AMERICANS FORCED
TO MAKE REPORT
Entry of United States Into War as an
Ally of Great Britain Does Not
Free Them from Restraint
While in the Latter
Country.

London, June Correspondence -
Many Americans in London were sur
prised and disappointed when they
learned that when the United States
entered the war they were not automati-
cally relieved OF the necessity of observ
ing the British police regulations affect
ing aliens. This is especially true of
the Americans who have arrived here
since the early part OF 1915. These must
report their movements to the authorities
just as all other aliens, whether allies or
neutrals, are required to do.
There is a considerable amount of red
tape involved in the police regulations
and no sooner had the United States
thrown in its lot on the side of the en-
tente allies than many Americans got the
that they would be relieved of
this war time necessity. When they
found out that their status in this re-
spect remained unchanged by the turn of
events many of them appealed to the
United States embassy and consulate for
further information. They were told
that there was no indication OF any
change.
Every American who has arrived here

London, June Noncompliance
Public nurseries, patterned after those
in operation in so many OF the poorer

mutton workers are cared for in these
institutions.
Mothers working by day bring their
babies to the nursery every morning and
| call for them in the evening. Infants
whose mothers are on night work remain
| from Sunday evening until Saturday
morning. Twelve cents day is paid
by mothers for each child, and fourteen
cents is contributed by the ministry of
munitions.
| One OF these nurseries in the London
area is very wen fitted up. Here the
children are divided into two classes
babies and toddlers from two to five

STARS AND STRIPES POPULAR
But American Flags Are Very Scarce in
Rome.

Rome, June THE Stars and Stripes
has become decidedly popular since the
entry of the United States into the war,
but the scarcity of the American flag
prevents its display in many of the pub
lie places where are hung together the
flags of all the allies. In one street
demonstration that took place the day
the United States declared war an old
flag was resurrected for the occasion
carrying but "a stars, the flag having
been made in Baltimore before the Civil
war.
During a demonstration that occurred
before the American embassy several
hundreds of button hole flags, prepared
for the occasion, were tossed into the
crowd and since that time these tiny
flags have been worn about Rome.

what Italy is doing in the war and,

and correct century-old impressions en-

who live in Italy, their qualities, and
their ambitions.
The navy publicity office also is at

of the Italian merchant marine, showing
that country almost surrounded by the

a staff of dozen newspaper writers, who
make it their business to travel with dit

FOR WEEK ENDING DEC. 2.

Of the small white beans received from
Maui are not graded and very dirty.
Farmers wishing to get good returns
on their produce, should see that their
produce is properly graded. cleaned
and packed before shipping to the
market, This will help them as we'll
as the market and give the island pro-
duce a good name.
Sweet potatoes are not plentiful as
they have been for the past few weeks
but We still have a good supply Of
them coming in.
Lines are scarce and the demand is
good. Any one having lines should
ship them Immediately.
A small shipment of island Irish
potatoes was received during the
week. Next week We expect to receive
large shipment Of Irish potatoes
from Kauai
BY closing the retail departments
we have more time to give to the

There is no small yellow corn in
the market and very little large island
corn. Anyone having corn for sale
should ship it to the market as soon
as possible.
The shipments OF Maui beans are
increasing and selling faster than
they have been for some time past;
Maui red beans are selling from $3.50
to $500. while calico beans are selling
from $1,000 to $11.00 a hundred. The
reason for the calico beans selling so
high Is that there are very few in the
market. as most Of the Maui farmers
are raising red beans this year.
During the week q shipment of Maui
beans was sent to the coast by one
Of the local firms. We hope that all
the island people will use island beans
so that 1t will not be necessary for
anyone else to make shipments to the
coast
A shipment Of very good small white
beans was received from Maui and
sold for $3.50 a hundred. Shipments
Of small white beans that are we'll
