GERMAN ADVANCES

The report from Paris says that
a new offensive was begun by the
Germans at Verdun yesterday. x
After heavy shelling they made
series of charges, penetrating
some advanced trenches on Hill
304. Attacks were also made be-
tween Avocourt and Dead Mans
hill, scene of many famous and
bloody battles, but the Teutons were
repulsed with severe losses.
The Overseas agency last night
sent out a despatch from Berlin
dealing with the battle that has
been. raging southwest of Riga on
both banks of the IA River. Here,
according to this account the Teu-
tons advanced over a front of six
miles on both banks of the stream,
driving the Slavs back before them
and capturing large number OF
prisoners.
This counter thrust OF the Ger
man commanders appears to have
been entirely unexpected by the
Russians, and the agency reports
that the Germans have now re-
gained most of the ground which
the Germans were compelled to re-
linquish during the battle in the
early part of this month"
FRENCHMEN CAPTURED
The German official accounts OF
Thursday announced an increase
in the fighting upon the Somme
and Ancre fronts. This statement
says that ''the army group of
Crown Prince Rupprecht: Be
tween the Ancre and the Somme
and in Artois and on the Aisne
front fighting activity and other
hostile actions temporarily in
creased. -.
"Repeatded clashes of reconnoit7

tachmentS entered French trenches
and returned after violent fight

MOUNT OF PAU RIDER
DEPICTED IN POSTER
AS BUCKiNG "BR0NCH0"

Two designs for the poster for the
next Mid-Pacific Carnival are on ex'
hibition in one Of the show windows
Of W. w. Dimond & Co. They were
submitted by r. ]. Blake, local rep
resentative Of the Schmidt Lithograph
Co. of San Francisco.
Both designs are in line with a sug.
gestion made to the artist in San
Francisco that they be centered on
the Hawaiian pau rider. They both
show a pau rider in brilliant colors
and have an appropriate background
of Diamond Head and palm trees in
one case, and of rainbow and appro.
pirate scenery in the other.
That the artist has never been to
the islands and does not know the
pau rider is indicated in the manner
in which he portrays the horse upon
which the rider is mounted. He was
evidently not satisfied with the life.
less appearance of the pau rider as
seen on the ordinary post card, so he
gave the horse the animation of a
western broncho, which is quite unlike
the spirited yet gentle horse of the
pau rider.

NOgaard declared today TIL: the
ground is SO heavily infected with
anthrax in the dairy that if 1VV COWS
not immuneized were placed there
half Of them would be dead in a few
days.
The infections start IN most cases
from algaroba thorn wounds, he be-
Ueves, as marks OF these briars which
are thick In the place have frequently
been found on the infected COWS in
Iortions where the disease seemed
to be prevalent.
The deaths of these COWS that
have been imnunized are not re
markable," he adds. The same thing
would occur If smallpox were injec,

fhe wonder OF It is that more of the
COWS have not died thus far
The doctors experience with an

About 5000, 600 ) en-, which is equiv

years Of the war said j. A. Fenner,
general manager Of the Hospital Sup
Ply Co. OF Toxic. Japan, the only Amer
lean plant manufacturing surgical in
strCments in Japan, and also Red
Cross buyer for Chin and Japan. Mr.
Fenner passed through Honolulu yes
terday on a japanese boat after
spending seven months on the main
land. He is now returning to Japan.
The central organization Of the
American Red Cross work is in PetrC-
grad and from there orders are Issued
to Is heads Of departments, who con
duct the work directly. The buying
is done under the supervision OF these
Is men, and purchased the raw ma
terials for the division covering China
and Japan" continued Fenner.
THE women Of Japan do not take
part in the war work as the American
women do. Coming across the con
dnent l saw hundreds Of women with
their knitting, but in Japan you do not
find the women occupied in a similar
way. Nor are the people in general
excited about the war as they are IL
America. 1t is quite q different atmos
phere.
Prices in japan have gone up, but
not beyond the reach Of the average
man. For instance, / would pay
around IS yen for 4 suit now, whereas
l would pay about 3S under normal
conditions"
Mr.. Fenner is the owner Of three
drug stores in Japan and also a glass
factory. He passed through Honolulu
yesterday for the twelfth time.

The correspondence between Gov.
Pinkham and H. A. Meyer, assistant

shows that he was not mentioned
But the governor had been asked
70 express an opinion upon the ad
visibility Of having United States
transports take cargoes Of molasses
from the islands to the mainland.
Gov. Pfnkham advised, after con-
ference with the quartermaster de-
partment of the United States Army,
against transports being so used, as
Il seemed impractical to divert the
transport service to Hilo. He recon-
mended, however, the use Of the
transports for bringing labor here
from Manila.
This advice was given and the rec
ommendation made after Gov. Pink
ham received the following cablegram
from Assistant Secretary Meyer:
Good offices OF the department
have been solicited by private firm
TO secure use Of tanks in government
transports from Honolulu to San
Francisco for shipment Of molasses
and other commodities. What are
your views on the subject II war de-
partment consents?"
