Hui Kaahumanu, the women dressed in
black holokus and hats, and many Of
them wearing old and valuable yellow
feather leis, Immediately next in line.
Place had been reserved here for the
representatives of Hawaiian societies
on the other islands but none appeared.
The Hui Oiwi Kane and the Hui Oiwi

Only a small section Of the men Of this
influential society wore their customary
red shirts. II was noticed that there
were large numbers of younger Hawa-
iians in this society's line YESTERDAY,
where in the past parades the marchers
have been old and middle aged men.
Following the poolas came the two So
cieties of the Latter Day Saints, the
Hui fOpio and the Hui ma Manawalea.
The Kawaiahao alumnae we're repre-
scented in the parade but did not have
a section Of their own. - |Hs
The Hui ka Hale ma Ali o Hawaii
were already arranged about the statue
before the parade came up, OF all the
societies attending, this alone kept up
the old semhlance Of pageantry. The
brilliant yellow capes and crested
helmets looked bit homogeneous over
the blue serge suits and modern gar
ments, but the broad spIashes of color
were nevertheless pretty and attractive
and were the mark of hundreds Of cam
eras and moving picture machines. Ed
ward X. Lilikalani, the head Of the
society, had arranged his people about
the statue in such manner as the ranks
which they were supposed to represent
would have taken their places about the
king had he been living instead Of
moulded in bronze.
Important in the parade were the
Boy Scouts who both marched in the
line and acted as guards along the
route, moving under the direction of
their scoutmaster with precision and
discipline. -.. ..-.. ~.
The parade was under the direction
of Grand Marshal Cant. Robert Parker
Waipa assisted by 0scnr P. Cox and J..
X. MOkumaia, his principal aides.

Splendid Weather Aids " .,
There was splendid weather at the
track again. Just as was the case Sat
urday, when there were heavy showers
downtown but none at the track, no rain
had fallen at Kapiolani, but the sky was
not so clear as Saturday. This state,
however, was welcome in the morning,
for the clouds shielded the stands from
the sun during the early hours Of the
meet. A. NJ. Hamtick' s weather pre-,
diction again was borne out, but the
weather in the afternoon was better
than expected.
The stands began filing about ten
clock. Most of the arrivals were
within forty-fve minutes or so. -
The morning crowd only, partially
took up the stand, some Of the boxes be-
ing untitled. The stand in general, how.
ever, was well taken. The bleachers on
the extreme Eva end were not occupied.
The anthrax outbreak on Maui, the non
entrance of the Parker horses, the war,
and other factors apparently were hold

the threatening weather downtown, de-
spite the fine conditions at the track,
probably caused many to remain away

English monitors. Airplanes at the
same time were dropping bombs upon
the Austrian works from the sky.
During the artillery attack the noun
tain seemed like a volcano. The
rock, concrete. and great barbed
wire systems were seen to be giving
way. The scene was one of terrible
grandeur and last all night.
I'm the morning the Italian infan-
try emerged and proceeded to the as
sault on the slopes while the artillery
concentrated it's fire on the summit
Of the mountain. The first Austrian
lines. already demoralized, were
broken and taken by the Impetuous
attack of the Bersaglieri, grenadiers
and infantry, who discovered the nests
of enemy machine guns and captured
An enormous quantity of material and
large number of prisoners.
Hand to Hand Struggle.
AT this point the Austrian reserves
were ordered to attack from their
higher positions. There ensued
CHASTITY hand to hand fight, the
Italians being completely victorious,
although the carrying Of each terrace
was equal to the conquering Of the
The battle is still progressing on
the rough, rocky slopes Of the Her
mada The Italians are advancing
over the terraces of fire in the keen
est expectation of winning the sum-
NIT. The fall of the fortress is close
at hand
''The Austrian correspondents ad-
NIT the fmpetuosity of the Italian
offensive. The communicate of the
Vienna War Office says these are the
severest days of the war on the Isonzo
front. The Fremdenblatt of Vienna
says the Italian command desires to
reach Triesta by direct route along
the sea with three lines of attack, and
the same paper states that the battle
is proceeding with the greaest con-
sumption of ammunition ever known,
and in conclusion asserts that the
defenses nearest Triest will be at
tackled very SOM.
"The Zurich Post says the Italian
infantry and artillery, already ire
mendously superior to the Austrians'
are daily becoming stronger. If one
Italian battery Is silenced, this paper
says, from ten to twenty new ones i'm

1T seems the Italian command,
knowing a free Europe must issue
from the victory of the Allies is COM
peting in bravery and action, bring
ing 1taly's maximum contribution to
the common effort of crushing the
Central Empires.
THE genius of Central Cadorna,
which ripened in silence, has hereto
fore been chiefly observed in his or
ganization of the closest collabora-
ton between the different arms over
a very large front, obtaining the
largest results possible from the CO.
operation Of the aerial and naval
arms.
The diversion that the Austrians
in the Trentino proves that
they realize that they are losing. The

iority of Italy's offensive means. They
admit also Austrian inferiority in

Mr.. Hoover will announce a definite
figure at which wholesale sugar
should be delivered The machinery
Of the food administration, it was
stated, would be used to end specula-
tive profits between producer and re-
taller.
Mr.. Hoover's Announcement.
This statement was issued yesterday
by the food administrator:
'The beet sugar producers of the
country have periodically agreed with
the food administration to limit the
price of their sugar to basis which
should result in a reduction OF about
n cents a pound from the present
price, effecting a saving Of s30,000,-
900 to the consuming public between
now and the first of next year.
lowing to the holders of the re-
mainder of the Cuban crop asking ex-
orbitant prices for their sugar, the
price has advanced during the last
few weeks by over IL cents per
pound. The new Cuban crop will not
oe available until the latter part Of
December, and if this high price is to
continue until that time, the Amer
lean public will have paid about $780,
100000 more for their sugar than
would have otherwise have been the
rase. The beet sugar production of
about 100000 tons begins to come
into the market during the month of
September, and should furnish the
bulk of supplies between then and
the first Of next year, when the Cuban
crop will be available.
I'm response to request from the
food administration representatives Of
80 per cent. of the domestic beet
sugar industry of the United States
have be9n In conference with the
food administration in Washington
during the last week. AS a result of
this conference these beet sugar pro-
ducers reached the agreement to limit
their price to a basis that will make
possible the $3o,oo0,00o saving to the
public.
THE representatives Of the best
sugar producers who were in Wash
ington during the last week have
pledged themselves to secure the &C
tive cooperation Of the other 20 per
cent. of the beet industry, and have
every reason to believe that the &C
