Russia's PLIGHT

Premier Kerensky of Russia puts the unhappy
plight of that great country in striking hght pt
his statement as brought to Honolulu today in
an Associated Press despatch.
The outside world is inclined to criticize harshiy
the foundering republic of the Slavs and to hold
them guilty of allowing the Italian victory. In a
military sense this is true because it is now obvious
that the great German army released from the east
ern front has been hurled at the Italian line with
results disastrous to Cadornass men.
But in a larger sense Russia is not betraying her
allies. She is struggling in terrific nightmare Oh
dissolution and internal factonalism amounting at
times to civil warfare. Her people have been SO
long mistreated by the Petrograd bureaucracy that
their neW-found freedom finds them still bitterly re-
Isentfu of anything which savors of paterna gov
ernment. They have not yet learned through the
experience of war that they must obey some author
lily and observe some discipline to save their
country
Add to this unwlingness TO obey constituted
government their economic suffering and it is not
TO be wondered at that Russia has been reduced to
really pitiable extremites
kerensky and his felOw-Oficials are fighting
against tremendous odds. Their task is herculean
The United States, whose enormous wealth and
tremendous resources have been scarcely touched
as yet by our entry into the war must rise to the
occasion of helping those countries of Europe which
have stood the shock Of the great German war,
machine and halted it's juggernaut drive
kerensky's statement that Russia has been fight
ing eighteen months longer than Britain is his way
of saving that Russas whole military resources
have been in the field longer than those of Britain
1t is wellknown that virtually the entire British
regular army was used up in the first few months
OF war Then came necessary halt while the new
Kitchener army was being developed and now it
is very largely in the field. Meanwhile, Russia had
been trying to hold the long eastern line and to
carry on the Caucasus and Persian campaigns.
Thus far the eyes of the American people have
been turned almost wholly to France, for there is
where our boys" are going. But must turn at
tention to Russia, must send to Russia a huge and
steady stream of supplies, the Russian fabric
now worn thin, may collapse entirely and make the
task of the Allies inestImaby more difficult

Covering the Draft Drawing

The absorbing interest of the territory in its Sc
ective draft held yesterday fully justified the spe
cial arrangements which the Star Bulletin made to
cover the event thoroughly for the public.
The task of handling thousands of names in the
order of their drawing, for all of the six districts,
and to put these into afternoon editions was
no easy task. but the StarBuetins special organl-
zation for the work was able to get into the late
editions four pages of names, covering each of the
districts. ~
To prevent mistakes double check is used in
handling the Names and all this intricate work
was carried on while the regular and extra editions
were being published The Star Bulletin is the only
newspaper in the islands which is giving all of the
draft news and printing all of the draft drawing.

SISTER sUsIE's KNITTING BILL.
(From Daily Financial America)

(From Daily Financial America)
Like many of our fashions or crazes, we got that
of knitting from the British. Englishwomen began
early in the war to knit muffers, wristlets, socks
and other garments for the at the front. 1t got
to be such fad that comic song, "Sister Susie's
Sewing Shirts for Soldiers" sung in the music
halls of London and, in due time, on this side of the
water. ..@-
Today the American women are knitting as Brit
ish women never did. They knit at home in theater,
at motion picture show in hotel restaurant between
courses. They knit in church, on az" or subway or
surface car They knit in store, in Office. Some are
said to knit in bed
For msappied patriotism there probably is moth
ing in America today comparable to this work of
knitting.
One small automatic knitting machine can do
more work than 100 women Much of the yarn pur-
chased by the women who knit is bought at price
which makes the article the woman turns out much
more expensive than if it were made by machinery.
The Textile World Journal declares Boston
charitable institution is selling fourply los. high
quartcr-blood worsed yarn in gray mix, in balls of
slightly less than two ounces each, at 75c per ball,
or q price per pound of more than $675. Worsted
spinnprS however, find it difficult to obtain $3.50
for the same count The yarn sold by by the chart
table institution is being used by women in knitting
socks and sweaters for soldiers. -. -.
If women, instead OF devoting so much of their
time to this work in which they cannot possibly do
the best service for the nation, would utilize their
brains and time in solving household problems in
economics they could aid America tremendously.
The president and the food controller have APP
pealed to the women of America to economic In
New York city alone the women who knits so earn
csty and periodically probably could save from
$50000 to 100000 day if they utilized their
talents in correcting household wastes
The American home is not being improved by the
Discrimination of American girls to do Homework
The drift TO fathOuse, apartment house and hotel
life is not healthy. 1t would be we'll if this could
be checked. No man wants to make drudge Of
his wife or his child, but every woman should be
competent cook and housekeeper if she is to be a
rpal homeworker. This is a time that calls for
sacrifice ...-

TWENTY THREE AND A HALF CENT CoPPEl

(From Daily Financial America)
Copper men have no reason to complain of 231ac
copper.
The government is rather generous in fixing that
price as the one to be paid. From the latest com,
plete report of production costs it appears that
copper ranged all the way from to 16c.-the &C.
figure being the cost to one of the porphyry mines
and the 16 to of the old copper properties. Elk
penses are higher than when those figures we're
compiled, doubt, but not very much ir we are to
judge from the recent report of the Utah Copper
Co. which, extra tax included, showed that = was
turning out copper for about Sc. pound.
The big porphyry mines will have large margin
of profit in 2315c copper-a very large margin and
the others will have a good'proft profit which in
normal times would be considered magnificent.
If there is any criticism of the price of 2315c it
should not come from the copper men,

FULL KERNEL FOOLS SHELTERS

i RTHUR G. SMITH, deputy attorney

that has bothered Honolulu the last
few days. Mr.. Smith does not say
whether it is a suggestion or not:
An old Southern colonel was spend
ing some time at health resort where
the winged pests were numerous. The
hotel keeper with careful regard for
his guests was making inquiry az to
whether the mosquitoes bothered
them.
Does the colonel suffer much from
mosquitoes at nignt?" he asked the
Southerner's servant, ..%...... s=

much, sab. In the evening the ker.
nels too full to mind the mosquitoes
and in the morning the mosquitoes is
too full to pay any attention to the

EARTH ENVELOPED
BY WATERY RING
Broke, Causing Great Flood, Is
DR.. Russells Explanation
of Deluge

DR.. Robert McWatty Russell. who
has been conducting evangelistic serv-
ices in the Market Square Presbyterian
Church. is holding the interest of his
audiences and the meetings are being
crowned with success. This evening
he will speak on The Joys of Heaven. $
While discussing the flood of Noah's
day he presented some unusual views
concerning that event. He said:
Some scientists have ridiculed the
whole idea of the deluge, laughing at
the thought of enough water falling
to make a worldwide ocean covering
the mountains to a depth of more than
twenty feet Christian scholars have
usually concluded that the flood was
local, extending over only the in
habited part of the earth. They have
thought that by depositing a local de-
preston of the earth and the incom-
ing of the ocean tides (spoken of in
Genesis as the breaking up of the
fountains of the great deep), all that
is written in holy Scripture can be
eplained."
Great Watery Ring
DR.. Russell, quoting Geoiogist I. n
Wallis theory expounded in his book
The Earth's Annular SYSTEM" said
All planets go through a similar
process in formation and that at one
time the earth had it's rings as Saturn
has now. The last ring in the sky
was watery ring. This spread out
toward the poles and became frayed al
the edges, furnishing an aqueous en-
Velope over the whole globe that pro-
duced those hothouse conditions which
prevailed in the carboniferous era, al
lowing tropical vegetation to grow al
the poles and involving an atmospheric
humidity that accounts for both the
wonderful luxuriant vegetation and the
great length of human life in that
day. The finding of mastodons and
other animals in the ice of the North
with undigested herbage in their stom-
achs indicates that they were over
taken by a sudden dellfge. The break
ing up of this aqueous ring would occur
first at the poles, where centrifugal
forces prevail over centripetal. Thus
would begin the breaking up of the
great watery deep that had enveloped
the earth and the fulfillment of con-
dftions for the last glacial epoch and
the deluge of Noah's day
Proof in Genesis
This view accords with the state
ment of Genesis which describes a
separation between the water under
VIZ ~ anu tie waters aDONG
the armament. The breaking up of
the fountains of the great deep refers
to the downpour of the great watery
canopy. The rainbow thus becomes a
real sign of safety for the future, for
prior to Noah's day there had been nc
rainbow visible on earth, atmospheric
conditions preventing 1t. Before the
deluge the earth was largely land
with here and there a sea. About
that time there were upheavals of the
earth's surface and great depressions,
providing ocean depths which are now
filled with water, first precipitated by
the breaking up of the watery ring.
This view is an aid to those who
believe that the Bible, without an aim
of teaching science, is in all its record
true to the facts OF the universe"
On Sunday evening DIR. Russell will
preach on THE Present World Wal
in the Light of Prophecy"

HIGH HEELS PUT
CORNS ON TOES
Tells women how to dry up a
corn so it lifts out
without pain.

Modern high-heeled footwear buck
les the toes and produces corns, and
many of the thousands of hospital
cases of infection and lockjaw are the
result of woman's suicidal habit OF
trying to cut away these painful pests
For little cost there can be obtained
at any pharmacy a quarter of an
ounce of drug called freezone, which
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or calluS without the
slightest danger or inconvenience.
A few drops applied directly upon
the tender, aching corn stops the sore
ness and shortly the entire corn, root
and all, lifts right out. 1t is a sticky
substance, which dries the moment il
is applied, and thousands of men and
women use it because the corn shrivels
up and comes out without inflamine
or even irritating the surrounding lis
sue or skin. Cut this out and try it II
