MANY SHIPS IN PANAMA CANAL
 TRAFFIC
(By Associated Press)

PANAMA, Feb. P. Traffic sta tistics for the Panama canal show that the number of ocean going ships which made the transit through the canal in the calendar year 1916 was 1,253. Their aggregate net tonnage was B. 933,869 tons, and they carried total of 4.931,911 tons of cargo.
 The number of ships was seven per cent greater than in 1915, but in net tonnage, tolls, and cargo the re- cord for 1916 was little less than one per cent less than 1915. The two years had about the same bulk of traf' fife, and both saw the canal closed for period of three and half months.
 The tolls collected in 1916 were s,3 677,695.6O. which was not equal to the expenses. The ships in the United States coastwise trade were slightly over three per cent of the aggregate tonnage in 1916. In 1915 they were one-four.h of all the traffic, and 1T 1914 they were two-fifths. Most O the former coastwise ships have bee, diverted to the more profitable for eign trade.

This di- vided responsibility does not work for efficiency in the enforcement of the game laws and regulations, nor does it increase respect for the law on the part of the people.

KEPT CLEAR IF THE MEXICAN
 SC0URGE
tBy Associated Press)

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. 22. - Af. fected only indirectly by the series of revolutions that have scourged Mexico in recent years, the inhabi. tants of the territory of Lower Cali tornia are continuing their usual pur- suits without molestation and under the leadership of Military Governor Esteban Cantu. and are entering into m era of progress that portends an important. development in the agri- tnsuia d industrial life of the pen.
 Governor Cantu has held aloof from the internecine warfare that has ray aged the other states of Mexico and because of Lower California's isola. ton the people under his rule scarce ly have been brought into touch with conditions existing beyond the waters If the Gulf of California.
 Although a soldier by choice, Gov arnor Cantu has proved during the few years that he has controlled the territory that he leans strongly to- ward the pursuits of peace. Coming into power in December, 1914, when Belthazar Aliez, civil governor. was overthrown in bloodless uprising at Tijuana, the then Colonel Cantu began to reorganize the economic life of Lower California.
 First he sent Avilez's followers to the farming districts in the south and admonished them to abandon the rifle md till the soil; then he set about to develop the agricultural, mining and shipping resources. A program of business expansion, just announced has for it's object the stimulation ol trade relations between his people and those of the Pacific coast of the Uni ted States.
 Always a friend of Americans, Gov ernor Cantu holds the respect ant confidence of authorities and busi ness men here. and it is understood he will welcome American capital fl developing the little touched resour ces of Lower California.

MILLIONS MADE IN HAWAIIAN
 SUGAR

HONOLULU, Feb. 22. - Twenty three sugar companies of Hawaii, which includes all that are listed on the Honolulu stock and bond ex- change, disbursed in cash dividends in 1916 a total of $19.259. 500, accord ing to figures just made public here.
 Based on the par value of shares, the average earnings of these twenty three companies were 27.3 per cent on the capital invested. In most cases, however, the capital stock con sists chiefly of reinvested profits. and the percentage of earnings is in some instances more than 100 per cent on the actual original cash investment.
 Stock dividends are not included in the figures given. Were this done. it would show the profits derived by holders in Hawaiian sugar companies to be very much greater.
 The largest earnings in proportion to capital fell to Onomea Sugar Com pany, which disbursed cash dividends aggregating fifty-five per cent Of it's capital stock. Pepeekeo Sugar Com pany came next with fifty per cent. The smallest in the list was Olaa Su- gar Company with only five per cent. This plantation, however, paid no divi- dends until July, the dividend declared that month being the first the com pany ever paid.

KING 0F GREECE TO REMAIN LIN
 THRONE
tBy Associated Press)

| ATHENS, Greece, Feb. 22. - The attacks upon King Constantine are serving to draw the members of his
 family more closely about him. P-in- cess Alice of Battenberg, Prince An drew's wife, who is an English prin- cess and whose two brothers are in the British navy, is as loyal and de-
 voted to her brother in law as are his
 blood relations.
 Those who today are engaged in
 the revolutionary movement will re-
 turn to loyal allegiance the moment
 the foreign influence is lifted from
 them," declared the princess to a cor
 respondent of the Associated Press.

 lis precisely what the Greek people
 need as king. He is brave and in.
 spired soldier, who has led them to
 victory; and they adore him for 1t.
 You saw the king at Champ de Mars ride among his people without guard, the peo-' casing about him. clinging to h iddle, touching him, running along beside his horse. I doubt that if any other country in the world. monarch or president. would have been given so wonderful a re- ception.
 Some of the entente newspapers said my brother in law was trying to suicide by taking such risks. That shows just how much they know about 1t. The people Of Greece al- most worship their king, and the great mistake the entente has made has been to assume the contrary, and to protect and foster a revolution against him. Had they spent quarter of the time and goodwill seeking to come to m understanding with the king that they have spent in helping build up revolutionary movement directed against him, none of the sad events If the last few months would have occurred; and he and they would have been working in perfect harmony long ''- No rne Engrrsn princess declared. T cannot believe that my own peo- Dle are so misinformed of the real in Greece as to consider for moment any attempt to take King Constantine from the throne. But if they should countenance it. I nm positive that they would realize Tn very short time what they should realize now; that no one but King Constantine is capable of leading Greece safely through this world crisis; and that should he go, the Greek people as one man would call him back"
