James A. Kennedy Back From
Washington Confirms Re-
port Local Boats are Not Ex-
empt From Communicating;
Freight Rate Increase is
Probable

II ARGE and small vessels in
| /. the Hawaiian trade may at
almost any moment be taken
from their routes by Uncle
Sam, and there is no security in
the present situation, says
James A. Kennedy, president
| of the Inter-Island Steam Navi-
CATION Company and Hawaii
representative of the United
States shipping board. Here
are some Of the vital points he
makes on his return from a
bushes strip to Washington in
direct connection with ship
ping affairs:
Though the steamers in the Hawaii
an trade now commandeered by the
government are still being operated
on the former routes and under little
change, the government will very prob
ably find their operation so expensive
that marked increases in freight and
passenger rates will be necessary.
There is talk. that rates may have
to be increased so to 100 per cent
owing to the immensely increased
cost of operation.
The Inter-Island Co.'S steamers now
operating exclusively in trade between
island points are not exempt from
communicating In this connection
Mr.. Kennedy confirmed rumor in
washington and San Francisco that
the government may commander
some of the Inter-Island vessels in the
second call"
Sugar Transportation
Transportation of Hawaii's sugar is
becoming matter of much uncertain
ty. The congestion on the transcon-
tinental railroads is such that the raw
sugar destined for the Eastern re-
fineries may be much delayed or even
blocked So far as rail connections are
concerned. Once again the possibil-
iiy is raised Of all-water transportation
for the raw sugar from Hawaii to the
Eastern seaboard.
While the mter-island president
dwelIs on the uncertainties of the sit
uation. it is not claimed that Hawaii

That the German civilian population
is gradually nearing the breaking
point which may eliminate in open re.
volt against the kaiserbund in the not
very distant future, is the prediction

In communication to the state de.

many is growing weary of the saeri-
fices she is being continually called
on to make in the conduct of the war.
and the gnawing of hunger may drive
the populace to extreme measures
before long.
The German people," says the min
lister, are slowly beginning to realize
that the war is a failure, though, de-
spite the general weakening of morale.
there is no immediate prospect Of
peace. The food question is bad and
the general economic situation Is
rapidly growing worse.
