SECOND LIBERTY BONDS
BEING. DISTRIBUTED AS
IL. FAST AS Is POSSIBLE

Word to the effect that Liberty
bonds are being distributed Just as
fast as possible has been received by
the Bank of Hawaii from the Federal
Reserve Bank in San Francisco. SUB:
scribers to the loan have been calling
upon their banks for the securities and
the banks in turn have been asking
the reserve banks for the bonds. The
letter in part reads:
Elm order to obviate the necessity
Of specifically replying to many in.
quiries which are coming to US from
the banks in this district as to when
they may expect the shipment Of four
per cent Liberty loan bonds, you are
informed that we have been shipping
out these bonds from day to day in as
large amounts as shipments received
by US from the treasury department
will permit.
The supply of bonds of the Second
Liberty loan thus far received from
is insufficient to cover
the requirements Of the subscriptions
for which full payment was received
by the Federal Reserve bank of San
Francisco prior to November 18th, con.
sequently deliveries covering sub.
scriptions. paid in full as of December

ARMY may DEAL
WITH SOLDIERS IN
STATUTORY CASES

If Brig. Gen. ]. P. Wiser, command
ing the Hawaiian department, is will
ing that the army authorities should
take charge OF and try by court mar
tial all cases of soldiers charged with
the commission of statutory offenses,
L. S. Attorney S. c. Huber will rec
ommend that this action be taken.
Attorney Huber made this an
nouncemeRt today in the course OF
comment on the expose by the juve-
nile court of cases in which young
Hawaiian girls are alleged to have
been sold into lives of shame by wo-
men acting as procurers. The case Of
one woman, declared to be procurer,
has already been brought to Attorney
Huber's attention, and he Is making
a careful investigation. Juvenile court
officials claim that soldiers are among
the persons to whom these girls have
been sold"
Attorney Huber is to confer with
General Wiser on this matter in the
near future. He pointed out today
that It has been the disposition of To-
cal courts to let the military deal with
and punish by court martial those
cases involving soldiers which, prior
to the war, were handled by the civil
tribunals.

RAIL
AGENCIES MAY
Be ELIMINATED
Government Communicating
of Roads Does Away With
Competitive Feature; Gen.
eral Representative May Be
Named for Hawaii

Today at noon with the comman-
deering Of all continental railroads by
the United States government, under
fiat OF President Wilson, all individual
railroad agencies and connections in
Honolulu of mainland railroads aoc
their employees passed under govern
mental control .
Just what effect locally the taking
over Of the railroads by the govern
ment will have is as yet indefinite. 1t
is believed, however, that with the
competitive feature eliminated, which
Is one Of the chief objects OF govern
mental control, all railroad agencies in
Honolulu VIII close. There are three
active agencies here, the Santa Fee,
represented by H. E. Vernon; the
Southern Pacific, represented by
Wells-Fargo & Co., and the Western
Pacific represented by F. L. Waldron,
Ltd.
Just what course will be pursued
under the new order Of things Is un'
known as none Of the above agencies
had up to noon today been advised by
their mainland offices.
1t has been suggested by local men
familiar with the railroad business
that the logical course to be followed
here would be to have a general rail-
road representative who would handle
all railroad business, passenger and
freight, not for any individual line, but
as the representative Of the govern
ment, for all lines. Should this be
done, 1t would Of itself do away with
the necessity Of maintaining individual
agencies, as under the new system the
need Of competition has passed away.
How the naturalization of the rail-
roads Of the United States would help
the Hawaii Promotion Committee and
also similar organizations throughout
the country, by the Capitalization Of
all offices Of all railroads entering a
city, besides simplifying the distribu-
ton of extension literature, was point
ed out this morning by Fred ]. Halton,
secretary Of the promotion committee.
at present" said Mr.. Halton, I'VE
are forced to send literature to all the
different railroad offices in all the
cities, which is an enormous work, but
now IL the management of the rail-
roads In each city is concentrated in
one office our work will be lessened
and the publicity greatly increased"

Coin Fails BOIte
In Effort to Save
German Rendezvous

Teutonic strategy has once more
been overcome by Anglo-Saxon tenac.
fly OF purpose. It's q sad or funny
story according 70 ones point OF view.
The story starts where Fred Harri-
son requested the trustees Of the
knights Of Pythias to no longer permit
the rental Of the lodge hall in the
building bearing his name to German
societies, particularly the Hermann's
Soehne.
The comedy, or tragedy, Of the plot
appears when It Is made known that
C. Bolte, treasurer Of the German So
oiety. attempted to save the hall for
the Teutonic society meetings by rush
ing to the treasurer Of the knights Of
Pythias and rendering $3.50, three
months rent In advance. All this hap
pened yesterday afternoon, shortly
after the publication OF Fred Harri
sons letter In the Star-Bulletin, re-.
questing that the German society be
elected.
The trustees Of the Honolulu Mystic
lodge Of the Knights Of Pythias voted
unanimously this morning not to sub.
let their hall to any German society.
incidentally the German American
alliance has not been holding meetings
in public hall since It fell into dis
repute, but IL reported still to be hold
Ing secret and private meetings.
II was reports or pro-German re-
marks and unpatriotc expressions at
meetings Of the Hermann's Soehne,
rather than just sentiment. 1t is said,
which caused Fred Harrison to de-
eide his lodge hail should no longer be
used by o German society.
