EDITORIAL NOTE. - William Le-
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend, Count Ernst Won HeltzendOrff,
the latter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-
rope as the possessOr of its innermOst
secrets.
The English "Who's Who" says of
hint she has intimate knowledge of
the secret service of Continental cOun-
tries and Is considered by the govern
ment Cof Great Brittany an authority on
such matters" Another authority saysi
Stew people have been more closely as
ISOLATED with or know more of the
astounding inner machinery of Ger
many than he.
LeQueux probably has more sources
of secret Information at his command
than any contemporary in civil life, and
for the last six years the British Gov
eminent has made valuable use of his
vast store of secret information through
specially organized department with
which LeQueux works as a voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeItzendorn became an in
innate of LeQueux several years prior
to the outbreak of the war, he has been
living in retirement in France since
August, 1914, and IL was there that Le-
Queux received from the crown princes
late personal adJutant permission to
make public these revelations of the
inner life of the HOhenZOllerns-that
the demOcracies of the world might
come to know the real, but heretofore
hidden, personalities of the two dOmi-
nant members of the autOcracy they are
now arrayed against.

Nearly three months passed.
The Trip to llmenau.

Herr Reitschel often came from Con-
stantinOple and frequently brought his
handsome young wife with him. for he
was persona grata ut court. To me
this was indeed strange in view of the
reports of the eX-Opera dancers son
who, by the way, lived in Constanti-
nople in the unsuspicious guise of a
carpet dealer and unknown to the
bank director
The latter had. assisted by his wife's
fortune, inherited from her grand
mother, purchased the Schloss Langen-
berg, the splendid ancestral castle and
estates of the princes of Langenberg,
situated in the beautiful Thuringian
forest, and acknowledged to be one of
the most famous shooting estates in
the empire. 1t was not, therefore, sur
prising that the emperor, to mark his
favor, should express a desire to shoot
capercailzie there-a desire which, of
course, delighted Herr ReitsChel, who
had only a few days before been dec
grated with the Order of the Black
Eagle.
One afternoon in midautumn the en-
perOr, accompanied by the crown
prince and myself, together with the
suite, arrived by the imperial train at
the little station of Ilmenau, where, of
course Reitschel and his pretty wife,
with the head and underforesters, and
all sorts of civil officials in black coats
and white ties bowed low as the all
highest stepped from his salon. The
kaiser was most gracious to his host
and hostess.
The emperor had complained of a
slight cold, and in consequence, just
before we left Berlin, l had been in
structed to summon by telegraph a GER
tain Doctor Vollerthun from Augsburg,
who was perfect stranger to us all,
but who had, l supposed, been recon-
mended to the emperor.
While the emperor and his host were
out shooting l remained alone in o

Britain and France, yet on the other
his agent, Herr Reitschel, was ever
busy lending money In all directions in
order to secure favor in Germany's in

Yet further game was being played,
namely, that while the kaiser was MAX

, the sultan Abdul Hamid, visiting Con-
stantinOple and Palestine, building
fountains, endowing institutes, yet he
was also secretly supporting the Young
Turk party so as to effect the sultan's
downfall.
Herr Anton had been paying a num-

many private audiences of both kaiser
and sultan.
Suddenly all of US were surprised by
the announcement that the kaiser's ia
vored civilian in Turkey had married
Mademoiselle Julie de Lagarenne.

the great French sugar refner, and

ANIES
AND FOOD BODY
Will COOPERATE

Plans which are expected to result
in a harmonious program in striving
for a reduction in the price of fisb
were discussed at length al meet
Jig yesterday afternoon by the terri
torial food commission with the heads
of local fishing companies.
The meeting was called by the fish
committee OF the commission to Sc
cure the opinion of the heads OF the
fishing companies and to find out how
far they would be willing to 20 to-
ward aiding the commission in reduC-
ing the price Of fish. The heads OF the
companies declared that they would
give the commission every cooperation
possible and do all in their power to
put down the present high prices.
1t was the opinion of the fishing
men that the only feasible way TO re-
duce the Price is to increase the sup
ply of fish, and various reasons were
put forward for the present shortage.
1t was suggested that a cheaper way
to market the fish be arrived at, and
that overhead expenses be cut down
wherever possible and practicable.
1t was pointed out that at present
there is a lack OF fish. and no partic-
ular reason could be given for this.
The distance of the feeding grounds
from the port of Honolulu was one
reason advanced for the scarcity.

WOULD HOLD Up
BUILDERS PAY

Claiming that F. R. Richie con-
tractor in charge of the Manoa district
road work, had failed to lay the
amount of asphaltum called for in
the contract, the special committee
five members submitted a report
to the Manoa Improvement club last
night recommending that the club go
on record as opposing all further
payments to the contractor for his
work until a complete investigation
be made by the board of supervisors
of the city and county of Honolulu
The report of the committee was
signedtby j. A. Balch, F. E. Blake, NJ
MaeIntyre, J. ~ S. Williams and Fred
Hons. The club approved of the rec
ommendation.
Supervisor Charles n. Arnold, chair
man of the road committee, present
by invitation, promised that the board
would give consideration to the re-
port of the Manoa club and, if neces,
sary, order an investigation made re-
garding the alleged shortage of as
phaltum.
The committee reported that the
contractor had received 2404 barrels
of asphaltum and of this only SIS
tons had been poured upon the streets.
The total area of pavement covered,
according to Engineer Pearce, was
1856 square yards, making 1881 gal
Ions per square yard. The committee
emphasized the fact that the con-
tract specifications called for 225 gal
Ions per square yard and declared that
this was serious defect in the work.
The committee also reported the &C
ton Of the board Of supervisors fol-
lowing the tour made on Tuesday over
the district. Supervisor Arnold, be-
sides promising to look into the mat
ter, said that every effort would be
made to supply three cantoniers for
the Manoa roads to. begin work as
soon as the contract was completed.
The club decided to authorize the
purchase of 500 Liberty bond fol-
lowing which the officers for the en-
suing year were elected as follows:
A. Lewis, Jr.. president; E. NJ. Ehr-
horn, vice president; e. H. jenkins,
secretary; c. M. V. Foster. treasurer,
and executive committee, F. E. Blake,
Fred Hons and A. J. Gignoux.

Water REACHES .
LOWEST EBB IN !
CITY RESERVOIRS

The water in the city reservoirs to-
day reached the lowest level in years
when only six feet was reported in

No. basin and II feet six inches IN
No. I reservoir. Not since two and a
half years ago has. the water been so
low as II Is today. In 1914 there was
i short dry spell when the water in
one OF the reservoirs reached the van
ishing point, but even at that time
the other basins were well filled and
the dry sne< was broken in a few
short weeks.
This year. however. the dry spell
has been unusually long and at pres
ent there appears TO be little pros
pect of rain for some time to come.
The waterwOrks department, however.
Is hoping against hope that the light
showers that nall will develop into a
semhlanCe OF a rain storm and bring
the basins up to their old levels.
The gang OF men at work cleaning

their task and work on the cleaning
out OF No basin vii be started early
next week. At present the Nuuanu

supply OF water from No. reservoir
and as soon as work is started on No.

Up to date the waterworks depart.
ment has received few complaints
from residents in the upper levels OF
the city regarding the water, but
most of the compliments are salts
fled that the department is doing ev.
erything in it's power to help mat

is now using Hawaiian Electric

voirs when they will again be able to
return to the use Of No. basin for
the purpose of making power and

will surpass every course so far shown
in the history of Kimberly.
The ticket sale of the Hampton

came within a few hundred dollars OF
meeting the expenses for the entire
course. A great effort will be put
forth by those who have the course in
charge upon the appearance of the
