First Sgt. A. W. Hayes, hospital
corps, was detained by the provost
guard last night and taken to the police
station, He had a Glass A ticket, but
stated that he was in ignorance of the
order prohibiting men from being away
from the local army posts after re-
treat. sl,.,a .r-. T.
A general order against any soldier
being absent from his post after re-
treat, under pain of general court'mar-
tial, was circulated yesterday, and, in
consequences there wasn't a man in
khaki to be seen on the streets last
night, unless on duty, most unusual
thing for a Saturday night, when the
streets of the city are always crowded
with soldiers on pleasure bent. ~

Honolulu got the developments in the
situation practically as fast as they
happened in Washington. II is safe
to say that this city was only few.
minutes behind the cities of the East
in getting It's news.
This rapidity in the transmission Of
war, or near.war, news was in strik-
ing contrast to the way the news came
20 Honolulu when the United States
last engaged in formal war with a
foreign power. That was in 1898 when
we went 70 war with Spain. r.
II was on April IL, 1898, that Pre-
Sident Mckinley sent his message to
congress, asking for power and author.
ity TO use the forces Of the United
states to intervene in Cuba, where
Spain was making war on the little
republic. II was not until April 10
that the rews was published in The Ad-
vertiser, for there was no cable in those
| days and the news had TO come by
steamer.
On April ID, 1898 congress granted
the authority asked by President Ne.
Kinley. Honolulu knew of the action
of congress on April 29-sixteen days
Nfter it was taken. The same day the
Oceanic steamer Mariposa brought from
auckland premature report, current
when she left that port thirteen days
before, that the United States apd
Spain were at war.
On April 20, 1893, President McKin
ley issued his ultimatum to Spain
which was = virtual declaration of war
and the same day the troops began e

The request of the President that
congress devote itself to immediate
consideration of measures for national
defenseNwas received by the law MAX
ers with acclaim, and the pledge that
they would obey instructions at once.
. Everywhere were TO be heard express
sions Of loyalty TO Wilson and the adj
ministration, and il soon became evil,
dent that the President has the united
support of the whole congress.
Throughout the nation as a whole the
action of the President has been re-
ceived with perfect fever Of en-
thpsiasm, Metropolitan, socialist,
country and small city papers have raj;
lied to his support with hardly an ex-
eeption even among the German-Ameri'
can papers. The Morgan Gazette pub
lished in Philadelphia, and a most in
auential daily paper in commenting up
on the situation this morning, says;
Should Remain Loyal H'l
"As American citizens il is the duty
of German Americans to remain loyal
10 the country to which they have
sworn their allegiance. We must un,
less we expect stigma to rest for ever
upon the name of Germany remain true
to the Stars and Stripes.
The Volksblatt issued in Cincinnati,
declares that the "yiew of the Presi
dent is untenable. He has severed re-
lations with Germany ON the ground
that she has invaded the rights OF
the United States, but he failed to
punish England when she was guilty
of far grosser violations of American
rights. -...r..5F r.
The President spent the evening in
a close study of the diplomatic situa-
ton and in searching for precodents
Applicable to the situation.
Not Act Of War
1t was pointed out last night that
while the severing of relations with
Germany Is a step short OF an act OF
war, it is one that has hardly ever
failed TO bring such an act or declara.
lion in its wake at once. In the his.
tory of the world there is hardly an in
stance where two great nations had
reached a point where diplomatic re-
lations have been cut, that war did
mot follow within a short time. In
deed the announcement that an ambas
sador of one power has been handed
bis passports is generally considered as
equivalent to declaration Of hostil
tiles. AE
As matter of fact; the rights OF
lGermqns in the United States and OF
/ Americans In Germany are not affected
lby the mere act of severing relations
No treaties are affected by the move
! and German consuls in American ports
can continues to exercise their duties
unhindered unless the German govern
ment follows the example Of Washing
ton and issues instructions to its EN-
bassy here to withdraw all copsuls and
close all embassies Immediately. Sueh
a move is not expected here at this
time.

MRS. THORPE LEAVING
GIVEN DINNER RING
Chapter Ladies Show Their Appreci,
alton for Expert Advise and In
Struction Given

Mrs. Cora Thorpe, who has been
working her rewith the Stevens Coun-
ty Chapter of the American Red
Cross since last spring, having ad-
dressed the initial meeting at which
the chapter was organized, and ad-
vised constantly with the officers and
directors on the prosecution of the
work, and conducted several classes
in various branches of the work, left
yesterday to join her husband, Lieut.
Col. Thorpe, in San Domingo,
Last Monday the ladies of the Red
Cross Chapter presented Mrs. Thorpe
with dinner ring as token of their
appreciation Of her invaluable work
here this summer. Mrs. Thorpe was
completely surprised and appreciates
the gift very highly, and as it will
be impossible for her to reach all
whom she would like to thank, asks
us to publish the following note of
appreciation:-
Dear friends of the Stevens Coun-
ty Chapter, American Red Cross.
ALLOW me to take this opportunity
of expressing to you all my deep ap-
probation of the esquisite ring, pre-
sented to me Monday evening.
1T came as a complete and delight
full surprise and 1 wish you all, dear
friends, to know with what great
pride l shall always cherish it, and
wearing it as I always shall, how it
will serve ever as an inspiration to
me to do my bit wherever the
exigencies of life may call me.
Il wish also to take this moment
to thank the knitting committee for
the set of socks, sweaters, wristlets
and muffler so kindly sent to my
husband, Lieut.. Col. Thorpe. No one
of the Stevens county boys will be
more appreciative than he and none,
1 am sure, will try harder to uphold
the honor and traditions of Stevens
county manhood upon the field.
Lastly. let me express to you my
high appreciation of the fine. spirit
Of Norris, and let me compliment you
upon the energy which in three short
months has built up chapter of. such
dimensions as the Stevens County
Chapter; upon the alacrity with
which that chapter has responded to
all uggestions-and usually i'm
proved upon them; upon the regular
ity of the attendance and excellence
of work which has characterized the
Surgical Dressing classes and for the
great output of work of the. Garment
Hospital Linen and Knitting Com
mittees. President Roosevelt has
said, The war will be won by the
American Army, the American Navy
and the American Red Cross Let
me remind the boys who go to the
front that the daughters of Stevens
county are behind them.
Most appreciatively,
Cora w. Thorpe"

Supt Utne has arranged with
prominent Norris men and women to
speak to the high school students at
the assembly hour one day of each
week. Mrs. Cora Wells Thorpe and
Rev. F. A. Stever have spoken to the
students during the past two weeks.
The attendance is considerably
lower this year than at the begin
ming of the last school year. The
enrolment in the classes is Seniors
IA; Juniors, IA; Sophomores, 26;
Freshman 35. The decrease in at
tendance is due almost entirely to the
unusually small number of boys that
enrolled this year. For this reason
| the Morris High School will probably
take but little part on inter schol-
astic athletics.
To better prepare themselves for
the Junior-Freshman literary society
the Freshman English class, taught
by Miss Woodman have organized a
literary circle and intend to de-
vote a great deal of outside time to
the preparation Of literary work.
