ENGLISH ARMY
IS TWO WEEKS

Advance More Rapidly than
Schedule Anticipated, Bal
four is Told.

Washington, May 4.-The British
forces on the western front are two
weeks ahead on their attacking sched-
ule, accordin" to a cablegram received
the foreign office. The advance, it is
said. has been much faster than ex-
pected and the losses smaller.
The losses were said to be only one
half as large proportionally as those
on the somme offensive last year. This
ia attributed by members Of the mis-
sion to an incomparably better arr
tillery preparation and the fact that
the men. are not allowed to out-run
the guns.

Night, but to no Avail.
H1NDENBURG LINE
IS BADLY PIERCED
Part of oppy line Untenable
on Either Side Because
of Machine Guns.

British Headquarters in France, Via
London, May 4.-The Germans made
desperate counter attacks throughout
the entire night against the positions
won by the British yesterday. but
were everywhere repulsed.
All through the brilliant moonlit
night and again today, British SOL
diers were fighting on a wide front,
tenaciously holding the positions won
yesterday in the face Of the headlong
counter attacks of their foe. In some
places the fighting ebbed and flowed
as in the old days in the Somme cam
paign. when the casualties inflicted
on the enemy were regarded as moro
important than specific gains Of
ground. The present fighting, how
ever, is more intense.
Terrific Fighting.
The latest reports from the battle
front show that the Hindenburg line
was pierced both northwest and
Of Bullecourt for long dis
tances. The Germans bitterly defend
ed these strong points and attempted
several times to retake them, but
once the British were in deep trench
es, they held on.

THE SITUATION
At HANALE|

The latest from the plague situa-
ton al Hanalei is that there have
been, to date, some 70 deaths of cat
tie from anthrax or murrain, and
that there is no assurance that we
have come to an end of the trouble.
The contaRion is pretty widely
spread over the Princeville Ranch,
one pasture on the Kalihiwai edge,
one in the center and one OIL the
Hanalei side being infected. This
means that probably the streams
running through these tracts are
also infected, and that thev will
carry it makai along their course.
DR.. Glaisyer has been most
faithfully in attendance from the
beginning, and every effort has
been made to relieve the situation.
A strict quarantine has been ell
forced covering the whole region,
the infected carcases are being
burned and every thing possible is
being done to meet the situation.
DR.. Norgaard arrived this morn
ing and proceeded Immediately to
the scene of disaster and will devote
his energies and skill to the prob
lem. Unfortunately, we under
stand, that there is no serum short
of San Francisco.
The probability is that the evil
will be restrained, for the time
being at least, within present
bounds, but the danger is, that,
when the soil is once inoculated
we will have the disease ever with
us. in hiding, and will be liable an
outbreak at any time, perhaps
wears hence.

"Hikers" Up Hanapepe

A party consisting of Judge
Dickey, Mr., and Mrs. Trowbridge,
Mrs. Clapper. three of the high
school teachers. and George STEM
del enjoved a hike" up Hama.
pepe valley to the falls Friday.
April 16. They remained in autos
till they reached the end of 'navi-
gable" roads and then went the
other four or five miles on foot.
The trip for the most part is not
hard, tho anyone not used to a
straight and narrow path" will
at first find walking the flume
planks quite an acrobatic accom-
plishment. However, after going
a few thousand feet without meet.
ing sudden death, one begins to
stride along the tight-rope Ike a
professional and even to take fur
tive glances at the scenery now
and then.
The valley in most places drops
precipitately down to the rushing
rocky stream. 1t is valley green
with rice fields in the early. in
| habited portions and with many
kukui, banana, and papaia trees,
ii plants, and wild ferns. The
damp mountain sides where water.
drips. are beautiful with MOSES
and delicate maiden-hair fern. In
some places the banks are blue
with mornipg-glory vines.
AS one goes further up the val
ley the mountain sides become
more precipitous. At one place
there is a very queer geological
formation, A giant cliff rises per-
pendicularly some FIVE hundred
feet. 1t is veined horizontally, ex-
cept in one place where il looks as
though stone wall had been
s n1wiched in at an angle of six
ty degrees. There is little vegeta'
ton Oh this mountain wall though
others just as high are green with
thick trees.
There are several pretty watel-
falls OH the sides of the valley,
some thin little streams slow
dropping wells of thinnest lawn,
and others sending out widening
ribbons of foam. Hanapepe Falls
thenself drop a :hunderous and
UreCipitous sheet of water two hun
d ell and thirty feet. The constant
erosion has wora the cliff into semi
.rcular form with grooves in the
rock like the folds of fan. The
water drops into a pool, shaped
deep bv its own fall, and spray i:
thrown far into the air to fall agair
; like rain.
Fire members of the party were
adventurous enough enough tC
scale the steep mountain above tn,
