Of the furniture, but with all of their
efforts some was lost. Fortunately
the wind was in the proper direction
so as not to endanger the nearby
houses.
1t is thought that the fire originated
from firecracker getting in the dr.
leaves under the heavy vines that
covered the roof, and this later was
famed by the hard wind and broke
into a flame. q,
Mr.. and Mrs. Kinney were in Homo
lulu visiting friends and had starte1
for Waialua when the fire broke out.
The building was insured by the
Waialua plantation, and 1t is thought
that the furniture was also insured.

SEES IN NEWEST RUSSIAN WAR HERO
PROBABLE. PRESIDENT OF REPUBLIC

The minimum socialists are of about
the same political faith as the peas
ants who want to gain possession OF
the vast estates but who would pay
reasonable prices for them. The mini
mum socialists feel the same way to-
wards the factories, while another
powerful party, the maximum or rad
ical socialists, would confiscate every
thing with no compensation.
Man Of Great Vision
Kerenski is q man Of great vision,
according to Krymoff, and is popular
with the majority of the Russians who
trust him implicitly; also with a num-
Der OF the opposing parties. Krymoff
says it is not at all unlikely that even
tually as the president of the Russian
republic Kerenski will straighten out
the whole tangled situation and place
Russia at the fore Of the nations.
Krymoff has also told the Star
Bulletin that Russians generally wish
to carry on the war and will likely
do so, and he points to their latest
drive as proof. He smiles happily
when he says: That's a pretty big
WIuHtnS-1obVVo pIISOHoTS' DuL wall
until we get going!"
The editor has received one cheer
full message since he has been here
from friend in Japan, who says that
conditions in Russia are much improv-
ed. Freight congestion Is still bad at
Vladivostok, however, and a govern
ment order has prohibited the move
ment of anything but munitions.
There are not enough railway cars
even for this.
As an indication of the growth of
socialism in Petrograd, Krymoff points
out that at the last municipal cleo
ton recently $4,000 socialist, 10000
capitalist and 10000 royalist votes
were cast out of total of 100000. The
capitalists include the moneyed class,
and the royalists, those still faithful
to the royal family.

CIVIC CONVENTION TO
BE HELD WITH FURORE

Regardless of the war and the
movement to economic, the members
of the civic convention which met this
morning for their regular weekly ses
sion voted to carry out the plans for
the convention to the fullest extent
and go even stronger than in former
years If possible.
They took this stand because Pres
ident Wilson in a cable to the New
York Merchants Association inform
ed them that no cessation of such act
iVities should be sanctioned.
The committee plans to interest as
many people as possible on the other
islands, particularly those places far,
theet from Honolulu, in order that
every locality will send representa-,

city attorneys office advising the
board to suspend operations pending
a supreme court decision on Circuit
Judge Ashford's decision holding that

ton act isa1nconstitutionaL
Attorney Davis said today that he
has no idea regarding what action the
board may take. He points out, how
ever, that the opinion handed down
by the city attorneys office was re-
quested, and that the board may
either abide by 1t or continue its op-
erations in spite Of the Ashford de-
eision. - - ~.

Feats of Minister Kerenski
Bring Joy to Petrograd
Editor Now in Honolulu

The present Russian offensive, dis
playing as it has the powers Of lead
ership and organization Of War Min
lister Kerensh, has brought :1y to one
man in Honolulu. He Is v. Krymon.
prominent Russian journalist and Pc.
trograd editor, now visitor at the Mo
ana; hotel.
In an interview with the StarBulle-
tin on the day Of his arrival here from
Russia some two weeks ago. Mr.. Kry.
moff gave it as hts opinion that one
of the biggest men in, Russia today
Is Minister Kerenski. Krymoff be-
lieyes that Kerensh is destined to be-
come the biggest man and greatest
statesman In Russia under the new
regime. and looks to him to bring
about unity and solidarity of organize
ton which If accomplished he believes
win mean the overthrow Of the Ger.
man military domination of Poland
and Galicia. Eventually he kinks
Kerenski will be chosen president Of
the Russian republic.
kerenskl Leads Charge
1t was Kerenski who led in person
the recent brilliant charge of the Rus
slams that resulted In the capture Of
about $1,000 German prisoners, and
delighted" was no name for how Kry.
moff felt when he read the dispatches
telling Of the great Russian success.
t Az Krymoff explains, Kerenski. who
was made minister of the army and
navy since Krymoff's departure from
Russia, belongs to the minimum So
ctalist party which is socialistic in be-
lief and moderate in its application
of its theories. Besides Kerensli there
are six others OF this same party In a
ministry Of fifteeri. - -

ton for Dr.. Judd's work in France.
As one looks upon and hears about
the French blesse> who have come to
the hospitals and gone from the cured
or almost miraculously bettered, II
does seem as II paltry thing like
money should not stand in the way Of
further service of the sort.
Yet the work can not go on without
means. Although the doctors, nurses
and other assistants are engaged In q
humanitarian work, and many hands
contribute, still more money is need
ed. DR.. Judd personally has been able
to collect over $4,000 for the cause.
The other night SO was added-and
every little counts.
We were shown the pictures of
three legless men leaning on clutches,
with faces indicating their detection
over their crippled future, then a pic
ture of them QUILTED with American
legs which they could use to advant-
age. What a changed expression on
their faces!
Money buys these legs.
Then there are those whose eyes
are darkened, and whose normal act
ivities have been cut short for life.
These and their families need help.
Is it any wonder that men privileg-
ed to serve with the skill DR.. Judd has
shown should feel almost useless
away from the front?
We Of Hawaii mel whose hearts
have been stirred with pity for the
sufferers in France and elsewhere,
and whose active participation in the
work must be limited, feel proud to
know that q son Of Hawaii can be
their proxy.
Let US give him the support he
needs!
If we can collect hundreds Of thou
sands for the convenience Of our sol.
diers in Honolulu, surely we can give
some more for the suffering soldiers
of France!

HNIIt5K1 1II II T TNH4I4 I J By Louise Clarke Pynelle Illustra f

By Louise Clarke Pynelle. Illustrated
 Harper Brothers, publishers.
 With the same quaint humor and charm which have made "Diddle, Dumps and Tot" so famous, Mrs. Clarke Pyr- nele has written this delightful story of a little girl, who lived on a plantation in Alabama in the old days before the civil war.
 The author pictures lovingly the life of old plantation days. the delightful ex- periences of faithful servants and the thrilling story of great flood. It is a picture from history as well as story telling, written from the heart of one who knew and loved that picturesque life.

THE ROAD TO UNDERSTANDING

THE ROAD TO UNDERSTANDING" By Eleanor H. Porter; illustrated in
 color by Mary G. Blum enschein
 Houghton Mifflin company publish
 CTS, Park street Boston.
 The author of "Just David" and Pol 1yanna" has created two of the most famous child characters in fiction. In 'The Road to Understanding" she shows equal insight into the hearts of children of a larger growth.
 It was to be expected that the author of books that have called forth expres- sions of gratitude from all the world would, sooner or later, write really grown up" novel even more absorb ing than her stories of childhood. "The Road to Understanding" Mrs. Porters new book, is the fulfllment of that expectation. It is the story Of two young people, one rich, the other poor, who fall in love, and marry in haste to repent at leisure. Its 8 long lane that has no turning" and the turning to the Road to Understanding came at last through their young daughter. one of the most charming characters that Mrs Porter has ever created. We be-
 
 is a story remarkable both for it's un- derstanding of the viewpoint of every day men and women, and for the inspir- ing of love and marriage.
 A great many people will say after reading the book, Mrs. Porter must have meant the story as sermon against hasty marriage" Indeed she abhors preaching" and none of her books has been intended as a pill of preaching with a sugar coating of nar- rative. And so she says, emphatlcally, that "The Road to Understanding" is ~ ~simply story of two young people, their marriage, the great problem they faced and their ultimate solution of it.
 Nevertheless although Mrs. Porter did not intend it, there is a message in the book and one that will give many people food for thought. It is there be- cause of Mrs. Porter's own knowledge of human nature, and because of the deep spirituality which exists behind her optimism. Many novels of late years take it for granted that if two young people do not make an immediate sue cess of marriage, they have sufficient reason for a divorce. Mrs. Porter be- .lieyes that people should stop making the little things big, and the big things little, and that obligations should not be lightly thrown aside. She believes that there is strong and dangerous tendency toward allowing the desire to have ones cake and eat it, too, to con quer the better instincts.
 All these ideas Mrs Porter has woven into her story Even her admirers who found inspiration and courage in Just David' and in her earlier books, will be surprised and delighted at the breadth and strength of the new novel, which seems destined to surpass even her previous successes in popular ap- peal as it does in permaennt value.

head. The next day some Poles. on their way to work, picked up his mangled body at Dead Mans crossing and car ried it to the home of the Catholic priest Nursed back to health, Slippy awoke one morning to find himself crip- pied for life. Slowly during the years that followed, Slippy Melee, the notori- Ious yeggman, was transformed, through his love for little girl into John Flint. naturalist and Butterfly Man" And year by year, the Butterfly Man wins the respect of the rich, the de- votion of the poor, and the love and admiration of those who took him in as a homeless, unprepossessing tramp. Woven into the story of his life is the life of the entire town-and the love story of Mary Virginia. At the end the old priest and the one-time burglar cooperate in a glorious job of safe- cracking on behalf of Mary Virginia, which jeopardizes their regulations but thrills their souls.
 Marie Conway Oemler is a southern woman, born in Savannah, where she went to school. Her life has been spent amid just such surroundings and char acters as she describes. Her training for her career she received from her maternal grandmother, who taught her in early childhood all the Irish folk lore; and from her paternal grandfath- CT, distinguished surgeon and natur- alist, whose barn-like house was filled with all sorts of things" and whose private room was a source of terror and delight.
 Mrs. Oemler says of herself that she has three passions-black cats, but terfiies and the Bible. Although this is her first published book, her short stories and poetry have appeared in many of the magazines.

 Nicholas Danver, a recluse, granted py his doctor scant F months of life. awakes to a great opportunity for good, and formulates a scheme as wise as it seems eccentric. The prize offered to the man who is asked to cooperate with him is so great that refusal is impos- sible, though the risk is great. All of Leslie Moores charm of telling, and all the sympathetic skill with which she weaves a love sorry are in this tale, the scenes of which are laid in South Africa and on an English estate.
