APACHE STUNT is
ENACTED ON HAWAII

Filipinos on Hawaii tried some real
Apache OF Paris stunts on a japanese
chauffeur last week, when they hit
him over the head with a lead pipe,
rifled his pockets, tied him to a tree
and stuck knives in him.
The assault occurred near the Vol
cano House, and quick action on the
part Of the stable attendants prob
ably saved the man from bleeding to
death. The highwaymen took great
delight in gashing the trussed man
with their daggers. AS yet the Big
ISland police have made no arrests.

Newport Responds
 Quickly As Call
 To Arms Is Rung

Newport, R. I. March 23.-When fire whistles blew nine consecutive blasts, the military call, this staid old town sat up and took notice, got all excited, and then in a remarkably short and orderly manner responded d to the summons.
 The telephone wires were swamped with calls and the streets were block ed with automobiles, while those con- nected with the military organizations hurried to their armories.
 It was but a test call, and Colonel Robert c. Ebbs, of the Newport arr tillery and Lieutenant Carl voight of the Naval Militia, had secretly arrang. cd it, not even informing the police, who were wildly scooting about, trying to find out the source of the trouble.
 The test was grand success, full 1y two hundred of the newly formed cOnstabulary, which includes many of the social colony, reaching the armory of the artillery company in record time, when a drill was performed Among those in the so-called "awk- ward squad" which had held but one previous meeting, were Robert Pot ter, James Laurens Van Allen, the Rev William Stafford Jones and others of prominence. Mayor Clark BurdiclS was assisted in the inspection by of ficers from Fort Adams, and Colonel Bliss commanded the companies.

MASSACHUSETTS MAY
 RECRUIT HOME GUARD

Boston, March 23.-Gov. Mccall sent @ special message to the legisla- ture yesterday recommending the creation of home guard to be raised in time of war.
 Tn his message the governor said:
 "I think it desirable that provision should be made for the creation Of a home guard to be raised in time of war.
 Section 61 of the national defense act prohibits states from maintaining troops in time of peace other than is authorized in accordance with that act, except the organization and main- tenance of state police or constabu- lary; and we should respect this pro- hibition even if it is doubtful whether it would apply tb the creation of a home guard under existing conditions.
 "But it seems to me reasonable to provide in advance for an organiza- tion which could be used in case Of war to protect domestic peace and es- pecially bridges, water powers, fac tories and other structures which might be made the especial object of attack.
 ! II recommend therefore that you

ARGENTINE OFFICERS ENLIST IN U. $. NAVY

Boston, March 23-Mayor Curley
 aroused enthusiasm at the annual
 banquet of the New England Street
 Railway club last ngiht when he en- tered the room with 12 officers of the Argentine navy and announced that 10 of them had enlisted in the United States navy.
 "I want to tell you," he said, that the principles for which the Stars and Stripes stand have been approved by one of our sister republics of South America I want to say that these 10 young naval officers have enlisted in the United States navy, three of
 them on battleships, four of them on
 submarines and the three others in the the aviation corps"
 It was explained that the young lieutenants who came here last week on the Argentine transport Pampa in- tending to secure a years instruction on United States naval vessels had ca bled to their government for permis- sion to join the United States navy
 and that they had received this per-
 mission.

The cor respondent has accompanied the French army over the ground of the German retreat. Following closely on the heels of the retiring Germans, the correspondent passed through many villages whose ashes were still sm nEaae-ing, all having been fired by German troops belonging to the 17th arl.ly corps.

AMERICANS HAVE
 SAVED LIVES OF FRENCH CIVILIANS
Women and Children Tell o1 Hardships as Germans
 Retreat.

War Correspondents Headquarters with the British Armies in France, Wednesday, March 23.-(from a staff ! correspondent of the Associated Press) -" We would have starved if it had not been for the American relief com mission,'' declared French woman in the city hall of Nesle to the cores pondent, speaking for herself and her two little children, their pallid faces and high cheek bones giving evidence of their privations.
 Wherever one went in the territory recently evacuated by the Germans the same story was repeated. There are many other stories of hardships being told, although most of the in- habitants said the German soldiers were we'll disciplined and kept strictly under control. It was repeatedly as- serted, however that within the last few weeks the Germans had appropri- ated some of the American relief stores to their own use
 Some of the peasants encountered in the evacuated territory were plain ly joyous at their liberation Others appeared to have had their spirits broken.
 One of the greatest ordeals the peo- pie said they had to endure was to stand by and see their homes broken up by the Germans as the soldiers were leaving. In some instances the French inhabitants who had been held virtually as prisoners during the Ger man occupation had been segregated in certain parts of the villages while the work of destruction was going on elsewhere. At Cedroi, however, it was said and reiterated by scores of persons that the inhabitants of this and several other villages had been gathered at Rouy 1e Petit in certain houses and told to remain in them certain number of hours while the Germans got away. While so herded together they declared, the Germans had sent 200 shells into the village, killing several persons. The funerals which were in progress in the villages today lent color to the story. People in other villages also assert that they distinctly heard this firing and thought that a battle was in progress.
 It was pitiful to motor today through the villages which had been far from the firing line and untouched by any shells and yet were lying in absolute ruins. Active steps are being taken by both the British and the French to relieve the people in the liberated zone. About the only persons seen are old men, women and chil- dren.
 The amount of damage involved in saving down fruit trees in the evacu- atod territory is almost incalculabIe. and everywhere the destruction seems to have been carried out within the last few days.

". M. c. A. RELIGIOUS CLUBS WILL CLOSE
 WORK WITH FEAST

Religious educational clubs of the Y. M. c. A. will hold their closing ban quet tonight in the association dining hall at 6:15 o'clock. The clubs have just completed 21 weeks of study on religious subjects of various natures.
 The clubs have been fortunate in persuading Burt F,arnsworth, general secretary of the Twenty third Street Y. nE. c. A. of New York city, to ad- dress the banquet.
 Mr. Farnsworth. before entering as- sociation work, was an educator of prominence. As educational secretary of a metropolitan association he won recognition and soon became one of the best known educational work di- rectors in the country. It was because of his excellent work in this capacity that led a group of members of the board of directors of the Twenty-third Street Y. M. c. A. to ask MT. Earns worth oo accept the position of general secretary in that association. Since that time MT. Farnsworth has gained the enviaible reputation of being one of the most efficient general secreta- ries in America
 AS a Bible student he is unexcelled, his intimate knowledge of this book has helped to enlist two thousand diff ferent men in his Bible class during the past ten years.
 As a speaker he is forcefuI, fas- cinating, vdrile and manly and is said to be second to none on the platform; his ability to formulate in terms that the average man understands, the most abstract truths of philosophy and psychology, make his addresses djoubly interesting to those not thoroughly conversant in these subjects
 The clubs which are giving the ban quet are: Mackenzie, Philosophic, Business and Professional Mems, Dor mitory and Every Day.
 Every effort has been made by the committee in charge to make this af- fair one of the most delightful affairs on the association calendar The La dies Auxiliary of the Y. M. c. A. will serve the banquet. Music will be fur nished by Cranes orchestra.
 Paul Miller, chairman of the Relig- ious Educational Clubs committee, will preside.
 As the seating capacity of the asso- citation dining hall is rather limited. the committee urges all who expect td attend to reserve seats before D. m.
