SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Aug. 81.
Complaint has hecn made to the local
notice that Miss Alfredo Pilger Of HU-
nOluu has disappeared .ince arriving
here on the MatsonIa. The report Of
the missing girl was made by Miss

has been a protege of Miss Kate Attn

Miss AthertOn cabled to her sister,
Mrs Theodore Richards, this morn
ing, that fear was felt something had
Happened to Miss Pilger as she did not
call at her residence in Berkeley aft
cr arrivin, on the coast.
Gilbert Waller, whose daughter
gave the alarm to the police in San
Francisco, believes that Miss Pilger
after reaching the coast started imme
diatelv for Graceland College, at La
mOni Iowa, and did not call upon her
friends in California as she first in
tended.
Mrs Richards and others interest
ed in the welfare of the girl have
wired to San Francisco to use every
endeavor to locate her and to deter.
mine if the young woman did not go
on direct to the Iowa college.
When Miss Pilger left here on the
Matsonia she, with a number of other
Honolulu young girls. was nominally
under the chaperonage of Miss Kath
ryn Adams, the principal of the Ka.
waihaO seminary. Due 10 this fact
hope is held that the Honolulu girl
has not come to any harm.

COPENHAGEN Denmark

y Aug. 31.-SociaIist men,
bers of the German rcichstag
yesterday threatened the gov
eminent that unless the politi~
cal censorship were abolished
the majority would take steps
to enforce its removal.
Socialist Heine introduced a reso-
luton to that effect at a stormy ses-
sion of the lower chamber, in the
name Of the main committee. demani-
ing the abolition Of censorship.
1t would appear that the criticism
of the committee is directed at the
kaiser's' recent declaration that
England must be defeated a: all
costs" and the message to U. s. AM
bassadOr Gerard, in which the ncu-
trality of Belgium was excused on the
ground Of military necessity"
Replying to a question by the lead
er of the Catholic party Erzberger,
Minister for Foreign Affairs Kuehl-
mann said that Premier Michaelis
had assumed the entire responsible
ity for the kaisers utterances.
