from which came the wailing of a
child.
Adams cut the cord and, unwrapping
the paper covering, found n gray blan-

form of a baby boy, fist to his eyes

CHEERFUL WORDS
For Many a Pierre household

To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed, to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous urin-
airy disorders, is enough to make any
kidney ssntferer grateful. The fol-
lowing advice of one who has suffer
ed will prove helpful to hundreds of
Pierre readers.

east of Pierre, says: For years |
suffered from kidney complaint, the
first symptom being too frequent pas

Johnny got a brand new sled
That made him shout "Hurrah!"
A dream Of pleasure filled his head
And then there came a Jhaw.
Sister got a stunning gown
With pride it made her smile.
Within the week She wore a frown-
The rags were out of style.
Brother got a motor car,
A beauty without a doubt.

Before a tire blew out.

His heart with hope did thump.
A rumor brought a sudden shock.
The family in a slump.

FUNEREAL QUIET
PREVAILS might
BEFORE HOLIDAY

Last night was one of the quietest
pre-holiday nights Honolulu has ever
seen. With practically every big
business establishment in Honolulu
giving it's employees a holiday so they
could register today, it might have
been expected that the usual crowd
before holiday would be seen upon
the streets. and in the theaters and
saloons celebrating the fact that
there is no work tomorrow
But such was not the case. Not
even the customary number of night
hawks" were about. 1t was, in other
words, a dead quiet night. It in no
wise approached in WITNESS a Satur-
day evening and was, in truth, quieter
than any other blue Monday night"
All which is easily explained, when
one notes the self evident fact that
today is considered a holiday for
pleasure-not even by the so-calIed
rough necks.": But one in prepare
ton for a serious duty which this
country has obliged itself to perform
the overpowering Of the military
mad Huns.

in a plot to foment a rebellion in In

pressed the opinion that Schroeder

A report prevalent today that John

sum of $4,000, the bond being prtn-
cipally for his appearance before the
proper federal officials in San Fran

At MARE island

Lieut.. Carroll Byrd. United States

of the Mills school faculty, was one
of those injured in the Mare Island
explosion a few weeks agi. His In
juries were minor ones.
Word received yesterday from Miss

strange manner in which the young
lieutenant was injured.
He had come from San Diego for
duty at Mare Island and was ap-
preaching the naval station in boat
when the explosion occurred. The
boat, which was about half a mile
from the island, was seemingly lifted
clear of the water. Lieut.. Byrd was
standing in a doorway and was thrown
to the floor by the conclusion, the
heavy door crashing after him and
falling across his nose and chest.

wv = 1ASHINGTON, February 20---
wv The condition of the United
States for war, on land and
sea, is being definitely ascertained for
the President, according to orders
issued last night
The President has called upon the
bureau chiefs of the Army aud Navy
to compile for him an exact appraise.
menf of the present condition Of the
fighting forces of the country, with
especial reference to the readiness Of
the Navy to sail on active service and
to the state of preparedness Of the
Army, both regulars aud militia, to
take the field.
Preparedness Steps
These steps are but few which the
government is now taking with all pos
sible speed to meet the crisis with Ger.
many, which, it Is felt here, is daily be-
coming more and more acute as the re-
ports Of illegal sinking Of mefchapt-
men come TO hand and the toll Of tho
'unlawful acts Of the TenlVnie slIbma
ript grows 1atger and larger -. W
Congress and other departments Of
the government are now wasting no
time in getting ready for the dfAt light.
ing, The house tonight will hold the
first Of the night sessions II has de-
cided upon in order TO rush through the
enormous volume of business that Is
pending. The Democratic leaders have
reached the conclusion that nothing Is
to be allowed TO interfere with the pro-
gram which the administration has
mapped out to put the country into a
state of preparedness or TO finish the
mass of work that must be accom-
plished before the sixtyffourth congress
comes 10 an end.
Army Bill Is First
| First on the list of bills that must
become laws before March A, is the
Army Appropriation Bill, which was re-
ported favorably by committee last
night, and which is to be rushed
through the house with all possible
speed.
This will be followed by the Military
Academy Bill, which also is scheduled
4 for as speedy passage as the house can
give it. The Sundry Appropriation
Bill will follow that unless war breaks
in on the program and forces the
house TO devote its entire time to the
passage of measures providing the ne.
cessary sinews of conflict.
There was hot debate upon the ad
ministration 3 espionage measure, which
the President wants passed. This bill
includes also, provisions for handling
violations of neutrality. The debate
was finished, and IL is believed that the
measure, which Senator Cummins de-
clared is the "most drastic that evel
was proposed to curb free people il
the names of peace and war, will
probably pass today. The measure givei
to the government the power 10 arbi
