HILO preparing FOR
MARATHON RACE
Fifteen Honolulu and Oahu Or
CARNATIONS May Send Teams
To BIG Island

H1I.O, Hawaii, November 30--In
spite of the Indictment weather last
Sunday, the Kilauea team had its mem.
bers out at six in the morning and at
two in the afternoon, on the road train.
ing hard for the Kilauea, Hilo relay
race, which is TO take place on Janu-
airy Z next. Many indeed were sur.
prised 10 see this undaunted bunch Of
promising youngsters defying the cold
wind, mud and rain to put themselves
in trim for the coming race.
So far only one team from Hilo is
assured Of entering the race. It Is
said that at least five teams will be
sent to Honolulu 20 take part in the
race, and II Is too bad IL Hilo cannot
make up three teams. Surely there is
enough material to make up that many
teams. 80
What is the matter with the Hilo
Yacht Club II has among its members
some fine athletes who should give a
good account Of themselves in race.
And the basketball clubs should, be
able to select from among their play
ers another team. There is no reason
to be frightened of the Kilauea team,
for they are only human, though they
10 possess lot of grit.
National Guard May Enter
When the national guard boys re.
turn they may enter q team, for their
athletic officers, George Deshn, is very
keenly interested in the coming relay
race. If Hilo cannot get together sew.
eraf good teams, then all the best run.
Gers belonging to the different clubs
should combine and form one strong
team to cope with the best team that
Honolulu can send
II cannot be expected that Hilo with
Its few clubs can get together as many
teams as Honolulu, but it can be de-
pended upon that II Hilo only has one
team in the race that II will give Homo.
lulu, including Joe Stickney's all.star
long distance runners, the run of their
lives.
Kilauea Team, Hilo's Bear
Pearl Helbush, captain of the Kilau-
ca team, wishes IL known that although
he has his men lined up, the try outs
that are to take place on December 9,
in place of December 2, will determine
the final makeup of the team. These
try outs viii be open to all, and es.
pecially to any who may be in training
secretly as Ozark horses.
The changing of the date of the
race from january to Monday, the
seventh meets with the hearty approval
of the members of the Kilauea team.
1t is sincerely hoped that com
missioner will soon be appointed to
take charge of all local A. A. U. mat

Papers and Books Show Friend
ship With Defendant

When Saranghadhar Das, sugar mill
chemist ut the Paia Plantation, Maui,
aud his wife, who are wanted as wit
nesses in the Hindu plot trial In San
Francisco, sailed for the mainland re.
Gently they did so minus the bulk Of their
personal baggage, thIee suit cases and
a wooden box having been left on the
wharf Mt Lahaina in the rush to catch
the, inter-island steamer. Instructions
were left by Das to turn the baggage
over to United States Marshal j. j.
Smiddy. .. N.....gE g
An inspection of the suit cases was
made yesterday by the marshal who
found that, in addition to the suBpoenas
summoning Das and his wife to the
mainland, and the evidence Das was
ordered to produce at the trial, there
were a number OF books, which bore
the signature of "Taraknath Das",
one of the persons indicted in the
Hindu plot conspiracy. Among the
volumes were the following: myths
Of the Hindus and BuddlAsts"; "Se-
cret History of the English Oeeupa-
ton of Egypt; ''The Prince of
Machiavelh y, and "The Theory Of
the Leisure Glass; Copious notes
were made on the margins Of the books
and many passages underlined. D..
Despite the similarity of the names,
Marshal Smiddy said yesterday that
the local Das maintains he is not re.
lated TO the Das who is defendant in
the Hindu plot expose. Letters in the
baggage, however, indicate that the
two men are at least good friends.
Reference is also made in several of the
letters to the case now being tried in
San Francisco. ..... 81 ~

BLACKM0N URGES LESS TALK AND MORE
 ACTION ID AID U. s.

Washington, April 12.-(Special.) )-Repre- sentative Blackmon of the Fourth Ala bama called upon the probate judges Of the counties of his district today to con- vene the farmers for the purpose of urg- ing them to produce the coming season an abundance of foodstuffs
 So serious has become the situation that MT. Blackmon insists that everybody abandon talk for action. If the farmers of his district take his advice the Fourth will lead the other districts of the state.
 MT. Blackmon, in his telegram, urged that farmers in convention to be held in each of the counties, be advised of the necessity of converting every adapta ble acre into plats for the growing of peas, beans, potatoes and corn. The represen- tative declared that for each of these foodstuffs, abnormal prices will soon be available.

Officials here see in the Austrian and Bulgarian action merely an ex- pression of weariness with the war and anxiety to bring it to an end without, however, involving any in- dication of desperation on their part which would make them propose terms acceptable to the entente. As a result there is every evidence that the efforts do not offer hope of real negotiations in the near future.
 Independent soundings by Austria and Bulgaria, even if entirely tentative, have attracted interest here, however, as showing the dissatisfaction of those two governments with the course of the war and their apparent anxiety to negotiate directly and not through the medium of Germany As both these countries are

It also showed that he had been loyal citizen of the United States since 1870. Another report was that prominent merchant of Montgomery had been arrested for seditious utter nnces. An investigation showed that he not only had been an American cit izen for many years but that his son at his request enlisted in the American navy two weeks ago, seriously crip- -1ing his business because the son had been the organizations outside man for several years.

 MT. Carter borrowed one of Miss Rankins franks, and fin the envelope. enclosed to his wife in Massachusetts, n government bulletin on "How to Rear Babies.' The letter enclosed was typewritten and unsigned.
 It was natural thnt Mrs. Carter should have reached the erroneous conclusion that Miss Rankin had sent the bulletin. The joke is found in the fact that MT. and Mrs. Carter have been married 25 years. and no child has blessed the union.
 Just what Mrs. Carter will think of Miss Rankin will be a development of the future.

British and French ships now on this patrol duty will be withdrawn as soon as the American forces have their lines established. The American squadrons will operate from British and French bases in the south Atlantic wherever necessary.
 This was learned today in connec- tion with the announcement that Vice Admiral M. E. Browning of the British of the French navy are in Washington conferrng with Secretary Daniels, Ad miral Benson. chief of naval opera tions, and other officers of the Ameri- can navy. The conferences have been to do with the part the American fleet will play in the war either immediately or later, when its strength in light patrol craft and trained men has been increased.
 The British and French forces off the American coasts. it is known, have expected that Germany would extend her submarine operations to these wa ters Arrangements to patrol vigorous ly the approaches to the chief Ameri- can harbors have been made and will be carried out by American ships. It has been expected that Germany would , formally announcesa submarine block ade of Boston, New York. the mouth of the Delaware, the mouth of the Chesapeak, Charleston and Savannah. These are the arteries through which go the main supplies for Europe.
 Unless blockade is declared, in line with her previous action, Germany would be under the necessity of giving warning before attacking merchant craft under neutral flags.
 Many navy officers doubt that any considerable number of German sub marines can be spared from the task of blockading the British isles for work on this side of the Atlantic. Sporadic operations within such pre- scribed areas are looked for. however. and no precaution to guard against them will be overlooked.
 The navy department has consid erable supply of submarine trap nets already available and more will be de- livered within a few days. It is as sumed that the approaches to Ameri- can harbors will be fully protected.
 The conferences with the visiting of ficers have dealt with many subjects.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-13

reported to be more eager for peace than their more powerful ally, a degree of hope is felt that their exigencies may force Germany to more moderate stand and bring the day of peace nearer.
 Austria is known to have been deeply affected by the Russian revolution. It is generally felt there that the central em pires have reached the maximum of their military strength, and it is feared the up heaval across the border may find de- cided echo among Austria's conglomerate and disaffected peoples. Food conditions in Austria are serious.
 Bulgaria, likewise, is troubled by food shortage and the Russian revolution. The latter has brought again to the surface the old friendliness for Russian people and has injected into the question the decision of the ruling class to fight against their liberator.

"The advent of the United States into the war, he said, "gives the final stamp to the character of the conflict as a struggle against autocracy throughout the world"
 It was a stirring day, for the taking up of arms by America was celebrated by two notable assemblages, one under the auspices of the American Luncheon club. and the other dinner by the Pilgrims club in honor of American Ambassa dor Walter Hines Page. Vscount Bryce. the former ambassador at Washington, presided at the dinner to MT. Page and delivered an eloquent oration.
 WAS IN FINE FORM
 Premier Lloyd George always forceful and epigrammatic. was never in finer form and his ringing words struck re- sponsive chord among those who had met to cheers. There were toasts to the President of the United States and the King of England, and wonderful display of rejoicing over the sealing of the bond of friendship between the United States and England and France ana the other allies in the acceptance by America of the gauge of battle
 LIBERTY ALWAYS ''The United States of America, of nobles tfadition never broken. never nave engaged in war except of liberty" de- clared the premier. That it has made up it's mina finally makes it abundantly clear to the world that this is great fight for human liberty"
 Again, he said, Prussia is not de- mocracy. The Kaiser promises that it will be democracy after the war. l think he is right"
 Describing Prussia as an nation, the premier said it had it's great institutions, it's great universities and it's science. But all these were subordinated to the one
