Fred Kirchhoif, engineer Of the
loan fund commission. today filed
with that body a report on the present
condition Of streets in Puunui dis
trict, recently severed under con-
tract with the LnrdYoung Engineer
ing Company, as follows:
On Liliha street, at the corner Of
Judd street, the entire road surface
has been washed away. not only over
the sewer line but also on both sides
Of the road
This same condition exists about
500 feet above Judd street. where
the entire surface, for about 200 feet.
has been destroyed by tloow waters.
From there up to Wyllie stree:
the surface over the sewer line is in
fair condition, better in fact than
along either side, where the surface
was not disturbed by the trenching.
Above Wyllie street, the surface
in many places las been removed by
water. This is the case as far as the
manhole at Kauai street One bad
place is about Goo feet mauka of
Wyllie street, where the whole sur
face and sub-graGe is loose.
"A4ewa street and LAM street are
in god shape Neither of them was
an improved roaG. Having no maca
dam, they naturally are muddy in
rainy weather.
'Wyllie street, from Liliha street
to Puunui, is in bad condition over
the whole width.
In four or five places the top sur.
face has been washed away, and gen
orally the whole surface is unduIating
and bunny.
Between Puunui and Rookie street
the surface is fair, there being one
soft place in the vicinity Of the man
hole at Rookie street.
On Wyllie street, from Liliha, 60
ing toward Nuuanu avenue, the to-
surface over the line Of the sewer ,
has been washed off, leaving the /
present surface slightly below the .
level of the street surface" !

NEW ARMY OFFICERS
TO co ON RESERVE

Most Of the graduates Of the Officers
Training Camp will be appointed to
the officers Reserve Corps. to be
called into active service in the Ma
tional army only during the war and
returned to the inactive list at the
close of hostilities.
This announcement was made by the
War Department yesterday. II makes
these officers available for use in any
future emergency. The only excep-
ton which will be made is that men
over the required ages for the Officers
Reserve Corps will be appointed direct
to the National army. These men will
be mustered out at the close of the
war and cannot be called for active
service again.
The age limits for the Reserve Corps
are: For major, 45; for captain. 40:
for first lieutenant, Sc; for second
lieutenant, 30. There is no limit of
age for officers to be appointed to the
National army direct.

Sammy" Into the Discard.

Pershing's men protest the rather
inept nickname which was forced
upon them when they disembarked
on French soil. They do not like
to be called "Sammies." We do not
blame them. That name made no
more hit with the American people
than with the fighting forces, and
there was no danger of its universal
acceptance. Army people from the
first have laughed at it.
There is nothing of slangy Amer
icanism. nothing OF SAVIOR, in that
French-American idea of "Sammles." !"
1t was obviously a mere parody on
the Kiplingesque Tommy Atkins. -
which sticks to the British private
because 1t is distinctively British.
When the French were called upon
to devise some pet name for their
troopers, did they seek a variant OF
Tommy" Not a bit OF it. They
hit upon "Poilu" because the peas
ants Of the Marne Valley invented II
for them-a sobriquet that sprung
up during the repulse and retreat
Of the first rush OF the Germans on
Paris. "Poilu' means a man un-
shorn, and during those first few
weeks OF fighting in France the
French troopers had no time to re-
sort to the razor. Lacking tonsorial
attention, and with chins decidedly
hairy" they became "Poilus" to
the peasants. and Poilus they have
remained ever since.
The British would like to call the
American forces the "Yanks." but
lively protest. The fact is we have
no name for them as yet. Wait un-
til they have their baptism of fire
in France. until some tradition has
clustered about them. Then the
name by which they are to be known
will spring up out Of the very en-
viTonment they have created, and it
will be a name worth having. But
Sammy" is impossible, although it
may serve as temporary expedient,
particularly IL the correspondents
and the headline writer's insist up
on using II. 1t Is about as awkward
as to call the Britishers Johnny
Bulls" And the fghtlng forces of
Field Marshal Haig would never
stand for such an indignity as that

REPUBLICAN AGENTS
To CONTINUE WORK
Publicity Bureau Here Refuses to
Suspend Activities.

The Republican Publicity Associs-
ton, through it's president, Jonathan
Bourne. jr., yesterday gave out the
following statement at its Washington
headquarters:
Complaint is made by some admin
istration papers because some Repub-
lcans maintain in Washington an or
ganization to continue discussion of
political questions regardless of the
absence Of a political campaign and
regardless of the continuance OF the
war. Those papers deplore such ac-
tivity as partisan and urge its discon-
tlnuance.
II thees administration defenders
want discontinuance Of partisAnship,
they can ind ample opportunity for
Initiation Of such a program at the
White House. Neither before the war
began, nor since. has President Wilson
shown the slightest indication OF in
tention to abandon partisanship. On
the contrary. he has violated the spir-
II Of acts OF Congress in order 10 Ie.-
petuate intense partisanship. Presi-
dent Wilson has never retracted his
assertion that the Republican party is
the refuge Of those who are afraid
nor has he qualified his description
of Republican leaders when he said
that some Of them are misguided.
some Of them are blind and most OF
them are ignorant whenever he is
ready TO change his view OF Repub-
hcans and take them into council on
an equality with Democrats in the ad-
ministration Of the affairs Of the gov
ernment, and whenever he is willing
to espouse economic principles which
represent America first he and his
defenders can reasonably expect a dis
continuance OF partisan discussion"

The CRESCENT MOON,

Long years agone the crescent moon
Hung fairy-like low down the West;
AS on we Jared thro' lovely France,
A golden brooch on evenings breast.
1t was a vision fair to see,
Its beauty set my heart athrill;
The crescent moon means this TO me
Outlines when 1 behold It still.
And now the summers come again,
With sylvan Joy and jubilance;
But still the energies of men
Are needed in wars furtherance.
The woods are full of budding life,
And ecstacy of woodland song;
While nations spend themselves in
strife,
The endless war OF Right and Wrong.
o lovely France. your peace Is gone,
Your calm is turned to battle-roar;
The crescent moon tonight looks on
Inhuman woes of brutal war.
look at you, crescent moon.
When day is done and night Is fair
You shame the world so out of tune,
So calmly sailing in the air.

Hundreds Of foreign masters have

until the American seamen decided
they would not work under foreign

RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY
HANGS ON LABORERS
Duncan Says Workers Kept Coun-
try from Peace with Germany.

Before a gathering of 800 labor Of
ficials. organizers, and workingmen,
at the Social Oyster Club last night.
James Duncan, first vice president of
the american Federation OF Labor.
who recently returned as a member
of the American mission to Russia,
made public the inside facts of the
foundation of the Russian revolution.
and the manner in which the peasant
and laboring classes overthrow the
autocracy of the Gar.
Mr.. Duncan declared that the or
ganized sorces of labor should re-
ceive the credit for the primary move
in the making of the new democracy,
and that were it not for the meth
DDS pursued by the organizers of
the peasants league, who, incidentally,
modelled their organization after the
American Federation of Labor. Rus
sia would now be at peace with Ger
many, which would probably spell
the overthrow of the allied purpose.
In concluding his address, Mr.. Dun
can prophesied that at the conclusion
of the terms of peace, Sweden also
would be listed among the democ-
.'acies of the world.
Labor Officials Present.
The speech of Mr.. Duncan followed
dinner entertainment and welcome
given to the member Of the Russian
mission by the members of the labor
organization which he represented on
the mission. Among the features Of
the entertainment was the musical
number rendered by the Montrose
Quartet. composed of W. Skinner, c.
Martin, B. Jarboe and ]. Drummond,
with f. McNally as accompanist.
Officials of the American Fedora
ton at the reception were: Samuel
Gompers, president; James O'Connell.
second vice president, and Frank
Morrison, secretary. Members of the
different local union bodies turned out
in full force and many of the officials
of the Central Labor Union were
present.

WOMAN MAKES PLEA
FOR HOSPITAL FUND
Nine. Mazzuchi Tells War Expert
ences in Lecture Here.

Madame Mazzuchi. Legion of Honor
Red Cross nurse and holder Of two
decorations for bravery as well as
a lieutenant's commission in the
italian army. made plea last night
at the Lafayette Hotel, for more
funds to provide comforts for the
wounded in her hospital in the
Province Of Udlne. Italy.
The Angel of the Marne." as she
has been called, has the distinction
OF having snubbed a Hohenzollern.
For when the Kaiser's fourth son was
presented to her at Rheims she ad-
dressed him as follows: Yes have
saved the lives of your men in the
hospital here, because I am a woman
and for me the wounded have no
nationality. But when they get back
to the firing line, hope to God they'll
/ all be killed" Prince Auguste Will
helm then backed out of the room,
having no reply for such remarks.
Some of the war souvenirs she had
collected on the Italian-Austrian
front and showed last night, were
dum-dum bullets and shells with
copper Jackets designed especially by
the Austrians for spreading infec-
ton, not to mention a few unexplod-
ed shells which were dropped from
aircraft on the roof OF her hospital.
At other times she was not so
lucky, for the Austrians succeeded
in blowing the roof OFF the hospital
at Latisana. leaving the wounded who
were not killed outright exposed to
a DRIVING .--t-storm.
At Rheims in 1914, she was shot by
German sniper who aimed through
the opening leading down to a hos
pital in a wine cellar where she was
tending 800 wounded. It was shortly
after this that she was proposed for

Funds to assist her work should be

n. c.,. Of he .BeIsi.n Prince

The American government now has
consular affidavits regarding the case
Of the British merchantmen. Belgian
Prince-a most shocking revelation Of
Prussian barbarism.
What are the facts, as reported to
the State Department? Here Is the
official version:
After being torpedoed, the crew Of
forty-four entered the lifeboats. The
officers of the submarine asked
whether there were any gunners left
on board and ordered the crew Of the
Belgian Prince to the deck of the
submarine. The men Of the subma-
rine searched them for weapons.
threw away the oars OF the lifeboats
and ordered the crew to remove their
life preservers The submarine pro-
ceeded for fourteen miles and then
submerged, drowning the crew with
the exception Of William Smell, of
Jacksonville. the chief engineer, and a
Russian. The consul has obtained an
affidavit to the above facts"
Could there be more vivid example
OF the new ''frightfulness?" The lives
Of four American sailors were lost
in this cold-blooded murder. For that
reason the American government, and
the American newspapers, should
spare no effort to acquaint every
man, woman and child in the United
States with the facts. They are the
kind of facts that the present situa-
ton requires.
This Is a period when war-apathy
Is being urged on the nation from
thousands OF busybody, propagandist
tongues wagging at the word Of a for
eign master. when the Hearst papers
are beginning a deliberate drive to
embarrass the American government
by calling for peace negotiations. The
yellow journals are not merely ten
tatively flirting with the idea of peace
NdAh AON just ~ Oul NlAG
temper OF the nation. They are deep
ly committed to the propaganda, try
ing to justify it on the basis Of ''hu-
manity" and the facts of the military
situation. There should be an organ
lied effort to spike" their dangerous
chatter.
In the midst of the professed ap-
athy that old man-of-straw is trotted
out. what are we fighting for?" The
Belgian Prince furnishes a sufficient
answer. The U-boat commander who
sank this hapless vessel and mur-
dered Its crew evidently envied the
laurels of Steinbrink-the Prussian
captain who sank the Lusitania. He
went Steinbrink one better. He did
not leave the crew Of the Belgian
Prince in boats to have a fighting
chance Of rescue in the open sea. He
insisted on their coming aboard the
deck OF the submarine. Then he drown
ed them. He decided to take nc
chances of their surviving and did
his job efficiently in true Prussian
style.
The German agents in the United
States will have difficulty explaining
this case away for it is backed by
the American government itself. We
do not think thew will try tn exnIa in
it; they will leave it severely alone.
