Hats of TO the cleverest press agent
story of modern times. Old p. T.
Barnum never did better in his palm.
lest days. Old or new, at large or in
captivity, IT is without doubt the best
piece Of work extant of its kind.
It was all about the Princess Tatiana,
apparently, and the reading public fol-
lowed with breathless interest from
day TO day the steps Of her reported
progress in escaping from the land of
the former Gar to the home of the
free. And now IL seems that instead
Of the Princess Tatiana there is travel
ing 10 the United States Mrs. H.
Romanof, Russian prima donna.
In the eleverly disguised dope sent
out, dope so clever that the Associa-
ted Press was carrying il daily as a
news story, II seemed likely that Mich
olas Romanoff, former Gear Of Russia,
and Princess Tatiana, would arrive in
Honolulu yesterday. In preparation
for this event Detective MeDuffie and
coterie Of well.groomed sleuths were
on hand when the ship locked to act
as the royal bodyguard.
Royalty Undiscoverable
But alas and alacki The Royal
Romanoffs did not arrive and many
individuals are bemoaning their loss
in having their suits pressed two
weeks ahead of the usual time. II was
a detected looking band Of detectives
that eventually filed along the pier
and up town in the direction Of their
cobwebbed apartments on Merchant
Street.
By a strange coincidence Mr.. and
Mrs. II. Romanof figured on the pass
enger list yesterday, and for time
1t was opined that this couple were
the deposed Gar and his daughter,
travelling incognito. But 1t was a mis-
take. Mrs. II. Romanoff is famous
Russian prima donna journeying to
the States with her husband.
Escape Story Is Discredited
It was generally disclaimed by
ships officers that either the Gear or
Princess Tatiana Romanoff had escap-
ed from Siberia and were making their
way to America. The belief had pre-
vailed for a time in the Orient that
the Romanoffs had eluded their
guards, but the story has since been
diseredited, according to one officer
yesterday. s.a.srr 80.
A recent San Francisco exchange
comments as follows on the rumor:
"The story of the escape of the
former Grand Duchess through a mock
marriage, which was accredited TO Ivan
Narodny, one of the members of the
New York Office of the society, now is
regarded by most Russians in the
United States and many others as
somebody's good joke" - r..
The Russian consul at San Francisco
has also denied the ,rumor, and declares
that the story was one of the biggest
newspaper hoaxes yet perpetrated.

wv guard? -t.
This time II is Governor Pinkham who raises
.,s question and who likewise attempts to answer
1t, taking advantage OF A. L. Castles visit to Ka-
uai on Red Cross work and the absence from the
city Of all but one member Of the food commits
sion to inform the public, by inference that it
was Mr. Castle who did the deed. ~
The Governor publishes copy Of letter sent
by Mr. Castle to the Delegate, as attorney for the
territorial food commission, and various other cor
respondence, including some Of mis- own misin-
formative cables but the expose" lacks one vital
document. That is letter sent to the Governor,
or to the Office of the adjutant general by General
Mann, in charge of the bureau of militia affairs at
Washington. In this letter, which the Governor
does not publish, it is specifically and explicitly
stated that the main reason which determined the
bureau not to mobilize the national guard of Ha-
waii was the cabled request of Governor Pinkham
to Secretary Lane that army transports be used
TO bring two thousand Filipino laborers to Hawaii
That letter is on an official file in Honolulu,
easily available to the Governor. The fact that it
was carefully excluded from the record made pub
lie by Pnkham yesterday and the further fact
that the cable to which it refers reached Wash
ington ahead OF any other communication deal
ing with the guard and the labor situation ought
to be illuminating. -. =.
Pinkham's statement yesterday says that on
May 10 he knew there was no present shortage
Of labor" but on May IL, just two days later, he
csbied to the war department through Secretary
Lane, his endorsement of the plan to use army
transports to bring to Hawaii two thousand more
Filipino laborersl r.. H.
No wonder Governor Pinkham arrives at the
conclusion that "the public can now form its own
judgement as to how and by whom the National
Guard Of Hawaii has been prevented in its aspira-
tions TO serve its country" + .'... ~, d..
Even with the suppression of vital facts and the
perversfon Of others, the Governor cannot slide
from under, nor saddle the responsibility OF the
national guard 6asco upon anyone but himself.
1t was his cable to Washington regarding the
urgency for transportation to Hawaii of Filipino,
,aborers that knitted the national guard and he has
the proof of it in his own hands, The fact that a
part Of his motive was to make trouble in bust
ness way for Clinton ]. Hutchins, an open candi-
date against him for the governorship, does not
make his action in the matter any the more saw
cry, either. .>s|...s. g. ..

Conserving Labor

THE mainland labor shortage continues with
= out change and ways and means of improv-
ing the situation are being discussed. The nation
is facing war conditions in grave earnest. One
suggestion recently advanced has been that the
manufacture OF pleasure automobiles, furniture,
jewelry, and the finer classes of clothing be dis
continued until after the war, in order that the
laborers they employ may be transferred to the
essential industries '.".'
Another suggestion is that during the war the
iaborday be heightened 1t is pointed out that
men ought to do more work in the course Of every
twenty-four hours, rather than less. The resump-
ton of the ten-hour and tweve-hour days, volun-
tarily, measure OF war economy would do
much to solve the labor problem. r@l%

The Next Draft

that the greatest question now confronting the

The military, financial and transportation prob
lens are being solved When it comes to raising
an army, arming il, and training two million men
in the art and science of modern warfare, there
is no hack OF willing helpers, civilian and govern

Of willing and loyal endeavor, for it has become
Il personal matter with all our people that each
and every American shall help to win the war.
III the administration expresses a need congress
hastens to satisfy it. If money is asked casa is
forthcoming; if men, every home offers its best.
II the dictum comes that must save, or go
without, rich and poor, high and low, bend their
every effort towards contamination of the desired
end. ."....-....
But saving and personal sacrifice alone are not
going to win the war. They are going to help
tide over the next and crucial year OF this world
struggle but if the United States is to do all that
the world expects of it, next year must be marked
by the most tremendous agricultural production
in all history, .."& .'..=.. -
We have rich lands all the capital necessary to

Here is needfu work where every hand can be
employed, and where there need be no physical
examinations, no pleas for exemption from service.

Tor It may be taken for granted that any citizen
Of a foreign nation living here has chosen his
domiciie of his own free WILL and must see the
