COM MERCIAL NEWS
MAUI VEGETABLE
CROPS DAMAGED

That the vegetable gardens on Maui
are being damaged by the drought to
a greater extent than the sugar crops,
and that the pinespples have not been
touched by the dry spell. IL the word
brought from the Valley Island by
John l.. Fleming Of James F. Nor
gas Co.
The sugar crops Of 1918 and 1919
have been somewhat damaged in
placeA but not to the amount which
previous reports have had it, Mr..
Fleming says. Large areas Of the
sugar field are yellow, particularly on
the Waikiki and Maui Agricultural
Co.'S plantations, but a good rain in
the near future will save all but q
few inches Of the stock at the butt.
As q result Of the drought the 1918
estimate may have to be cut a few
thousand tons.
The vegetable crops are suffering
considerable and In some instances
truck gardens have almost been
burned up. The grass on the ranges
is also very dry and the cattle are
not getting the proper feed and are
looking poorly.

TERRITORY ASKS
CITY TO SHARE
pump EXPENSE

Three bids were submitted Friday
by local firms for an electric pump
to be installed at Kalihi pumping sta
ton. These bids were as follows:
Cation, Neill & Co., $12,650; Homo
lulu Iron Works, $14,75O; Hawaiian
Electric Co., S1s.360. AS the equip
ment named in the Cation, Neil Of.
fer did not comply with specifications,
the attorney generals office has rem
dered an opinion declaring the bid
cannot be accepted.
The loan fund commission, which
has charge OF the work, has sent q
letter to the board OF supervisors ask
ing If the city will assume the cost
Of installing and all cost of purchase
above $4,000 This latter would
amount to $3.50 if the Honolulu Iron
works bid is accepted. A letter was
sent to the city on June 80 but has
never been heard from, it is said.
It is probable that as soon as the
Maole ditch job is ended in September
the commission will close up its
books and business, awaiting the time
when the pump is installed some 13
months from now. After that the
commission will definitely cease bust.

CHAPTER XIV.
Mr.. Brown Finds His War.

Lieutenant Baum had been gone but
a short time when Sergeant Schmidt
appeared bringing Brown with him
The German ''noncom" looked about in
vain for his lieutenant, who had or
dered him to fetch the American. But
only two of his mates, Otto and Hans,
remained in the room, standing guard
at the street door.
Sergeant Schmidt was nonplused. 1t
was not like Lieutenant Baum to fail
one like that. And he gurgled a few
throaty German words in his surprise
There seemed nothing to do then but
assume the task himself-the duty OF
examining his prisoner for so he re-
garded the interested Mr.. Brown, who
was already making mental notes OF
the proceedings, which he intended to
nse for the establishment of the sto-
ries he would send his paper later.
Charlie had paused just inside the
door through which he had entered the
room. And now the sergeant beck
oned to him violently.
"Komm hier!" he commanded.
At that peremptory command Mr.
Brown regarded him with mild sur
prise and total lack Of comprehen-
sion. But the sign language was plain
enough. So Charlie drew near to that
formldable-looking automaton.
WAS thust du hier?" Sergeant
Schmidt demanded fiercely
Mr.. Brown appeared to consider him
a huge joke. At least he glanced past
his frowning interrogation at Hans and
Otto and laughed outright.
81 don't get you. Why don't you
speak English?' he replied.
But the sergeant stolidly repeated
his question.
"Oh. shut up" Mr.. Brown sail i'm
patiently.
'Du Dist Elm Englaender," Schmidt
announced with malevolent glare at
his captive.
''No, I'm an American" he explained.
"Amerikaner?" the sergeant repeat
ed obviously.
''Yes, Americanew Charlie mimicked
him. congratulating himself that the
German language offered fewer diff
culties than the French. He even be-
gan to pride himself on being a natural
linguist. And in order to convince this
fellow beyond a possibility of doubt,
he reached a hand toward his hip

Is situated the arsenal and iron fOun-
dries. Wuchang, a city in itself of
100000, is a walled city, but the for
eign concessions all lie along the river
in Hankow. Wuchang is not an open
port such as is Hankow, but it has a
number of big industrial institutions,
among them a wooden mill, a cotton
mill, and an albumen factory.
viii Be Busiest Place in China.
Northeast of Wuchang, in the obtuse
angle formed by the junction of the
Han and Yangtse Kiang, is situated the
port, or mart" of Hankow, designed
to be the busiest place in China as soon
as the three cities merge into Greater
Hankow. Hanyang takes its name
from the two rivers, Han and Yangtse
Kiang. In Hanyang lies most of Great
er Hankow's claim to distinction as an
active industrial center.
Here is located the Hanyang iron
works founded by the late Chang Chin
tung. These huge works own their
own ore and coal fields located near
by. Rails for China's roads used to
come principally from us; now they
come from the Hanyang mills. AID
arms factory is also located at Han.
yang, and many thousands of Chinese
are employed there under the dIrec-
ton of skilled foreigners.
For all practical purposes Hanyang
may be considered as merely forming
suburb of Hankow. The construc-
ffnn Of hi
river will probably not be practicable,
owing to the sudden and great changes
in the height of the water level 1t is
therefore proposed to facilitate com
munication between the two cities by
means of a transporter, and when this
contrivance is completed the three riv-
er towns will practically be welded into
one, forming Greater Hankow.
Hankow is the strategic center for
China's system of railroads. Its riv-
ers are continually choked with traffic.
Hitherto the only wharves available
have been in the foreign concessions In
Hankow proper. No intercommunica-
ton was hitherto possible between the
three cities, all within stones throw,
and aggregating 100000 people.
When Hankow was burned during
the revolution, the citizens began to
rebuild along the old, insanitary lines
II was this woeful inclination ON the
part of the people which made the gov
eminent step in and borrow money
with which to rebuild on approved
lines which will make Hankow what
nature designed 1t to be, the greatest
industrial city In Asia. Ocean-going
vessels may lie at dock In Hankow 900
miles from salt water, almost as far
inland as Chicago is from the Atlantic,

CHAPTER xlv.-Contlnued.

Here, pleasew she said to the lieu
tenant. From the bosom OF her gown
she had drawn forth a small gold
medal, which hung upon a ribbon
about her neck.
He looked at 1t closely, for Lieu
tenant Baum was no man to take I'M
necessary risks. Thoroughness was his
middle name.
From the German secret service
the Wilhelmstrassew he exclaimed,
when he had satisfied himself "Your
pardon. madame! / did not under
stand" And he bowed deeply.
She acknowledged his apology with
the slightest of mods. And with an as
sumed calm that she was far from feel
ing, she said to him in a confidential
manner:
81 am here on confidential mission,
and one thing at once l must know.
Tell me, lieutenant, by which road do
we march to attack the fortress at the
frontierT'
by the left fork, madame" he an
swered without hesitation. That token
from the Wilhelmstrasse - obtained
from Streetman-had quite disarmed
his suspicious.
"Goodl Goodr' Ethel exclaimed. 81
have studied the country hereabouts.
That is the best way. Good
night!'
Madame shall not be disturbed fur
ther." the lieutenant promised. 81 will
explain to the major when he returns"
'9Thank you so much You have
been so very nice to mer'
Madame is welcome" he said, with
another low bow.
Smiling happily, Ethel left him. She
congratulated herself, both because she
had escaped detection and because
she had obtained the information that
was so vital to the French.
AS he watched her departure, the
young German officer smiled likewise
1t was good to have a few minutes
talk with lady of his own class. after
the canaille with which he had been
obliged to mingle since the great drive
began. And, putting out his chest to
its largest dimensions, he stepped into
the street In his complacency. over
work that he considered well done he
had entirely forgotten that there still
remained another suspect to question
the innkeepers American gentleman.

MAKING Baskets

Little children in the Philippines
make baskets, and If you have ever
happened to examine any of their work
manship, you will see how perfect 1t is,
and wonder how such tiny children, as
some of them are, could weave the bas-
kets so perfectly. The little children
in this country have begun to do some
work of that sort with raffia, but they
do not equal the children of the islands
in designing and making baskets.
These are of all shapes, and it is said
that no two are alike, and yet the de-
sign is so perfect that it can be meas
ured in any part. The government
agent gathers up the baskets and pays
the children who make them, and then
they are sold in this country.

CHAPTER XVI.
Interviewing the Major.

The sergeant saluted, clicked his
spurs together. moved majestically to
position in front of the cigar case,
and clicked his heels again. Judging
by his movements, one might almost
have supposed him to be some great
mechanical doll. But Charlie Brown
was quite certain that he, for one.
had no desire to play with him.

major.

American remarked generously.

Sergeant Schmidt's eagle eye no
sooner detected the move of hand
toward hip than he thrust his revolver
into Mr.. Browns stomach.
"Haltr
That was something that Charlie
understood without difficulty, too He
raised both hands above his head as
high as he could get them, while a
look of ineffable disgust suffused his
face.
you d-n fool" he exclaimed
"I'n not reaching for a gun. These
are my passports. Lookl Papersl"
With a shake and twist he managed
TO throw his coat back from his right
hip. And Sergeant Schmidt then pro-
ceeded to relieve him OF the bulky
packet that projected from the pocket
He looked at them with a scowl.
"Ah, you are Franzoesischv he de-
clared, still in his native tongue, for
he knew no other.
I'm what?' Charlie inquired.
"Franzoesisch! You are no Ameri-
kaner."
Charlie grasped only the last word.
Eyes, that's right-Americane, right
from the corner of Forty second street
and Broadway; and, believe me. l wish

What do you say?" the sergeant
asked him.
None OF your d-n business.
You bonehead." Mr.. Brown
was quite enjoying himself abusing
that walking arsenal with impunity.
Have a cigarette?" he asked, holding
out his case.
Sergeant Schmidt was not above ac-
cepting one. even from the enemy. And
he thanked Charlie in a voice as gentle
as bass drum.
Gee, I'd like to give you one good
wallop on the nose just for luck" the
American remarked longingly.
Then Schmidt suddenly snatched off
Mr.. Browns hat.
mix on the Hermann stuff-what
are you doing?" Charlie demanded. He
began TO feel as If he were taking part
in slapstick vaudeville skit.
The sergeant had his face buried in
side the hat. He was looking for
clues.
"Englischr he sputtered the next
moment.
"Of course it's Englishw Charlie re.
torted. at cost me two-and-six." he
added, regarding the rough handling OF
his straw with indignation.
Sergeant Schmidt leaned over, and
seizing Charles coat by the collar
he pulled it back from his neck while
he examined the label.
English also. Spionl Thou art an
English spy"
His trusty henchmen, Hans and
Otto, together with their corporal
brought their guns up to their sides
and, kissing "Spion" in the most sin
lister manner ina ginable. they all three
approached Charlie threateningly.
Mr. Brown suddenly changed his
mind about the vaudeville. 1t seemed
to him that possibly he had been un
Willingly cast for a tragedy.
"Spion-spion!' he repeated. Good
grief. you don't mean spy?"
"Spy, spy-ja wohl," said Schmidt
"Komm hierw

faced him about so that he confronted

then the sergeant ordered them to load.
Charlie observed the operation with
increasing alarm.
Good God, you're not going to shoot
mer he cried I'm not English. I'm
not spy" And remembering all at
once that the girl whom he had first
met at the house of Sir George Wag-
STAFF in London could speak German.
he yelled at the top of his voice, MA

The two privates were aiming at
him now. And he faced them indig-
nantly. His anger was already begin
ming to get the better of his fear.
