Imports Is
Resciinded
Islands Exempted and Given
Blanket License for Importa-
ton of Rice, BurIap, Etc.

Cabled instructions were received
this morning by NJ. A. Franklin, col
lector of the Honolulu port, that a
blanket license had been granted by
the war trade board for the islands ex-
empting them from the Presidential
proclamation of Nov. % requiring a
license for the importing Of a long
list of articles.
The cable follows lengthy one re-
ceived Tuesday explaining the extent
and limitations of the presidential
proclamation. Publication of the ca
Bile caused CONSERVATION in the Homo
lulu business district, as the order was
such a general one it would almost en-
tirely stop the importation of num-
Der Of necessities.
According to the wording Of the
proclamation a license had to be Sc
cured from Washington for the impor.
tation of rice, rubber, burlap and
nearly so other articles. :,
AS a result of the receipt of the Or
der Raymond Brown, secretary of the
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, yes
terday sent the following cable to
Sydney Ballou, island representative
in Washington:
Merchants Of Hawaii handicapped
absence of blanks comply Presidential
proclamation providing certain articles
shall not be imported except under H.
cense granted by war trade board. Is
1t practicable extend date application
to Hawaii? May local representative
be appointed to issue license similar
to course adopted tor port San Fran
cisco?"
This cablegram was not filed until
late yesterday afternoon and it is
hardly likely that Judge Ballou had
an opportunity to act before the treas
ury department or war board decided
to modify the application of the proc
lamation for the Hawaiian islands.
The cablegram received by Collector
Franklin this morning states in part
that a blanket license is granted for
all imports into your district of arti-
eles mentioned in said proclamation,
such license to remain in force until
revoked"

BATTLES IMPEND
ON CAMBRIA FRONT AND
NEW LINE OF ITALIANS
ASSOCIATED Press bSu. S. Naval WfrsIsss.)

associates Press DyO. .. NAVAL WFeteSSJ
WASHINGTON, Dec Elm the abb
sence of infantry engagements of mag
nitude yesterday indications are not
wanting that on both the italian front
and in the Cambria sector the titanic
struggles of last week will be re-
sumed with the Germans as the az
gressors.
Taking advantage of the Russian
breakdown and the progress made for
an armistice between the forces OF
Russia and those of Germany and
Austria. the Teutons have withdrawn
forces from the fronts upon which
they are not now needed and have
hurried them to bolster up the shat
tered forces of Prince Rupprecht on
the western front and TO further rein
force the Austro-German armies on
the northern Italian line with the puT-
pose of there resuming their thrusts,
which look to be the opening up Of
the road to Venice across the Vene-
tan plains On the Cambria front eff
forts are to be directed toward the
destruction Of General Byng's salient.
A renewal Of the terrific attacks that
have proved SO costly to the Teutons
is expected at any time, and is clearly
indicated by the increased intensity
of the Teuton barrage.

FISH DEALERS WILL
ACCEPT AGREED PRICE


Local retail fish dealers are willing
to accept an agreed price at which
they shall sell their commodity to the
public; in fact, they are willing to do
any reasonable thing the territorial
food commission may suggest, and all
they ask in return is fair profit on
their business. This is the result Of
a conference this morning by Federal
Food Administrator ]. F. Child with a
committee of retail fish men. An
other meeting is to be held soon to
endeavor to determine fair selling
price for the different varieties OF
fish in accordance with the conditions
under which they are sold. The case
of the fishermen and fish companies
will be taken up later.
