CHAMBER MEETS
FOR ELECTION

For the purpose of electing officers
for the ensuing year, the members Of
the Chamber of Commerce are meet
ing this afternoon. The nominees
were selected by the nomination com
mittee. there being two for each Of
flee and 81 names for the selection of
Il directors.
j. F. c. Hagens Is the only nominee
for president as Robert w. Single
has announced that he would not run.
This would automatically make Ha-
gems president, but. IL is understood.
there is feeling among the members
that there should be competition for
all offices. This may result in either
the resignation of Single being re-
fused or the election being postponed
until later date. There seems to be
no. trouble over the other officers.
Before the election Of officers Geo.
w. Smith. the retiring president, read
his report. The report calls the mem
hers attention to the purpose Of the
Chamber of Commerce, which Is to in
spfre in its members a-sense OF indi-
vidaal civic responsibility. Smith then
gives resume Of the conditions of
the different island crops and also
touches on the tourist trade and ship
ping facilities. National, territorial
and municipal affairs are next spoken
of in respect to the chambers eonnee-
ton with them.
Concerning the bond issue the re-
port declares that the result was q
severe indictment of the civic interest
of the community, and while the au-
thority asked for was withheld, the
result was so close as to call for a
censure of the substantial electorate
in our midst.
What the chamber has done regard
ing vice conditions in Honolulu is told
in the report and there are also arti-
Giles on the Civic Convention, the local
longsforemen's strike, banking condi-
tons here and various matters per-
tanning to the work Of the chamber.

HAWAIIAN MUSIC
GIVES ISLANDS
MUCH PUBLICITY

Hawaiian music has done more
than any other medium to advertise
Hawaii said w. d. Adams in talk
before the members of the Ad Club
at the Alexander Young hotel today.
Hawaiian music is ringing around
the world. and the sheet music, phono-
graphs and PLAYER pianos have been
doing their part to boost Hawaii.
Managers in vaudeville must have
at least enc Hawaiian act to make
their show a success at present The
cafes IN the East are doing the best
they can to secure Hawaiian musi-
clans, and some OF them have Hawai-
ian settings with Sranish and Italian
artists.
Hawaiian music mas showed a wOn-
derfnl growth duriog the past few
years, and the Victor Company alone
is sending 2,50e,000 catalogues each
month to the people OF America and a
Hawaiian selection is included in
every new catalogue issued. inas-
much as there are 275 talking ma,
chine companies in America one rea.
Hzes the value of advertising Hawai-.
ian songs.
Thousands OF dollars have been
made by the writer's and publishers
of Hawaiian songs, and one OF the
songs written in New York which is
not typically Hawaiian brought the
publishers hundreds of thousands OF
dollars. The Victor dealers in and
around New York want to come to
Hawaii for a convention and We viii
expect them within the next five
years" he concluded

Y w. C. A. number Of telephone
calls have been received. and each one
asked that the lecture be called off,
as at this time when the nation was
on the verge Of war that peace
would not be quite the
proper plan.
An official Of the Y. w. C. A. said
today that the association had planned
the lecture some time ago, and would
schedule 1t as part of their regular

Leon Trotzky, whose home was in the
United States when the revolution
broke out, but who sailed for Russia
shortly afterward. He was one of the

The strength of the Maximalists has
lain in the support which they obtain
from the military. chiefly in the Petro-
grad garrison, among which they have
been able to work with little interfer-
ence from the government. They had
failed, however. to impress their policy
upon Russia as whole. as has been
shown by the manner in which they
were outyoted in the all-Russian
congress and the minority part played
in the organization OF the preliminary
parliament, In which they refused 70
participate after they were shown to
