NEED OF BONDS
TOLD COMMITTEE

To present to the municipal affairs
committee Of the Chamber of Com
merce reasons why the proposed mu-
nicipal bond issue of $4S0.000 for a
filtration plant and a water and sew
er pipe system, for which plebiscite
is called February 20, should be pass
ed and to obtain it's support several
members of the board Of supervisors
with Harry Murray, superintendent of
the water department, met this morn
ing.
b. Following the discussion, which
was led by Supervisor F. NJ. Hatch,
the members of the committee, indi-
vidually, expressed themselves in ia
vor of the bond issue. although no for
NAL action was taken. John Guild
was especially emphatic that the city
needed at once complete sewer sys-
TEN. ~
In his talk Hatch pointed out that
the present sewer system had been
put in by plans drawn up by Rudolph
Herring, the best sanitary engineer in
America today. and as a result the
proposed system only needs to be
connected up.
While the Nuuanu, 1wiIei, Kalihi,
Punahou and kewalo districts are
more or less In similar shape, ac-
cording to Hatch, he dwelt principally
with the serious condition which ex-
istes in the Waikiki district. In the
Beach Walk section alone. he said,
there are * cess pools which are a
constant menace to the health of the
entire city and because of the sandy
nature of the ground the content is
unable to drain off
Speaking of the financial side Hatch
said 1t was absolutely impossible to
install a sewer system by piece meal.
Even If taxes were increased to care
for the project" Hatch said, only a
certain amount could be put aside
each year and the work would have
to wait until the amount necessary
was collected"
Murray said that the money to pay
the interest and sinking fund. of the
bonds would come out of the water
and sewer department and the general
fund would not be affected

PARIS, France, Jan. .12.-The press
of the Allied nations greets with ae-
claim and unanimous approval the en-

answer to President Wilson. g
This mornings papers In the
French capital are unanimous In their
Endorsement OF the reply. They diff

value Of the reply IS the clear anll

RESTITUTION AND FULL
PREPARATION DEMANDED By
ALLIES TN THEIR REPLY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 12.-Res-
titution and reparation with essential
guarantees against the recurrence OF
such a war "a mas devastated huge
sections Of Europe are the keynotes
Of the answer Of the Allies to Presi-
dent Wilson, made public last night.
The note declares that the Allies
are anxious for a real peace, and
desire to terminate the war as soon
as possible but II further declares that
In the opinion Of the leaders' among
the Entente nations such a thing II
impossible at present, for the Central
Powers ARE not prepared to give the
guarantees we demand, nor to extend
the reparation and restitution which
are essential In any consideration Of
peace terms"
The Entente makes plain that IL re.
CARDS the action of the president In
sending his message to the capitals
of the warning powers as a friendly
act" Their message praises the senti-
ment back Of the presidents act.
Approve Wilson's Peace Plan
We are willing to associate our.
selves with the government of the
United States" continues the note,
in the plan proposed by fits president
for the creation Of league OF nations
to insure peace after this war. We
are anxious for peace, but peace with
justice only throughout the entire
world"
One Of the most striking sections Of
the note is the statement that the
governments Of the Entente Powers
regard with satisfaction the fact that
the presidents message was not in
any way associated with the note
which the Central Powers sent to us
through the Washington government
December 49,
In speaking of this point the Allied
note says:
I'VE must protest, in the most posi-.
tive and most friendly fashion, against
the assimilation of the two groups OF
belligerents in this conflict in the
American note. This assimilation,
which is doubtless based upon pub
lisned declarations made by the au-
thorities in the Central Powers, Is In
fiat opposition to the evidence In the
case"
The Entente Powers, adds the com
are perfectly sure that

PROHIBITION SIDETRACKED.
RICIIEY BONE.DRY BILL LAID ON
THE SHELF FOR THIS
YEAR.
Opponents of Real Prohibition Spring
Surprise i'm House and by Clever
Parliamentary Vancouver Put the
Richey Bill Out of Business for This
SESSION.

Columbia, Feb. 6.-The house Of
representatives reversed itself today
on the question Of prohibition when
It adopted motion made by r. B.
NIT the Richey "bone-dry'' bill to the
committee on police regulations, in
which it stayed for ten days before
being reported to the house for sec
ond reading. The vote for recommital
was 46 for to "A against.
The parlia mentary clincher was ap-
10 46. following an unsuccessful effort
on the part Of the prohibitionists to
have the house recessed.
The reversal today was a complete
surprise to the prohibitionists, who
we're unprepared for the parliament
tary maneuvcrs of their opponents.
Many of those who voted for the
Richey bill last Friday were absent
today.
The action Of the house means that
the drastic prohibition contemplated
by the Richey bill will not obtain this
year. 1t means the passage of q bill
which is not "bone-drya in its nature.
Il seems to be the idea of those who
are familiar with the sentiments of
the members Of both branches of the
general assembly that a bill greatly
| modifying the amount Of liquor to
be shipped into the State, with an all
formative of wine or beer, will be the
measure for successful passage.
