NOT ORDERED OFF PIONEER

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: | was surprised 10 read in
yCur Saturdays issue the story that
was ordered off the. Pioneer Planta-
tion at Lahaina In my recent trip TO
Maui I did not visit that plantation
although received Invitations from
both Christian and Buddhist leaders
at Lahaina, and the reason that did
not 60 was very simple-namely. |
felt very miserable on account OF cold
and oyerwork. and nothing more. So
! sent word 10 them, apologizing my
self for not keeping promise and re-
newing promise to be sure to come
back before long.
During my Maui campaign ] met
with nothing but welcome and enthusi-
asm of both American and japanese.
except the opposition of two Japanese
men from Honolulu. who, in order to
get money by jingoistic talks from
ignorant plantation laborers, misrepre-
scented our citizenship work and en-
couraged those people TO oppose every
thing American. II seems the story
published in the Hawaii Choho in re.
gard to the Pioneer Plantation and
myself was invented for the purpose
by some such men.
feel very sorry for the Pioneer
Plantation being thus misrepresented.

THOUSANDS OF SLACKERS
Uncle Sam Instructs Agents to Begin
Round Up.

Washington, July 30.-Declaring
that thousands of men Of draft age
evaded registration and have escaped
the call to the army, Attorney GEN
eral Gregory today instructed all
United States attorneys to begin a
roundup Of the slackers and start
criminal prosecution.
The Attorney General says that
from reports made up to July 16 it
appears that thousands of men escap-
ed, and emphasizes the Importance to
the government Of a prompt search.
District attorneys, he says, are not
expected to make a house-to-house
canvass, nor comparison of the reg
istration list with the various tax lists
of each county, but are to engage in
assistance of local officers or volun-
tary organization whenever that can
be done.
When slackers are found they are
to be registered, and to be assigned
by lot to serial numbers of persons
exempted.

AMERICANS BATTLE
With SUBMARINES
8. Destroyers Attack U-B0ats and
Put Them to Flight in Short
Order.
1 ONE SUBMARINE WAS BOLD
Her Range She Dived
- Quickly.

NJ American Naval Base in British
Waters, July 31.--(By the Associated
sPress. )-American destroyers today
reported to have engaged two subma-
Hrines simultaneously six miles distant,
causing both of them to speed away
and submerge without firing shot
typical of the behavior of submarines
when they see destroyers.
One of them had just sunk steam
er by gunfire and the second was at
tacking merchantmen when the
destroyers opened fire. The second
submarine, which is described as a
supertype, almost as long as a de-
stroyer, raced off and submerged at
$heh first shots, but the other, which
had sunk the steamer, displayed un-
|. usual boldness, remaining up several
minutes, while the destroyer dropped
shells around her. Only when a shell
splashed within twenty-five yards of
the submarine did she submerge ac-
cording to the crew Of the steamer,
who watched the attack from a small
boat close by, and who later were res
cued by the destroyers and brought
here.
A French tanker bound for America
limped into port today, with thirty
foot hole in her bow as a result of
fight with submarine. The tanker
was twice attacked. In the first at
Stack, early in the voyage, she easily
beat off the submarine and reached
"a point 400 miles toward America.
She was then attacked by another SUBJ
marine, the shells of which, despite
The stout resistance of the tanker's
gunners, shattered the pilot house,
smashing the compass and tore gap
ing hole below the water line. The
tanker began to settle and the crew
abandoned the ship, the submarine
disappearing. The crew rowed away
in rough sea, but later, surprised
that the tanker did not sink, returned
to her and managed without bearings
to bring her to port.

British Front in France, July 81
(By the Associated Press. 1.-The En-
tente Allied forces which launched
their offensive this morning have adj
vanced well beyond the shell spat-
tered front line German trenches. In
many places they have reached the
second line defense on a twenty-mile
front of attack, according to the early
reports.
The British and French troops went
into battle under cover of what per
haps was the greatest barrage fire
ever seen during the war
The Entente artillery is moving for
ward and the whole situation is sat
lsfactory in every particular.
Between Dixmude and Bocsinghe
the attackers reported they had secured
the two first lines of trenches after
having fought over the most difficult
terrain imaginable.
The British have again captured La
Basseeville, which they recently re-
linquished to the Germans.
The British and French forces are
facing large concentration of Ger
man artillery and fresh troops which
have been rushed up.
The Entente Allies have established
complete air superiority.
The Entente military officials say
the morals Of the Germans here is
not up to the old standard.

new |NSTALMENT
ON Liberty LOAN
Treasury to Offer $3,O0O,OOO,O 900 in
/ Certificates at Higher Interest
\ Rate
PAYABLE ON NOVEMBER Is
The New Certificates Made Accept
able at Par Like the Preceding
Issues.

Washington, July 31.-The first
step toward financing the second in
stallment of the liberty loan was
taken by the treasury today with the
offering of $3,O00,OO0,OO0 in treasury
certificates of indebtedness. 1t is the
largest block of such securities yet
offered, and the intesest rate, three
and one-half per cent, is one-fourth of
one per cent higher than the previous
offerings.
Subscriptions are to close on August
z, and the certificates are payable on
November Is, next, indicating that
the second instalment of the liberty
loan will have been foatcd in the
first half of November. Although the
treasury has remained silent on that
subject, the general impression here
is that the loan will be offered in
September and that it will be for
total of $3,O00,000,O
The certificates are expected to play
an important part in the financing
of the second instalment Of the loan
as they did in the case of the first
instalment.
When the first liberty bonds were
offered $68O,O00,O0O in certificates
were outstanding and when the fiscal
year closed on June 80, a total of
$626, 100000 of this amount had been
redeemed, through the method of ac-
cepting the certificates at par value
in exchange for bonds.
The new certificates are made ac-
ceptable at par like the preceding is
sues, in payment for any United
States bond issued and allotted here
after and before the maturity of the
certificates. The fact that the Ger
tificates are to bear interest at three
and one-half per cent is taken to
mean that the second installment Of
the liberty loan, like the first, will
be issued at that rate.
Payments Of the certificates will
begin August 8 two days after the
close.

of those captured at Menin Tunnel
and other points are mere boys.
The tanks again played prominent
part in the opening of the battle, and
reports from all sections of the
British front say their work has been
most satisfactory.
Large numbers of these monsters
were employed and in many cases
pursued their destructive and un-
checkable way to a distance far with
in the German lines.
Disastrous to Germans.
Further information obtained from
German prisoners concerning the
effects of the British preliminary
bombardment indicate that the effect
of this unparalleled expenditure of
ammunition was disastrous in the ex-
treme both in damage and to the
morale of the German troops. With
in the past few days six Bavarian di-
visions were withdrawn from the line
and replaced by fresh troops because
they were so thoroughly demoralized
by the inferno of fire which they had
undergone. Photographs taken by
aviators back of the German lines
show that there was scarcely square
yard of territory along their front
which was not devasted by the high
explosives. 1t is small wonder, then,
that the Germans were holding their
front line thinly and were swept back
when finally the time arrived for the
Allied infantry to do its work.
