Delay OF Red Cross
Membership Cards

Several inquiries have b n
received recently from those who
became members of American Red
Cross on the Fourth of July as
to the non-arrival of the member
ship cards and magazines from
Washington. The committees Of
the Lihue Auxiliary having the
matter in charge wishes to state
that all names received ON the
! Fourth were card -indexed and the
lists, after being held open for one
month, were. on the fourth of Aug
! ust, sent on to Headquarters at
Washington. Acknowledgement of
the receipt of the same was made
in letter to Mrs. C. A. Rice, Pre-
sident of the Lihue Auxiliary,
which was published in the Gard
en- Island" Of Sept. Is, 1917,
The office of the Red Cross at
! Washington has been ovcr-run
with business since America enter.
ed the war, and the membership
has increased from about $50, ,0GO
to over 5000, 600. The work of
National Headquarters at Washing
ton is also now being dccentralizcd
and is to be handled from thirteen
Division Headquarters. We have
been recently notified to communi-
cate with the San Francisco Office
instead of with Washington. All
this has caused delay in the issuing
of membership cards. We are in
formed ON good authority that such
acknowledgements are now being
received three months after h {
sending in Of the subscriptions. A
little patience on the part of sub
scribers is therefore requested.

Grand Liberty Loan
Rally at Lihue

Never has there been on this Is
land a larger, more democratic and
more successful gathering than that
on Liberty Loan day. and certainly
never one more patriotic.
The armory is big building; /;
there was seating capacity for some
$50 or over, which was filled TO over
flowing and practically all the avail
able standing space was occupied.
Altogether there were over 1900 peo-
pie. A goodly proportion of the great
audience came from distant parts OF
the Island all the way from Waini-
ha to Mana.
Half an hour of excellent band
music by the Kapaia band served to
put the gathering audience into a
favorable frame of mind.
Promptly on the hour the presl-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce
opened the meeting with an appro-
pirate introduction explaining the
object of the meeting and giving
notice that the Liberty Loan Bonds
might be subscribed for up to Fri
day morning.
Rev. A. Akana led the great audi
ence in an appropriate prayer after
which the school children sang in
large chorus formation. Hanamau-
lu, The Star Spangled Banner; Ii
hue, Now Pray We for Our Country
Kapaa, Its Up to You. This latter
was most original and taking
patriotic song. These were all eX.
ceedingly well rendered. The Ha-
waiian choir under the leadership
of Mr.. Akana then rendered War
ren's National Hymn with good
effect.
The speaker of the occasion Rev
Geo. Laughton, of Hilo, then de
livered his stirring Grafton on Patrio
tism; its plea and its power. The
address, in addition to the inspiring
qualities of eloquence and enthusi
asm, was also infused with a lofty
lmoral earnestness and intensit,
! which distinguished it from mos
ordinary patriotic addresses. 1t wa
greeted by frequent bursts of ap
plause at all the most telling points
The general singing of Americ;
closed the demonstration, which haC
the added merit of not being to-
long.

Halloween Party

A very pleasant Halloween dance
was given at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tracy of the Homesteads last
Saturday evening. T h living
room of the Tracy home was artisti-
cally and appropriately decorated
with fern and colored tissue paper
in which designs showing black
cats, owls and witches with brown
sticks predominated. The evening
was glorious one and the party
one to be long remembered by those
fortunate enough to be present
During the evening a grab bag add
ed interest to the occasion and nett
ed something over ten dollars,
which will be added to the Red
Cross fund.

LIBERTY BOND
DAY ADDRESS

Dr. Laughton's Grafton on Pa
triotism: its Plea and its Power''
delivered at the Armory, Lihue,
Oct "a was substantially as follows:
By patriotism | do not mean the
frothy bravado of Jingoism. / do
not mean that spirit which finds
expression in the bald songs of the
music hall, rather do | refer to that
high-strung jealous sentiment, that
love of country and fear for country
which find their highest express
sion in the writings of Isaiah and
Amos and many another prophet
and Psalmist.
When we read the history OF this
country we find that the men who
have so far guided its destinies have
been men who believed that the
first duty TO the fatherland must be
paid unto God They did not bring
God down to their level but they
raised themselves up to the level of
Gods demands upon them. In
other words the men who have
moulded the political history of
our nation were men who drank in
heroism at the wells of righeous-
ness.
Consider then the days chat are
past. There is a characteristic life
and splendor about the annals of
their country not found in the rec
ords of many nations. So when
you remember the men who to es-
cape religious expressions and poll
tical outrage in England, crossed
the wild Atlantic in boats the like
of which we would not dare to
cross this channel, behold them on
their arrival falling on their knees
in thankfulness to God, and dedica
ting the colony to his praise and
glory. Descend to later days-the
days of tho Revolution when terror
and tyranny swept the land, but
behold our fathers unafraid--hear
} one saying give me liberty or give
J me death" Hear another hurling
his defiance Sink or swim, live
or die, survive or perish-I'm for
the Declaration of Independence. 1"
Descend to still later days-Stand
on the blood stained field of Gettys-
burg, and hear Lincoln, the man
of sad lone spirit with an empire in
his brain, hear him urge his coun-
trymen to the supreme sacrifice
: that tins nation might live, and
travel further to our own day hear
Mckinley as | did in Buffalo say
ing. My brothers we must not
forget the God of our Fathers, He
it is who has made us what we are,
and He alone it is who can pre-
serve us. a." Think of these things,
| repeat, and when yoa remember
the long line of men and women,
Gods choicest aristocracy who have
been given to this country, it is
then you may raise your heads and
say Thank God tooam an Amer
lean" (Great applause).
VIII you notice that ! said women
/ too. For no man who is true to
, facts i'm his thinking can ignore the

Germany May Force
Her Allies Into
War With America
Washington Officials Announce
That Unless Austria, Turkey
and Bulgaria Compel Such a
Step Diplomatic Relations viii
Not Be Severed BY Nation
tAssoeiated PRESS 81 Federal wirsisss.)

WASHINGTON, April The
United States has no intention Of
severing relations with Austria,
Bulgaria and Turkey, allies OF
Germany, unless those nations
force such step, as is regarded
extremely likely.
This was learned from excellent
authority last night, just prior to
the formal declaration Of war by
the United States upon Germany,
1t was also learned that the Of
ficials Of the state department are
confident that the governments at
Gonstantinople, Sofia and Vienna,
will not be allowed to continue at
peace with this counry, If Ger
many can avoid such thing.
They are confident that the
Kaiser's ministers in Berlin are
prepared for the declaration Of
war by the United States and
have already niatured their plans
for dragging Austria into an open
break with America.
b b. .
Turkey Of course will act as she
is told to do by the Berlin author
ties, and probably will sever rela-
tions with Washington within a
short time, while the attitude Of
Vienna is also believed to have
been determined in Berlin for
some time,
