MERCHANT SHIPS MUST
 DON WAR ARMOR
(By United Press.)

Washington, Oct. 2.-Beginning to- day every vessel leaving the United States for European and Mediter- ranean ports will have to obey Treas ury Department regulations relative to armament, fuel and smoke screens and painting to obtain invisibilitv which have been adopted as a part of the plans of this country and the allies for dealing with the German sub- marine menace.
 The vessels must be armed in ac- cordance with the recommendations of the Navy Department. The Blu reau of War Risk Insurance will charge an additional rate of one Der cent on each voyage oe vessels failing to comply with this requirement.
 Each vessel must be painted in ac- cordance with one of the systems that are recommended by the Ship Protec- tion committee of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Shipowners are free to select any one of the approved methods of painting their vessels but it must first be submitted to and re- ceive the approval of the chairman of the Naval Conculting Board.
 Each steamer at time of sailing from the United States must carry a sufficient supply of approved smoke less fuel to carry her for not less than two daylight periods, this coal to be used during the daylight runs while within the submarine zone. Steamers equipped with an approved system whereby the vessel may be operated without the emission of visible smoke from her stacks is relieved from the above requirement.
 All vessels must carry on deck one dozen approved smoke boxes, which will evolve smoke when thrown over board thereby increasing the vessels chance of escaping behind the wall of smoke.
 The War Risk Insurance Bureau re- serves the right to decline to insure vessels whose owners have not, in the opinion of the bureau, made satis- factory effort to comply with these requirements.

 Sitting in the picturesque garden of his eighth century home, overlooking the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Verulamium, Mcguire read in his evening paper that the Sammies were on the morrow to parade in London in force. Next day he was among the first and noisiest of the record break ing crowd in Trafalgar Square that cheered the passing Sammies.
 Only few days previous he had had an argument with mind ed fellow townsman concerning Amer ica's coming in. The latter had opined that Uncle Sam was actuated by dollar motives and had held off until he was sure that with his assistance the allies would win. Retorted Ma guire:
 "That's no way way for the likes of you to talk When America says she isn't after indemnity or trritory, what grounds have you-especially you for such an ungrateful assertion? |?

Don't you think America shows her unselfshness when she says she is willing to pour out her blood and treasure, and is sending her sons of the Pilgrim Fathers, the Irish exiles, the Scotch Crofters and English art- sans, who are mostly the victims of English junkerism, to save you and the like of you from your half-brother the Hun, at whose shrine you have worshipped for so many years ?"
 That ended the argument.

Technical Matters
Absorb Interest Of
Chemists Meeting

Delegates to the Chemists and
Sugar Boilers convention Eeld meet
ing this morning in the Library OF
Hawaii auditorium, and listened to
several highly technical papers on
mold action, chemistry OF soil forma-
tion, and boilfng-house chemistry. The
mill engineers did not meet this
morning, and the delegates to TINT
convention enjoyed themselves ny
seeing the sights of Honolulu.
The chemists also met at 1880 p. m.
and discussed general topics and

Both conventions close Friday evening
with a combined banquet at the Conf
mercial club.
H. s.. Walker acted as chairman at
per was by p. s. Burgess. and dealt
with the importance of mold action in
soils. The paper was fairly bristling
with terms unintelligible to the lay
man. The report, in conclusion,
urged that investigations be further
carried out to study and determine the
molds in the soils, as these were lust
as important as bacteria. The study
of molds in relation to soil fertility
opens up great field for research,
according to the report.
F. T. Dillingham; read paper en-
titled, THE Chemistry of Soil For
nation" The paper discussed briefly
some of the chemical agencies which
are concerned in the formation Of
soils. A description of the formation
of the earth was first given, followed
by the statement that bacteria were
probably the first forms of life to ap-
pear on the earth's surface. After
bacteria came low forms of plant lie
such as lichens and MOSES. Burrow-
ing of roots into rock creyasses,
caused the disintegration of the rocks.
The chemical action of the water had
much to do with fertilizing the SOIL
& The formation of humus from tile
remains of plants and animal life is
largely dependent upon the chemical
action of bacteria which is controlled
by climatic conditions. Thus, it was
pointed out, in warm, not too moist

More than one-third Of the increase
in the present enrolment in the pub
lie and private schools Of the territory
over the enrolment last June is made

Figures compiled by the department
regarding nationalities show that the
total enrolment for the territory is
42.105, an increase of 3077 over last
year. In the public schools the en-

schools 1860. Last June the total en-
rollment was 39.02S, the public schools
having S2.2S2 pupils and the private
schools 6746.
Marked decreases are noticeable in
the present enrolment of German and
Russian students as against the en-

abilities nor could he talk OF a pos
sible successor in the Rapid Transit
office on Alapai street.
The rumor, was founded, the Star.
Bulletin learns, on despatch from
the Single party, now in Salt Lake,
intimating that Ballentyne might he
come manager and mentioning the
prospect that Salt Lake capital would
take part In the reorganization of the
company, which would mean a reor-
ganization of its personnel. The plan
also eontemplates taking entire con.
troll of the Fortuna mine.
Ballentyne went to the mainland to
report on Montana Bingham for the
local stockholders. his report being
favorable. 1t Is conjectured that the
contemplated move means that Ha-
waii capital would have much larger
control of the mine group than here
tofore.
