FUEL OIL, COAL
Will BE GIVEN
TO ALL VESSELS
Cable Instructions Include All
Craft of Countries Allied
Against Huns

Hereafter. permission 10 take on
fuel coal and oil is to be granted TO
all ships. whether belonging to the
countries allied against Germany. or
these OF neutral countries. Such are
the instructions contained in a cable
gram directed to the Honolulu Gus
toms service which was received Fri
day afternoon.
The treasury order is to freely
grant fuel oil and coal to all ships,
whether neutral or not. The order
whether there would be any ruling
against the furnishing Of fuel oil to
the Manoa tomorrow.
A few weeks ago a number Of Dutch
ships were held up in this port fo-
three days while permission was Sc
cured from Washington to supply
them with bunker coal. Since then
special permission, with the specific
amount Of coal desired. has had to be
secured by cable from the department
for all of the Dutch ships calling here
for bunkers.
Due to the necessity of securing a
license from Washington for the ex
porting of various commodities which
are now under the war export ban,
the work of the local customs force
is daily increasing Additions and
deletions are made to the list almost
weekly
That license for the export of steel
and iron and many other articles must
be secured from Washington has not
yet been realized by some of the Ho
nolulu dealers. In consequence they
are having shipments delayed here,
or are put to extra expense in cabling
to Washington for the required per-
mission. Dealers in scrap iron, tin
and steel are among those upon whom
the ban falls, as much of their ma
terlal has been sent from here to
Japan.
The Honolulu Iron Works and Cat
ton & Neill, dealers in sugar mill ma
chinery who have an export trade to
the Orient, Antipodes and South Sea
islands, are two of the bigger firms
that frequently have to cable for ex
port licenses.
No ship destined for foreign port
on which there are articles under the
export ban will be granted a clearance
by the customs officials.

RECORD CARGO

Consigned to Honolulu
on One Vessel

What is declared to be the largest
cargo ever brought here by any one
vessel will be discharged from the
Matsonia after her arrival in port On
Wednesday. The Matsonia has $3.50
tons of general cargo, the only ltem
mentioned by the last ships wireless
being 1853 bales of government hay.
shipped to Honolulu for transsh'p.
ment to Manila.
While some of the big sugar car
riers have capacity for several thou
sand more tons that the Matsonia Is
bringing, it is said this is the biggest
single freight list ever consigned to
Honolulu. Her big cargo Is taken as
reminder of the lessening, Il'Nber
Of bottoms now plying between Homo
lulu and San Francisco. Normally, q
portion of the freight coming In on
the Matsonia would have been SHIPPED
on the Manoa, if she had not been
put in the Manila service.

gers, 10 in the steerage AMI 2l3 bags

MANOA. : 'T I n.
TRIP TO MANILA

Stopping only few hours, the Mat
son steamer Manoa, bound for Manila
on her first voyage, took on 5000 bar
srels of fuel oil here yesterday. The
Manoa has a cargo of combustibles
for government military posts in the
Philippines. She is under charter to
WEIGH & Co. Of San Francisco and is
to return with a cargo of sugar, hemp
and copra.
The purpose Of taking on fuel cargo
here is so the vessel will not have to
stop in Honolulu on the return voyage,
it is stated. Captain Soule, master Of
the Manoa, is accompanied on the voy-
age to Manila by his wife. The Ma
noa has been chartered for only two
Manila voyages, but may be main
tanned in the Philippine trade, if bust
ness warrants it. "<
The Manoa had 200 bags of mail for
Honolulu.

Dear Sir:
1. You have undoubtedly learned

der to remove certain existing handi-

cess to this organization it is essen
tial that we secure a number of tech
nically trained men, and skilled arti-
sans of the various trades, such as
civil engineers, stenographers, typists,
auto repairers, electricians, telegraph
