Editor Honolulu star.BulIetin.

Editor Honolulu Star!Bulletin.
Sir The Gospel Mission Home has
met q special need of Honolulu.
At the present time there are two
homes, one for boys, one for women
and girls. Just now there are % IN
all, though there have been more At
times. We now have seven nationah-
ties. the majority Porto Riean and
Spanish.
A number of the women and child
rem have left for the coast, families
have been reunited. marriages con-
tracted, and the nome Is open to
handle any emergency cases that may
arise, as long as its capacity can ae-
commodate them.
l have felt that an industrial farm
close to the city would be the best
thing for the women and children,
and diligent efforts have been made
TO locate such a place.
Financial reasons have delayed the
carrying out Of this plan. for it ueces-
states putting up some buildings.
An option has been secured on Is
acres in Palolo valley, and plans are
now being made to erect dormitories
for boys and girls and women.
/ hope to have the institution moved
into the country In a short time, II
all goes well.
The results accomplished have been
very gratifying, and more results are
looked for If we are able to get into
the country. But it Is necessary to
be, close to the city to handle emer-
gency cases. The farm expect to
get is two miles from the car line.

Rome, Dec. 2o.-The Italian war
on1ce today issued the following
statement:
Yesterday, the seventh day of the
battle between the Brenta and Pr
ave, the enemy concentrated his eff
forts almost exclusively on the
Monte Solarolo salient AT II o'clock
in the morning after several hours of
most violent fire extending from the
Col Dell Orso to Porte di salton, col
umns Of infantry from the northeast
and the north were launched, against
our position.
1.-THE former, which advanced from
the southeastern slope Of Monte
Spinonci, was caught by our artillery
and a most effective and concentrat-
ed fire from French batteries. 1t
was forced to stop and give up the
attack before getting in contact with
our line.
THE latter, consisting of whole
division Of German troops, preceded
by assault detachments made d.
rect and decided thrust against Mon
to Solarolo and the northern slopes
at the head of the Calcino valley
Our troops put up most stubborn
resistance and the enemy, after
desperate struggle, being badly cut
up by our fire and worn out by our
counter attacks, was obliged to sus-
pend action and return to his own
lines. We captured prisoners and
some machine guns.
I'm the Col Della Beretta region
thrust on the part of the enemy in
fantry was crushed promptly by our
fire. On the remainder of the front
the fighting activity was very mod
crate"
