EmisSary to Washington is
Back But Says He Has Not
Anything to Report

What success. II any, will attend
the proposed project to secure legis-
laticn to permit the entrance OF $4,000
alien Chinese into Hawaii for planta-
ton labor has not yet been definitely
determined by W. Fl. HIndle who, with
Farm Cornn, local Chinese interpre-
ter, returned TO Honolulu in the
Great Northern from a trip to the ma
tional capital.
There is nothing, absolutely moth
ing, to say in the matter" Hindle told
the Star bulletin Il went to the
mainland simply to do a little mis-
sionary work as regards the project,
but have learned nothing definite and
have reached no conclusions"
Contrary to reports here. Hindle
saws that Farm CoTnn is not in any
way connected with or interested in
the project: that he accompanied
Hindle merely for pleasure because
he had never been in eastern United
States.
y Hindle, however, went so far as to
say that he is almost certain no bill
looking toward the proposed legisla-
ton will be introduced in the present
Congress, "and it is a toss-up," he
adds, whether there will be an ex-
ira session" Prior to going to his
home, Hindle conferred briefly with
N. B. Young of the Mercantile Refer
enee Agency. He told Young practi-
caIly what he told the Star-Bulletin,
that there is nothing definite 49,
when there is anything definite
about this project" Hindle says, the
local papers will have the first story,
and the mainland papers can copy it"
Farm Cornn declined to discuss the
project, saying that he knew nothing
about It and was not interested in it.

REEKLAD saw
BALKAN FIGHTING

: Greece makes no prediction as to
the winning side in the great world
war, nor does she venture any guess
as to whether she herself will be
drawn into it. One party is urging
war, the other party opposing it.
James Sopu1os, a Greek lad, who left
that country three months ago as a
veteran of the Balkan war, and who
arrived on the Great Northern this
morning, sums up the attitude of the
Grecian people in this manner.
Sopulos left Honolulu four years
ago. He is a cousin of George Dera-
eimos Of the Union Grill Of this city,
who is also a veteran of the Balkan
campaign.
b Young Sopulos witnessed some of
the hottest fighting of the war with
the Bulgarians in 1912 and 1913, but
escaped unwounded, save for a few
scratches. He was with the modified
Grecian army that formed when the
tide of European war swept too near
the border. Also he saw the Zeppelin
raid on Saloniki, during which fight
one Of the big vessels was brought
down by anti-aircraft guns.
7 in Macedonia" says Sopulos, "the
people want war, for there they are
under the provisional government, but
those under Constantine do not want
1t, and thus the two factions are split
in a decided manner"
The young soldier shrugged his
shoulders at question as to which
side the Greeks favor
TT is one side this and one side
that" he said. "The Greeks are try
ing to remain neutral. Nobody has
any idea OF when the war will Come
to a close"

How Drafted Persons Can
Get Hearings Transferred

The Provost Marshal Generals
office authorizes the following:
Complete instructions for the
guidance of persons registered
may be obtained from any of the
several local exemption boards.
The questions most usually asked
relate to a change in the place of
physical examination and discharge
claim hearing.
As soon as person who expects
to continue absent for some time
from his place of registration
learns that he has been called on
the first draft, he should apply in
writing under section 90 of the ex-
emption regulations to the local
board having present jurisdiction
over him, and request that on ac-
count of his necessary absence an
order issue from that board direct
ing him to appear for physical ex-
animation and exemption or dis
charge claim, if any, before the
board in whose jurisdiction he now
is. This request should designate
definitely the board before which |
he wants to appear; for instance

Western Paper Hands
Roast To l. w. w. Clan

The anarchistic element repre-
sented by the |. w. w. has never
brought the laboring people of
Butte anything but trouble, hard
times and disaster. They have
never brought anything to any
community in the country and
never will. They never obtained
higher wages for anybody and
they never will. They never en-
ployed labor; they never filled a
pay envelope. And they never
will. They can induce men to go
on a strike, but they have never
found work for them. They can
close a mine, but they cannot open
one. They can destroy, but they
cannot reconstruct. They can tear
down, but they cannot build up.
They can dynamite miners union
halls, but they never built one and
they never will.
Organized labor in Butte must
throw off the blighting grasp of
the |. w. w. if it is again to enjoy
good wages, good times. Employ
ers will have no dealings with this
or any that seems to
be under its control and influence.
Nor should they. No American
citizen, no honest, sincere laboring
man should have anything to do
with an organization that breeds |
disloyalty and anarchy

Fan Weed Is The
WorstWeed In Montana

F. B. Linfield, Director Montana
Experiment station says.
There seems to be no doubt
about the fan weed being a bad
customer. 1t has taken the farms
where it ever has once got a start.
1t is no respector of persons, claims
or deeds. You may think you
have clear title to your place
with an abstract running back to
Adam. Should the Fan Weed get
in, there would be contest which
sooner or later would end in the
complete possession by the weed.
The result is the same whether
you are good farmer or a poor
farmer. There is only one hope
and that is to keep the weed away
and should you have it, stay up
nights with it until you are sure
it is all gone.
Fan weed is spread by means of
animals, winds, seed grain, alfalfa
seed, hay. straw, threshing ma
chimes, irrigation water and many
other methods. The plants seem
innocent enough when first seen,
but like thief in the night are
capable of more than they seem
to.
The Gallatin Valley, regarded as
the most productive wheat section
in.America is going backward on
account of the Fan Weed. The
farmers are selling out cheap on
account of the weeds.
