disrepute into which the German Sc

TO its equally tremendous potency for
good when conducted in an open and

Propaganda Used
In Many Lines

The Red Cross propaganda has n
enues largely by an organized public
appeal. A battery of expert makers
and marketers of publicity Is located
in the pGlatial Washington home Of the
organization. These aim TO keep the
public informed and interested. What
the Red Cross is doing in Europe, what
IL needs from the American public,
how the individual can help with his
time and his contributions, these mat
ters are set before the public in expert
form. No industrial enterprise was
ever better organized, better promoted.
better advertised, better nursed, in
public opinion, than is the American
Red Cross. For the most efficient eX-
perts have either volunteered or hired
their services TO this end
The recreation and social interests
Of the army Of 100000 American SOL
diers are looked after BY the War De-
partment Commission on Training
Camp Activities, enlisting the Y. NJ. G..
A., the Knights of Columbus and the
American Playground Association in
the work Of adjusting the soldier to
the civilian community adjacent TO the
cantOnments, under the management
Of men like John Willis, Raymond =.
Fosdick and Ira W. Jayne. These have
made effective use of publicity, both
in the raising Of funds and in the mob
ilization of favorable public opin-
ion toward the soldier, which, in the
cantonment vicinities, is paternal in al
unusual degree.
The call for volunteers and the rous-
ing publicity campaign by which the
volunteer army was raised, besides be-
ing an old story now, was in great part
a volunteer publicity campaign on the
part of the organizers and of the press.

The Religionists
Fought Back

One of the propagandists, the pro-
nrietor of a restaurant on Canal Street,
in his fervor to defy God, did some
thing that had never been done before.
Uo opened his restaurant, and had
everything going as on any ordinary
day.
This ultimately aroused the ire OF
the religious, ard so the riot began
with such rage and fury that a good
deal of blood was spilled.
The religious Jews. who were in
vast majority, got the upper hand, and
beat the Knockers and defers into sub
mission.
IL was then said that the anarchists
and socialists were taught such a les
son that they would never dare repeat
the offence.
That same evening met prominent
American Jew, who expressed his sat
isfaction in the following words:
"This is final. 0.d JudRhism stood
it's test among our immigrant Jews.
Nv brethren have proven that such
sacrilegious demonstrations on the part
of irresponsible and goddess individuals
are not to be endured. buddhism, de-
oency and morality are saved, thank
God"
lie was mistaken.
New York's last municipal election
proved that the prominent Jew who
smoke so hopefully of the future did
not understand the situation from its
right point of view.
What tIanspired in all Jewish sec
tions of greater New York during the
1917 municipal campaign is still fresh
in our memories. Men like Marshall,
Untermeyer and Schiff, speaking with
authority and believing that the immi-
grant Jew might have reason TO trust
their views, appealed to the nsturalized
Jewish citizens of New York and
warned them not to support the So
cialist candidate, Morris Hillquit. Their
exhortations and reasonings fell upon
deaf ears. The Socialist candidate for
Mayor received an unprecedented num-
Der of votes, and it would be futile to
deny the fact that the immigrant Jews
voted almost Ell masse for a man who
was outspoken against the government,
against the established order which
gave them freedom and equality and
against their religion, which Hillquit
professed to abhor.
New-York tribune., 1917-12-23

IT was in the year 1895, on the
Day OF Atonement, the most
sacred event in Jewish religious
life, that a riot broke out on the last
Side Of New York and ragged for almost
four hours. Jew struck Jew, windows
were smashed and heads were broken.
A special squad Of police was dls-
patched to bring about order. After
much effort and free sway Of the night
sticks the police finally succeeded In
forming a truce between the two com
batant factions.
What was II sbout7
Religion on the one hand and demon
stratlve radicalism on the other hand
came TO clash.
Both sides were prepared for the
fray. The Jewish anarchists and Jew
ish Socialists decided to prove to the
religious ones that the Day Of Atone
ment was 70 be feared no more than
any other day Of the year. For this
purpose they printed a mock edition
of the "Tephilah Saccah" prayer OF
the Pure), which the religious Jew
regards as an aweinsiring appeal to
the Divinity. The mock edition Of the
"Tephilah Saccah' began with the fol-
lowing pronounciamento;
Jehovah never existed and has
never been in existencel'
Then all religions, and the Jewish
religion in particular, were declared
20 be big humbug and the Day of
Atonement a relic of idolatry and
barbarism.
The "Tephilah saccah" was we'll cir
culated, and also announced that the
"euarians of radicalism" would cele-
brate the Day Of Atonement with
grand ball, q feast, music, dancing and
lectures "for the uprooting Of religion
the foe of the human race Every
one was invited to come and see no"
the participants were able to tease the
Deity and not die or suffer in conse-
quence.
The Jewish religious sdherents were
wroth. they cursed the inhdels and
threatened them with all kinds OF DIRE
punishment, both from heaven and
man. The propagandists, however, were
not to be intimidated. They were true
to their word. They gathered in
hall on Clinton Street and worked out
their programme.
The religious Jews foeked to the
svnagogues and seemed engrossed IN
their PRAYERS.

MOST SUGAR MILLS
END THEIR GRI!ND.S
Shipments TO Mainland Of Bal
apoe Of Crop May Run As High
As Twenty Thousand IONS

Grinding Of the 1917 crop draws near
to completion. Rains on Hawaii will
make possible the early completion of
the grind on number Of plantations
that have been delayed byathe drought
which made II impossible TO nume cane
to the mills. 1t would appear that
there Is about 10000 tons still remain
ing in the Islands, some still to be
ground, other awaiting transportation.
The June estimate of the 1917, as
published in the table on this page
was 637, lS2. Later estimates that came
to the Sugar Factors Company raised
these figures 10 approximately 648,000
tons but still later estimates brought
reduction from those figures to about
ga 300 tons. On this last estimate
there would still be awaiting shipment
20, 223 tons for up to the first of the
month shipments had been 624 ,557
tons, az ,286 tons more than the 1916
crop. In addition 10 these figures for
this year II must be taken into con.
alteration that there is taken about
1900 tons of sugar for the Islands,
which would make the 1917 crop about
% 800 tons larger than the last year
crop and about 10000 tons over ear
iier estimates, including insular con-
sumption. = ...
Little difficulty in getting the bal
anee of the crop to market is expect
ed though just what the arrangements
will be have not been determined. The
late crop 10 . little larger than usual
but it win not take great amount of
cargo space TO handle it when all the
grinding is completed. Considerable

win undoubtedly provide some means
of transportation for it. EGr s.t ..

Maui Agricultural
Company 10
It's Mill
Contract For Plant Identical
With One Ordered BY Eva
Placed With Cation, Neil &
Company Marking March Of
Progress


, Identification of the plantations of
the Islands is going ahead rapidly.
Following the splendid success of the
plant of the Hawaiian Commercial
Company, the installation Of a plant
for next year 5 work by the Oahu Su-
gar Company, the announcement that
Eva was to electrify and had placed
the order for its plant came the an
.nouncement yesterday that Muai Agri-
cultural Company was to eleetrify and
had placed with Cation, Neill & Co, the
same company with which the Eva
order was placed last month, an order
for plant identical with the Eva
plant. .GhEE ft. ~ r..
While the two latest plants to be or
dered are of only about half the size of
that of the Hawaiian Commercial Com.
pany plant, they are of the same gen
eral type and can serve as units when
and at any time the companies may de-
termine that enlargements and further
electrifieation is necessary. 81.
The order placed yesterday with Cat
ton, Neil 4 Co., rs well as that for the
Eva Company, contracts for the fur
nishing of $50 kilowatt power plants
for their respective mills. Their plans
are TO replace numerous steam driven
pumps with motor driven centrifugal
pumps. Miscellaneous motors will drive
anxiliaries and lights viii be furnished
the main camps.
The power unit is to be $50 kilo-
watt Curtis steam turbo- generator, 440
volts, three phase, designed for non.
condensing operation during the grind
ing season when the exhaust steam will
be used in the boiling house. During
the on season the station win be run
condensing in order to obtain the high
est fuel economy. An induction motor
driven EXETER will be used. The
switchboard ID to be an eight panel
board of the latest design. Meters ON
the board win give readings Of the
amount Of power sent to every portion
of the mill.
One feature Of the plant is to be the
installation Of general electric, indi-
eating, recording and migrating steam
pillow meter. The present high cost of
fuel, together with the difficulty in OBJ
tanning it, lends strong testimony TO
the need for better steam conditions.
Every possible effort must be exerted
20 get most Of the heat energy from the
fuel This instrument measures the in
Simultaneous value Of the steam, gives a
record in the form Of a curye and also
gives the total steam consumed during
q run Of twenty hours. Use for
this meter in its various forms may be
found in measuring boiler feed water,
measuring the individual steam output
OF each boiler or battery of boilers,
measuring masceration water, or water
delivered from any centrifugal pump.
They expect TO have the equipment
installed and running by the next off
season. The plant as whole viii be
one Of the best in the Islands.

Electrical Equipment Held Up To

Be Followed BY Other Sugar
Producers ,,a,

\ Material for new power house for
the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company is now arriving. This addi-
tion to the plant was ordered from
Cation, Neill & Company and includes
electrical centrifugal pumps and equip
ment for the classification of such
pumps. .;c 49, 8. .
Already the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Company has the finest and
largest electrical plant in the Islands.
1t means increased production, decreas-
ed operating expenses, decreased main
tenance charges, greater ease Of opera
tion and increased reliability. ES3
Speaking of this plant, which is to
be still further enlarged and improved
Robert +. Hughes in his report to the
Sugar Mill Engineers at their recent
meeting said: g " 81 st f b..
perhaps the nearest approach to
such plant is the present installa-

DROUGHT ON MAUI
SEEMS I9BE ENDED
Reports Tell Of Light Rains In
LoWand and Water In
Irrigation bitches

On Maui the drought appears to
have at length been broken although
as yet no heavy rains have been an.
nbunced. Reports coming TO local
agencies tell Of some rains in the lower
lands and larger hows OF water In the
irrigation bitches so that the cane is
not now suffering.
Last mail from Wailul1n received
by the agents Of the Wailuku planta-
tion told Of rainfall Of a quarter of
an inch in the lowlands but Indicated
that there had been better rains in the
mountains as Ii said the streams and
Irrigation bitches now carried good
flows and no further damage to the
crops was being incurred. Indications
are that there have been further rains
since that writing and that the next
letters received and which are exA
pected tomorrow; win tell Of the real
breaking of the long dry spell with
good soaking rains in lowlands as well
as at higher attitudes,
n Rainfalls more nearly approaching
the normal are occurring ON Hawaii
and the plantations there are recover
ing from the drought so far as reeov-
cry is possible at this stage of damage.
Tire losses have been heavy--and the
estimates Of the 1917 crop on the big
Island plantations win be disappointing
as viii be the case on Mani also. Street
reports say that Maui Agricultural
Company will have suffered loss Of
about twenty Ave percent of its next
year 5 crop approximately 10000 tons
from what had been expected to be
the banner crop for the plantation.
