PowderieSS Gun Deadly

An American inventive genius has invented a powderless gun, which may revolutionze land attacks. The gun, which might be taken for a large grindstone at short distance, is re volved at great speed by an electric motor, and is capable of firing hun dreds of shots minute. The bullets are carried in small cups. which hold them until the gun reaches the proper position for their discharge by centrif- ugal force. The weapon IS accurate at five miles, is cheap to operate, and is noiseless.

PARAGUAYAN VIEW
 OF UNITED STATES

Dr. Cecilio Baez, former president Of Paraguay and Paraguayan minister in Washington, has recently written the following article in regard to Amer ica's policy in the war:
 ''The reception given at this time to the American fleet by the Govern ments of Brazil, Argentina, and Uru guay, with enthusiastic popular mani testations, shows plainly enough that here exists union of interests, ..both moral and material, between the grand l republic of the north and the coun- tries of South America.
 "Ihe present war proves, conclu- sively that our young republics still need the. protection of the United States in order to live peaceable with each other and to be assured freedom | from aggression on the part of the mil 1 tary powers of the old world which 1 aspire to control our destinles. Ger 1 many was on the point 10 provoke a 1 war of conquest in Latin America in order to be better prepared to fight the United States and England. Fortu- nately that internal scheme has failed completely.
 "In tho midst of the great world strife the peace in Latin America is due to the attitude of the United u uhich lilo rHiup gal 1 watches over the welfare of our countries. The Government at Wash, ington does not demand any material | aid from these countries; she only asks
 for their moral support and that they oppose all schemes of German intrigue while she devotes herself to the work of defending the liberties of mankind on the seas and on the battle fields ot western Europe.
 The moral support has not beep de- nied. It has been given with all spon- taneity and enthusiasm, as it was na, ural that all the democraces of Amer ica would accompany her with plaud ts and with fondest hopes for the triumph, of the good cause The friendly atli- l tude of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, anu Guatemala is in an especial manner an eloquent demonstration of American union. Paraguay shares in this senti. ment, as she has given evidence of her sincere adhesion to the cause which the United States and the other powers of the entente defend. "I believe that I do not fall far shor, of the truth when l say that men in public life in Paraguay think as follows:
 CD That were it not for the power and evolence-of the United States toward her sister republics they would have been oppressed or subjected tc anarchy by foreign powers.
 ''(2) That among the republics them selves peace would not be assured bul for tho respect that they owe to the United States.
 ''(3) That there is no reason to mis trust the United Stases so long as our Republics respect themselves and each other as civilized countries respect the rights of others.
 And, being Americans, we congratu- late the people and Government of Ar gentina for the cordial reception which they have just given to the United States fleet. Official Bulletin.

JOYFUL ALOHAS
ON RETURN HOME

Joy beaming on their faces as they
impatiently stamped their feet on the
deck and shouted greetings to friends
awaiting them. the group OF promin-
emit young Honolulaps who returned
from the mainland on the Matsonia
yesterday morning was the picture OF
the long lost friend returning 70
home, sweet home.
Not TO be outdone by the water
Itself, q party consisting OF Herman,
Ronald, Hilda and Mary Won Holt,
Dixon Mott, and others jumped onto
the Young brothers excursion launch
1T $50 q. m. and scaled the side
OF the boat outside OF the harbor
the minute anyone was allowed on
board. The greetings started out
on the boat and not until the home
corners had landed did the exchange
OF greetings and gifts Of flowers stop.
As Misses Phoebe and Elizabeth
Carter went down the gang plank a
lire Of girls formed on the dock and
when the Misses Carter finally
reached the land they ran the gaunt-
LEI OF this line, kissed everyone In II
and received leis and greetings such
as could only be given in Honolulu.
@GIad TO get back" and "tickled to
death" were no words for the tearfui
yet happy arrival Of Honolulus
young people. Only In the appealing
calls that passed over the edge OF
the boat and the vociferous kisses
which were given on every side was
there q true expression OF this home
coming.
vernon Tenney, son Of e. D. Ten
ney. who caused his parents mucn
worry at the opening of the war by
leaving college and entering the Ere
sidio and the officers reserve train
ing camp, was among the returning

Two years ago, scouts, in the city
OF Washington, D. c., there was
wonderful parade composed of some
thousands of Civil war Veterans-old
men all; some limping, some blind
in one eye, some with only one arm;
but all alert" and showing that won
derful spirit of cheerfulness that only
men who are brave can show. These
men had once offered their lives to
cause that they believed right to
| fight over-some believed in slavery
| for the negro, while others believed
in his freedom. And so they fought
| It out-way back in the Sos. And
| the negro became free. Fifty years
later the surviving soldiers walked
along side by side. a gray perhaps
with a blue-its all the same now
while thousands and thousands OF
people cheered from the bleachers.
And the flag-bearers who were proud
! est were those whose flags had tie
most bullet-holes!
Now we are facing another crisis
in our history, only this time it's with
another nation instead Of just among
ourselves at home. We like to feel. of
course, that our own big brother will
never feel the Craze of bullet; but
nevertheless he has to put his name
down on the list Of those who may
be called. And he must go with
cheer from those who stay behind
not tears.
Now our men are registering, for
the government has proclaimed the
need; and think of the glory ahead
for those that are brayest, new coun-
tries to see, excitement on every
hand, a chance to show what you re
made Of. Honolulu scouts have been
asked TO help on this last day to give
of time and cheer. And you know
how, We trust you.
Scouts are to assemble at the Cap
itOl grounds at $50 a m. to receive
full instruction and assignment. Each
scout master will then proceed to the
booth to which he has been assigned,
taking a patrol of six or eight scouts
which shall include scouts familiar
with the languages spoken in the pre-
IEinCt in which they are TO be located.
1t is expected that automobiles will
be available to carry those who have
some distance to go. Arrangements
will be made so that each scout Will
, have about four hours duty and two
hours Of rest.
The chief duties Of the scouts will
he that OF directing those who are
registering to the proper places and
Of seeing that they maintain orderly
lines

The meeting held by the members
of Troop V was very short There
were only "a scouts present which was
considered a poor attendance. The
boys failed to show up on account OF
working. After the roll was called
to order Mr.. Burnham gave a short
talk on Scouting" which the boys
were very glad to hear. After the
meeting the boys were put through
a fancy drill which our commissioner,
Mr.. Burnham, appreciated very much.

MUSICMASTERDIES
AS HIS VIOLIN SOBS
TOSTPS GOODBYE

DETROIT, Aug. 2s-"Shadows are
falling for you and me-"
1t was the sad cadence Of Tosti's
Goodbye" that an old man OF bent
but classic aspect played on an an
Client Cremona violin in McGregor In
stitute Saturday evening, and an au-
dience Of unfortunate men listened
with eyes downcast and brimming
with tears-for they sensed how ap-
propriate was the composers measure.
As the violin sobbed on, its strains
mounted to a crescendo OF despair
and the old man trembled and be
came ashen. With all his ferver, he
drew from his instrument the i'm
mortal Goodbye Forever"
At the height OF its appeal, the
Cremona suddenly was stilled. The
bow quivered, the bent form of the
player convulsed, and he fell forward
to the floor, his beloved instrument
clasped to his breast.
1t was the last goodbye Of Fritz
Hassfurther, the requiem of a life
blasted by misfortune. The age
dimmed instrument from old Italy
had for the last time felt the caress-
Ing touch of its master.
Hassfurther was seventy-fiye years
old. and was born in Bavaria, Ger
many. He lived in Detroit more than
twenty years, coming to this city from
Philadelphia Earlier in life he had
been successful as a teacher of the
piano and had many pupils.
