U-BOATS NOW EMPLOY
SMOKE SCREEN DEVICE

New York.-New German de-
vices for aiding U-boat frightful-
ness are reported by passengers
on an American liner just ar
rived In pert from England.
One is the use of smoke
screen In which the submarine
may conceal itself while attack
Ing, escaping or submerging.
The smoke screen has been used
for months by battleships, de-
stroyers and merchantmen. Its
first use by submarine was re-
ported In the warnings Of u
boat off the Atlantic coast.
The other device Is the use of
mirrored periscopes. BY coat
ing them with silver the peri
scopes reflect the surrounding
water and become invisible a
couple Of hundred yards away.
1t is believed this explains why
survivors of several ships lately
sunk saw no evidence Of a SUBJ
marine before or after the at
tack.

U. S. SAILORS STONED
SINN FEN RIOTERS In CORK AT
TACK AMERICAN SAILORS.

Cork, Ireland, Oct. 16.-Corre
spondence of the Associated Press:
The Sim Fein is keeping $4,000 a
week from the hands of the Cork
merchants. That amount was spent
each week for four months by Amer
lean naval officers and sailors. 1t
ceased when the Sim Feiners began
to attack the American blue Jackets,
and 1t will not be resumed until the
streets OF Cork are again made safe
for the Americans. At present no
naval man below the rank of de-
stroyer commander may visit Cork
without laying himself open to gen
eral courtmartial. The same rule ap-
plies to the British naval forces.
An appeal for the return of the
American sailors is made by Miss
Marie Lynch, who, as head of the
Poor League Guardians" made an
official investigation of various
charges which the Sim Fein leaders
brought against the American visit
ors. She said, in placing before the
public the result of her investigation

demonstrations which preceded tn
american decision to put Cork out o
bounds, says:

SAKE INVESTMENT
TOTALS 1 ! ! 100000

With close to 100000 invested in
the sake industry. the local japanese
are anxiously waiting for an answer
from Food Administrator Hoover, in
Washington, as to whether the manu-
facture Of sake or its importation
from Japan may be continued.
=. There are three sake breweries in
the territory which furnish sake to
II japanese liquor dealers on the Is.
land Of Oahu. and one each. on the
Islands of Maui and Kauai. ~
Three hundred men, 1t is said, are
constantly employed in these sake
breweries. These men have large fam
lilies, numbering about 1000. And
should the sake industry. be discontin.
ued under the national food control
law, then these japanese, naturally,
will be forced out of the employment
This matter, it is said. has been dis.
cussed quite fully by the japanese
business men and they felt 1t their
duty to cable the proper. authorities
in Washington with view Of hav.
ing the manufacture of sake uninter.

DR.. WAYSON SUGGESTS J..
FOOD INSPECTION BE
INCREASED TN NUMBER

Believing that the staff of meat and
food inspection in this city should be
increased in order that more eff
.eient safeguard may be kept on the
public health, DR.. J. T. Wayson, city
physician, has addressed communi.
cation to the board of supervisors. DR..
Wayson thinks that at least one in
spector should be detailed to examine
all eating places and restaurants on
the island. of Oahu. 49,. H..
The power of appointing food in.
spectors rests in the hands of the su.
pervisors, and it is merely a matter
of salary which would have to be con.
sidered. The present fish and poi
inspectors receive s9S a month. DR..
Wayson also advises that an inspec-
tor of weights and measures is needed
who could devote all his time to those
duties. At present Bob Lillis is weight
inspector, but combines those duties
with examiner of chauffeurs.' The
city physician does not criticize the
present work, but believes there
should be a man for each job, in or.
der that all his time may be devoted
to single duties.

Creation of a great committee OF the
business men of the country, repre-.
senting all branches of business and
industry to deal directly with the gov.
eminent in all purchases of var MUM,
tons and supplies and other war and
governmental necessities was the
broad and comprehensive rlan that
was suggested in resolutions before
the congress of business men called
to meet here by the United States
Chamber OF Commerce, at its session
yesterday. After considerable debate
the resolution was adopted by large
majority.
Along similar lines to the first res.
olution, but to represent the govern
ment, a second body was advocated
in another resolution which was
adopted. This resolution calls for
the naming by the government of a
central government purchasing agen-
cy to take over the functions of the
war industries board and the pur-
chasing departments of the army and
the navy. The plan appears to be to
form two. bodies in this way which
can deal with one another with con.
