Mrs. Saportas arrived on Thursday
port Sheridan, the wedding taking
place at o'clock that evening at the
home OF Mrs. Augustus E. Murphy.
1t was a small wedding with about
20 assembled guests to witness the
marriage VOWS. The rooms were filled
with pink roses, pink gladiolas, pink
asters and pink hibiscus. The mar
riage lines were read by Chaplain
Ignatius Fealy of Schofield. Miss
Martha McChesney played the we'd
ding march. Mr. George X. French
gave the bride away into the keeping
of her husband, Mrs. George X.
French being matron Of honor. The
bride was attractively gowned in an
ivory-toned embroidered net with
touches of blue. Steel colored silver
shoes completed this dainty bridal
gown. She carried a shower of white
gardenias and white sweet peas.
After the wedding ceremony light
refreshments were served and then
the bride and groom left for Waikiki.
Today they will sail for the Volcano,
and on their return they will make
their home at Schofield. Mrs. Sapor-
tas comes from st. Louis, Missouri,
being one of the old Cabania family
of that city. Mrs. Saportas is a very
charming woman, with a deal of per.
sonal magnetism, and will undoubted-
ly make delightful niche for herself
in the social life of Honolulu.

AN ENGAGEMENT OF INTEREST
Last Tuesday afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. George r. Carter announced the
engagement of their daughter, Phoebe,
to Mr.. Vivian Oxenham Dyer It was
small affair, only about so guests
being in attendance, mostly relatives
and intimate friends. Mr.. Carter had
phoned and asked those near and dear
ones to come and a delightful sur
prise it was. The rooms were frag-
rant from the scent of hundreds Of
blooms, quintet furnished music and
light refreshments were served amid
the hearty congratulations of the as
sembled friends.
Miss Phoebe is the second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carter and Mr.. Dyer
is the son of Maj. and Mrs. John Dyer
of the British army. 1t was jolly,
charming affair. The young people
have been showered with good wishes
for their future. Miss Carter is a
kamaafna in every sense of the word,
the third generation of her family
born In Hawaii, so she truly is a
daughter of the islands. No date has
been set for the wedding.

soldier and sailor lads and they, too,
will love her.
She has deep sense of the obliga-
ton we all owe our fighting lads, and
having one son in training at an avia-

the National Guard. one can easily
know what her effort will be to
brighten the lives of our boys.
Mrs. Lowrey has an executive COM

to help carry out the plans mapped
out. 1t is to be hoped that every
woman in Honolulu will show her
interest in this work by coming to
the monthly meeting. 1t is Mrs.
Lowry's intention to hold only a short
meeting. probably not longer than an
hour, so everyone can plan and ar
range to attend to other business.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one.

COUNT TARNOWsKl
The Ambassador from Vienna
Probably Will Never Pre-
sent His Credentials

London, Observation-Disclosures s re-
ply 10 the American note in regard
to the submarine issue will be hand
ed shortly to the United States am
bassador at Vienna and will probab-
ly endorse the position of Germany,
according to a Reuters Amsterdam
dispatch, quoting Berlin telegram
to the Wesser Zeitung at Bremen.
The telegram says that the Vienna
government will clearly express the
view that there is no turning back
for the Central powers.
Tarnowiski Held Up.
Washington, d. C.-The state de-
partment recently notified the Aus
trian embassy here that Count Tar
now Tarnowski, the new Austrian
ambassador who landed the day the
German proclamation was received
could not present his credentials to
President Wilson until the issue be-
tween the two countries was cleared
up.
The feeling prevails here that while
both this country and Austria are
seeking to avoid a break, Germany is
determined that her ally shall support
the submarine campaign.
The withdrawal of the American
diplomatic and. consular corps from
Austria will not present as difficult
problem as in the case of Germany
The embassy force at Vienna is small
er and there are only about twelve
consuls in the dual empire. Latest
official reports indicate that while
there are several hundred Austro-
Americans there, there are less than
fifty native Americans who would
return to the United States in case of
a break.

TONIGHT.
Washington, ID. C.-The House for

Washington, D. C.-The House for
eign affairs committee today reported
the Flood bill, designed to give the
president power to protect the lives
of United States citizens and Ameri-
can ships. after striking out the
words 'other instrumentalities," and
amending the measure to prohibit
war insurance for ships carrying mu-
nitions
The text OF the Flood measure, as
reported out, follows:
THE president of the United States
be and hereby is authorized and en-
powered to supply merchant ships,
the property of the citizens of the
United States and bearing the regis
try of the United States, with defen-
sive arms and men and means for
their use in defense against unlawful
by authorized and empowered to pro-
tect such ships and citizens of the
United States against unlawful at
tacks, while in the lawful and re-
spectful pursuits on the high seas.
This eliminates the provision which
would have permitted the president
to use "other instrumentalities" for
the defense of American lives and
property on the high seas.
In order to assure the passage OF
the emergency revenue bill, the SEN
ate finance committee has practically
agreed to withdraw all Of it's amend
ments when the time for voting pc
gins at O'Clock this evening. This
would obviate any necessity for
conference and the bill could go to
the president after the vote.
The first vote of the revenue bill
was on the Underwood amendment to
reduce the tax on oleomargarlne. 1t
was beaten 50 to 81.
An increase of $37,500,000 to the
army appropriation bill was ordered
today by the Senate military commit
tee, in completing its revision of the
measure, which passed the House.
AS reported back to the House, the
measure will carry $277,4SO.7O8,

carried in the existing law.

ED ENTER
PRISES,

Pierre, S. D.-A few venerable tra-
ditions We're overturned by the South
Dakota senate at a late hour Tues
day night, when that body voted to
submit to the people the question of
throwing off the constitutional re-
strictions which have heretofore
prevented the state from engaging in
business enterprises. 1t went even
further and made the proposed
amendment broad enough to permit
counties and municipalities to en-
gage in business enterprises.
The Farmers Non-Patrisan league
has been urging the legislature to
open the door wide enough to allow
business undertakings that will help
bring producer and consumer to-
gether and do away with monopoly
and private control of the avenues
of trade. A similar amendment of
Democratic origin proposed earlier
in the session was defeated, but the
Senate had a change of heart, due. it
was limited, to administration in
tluence, and the two sides of the
chamber We'd with each other in
smoothing the way for the passage OF
the measure.
The Farmers league has asked
that the state be allowed to go as high
as a million in expenditures for "a
business enterprise approved by the
people, but the Senate raised the limit
to five million. The result may be
the overturning of the old constitu-
tional provision that the state shall
not engage in making internal i'm
provements, but there are plenty of
safeguards The people must first
adopt the amendment and under the
terms of the amendment any propos-
ed enterprise must first be approved
of a majority vote of the people.
The possibilities are unlimited. IT

the people at the next election adopt

ment which the farmers of South Da-
kota We're contending for at Bis
mark, but which they failed to get
through the North Dakota legisla-
ture.
