TWO HAWAHANS HELD
ON SERIOUS CHARGES

Tom Makaukane and 0. Mauna, Ha-
waiians, were arrested yesterday after
noon by Sergeant of Detectives John
Kellett and later charged for imper-
sonating an officer. The defendants
we're arrested in Kakaako. On their
arrest, both men are said to have ad-
mitted freely to Sergeant Kellett that
they had made attempts to make ar
rests under the guise of officers but
denied that they received money for
the release of their "prisoners.n
Tom Saffery, who was also charged
with impersonating an officer some
time ago, they allege, was not in any
way connected with them in their work
and that they know nothing of his
operations. Saffery is now in the hands
Of the federal authorities.
Makaukane and Mauna showed a
badge owned by a seventeen year-old
mounted policeman, which, they admit,
they used in their "arrests.n
A third Hawaiian, Tom Kahale, was
arrested shortly after Makaukane and
Mauha were, but after investigation

AIEWYORK, Jhne 50-Avion,
In two miles south Of the cen
ter Of Lens IS now in the hands
Of the Canadians who are continu-
ing to draw their lines tighter and
tighter about the city.
With the capture of that town,
a suburb of Lens, the Canadians
took also 247 prisoners and twelve
machine guns from the Huns.
The fighting in this sector was
particularly desperate, the Ger
mans counter attacking many
times in an effort to drive the Bri-
fish out Of the. positions they had
won earlier in the day. The Can
adam advance, which was a ,bril-
liant one was made during the
night and during a binding rain
storm that soaked the ground and
the troops as they left the
trenches for the attack. The fight.
ing that followed was for the most
part in the ruins Of the outskirts
Of the French city. Near Oppy
the British captured 1000 yards oI
"a H L - eaN
trenches from the Germans.
The Germans made a slight
local gain on the Yerduh front
where they are attacking The
French lines once more. Yester.
day morning they resumed the
bombardment of the vicinity Of
Hill 304 and Ayocourt Wood, as
well as in the region around Ger
ny and Corbeny. Here the fight
ing was intensive and bloody for
time, and the masses of the
Grown Princes men carried the
head Of the attacking columns in
to the OUTER trenches Of the
French positions. There thew
stopped however, for the French
artillery inflicted tremendous pun
ishment upon them and the Ten
tons suffered severe losses. They
managed to hold their gains how
ever, in spite of spirited counter
attacks by the poilus. The Ger
man attack was made with care
fully picked troops, many Of
whom apparently had been
brought from the eastern front for
the lighting. .' T..
Berlin however claims that the
Germans had entered the French
trenches along two-thousand.
yard front and forced the defend
ers back FIVE hundred yards, TAX
ing $50 prisoners.
