Aberdeen, Washington, reports the catching of an
eighty ton whale. A round steak off that fellow should
make a hearty meal for a small family. A mess of spare
ribs would make a feed for an orphan asylum.

An expert says there is whisky enough in the country
to last it five years. Just how this result is figured out
is unknown, but with the borders of this state watched
and the incoming steamers searched, there will not have
to be a very large supply to furnish Oregon's part for
twenty years.

Union labor is striking in all the Northwest %shipyards
for $500 minimum wage scale for eight hours work.
Probably if this demand was granted they would strike
for more pay and shorter hours, because every conces-
sion employers make to these fellows always brings a
demand for something else. Unionism is the greatest
menace of the nation at a time when war with foreign
powers calls for unity of all interests, because labor
union leaders, petted in the past by demagOgue politicians,
have been allowed to sow the seeds of anarchy and dis
loyalty, to nation and employer alike, without hinderance
in the past. The crop which has been sown in the intem-
perate u%tterances of irresponsible labor ~agitators, is be-
ing harvested in the "hold-up' of such vital war industries
as shipbuilding, numbering and copper mining.

GERMAN ESPIONAGE PROFOUNDLY STUPID

The German officials have deluded themselves into the
belief that they are of superior cunning. They have in
trigued promiscuously and up to the time America en-
tered the war apparently got away with most OF their
secret propaganda. Recently the administration has
shocked the self-satisfied officials by showing them that
their secret diplomacy was not at all secret. 1t published
things these officials had supposed were absolutely I'M
known to any but a select few. Instead OF being profound,
these exposures have shown the officials were only pro
foundry stupid. Not only have the contents OF tnelr
secret dispatches been published, but the letters OF the
principals in the combinations were themselves produced.
The famous Zimmerman dispatch trying to arralgn Mex
leo and Japan against the United States was the tlrst oD-
iect lesson given the Sef-SatiSfled ones. by the Time thlS
was thoroughly digested and the officials were again be-
ginning to congratulate themselves upon their superior
smartness, the letters from Luxburg to the home govern
ment advocating the murder of the citizens OF Argentine
again gave the over-lordS a shock. This was such a TAX
ing of the criminal with the goods on him, that the Ger
man press with all its nerve and its abundant faculty for
denying and explaining, did not even attempt to retute;
but contented itself with sneering at America as a user
of "stolen documents" Then came the publishing OF the
letter from Minister Won Eckhardt at Mexico City sug-
gesting the decoration of the Swedish charge d affairs in
that city for his services and "undisgulsed sympathy Tor
Germany" This letter was also published and 1t was
signed by Won Eckhardt. He denied having written such
a letter. He denied having had any dealings with the
Swedish representative and claimed to have but slight
acquaintance with him. This in spite of his own signature
which those publishing the letter say is genuine, and that
a comparison with his signature, which is available, clear
w shows this. American wits have been ranged against
those of the Germans and the latter has proved to be an
easy mark. 1t is doubtful if anything that has been done
concerning the war has had so wide an effect. Sweden
and Argentine were profoundly affected, and public Sentl-
ment in both has been turned against Germany. The
Democrats and socialists in Germany have been furnlshed
some powerful ammunition and they are using it to a
good purpose. It's greatest effect however, is IN the lear
it has awakened in the secret friends of Germany. The
exposure may end this kind of work by u%n-neutral
neutrals, and it will certainly make GermanyS emissarles
very shy about how they assist her hereafter.

Korean Killed By
Premature Blast
Charge ExplOdeS In Tunnel, Almost
Tearing Two WOrkmen To
PieCeS-0ne Dead

Last Monday night, while two Ko-
rcans were working in a tunnel in
connection with the trestle work at
Camp l on the road to Paia, there
was an explosion, as a result of which
one man, Shin Hi Chul, is dead and
his companion, Ito Chung, is in
doubtful state in, the Puunene hospi-
tai
A Japanese luna heard the explo-
sion and there was something about
it which caused him TO fear that all
was not right, SO he and some of his
men ran into the tunnel. There they
found both Koreans laid out, covered
with dust and smoke and badly torn.
Plantation officer Camara appeared
quickly and rushed the men to the
hospital, where Chul died a few hours
later.
1t was found impossible to gather
any details of the accident for the
reason that neither of the men was
sufficiently conscious to talk. They
were alone in the tunnel
A coroners jury was empanelled,
viewed the body and then adjourned
until such time as Ito Chung may be
able to tell them just what happened.
The jury consists of the following:
Manuel Dutro, II. NJ. Gessner, Ho
Chung Sing, VIM. Buck Apo A. Enos
and l.. B. Kaumeheiwa.

The Community
Christmas Tree
Thursday Evening
An Affair For All Children Of Wal
luku And NeighbOring Towns On
The Court House Grounds

The community Christmas tree of
Wailullu and the neighboring settle
ments of Waihee, Waiehu and Waika-
pu will take place in the courthouse
yard at $50 next Thursday evening,
if the weather is favorable. Should
there be rain the program will be
carried out in the armory.
1t is expected that 5000 people will
participate, from 1000 to 1000 being
children.
The part of the program in which
all join will consist Of the singing of
four Christmas carols and America"
The words of these carols may be
had from Mr.. Mathews, of the Alex
ander House Settlement. The
schools and a choir are already
practicing them, and it is hoped that
all will memorize the words before
December 20.
The purpose of the community
Christmas plan is to conserve expense
and to offer an opportunity for the
whole community to get together for
a common purpose.
On account of the strain incident
to war times, it has been decided to
limit the gifts to candy and oranges
or apples. Every child in the
gathering will be remembered in
this way.
1t is estimated that the whole cele-
bration will not cost more than 5000
Towards this everyone is asked to con-
tribute something. Contributions
may be sent or given to any of the
committee-L. r. Mathews, Ensign
Puck and Miss Judd.
All interested are invited to meet
with the committee at the town hall
at o'clock Monday afternoon.
