HUPMOBILE AGENCY

Ben Favorite Expected to Be II:
Sales Manager.

w. A. Macdonald. district mana
ger OF the Hup-motor corporation.
has contracted with the Berry Motor
Company to handle the Hupmobiie
line In Washington. This agency was
formerly in the hands OF ID. B. Gish,
Inc. In making this change the Hup-
motor Corporation felt that the Berry
Motor Company would be better fit-
ted to serve the Washington public
than their former representatives.
Ben Favorite, who was the sales
manager for d. B. Gish. will in all
probability assume that position with
the Berry Motor Company, as Mr..
Favorite 10 undoubtedly the best
posted Hupmobile salesman in Wash
ington and has many friends here
among present Hupmoblle owners
and many prospective buyers.

To Rebuild Highway
Through Delaware

The legislature Of Delaware granted
permission to Newcastle County to
borrow $4,000 for the purpose of re-
constructing that portion Of the
c-Philadelphia Pike running
through Delaware from the Maryland
line to the Pennsylvania line.
The supervision of this new con-
struction will be under the new High
way Commission Of Delaware. II is
understood that the new road will be
concrete base with fire-bick top.
The opinion of the attorney gen.
eral Of Delaware is that only white
lights will be permitted in that State.
This bars the use of amber or other
tinted or colored lenses In these

ANOTHER union
STEAMER MISSING

Still another Union freighter besides
the Wairuna is reported missing by
the officers of an Oceanic steamer In
port today. The Wairuna is the
freighter of which no trace has been
found since she sailed from Sydney
for San Francisco last June.
The second missing treighter is the
Matunga, a steamer of about the same
capacity as the Wairuna. She left
Sydney six or seven weeks after the
departure Of the Wairuna and has not
since been reported. j.. T.,
Like in the case of the Wairuna ii
is undecided whether to ascribe her
supposed loss to the Germans, through
the use of time bombs, operations of
a still unreported German raider in
the Southern Pacific or to the acts OF
unloyal Australian laborites.
Since last Christmas the Union
Steamship Co. has lost four or five
vessels. The cause of the destruction
of only one of them has been thor
oughly established. This was a
freighter which had to be abandoned
off the Samoan coast after a time
bomb exploded and ignited her coal
fuel. All the crew Of this vessel was
rescued. -~ -.

GUNBOAT VISITS
HAWAII ISLAND

i Especial Star BuiIstin lUrrasrOndsncs1
HILo, Oct. 26.--Arrivihg on q very
different mission to what she was In
$tended for when she first struck Ha
waiian waters, the former German
gunboat Geier, now the United States
gunboat Schurz, steamed into Hilo
harbor yesterday morning. The ar.
rival Of the war vessel was not ex.
pected and, of course, no word had
been sent out from Honolulu regarding
her departure from that port. The
Schurz is on q trial trip to see how
she behaves after the extensive re.
pairs that have been made to her hull
and machinery at the Pearl Harbor
naval station.
1t will be remembered that IN Jan.
uary last the Geier, which was at that
time interned in Honolulu, was set on
fire by her crew at the command of
their captain when it seemed certain
| that war was about to be declared
against Germany. At the same time
several German merchantmen were
badly damaged by their crews In, order
to disable them.
The Geier was towed to Pearl Har-
Dor and ever since has been undergo
ing extensive repairs. She is now un.
der her new name in splendid shape
and is In the service of Uncle Sam.
When the Schurz steamed into the
bay yesterday morning there were
many surmises as to what vessel she
was. The usual talk about q raider
was heard until the Stars and Stripes
we're seen flying at the masthead.
On the way to Hilo from Pearl Har.
Dor the guns of the Schurz were tried
out with two shots and were found to
be in good condition. The engines
worked well and are getting better at
every revolution. -s
Captain HenshaW is In command OF
the Schurz and he stated yesterday
that the run to Hilo was made In good
time. He and some of his officers
went to the Volcano yesterday for a
trip and some Of the men got shore
leave. EE@.
The Schurz will SAN for some un
know destination today sometime and
will give her engines further test.

DESCRIPTION of
SEEADLER given

An interesting description of the
German raider Seeadler, which went
on the rocks at Mopeha island in the
South Seas, is contained In an issue
Of the Army and Navy Journal some
months back, the description dealing
with the raider as she was known in
the Atlantic. 1t says: ..--
Information brought by the French
sailing vessel Cambronne, arriving at
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, on March 80, 1917,
shows, beyond a doubt, that German
commerce destroyer In addition to the
Moewe had managed to gain the high
seas, escaping from Germany via the
Arctic ocean route. The Cambronne
landed at Rio Janeiro 2S3 men and two
women prisoners taken by the COM
merce destroyer in question, the See
adler (Sea EagIeD from allied vessels
captured and destroyed by her in the
South Atlantic. The women were the
wives of captains of vessels destroyed.
THE Seeadler is described as an in
nocent looking three masted square
rugged sailing ship of about 5000 tons
equipped in addition to hAr sail with
vi vi $40 GA5IACog NdPoOIO vi b
her at IL knots. Her appearance dis.
armed all suspicion and at least eleven
allied merchant ships were destroyed
by the disguised German raider. The
men of the destroyed ships were taken
aboard the Seeadler, which also took
such part of the cargo as was desired.
The prisoners report that they were
not unkindly treated. ..>5.. b..
after the Seeadler became too
crowded with prisoners they were put
aboard the captured French sailing
ship Cambronne, whose top masts
were cut down and some of her sails
taken away in order that she might
not reach port too quickly to give
news about the Seeadler. The YES
sells captured we're destroyed by
bombs or gunfire.. +
This story checks up in detail with
that of Captain Halbor Smith told here
on his arrival from Samoa after ef-
fecting his escape from Mopeha is
land. He had cleaned it from the
captain of the Seeadler during the
long weeks after his vessel, the r. C.
Slade, was captured and until the
raider was blown ashore at Mopeha.

Contrary to expectations an Ocean.
ic liner is in port today without bear
ing any of the survivors Of the Ger
man raiders operations in the Pa
cific. The marooned men were ex-
pected to return to San Francisco By
way of this port. The explanation Is
given by the ships officers that when
the sailors and officers of the de-
stroyed schooners Manila, r. c. Shade
and A. B. Johnson were taken Off
Mopeha island they were landed at
Papeete, Tahiti. p
From there 1t is assumed they
were taken to San Francisco by a

Accompanying the French naval Of
ficer are his wife and a number Of
French sailors. One of the sailors is
a New Caledonian, who shows almost
as much interest in getting to France
as do the natives of that country.
Another detachment Of sailors
aboard the Oceanic liner are Amert
cans who have been on duty in Sd
moa, some of them for almost the
entire period of their four year en-
listment. One of them remarked this
morning, I'VE have been saying
never again in Samoa, but guess
most of us will reenlist when We get
near enough to the Atlantic so as to
be fairly certain Of not being sent
back to the Pacific until the war is
over" H.. -. -. +"

Page had as little knowledge of the
operations Of the German raider in
the South Pacific as did others on the
liner. They declared that no one In
Pago-Pago had heard any more about
the Lutece and the SO Germans
aboard her since Captain Haldor
Smith of the r. c. Slade left there
early this month.
Like the others aboard the ship.
they said the little boat in which Cap
tain Smith and three sailors made
the 1000 mile voyage from Mopeha
was still to be seen there. None Of
these American sailors had heard Of
any Japanese cruisers being In the
South Seas IN search of the German
raider. Neither did they credit the
Honolulu street report that a part of
the American Asiatic fleet was IN
those waters.
Captain j. H. Dawson, master Of
the ship, said he had heard in Sydney
that his vessel like others of Ameri-
can register was to be commander
ed by the government on October Is,
but that he had not been officially
notified that this had been done. He
was just a bit skeptical when told
this was true.
Robert S. Acheson, purser of the
vessel, says that the Australian gov.
eminent has won out in the strike
and that conditions are almost back
to normal, so far as labor conditions
are concerned in this country. An
other, a union labor sympathizer, ex'
pressed the opinion that the strikers
had been defeated as they deserved
for walking out without Just cause.
Now they are putting anyone to
work, whether they have card or
not" he declared. - .....
The Oceanic liner had three pas
sengers for Honolulu. They were J.
Tysk, S. Kjar and j. Franch. There
were only 60 through passengers in
all classes. Her cargo consisted of
$500 tons, much of which Is skins.
