French Have Upper Hand.

Paris. March 26. 12:O5 a. m.-The battle of St. Quentin continues to rage with unabated fury. The honors of the last twenty-four hours fighting have been with the French, who are pushing forward steadily, taking all the precautions that the nature of the operations calls for and in the face of desperate resistance by the Ger mans. The advance necessarily is slow, on account of the character of the ground.
 St. Quentin is protected on the northwest by Omignon river, which, although only a brook, like most of the Somme tributaries. runs through a broad valley full of swamps and clumps of trees which greatly in creases it's defensive value. To the west the approaches to the city are over bare. fiat plain devoid of any natural obstacle and with but few vil- lages. Here the French advance naturally is most rapid. but the plain narrows and ends in a sharp point at St. Quentin. At Savy, the most favor able point, the Germans have built their main defensive line.
 The German right runs from the Omignon river at Verrnand to the aolnon wood and their center is at Saw. Against these two sections the French so far have made little head way, but on the German left they have carried the strong key position on the plateau of Essigny and Benay. This section, extending from the Somme at Seracourt to the Disc at Vendeuil. runs through gently undu- lating country which offers admirable fields of fire to the defender.
 The center region is 8 wide hil1ock 360 feet high on which stands the vil- lage of Essigny. It is flanked on the southeast by a similar eminence near Beenay, and the definite loss of this strong position French military critics claim, would force the whole German wing back on the Disc. exposing St. Quentin to the south and imperiling the rest of the line as far as the Omignon. It is considered certain, therefore, that the Germans will make determined efforts to retrieve their. failure here.
 The French also made an impress sion Sunday on the bulge in their line formed by the lower Coucy forest. Troops which crossed the Ailette and attacked the salient at its apex suc- ceeded in establishing a footing in the Soissons-St. Quentin highroad at Coucy-le-C Chateau.

OF the thirty-eight thousand chill.
dren in the Hawaiian schools, more
than nineteen thousand are Orientals
and nearly fifteen thousand of these
are Japanese. When it is considered
that the total number of Hawaiians
enrolled is only slightly over eight
thousand, it is plain to be seen in
what direction the population increase
is tending. In the last six years the
Hawaiian population has been dimin'
ished by nearly three thousand and
the Japanese population in the same
period Of time has increased twenty
thousand.
Many Japanese There
Most of Honolulu that isn't decided
ly western is Japanese, though it is
amazing, when you consider that
there are more than three times as
many Japanese in Hawaii as there are
people of any other country, that they
have not more definitely impressed
the character of their civilization up
on the islands,
On the steps Of the schoolhouse
there were half a dozen Japanese
women in kimonos, with Japanese
doll babies tied on their backs. One
of them smiled for appreciation Of my
unspoken pleasure at the picture she
made, and, growing mora friendly
still, waved the baby's hand to me.
The Japanese in Honolulu do not
seem to agree with the American
opinion that all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy. That may
apply to Jack, but Toga is mace to
be very busy little person. Not only
does he have to go to the American
school just as many hours as Jack,
but when school is out and marbles
and top time has arrived for Jack,
Toga must go to Japanese school.
Last year the school department
tried vacation school experiments
which proved a success for both chill
dren and mothers. Special stress is
put upon vocational training. In the
school yard we found a house built
and entirely furnished by the chill
dren. The seats, the desk, the rugs,
even the grandfather's clock, was
made by the children. In the same
school we found a modernly equipped
domestic science department with All
electric dish washing machine and all
of the other last minute household
helps.
On the table was a huge pile of
bread done up In oiled paper and
labeled Wrapped as Baked" A far
cry, that bread seemed to me, from
the native biscuits cooked on an open
fire under the coconut trees such
short time ago.
In this modern kitchen lunch for
a hundred and ten children was in
course of preparation, to be sold at
the cost of production, which is )

Princess Ruth, who "builded better

it's present occupation as thoroughly
as though it had been made for it.
