
George Squires Of Minneapolis, who
relied on the administration for sup
port 1t will not affect the candi-
dacy of Mrs. John Miller Horton Of
Buffalo, who is an Independent with
support distributed in the south and
Atlantic coast states as well as the
middle west and west.

Astronomer Dead.

Melbourne, Feb. 15.-The death is
announced Of John Tebbutt, Austria
has foremost astronomer. He was 81
years old. Mr. Tebbutt spent practi-
cally the whole of his life at Windsor,
New South Wales, where he erected
an observatory at his own cost. He
first came into worldwide notice by
his minute observations Of the comets
of 1858, 1860, and 1861. Since that time
he had devoted his energies to the
discovery and observation Of comets.
In 1862 he was offered and declined
the post of government astronomer of
New South Wales.
