Letters Tell Tale
1t is understood that months ago,
certain letters read by military cen
sors, passed between the officer in
question and Miss Berg. In one of
these the latter informer the German
officer of the fact that she was in
trouble, that she blamed herself as
much as she did him, and that she
would soon have to give up her work.
Later, this same officer wrote to a
German friend in town that he was at
last rid of the nurse who had been
bothering him.
DR.. Ludy's interests have been in
the hands of Attorney Frank Thomp-
son, and he, DR.. Ludy, has on the ad-
vice. Of counsel, refused at all times to
be interviewed.
Although DR.. Ludy's friends have
been much disturbed by the unenvi-
able notoriety given him in connec-
ton with this case, they have been I'M
willing to attempt to direct the pro-
gress Of the investigation. The fact
that the interned Germans are to be
sent out of the jurisdiction of the ter
ritorial courts in a few days, has led
to a request on the part of Captain
Ludy's friends that the civil author
tiles take steps to hold the suspected
German war prisoner till such time
az his possible connection with the
case be established or disproved.
The military authorities also pos
sess information tending to show that
strong pressure has been brought to
bear on certain private individuals
with the case by German
interests in Honolulu to shield the Ger
man officer in question and throw
the responsibility on an innocent per
son. ...

carry II to q successful victory, but
the National Guard Of Hawaii and is
land men subject to draft viii be
called to the colors only In the event
OF extreme emergency. Such In brief
are some of the observations OF the
delegate.
When Mr.. Kalanianaole left Wash
ington about q month ago he said 1t
was being urged on congress to get
through with the revenue bill and
other war measures 90 an adjourn
ment could be taken by the second
geek In September. He had no de-
finite opinion as TO the amount Of ex-
cess profit taxes which win be i'm.
posed BY congress, but believes that
whatever sum IS fixed by the senate
win b6 Increased by the house, which
he thinks Is more intent on making
the extremely rich individuals and big
corporations pay their share Of the
cost or the war.
PrchlhitIen Question B
Prohibition for Hawaii will not
come by an act OF congress unless
there Is q greater and more unani-
nous demand for It from the islands
than has been the case previously.
However, the nation, with Hawaii in-
cluded, might be made dry dur
ing the war, go far as distilled liquors
are concerned. sby q presidential order
as provided for in the food control
bill. he declares.
That no further action toward secur-
ing suffrage for the women Of Ha.
wall may be expected now, as con.
etess win be too busy with war de-
nds to consider the bill which was
i1trodnced by the delegate Is another
statement of Hawaii's representative.
Delegate Kphio professed to have
no information as to the probability Of
Gov. 4. e. Pinkham being reappointed,
although it Is reported he told an
other passenger aboard the Maui that
II seemed that the present governor
Of Hawaii Woold be renamed by the

the position or intefnti revenue col.

now in conference here, to work for
the good of the army and help them
to conquer the enemy
Peter Kwopatkin, one Of the dele
gates, in a powerful address, declared
that they must prevent Germany from
winning a victory over democracy.
Delegate Alexieff, speaking before
the national convention today, de-
clared that while the army under
the old regime was poorly equipped
with implements of war the troops
were deeply imbued with a warlike
spirit, whereas, the new army was
well supplied but had been complete
~ poisoned with ill-applied doctrines.
The actions of the soldiers commit

ample Of the terrible conditions now
found at the battlefront he told Of
one instance where 26 officers, 20
non-commissioned officers and two
priyates led an attack on the enemy
while the rest of the soldiers calmly
looked on and saw the attackers die to
a man without lifting a gun in their
behalf. The army, he declared, must
be regenerated, or Russia would be
lost.
Speaking on railroad transportation
the delegate declared traffic would
cease entirely by November unless the
tactics of railroad employees, who are
reported strongly organized, we're
changed. He made a strong appeal
to the patriotism of the railroad
unions to modify their demands. The
Jews, he decared, were loyal to the
