SEASIDE GUESTS
dine At MOANA

A change has been effected at the
Moana and Seaside hotels at Waikiki
beach, which not only keeps both hos.
telries open during the slack summer
months but also affords more of a
diversion for guests of the Seaside.
The new plan is to allow Seaside resi-
dents the privilege of having their
dinners in the big Moana dining room.
If the Territorial Hotel Company
was looking only to its own profit
from day to day it could close the
Seaside resort during the summer and
transfer all its guests to the Moana
hotel but rather than cause any in
convenience or dissatisfaction among
its many guests elimination of the
dinners at the Seaside has followed
Many residents in the comfortable
Seaside cottages do not care to leave
them, and the hotel management has
no intention of requesting them to
do so. Breakfasts and lunches may
still be obtained at the Seaside dining
room, but dinners will be at the Mo-
ana along with the accompanying
music, concerts, dinner-dansants and
SO forth. Several Seaside residents
have already expressed their apprecia-
ton of the new idea.

MORE Time GIVEN
FOR MANOA WORK

After considerable investigation in
which voluminous documentary pro
tests, charges and answers played
an important part, the trouble over
the Manoa contract seems finally
settled.
At the meeting Of the board Of
supervisors last evening, following
the reading of a lengthy reCOuntinS
of the troubles which the contractor.
F. R. Richie & Company, claims it
has been subjected to because of the
interference of the engineers and at
torney's offices and an even more
lengthy report from the road COM
mittee and the engineer in answer,
the board decided to give the con-
tractor A more days to complete the
work eand reduce the daily laying Of
rock from 300 to 255 cubic yards.
This decision. was accepted by all
concerned and all that remains is
for the contractor to maintain the
prescribed rate of speed.
After the meeting Superintendent
Costello, of the Manoa job, stated
that the company had finally been
able to obtain additional rock from
the Honolulu Construction & Draying
Company and with the additional
equipment which was expected, it
was believed that the work would
be finished within contract time.

Coast Destroyed; Grain

London, May 2s-Hopes that have
been rising for several days that Russia
will soon take an effective part in tho
Allied offensive against the Teutons
we're strengthened to-day by news from
both Berlin and Petrograd.
Russo Rumanian attacks are expect
ed says an official statement from
Berlin. an several sectors Of the front

Petrograd makes no mention of this,

the Anatolan coast, destroyed the
Turkish post there and burned a store
of grain and two large sailboats. Two
other vessels were taken to Treblzond.
Germans Weak on East
Military observers believe that a
strong Russian attack at this time
especially one at all comparable to
Brusiloff's great offensive OF last June
would be the beginning of the end for
Germany The British, French and
Italian attacks have so tried the leu
tonic forces on the Western and South
ern fronts that large forces have been
withdrawn from the East. These have
been estimated as high as 100000 men.
II is certain that the Eastern lines are
now very weak, both in guns and men,
and that Germany cannot brace them
enough 20 withstand a determined at
tack without weakening the West front
beyond the danger point.
The Rumanian front extends along
the mountainous western frontier of
Moldavia, the northern province of Ru-
mania. and eastward across the south
ern edge of Moldavia to the Danube
south of Galatz.
Rumania Still in Fight
The Rumanian army has been virtu-
ally out Of the war since it's reverses
of the latter part of last year, when
nearly all of Wallachia was lost to the
Central Powers. While Russian troops
bore the brunt of holding the line
taken up along the Moldavian border,
the Rumanians were reported for the
most part to have been sent into the
interior, where they were being pre-
pared TO return to the field.
The blow struck Rumania's military
power by the campaigns of Generals
Won Falkenhayn and Won Mackensen
was a heavy one, but her government
announced a determination to continue
the struggle. Unlike Russia, Rumania
has had no difficulties over army dis
cipline to contend with, so far as is
known.
