MAUI SCHEDULE
FROM MAINLAND

That the new Matson flagship Maui
will pay A call to the people of the
Valley Island on her maiden voyage
became known yesterday when a mar
conigram was received by Manager
John H. Drew of the shipping depart
ment of Castle & Cooke, from the
Matson Navigation Company, giving
the schedule for her first voyage. 1t
is as follows:
Leave San Francisco Saturday,
April Z; arrive Honolulu Thursday,
April II, probably in the afternoon;
leave Honolulu Saturday, April Ia; ar
rive Kahului Sunday morning, April
Is; leave Kahului Sunday night, April
Is; arrive Hilo Monday morning,
April Is; leave Hilo Tuesday after
noon, April II; return to Honolulu
Wednesday morning. April IS; leave
Honolulu for San Francisco Thursday,
April 10, at 10 a. m.
The Maui's schedule for the first
voyage from San Francisco here is
one day less than the Matsonia's. 1t
is believed that the Maui will arrive
late in the afternoon, as did the Mat
MIA on her maiden voyage in 1913,
when she made the distance in five
days instead of the six she is allowed
by her present schedule.
The message adds that it is expect
ed the liner will be we'll filled with
passengers when she leaves San Fran
cisco.

Why the Germans Give
Ground Before British
and French
PURSUE FABIAN POLICY
Allies Have Been Gaining Continually
on Western Front Since the
Battle of the Somme.
PURSUE FABIAN POLICY
BY HENRY o

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
Since the beginning of the present of
fensive on the western front Ger
many's much Wanted "~unbreakable'
lines have been pierced time and time
again by the combined attacks of the
French artillery and infantry.
With the artillery concentrations
that France now has at her command
and which are bound to increase with
every month of the war, it has been
demonstrated that the German lines
can be pierced at any time and in
any place that the French military au-
thorities may choose.
| To meet this changed situation Ger
many has adopted a new fiction with
which to keep up the confidence of the
German public in the strength of the
German western front. Instead of
announcing now with each thrust for
ward of the French that his lines re-
main "unpierced," Hindenburg de-
clares that they have remained "un-
breakable" and as "%unbroken" as
yer.
Bends But Does Not Break.
The n thing that isn't explained is
that the line remains unbroken mere
ly because it bends, and that it bends
merely because it has been pierced.
AS a matter of fact practically every
large French attack at the present
time pierces the Germant front. This
the regiments and divisions at
the point where the French have gone
through, to fall back in order to keep
being encircled from behind.
Their falling back draws with them
he other German units with which
hey are in immediate contact. BY
/ general bending backwards of the
inc the Germans manage to close up
he gap, and are able to again an
iounce that their line has remained
'unbroken."
"Indian Rubber Front"
AS a result of repeated piercings-
nd piercings that began with the bat
lie of the Somme last ALPHABETICALLY
he entire German line in France from
IS barbed-wire and trench rightly of
n the form and consistency of an In
ian rubber front.
A general ,retreating movement
lovement has now beer imposed on
le Germans. 1t has been imposed by
speated piercings of the line-pierc-
lgs which the French with their
resent artillery concentrations are
BILE to keep up if necessary, until the
ltire German line, in order to keep
self "unbroken" wriggles and draws
ack until it is again within the bor-
srs of it's own country.
Line Grows Weaker.
When the Germans began their re-
eat from the Noyon salient as a re-
lit of the piercing of their lines by
Somme offensive, they were form
to abandon positions of a strength
hich it will never be possible for
to duplicate again on the western
ont.
Hand in hand with every step back
to less advantageous positions,
e strength of Germany's new elastic
ont also weakens. Each French
tack and each piercing weakness of
lines resistance as a whole.
While France is prepared if neces-
ry to keep up her present tactics of
posing a squirming retreat by the
Instant piercing of the lipe. she has
