And vet II was not the young men

their pride Of country this day; Tor
patriotism also moved veterans oil

with drum and bugle, regulars from
the army who furnished music foI
the day, women of the city who served
meals TO the tired workers IN the
booths. boy scouts who acted as aides
and messengers, and men above mill
fary age who furnished cars and
showed other tokens Of interest u
make the day q success.
Early returns showed that the reg
istration would be heavy and com
nlete. From the time the booth doorz
first swung open this morning Ions
lines faced the entrances.
All Races Represented
Americans, Hawaiians, Portuguese,
Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and Fill
uinos, every race on the globe; ar
tizans, engineers, business and pro
fessionai men, fishermen, stevedores,
nsen or toll and men OF leisure gave
ready response.
The work during the earlier part of
the day moved slower, owing to the
diversity OF races for registration and
tiae difficulty OF 0interpreting to all
with alscgity, but later this afternoon
nc lines In front Of the booths began
to move faster and Il was expected

Since z o'clock this morning the

With men awaiting their turn before

Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-07-31

throughout the district the registra'
ton is being conducted with surpris-
ing alacrity and smoothness. En-
thusiasm is running high, stirred up
by the flying Stars and Stripes and
the blare Of bands.
The women are doing their "bit" in
the fourth today. After each man has
registered q tiny tri-colored ribbon is
pinned on his coat, which signifies to
all that he has put down his name
and is among the millions who stand
ready to defend their country.
Governor Pinkham and Brig. Gen.
Samuel I. Johnson, N. G. H., visited
practically all the precincts in the
Fourth this morning and expressed
satisfaction at the speed with which
the registration is being conducted
Marshal ]. J. Smiddy and U. s. Attor-
ney s. c. Huber also visited the pre-
cincts.
So large was the throng at the reg.
istration booth at the Central Fire Sta.
ton this morning that 1t was found
necessary to establish a second booth
with, Representative T. H. Petrie in
charge.
Some Of the registrars have ex,
pressed doubt as to whether the work
of signing up the men can be com.
pleted by 8 o'clock this evening, the
hour designated for the closing Of
the booths. While the registration
through the morning was heavy, 1t is
expected that there will be still
greater rush late this afternoon and
this evening.
Out at Kalakaua avenue and John
Ena road there was q small near riot
this morning when about so husky
young fellows took the registration
booth by storm and demanded admis-
sion. In order to prevent conges'
tion-and ii was unbearably hot in
the booth, anyway-Boy Scouts were
forced to use their slaves to keep the
crowd back.
A noteworthy feature of the regis
t-ation in the Fourth district is the
large number of single men who are
registering and who are not claiming
exemption. A majority Of the men
with wives and children or other rela-
tiyes depending solely upon them for
support, are claiming exemption, a
thing which they are entitled to do at
this time.
From all appearances there are no
'slackers" in Honolulu today. If there
are, they are at home or hiding un.
der the proverbial haystack, for they
are not in the vicinity Of the regis
tration booths.
Great numbers OF japanese, aliens
and citizens are registering, as we'll
as persons Of practically all other ma.
tionalities represented in Hawaii.
Each booth is we'll provided with in
terpreters who are taking keen in.
terest in their work
Throughout the Fourth district to-
day there was no disturbance Of any
kind. No one was seen under the in
fluence Of liquor and there were no
fights or other unpleasant incidents.
Up to IL o'clock today the registra
ton in the Fourth district was as fol-
lows:

Registration is unusually heavy in
the twelfth Of the Fourth, those reg

having stood at 10 at II o'clock.

ANTHRAX
SCARE EXPLODED

What appears to be so-called
remedy for an obnoxious disease Is
contained in the bottle labeled pol
son" which, among other things, was
in possession of Max Weber, time
keeper at the Pioneer Mill Co.. when
he was arrested recently in Hilo, &C
cording to the belief Of federal Of
ficials.
Weber was brought to Honolulu
this morning in the custody of Dep
uty Marshal Silva. He will be or
dered committed to Oahu prison as
a person dangerous to the public
peace and safety" How long he will
remain in prison is not known yet
but it is not likely, says U. s. Attorney
S. c. Huber, that he will be sent to
a plantation on one of the other is
lands.
Vague reports from Hilo which
reached Honolulu following Weber's
arrest were to the effect that the
bottle labeled poison" contained an
thrax germs. This report is secuted
by the federal officials, but they have
decided to turn the contents of the
bottle over to the federal chemist for
analysis. In Weber's possession also
were found a number of German war
bonds and several loaded cartridges
Little stress is laid on the war bonds
by the federal officials, as it is their
opinion that undoubtedly large num-
Der of Germans in the territory pur.
chased these bonds, the same as
Americans have purchased bonds is
sued by the United States govern
ment
The course to be taken in the Weber
case is the same as the one pursued
against five German sailors on the
ship Gamble who were put in prison
as a precautionary move.

EVER RECORDED HI

The month of November, 1917, was
the warmest month, according to the
records at the weather Office, that has
ever been recorded here. The mean
temperature for the month was 46 de-
grees. The highest mean temperature
before recorded for November was 43
degrees in 1899, 1904 and 1914. The
normal for the month is 1876 degrees
and this shows an average daily excess
for this year Of plus l2.l degrees. The
highest temperature recorded during the
month was 72 degrees on November 3
and the lowest was II on November 27.
The greatest daily range was SO degrees
on November 10 aud the lowest was / /
on November 9.
In precipitation this section did not
fare very well. The total for the month
was 0.0l inches and as the normal for
the month IS G.46 inches this shows a
deficiency for the month of 045 inches
This gives an accumulated deficiency
since January of 207 inches.
There were II clear days during the
month, IA partly cloudy and but four

ALL REGlSTRANTS
Must Keep Government Posted.-Up to
Drafted Men to Notify Officials
of Change in Address.

Governor Norbeck Saturday received
a telegram from General Crowder, in
which he asks that all possible publicity
be given to registrants in regard to the
coming of the questionaires, which will
be mailed out beginning December Is.
All registrants are warned that where
they have changed their locations, and
their postottice address since the time of
their registration, to at once communi-
cate with their local boards and give
their present address.
The notice says "Registrants are
bound by law to keep themselves ad-
vised of all proceedings in respect Of
them and failure to do so may result in
their losing their right to claim exemp.
ton or discharge. The telegram asks
that newspapers give this the broadest
possible publicity, from this time until
the process of mailing the questionaires
has been accomplished.

BANK GUARANTY LAW.

Pierre-While bankers fought the
bank act long time in this state, and
when it went into effect several state
banks changed their charter to national
banks to get out from under the guar
anty provisions. But now that the law
has had practical working test the
changes are going the other way. The
First National Bank of South Shore has
changed its charter from a national to a
state bank, under the new title of South
Shore Bank. The First National Bank
of Henry has changed its charter to that
of state bank under the name of State
Bank of Henry.
The Lamro State bank has increased
its capital from $4,000 to $4,000. The
practical working tests of the bank guar
anty law of this state have been 80 salts.
factory that the opposition which was
voiced before the enactment of the law,
and over the situation before the law
had a working test, has all vanished and
instead of working against the state
banks it has strengthened them as fin.
ancial factors of this state.

DISTRIBUTION OF

bAbOh In STATE.
Pierre, Nov. 29.-Commissoner of
Immigration McCafree has recently
been in conference with Commissioner
General Caminetti Of the United States
department of labor, and more CON-
plete and effective service for the secur-
ing and distributing of labor in South
Dakota has been arranged.
A service will be conducted by the
federal department of labor and the
state department of immigration, who
will maintain central Office through all
the year, and at least five other offices
during the busy season. Actively en-
gagged with them will be Mr.. Ostrander
and his assistant as representatives of
the department of agriculture, who
plan to assist in distributing farm labor.
This service, in cooperation with the
state council of defense, it is planned,
will know the need of every employer
in the state, and will endeavor to place
each days work that may be given
South Dakotans and then secure from
outside the state what additional help is
necessary on the farms and in the in
dustries. The state department is given
the promise of this service before the
farm needs begin in the spring.
At the present time, the department
of immigration has a number of mar
red couples who would like places, and
| also some single men who will take
winter jobs, and number who want to
| rent on shares. Anyone who can use
such service should write the depart
ment at Pierre.

A PROPHECY.

Mrs. George Royal furnished this of.
fee with copy of her old home paper
of recent date, which contains proph-
ecy which We believe might prove in
teresting reading, as follows:
At the request of patrons we publish a
translation of an ancient prophecy
which was recently published in the
Mendoza Post. In an old bible found
by workmen in tearing down a wall in
the convent of the Holy Ghost at Wis
mar in Mecklengburg, schwerin, Ger
many, an old parchment was discovered
which contained prophetic inscription.
The parchment is now exhibited under
glass in the city hall of Wismar.
The prophecy was written in the year
of 1871 and is as follows;
ooh Lord, have on thy people who
turn away from thee more and more.
They demoish thy cloisters and destroy
thy holy orders. They usurp the power
and apply it to their ends. Europe will,
at time when the papal seat is vacant
be visited by terrible chastisement
Malice, defamation, hatefullness, will in
cite small group. Murder of prince
will set the world ablaze. Seven nations
will rise against one bird with one head
one bird with two heads. The birds
will shelter their rights with their claws.
A Prince of the Center who mounts his
steed or the wrong side, will be sur
rounded by wall of foes. His motto
is: Forward with God Gods al
mightiness will be with him and lead
him from victory to victory. There will
be a great strife in the east and west and
it will destroy many men. Carriages
will speed without horses, fiery dragons
will fly through the air and vomit fire
and sulphur, destroy cities and villages
and men will look on helpless. The
people will hear the warning of God,
and God will turn sway his face. This
uproar will persist three years and five
months, famine, epidemic and pestience
will claim many men. The time will be
when thon cans't neither buy nor sell.
The bread will be marked and divided.
The waters of the ocean will be red of
the blood and men will live on the bot.
tom of the sea and watch for their prey.
The people of the seven stars will enter
the strife, attack the bearded people in
the rear and turn from the Center. The
whole lower Rhine will quake and
tremble, but will not succumb but re-
main to the end of time. The land in
the West will be a land Of destruction
and ruin. The land in the sea will be
smitten with its King and 20 down to
the lowest depths of distress but the
bearded people endure long. All ma
tions will be dragged into the suffering
and there will be a turmoil of all nations.
The victor carries cross and between
four cities with four like towers, the
final decision will be. There stands
cross between two lindens, Here the
victor will kneel, lift his arms and thank
his God. All dances of ungodliness the
war will remove and restore godly order
in church, state and family. The war
will begin when the ears in the field
bend low with kernel, will reach its
heighth when the cherry trees blossom
the third time. Peace will be proclaim
ed by the Prince at the time of the
Christmas. Gillette News.

POULTRY THE BEST CHANCE.

Poultry may be produced next year in
places where it has not been produced
before, and everywhere that poultry has
been produced that production must be
increased. 1t is necessary that people
in the country and in the towns answer
alike to this call Farms and backyards
must both do their bit, for the doubling
of our poultry production next year is
an indispensable item in the Nations
food production program--a program
which must be carried out if we are to
win the war.
The meat supplies available for Fur
opean use are short. Meat must be sup
piled il the war is won-by the forces
who fight for freedom. The war will be
won if we fail in food production-but
not won by us. We must understand
what will happen if we do not provide
the enormous quantities of foodstufis
that the Allies can not produce for them
selves.
Are we going to feed our Army on
chickens and eggs? OF course not. But
by greatly increasing our production of
chickens and eggs, and by eating those
chickens and eggs ourselves we will,
naturally, eat that much less beef and
pork. In turn, that beef and pork can
be sent to Europe.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture calls upon the country to double
poultry production nextye That can
be done if the farms will keep an aver
age of 100 hens instead of an average of
40 hens, as at present, and if every fam
lily in town will keep enough hens in the
backyard to produce all the eggs used by
that family,-or two hens to each per-
son,-From the Department of Agri-
culture.
