Johnston came back in the third
set with the score one all, and when
the first few games had been played
the enthusiasts present knew that the
match was as good as settled. Johns
ton was cool. while Church was max.
ing much unnecessary effort In q hope
to break through the play of the Cali.

the match was ideal, and both play
ers fighting for the title, which was
the. first ranking tournament OF the
year. gained many friends by their
ideal sportsmanship.
Sparkling Play
The play sparkied at all times.
Each was putting the full force of his
skill to the test from the instant the
contest started and the driving, half
yolleying and volIeying was q reye-
Iation OF the heights to which real
tennis can attain. The rallies were not
long as rule, for quick finishing
on OF the point was the objective with
both Johnston and Church, but some
OF them we're sustained to the. point
that applause broke forth from the
crowd before the point was won.
Although the play was brilliant,
there is hardly occasion for the an.
plauding at4tennis until the point a
captured. This has been the rule al
the tennis matches here, and Is not
conducive to the best tennis. n pos
sible there should be something done

tournaments and there Is no reason
why the Honolulu enthusiasts should
break this old established custom
which has been the rule throughotlt

Fhroughout the match there were q
number OF brilliant rallies which
brought out applause from the gal

service, was away. toward the net
and camped about the service line he
fought back with the Easterner.
yohnston's placing was so thorourh
that the man on the base line was

The ability Of the Californian to keep

factor in the victory.

THE JOY OF THE HIKE.

Hikes should be more popular in
this country-fully as popular as in
England There a party of young
people, sensibly dressed and with
slaves, start at six Or seven o'clock
in the morning, carry few sandwiches
and a drink, walk along country roads
until noon, picnic and rest during the
heat of the day and then walk hons
IN the cool Of the day, refreshingly
tired, for such nights sleep as only
the true hiker knows. In England
there are girl hiking parties" boy
hiking parties," man and woman hlk
ing parties" and the English sturdi~
ness of body and mind is the result.
Sometimes a goal is fixed in the shape
OF a farmhouse where luncheon IS
arranged for: at other times a hike
is arranged for one way and farm
wagon carries the mixers back early
In the evening or by moonlight. But
the main idea in all is the hike. Let
II hike more in this country. We have
the beautiful country, better roads
than ever, and the JOY is a joy that
no one knows of until it IS tested and
tasted. Then everybody wants to Id
1t again."

REMOVES THORN FROM
SIDE OF HAIGs ARMY

London, June z 18:46 .. m)--The
Germans made prisoner in today's
fighting between Wytschaete and
Messines are expected to total more
than 900, according to Reuters
headquarters correspondent Already
more than 1900 prisoners have been
taken to the camps behind the front.
Tho dispatch from the correspondent
says:
"The battle begun today by the
second army under General Sir Her
bert c. o. Plummer was developed In
accordance with the plans. and was
brilliant success for the British arms.
Already 2.300 prisoners have ar
rived in the camps and there are ex-
pected to be over 1000 of them when
the tally is completed.
That the Germans were taken by
surprise is proved by the fact that
the Twenty-third Bavarian regiment
was being relieved at the moment
the attack opened.
Aerial observers report that the
enemy appears TO be massing his re-
serves in the vicinity Of warneton
and upon the Ypres-Comines road.
The Germans are bombarding the
center Of the Messines ridge, but not
very heavily"
More than 10000 pounds Of high
explosives had been place under the
German forward positions during the

ANOTHER ARREST IS MADE IN

Millard Coggin, Brother of Man Al

Ell Paso, Tex, June THE third
arrest in the Thomas Lyons murder
case was made late today when Mil
lard Coggin, a younger brother of Il.
j. Coggin, now under arrest in con-
nectlon with the murder, was arrest
ed by county officers. A charge OF

also charged with conspiracy to COM

nounced that the preliminary trial
would be held next Wednesday,
whereupon attorneys for Coggin post

Native production and imports from
other countries can meet but part
of these requirements; what is left
must come from us, yet this amount
Is far beyond any surplus that we
shall have II we try to maintain our
normal consumption. Our wheat
prospects for this year are not en-
couraging. A reasonable forecast
would indicate a crop of between
$4,000, 900 and 10O.0O0,0V0 bushels.
We have never exported more than
SOC, 900, 900 bushels of cereals in a
year, yet the needs abroad are for
twice that.
'The moral is clear; our consump-
ton must be reduced. This can be
done, first by elimination of waste;
second, by the substitution for the
kinds of food needed by the allies of
food not SO needed, but which we
can just as well use, as corn for
wheat, poultry and eggs for red meat
and so on; third, by voluntarily re-
stricting ourselves to a sufficient and
sensible ration, which, rather than
being hurtful. will be of advantage
TO us physically and if done at a lit
tie sacrifice of preference of taste or
inclination for a feeling of over-re-
pletion, will be of advantage to us
morally"

the British attack on Wytschaete
bend were heard by David Lloyd
George, the British premier, who was
staying for the night at his residence

when the preparations were perfected
the premier was acquainted with the

Accordingly, on retiring last night
Mr.. Lloyd George gave orders to be
called at o'clock this morning The
premier and other members of his
household clearly heard the tremen-
dous detonations, as also did persons
at the premier's official residence in
London. who supposed they were the
sounds of heavy guns until later they
learned from the dispatches that they
came from the explosion of mines.
