WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Unless
there shall be further and untoward
developments which shall require eS.
tended reply that may arise from the
negotiations that have been in prog
ress and are to be resumed jan 4 be-
tween the Bolshevikis and the Central
Powers, 1t is not the intention of the
United States to elaborate upon or 20
further expound the statements Of ffle
United States war aims and purposes
as they were laid down by President
Wilson in his reply to the peace pro-
posals Of the pope and as he has fur
ther set them forth since on various
occasions in different messages to
the congress of the United States.
This is learned from sources that are
close to government officials who
should know and IL fs the prevailing
belief In diplomatic circles.
The opinion also prevails that the
other Allies will follow a similar
course and indications of this were not
wanting yesterday.

WOMAN RESIGNS,
WON'T ATTEST HER
LOYALTY TO JUDGE
Protests. Entire Loyalty But
Declines to Accede to Judge
Ashford's Requirement That
She Make Statement to Him
Personally, Following Estate
Hearing

Following the refusal of Circuit
Judge c. w. Ashford to appoint the
Hawaiian Trust Co. as administrator
of the estate of the late VIC. Parke
on the ground that one of its. EN-
ployes possessed pro-German tenden
cies, Miss Grace Carroll, of 2420 Liliha
street, this morning resigned her posi-
ton as stenographer for the institu
tion. - ....
After Judge Ashford had been mott
fled by attorneys of the woman;s resig
nation, he Immediately signed an or
der appointing the company admins
traitor of the estate under bond in the
sum of 100000.
Miss Carroll is a sister-in-law OF
Carl du Roi. manager of B. F. Ehlers
& Co. She was born in America and
Is said to be of Irish descent.
Hawaiian Trust Company officials
went fully into the case this morning
At noon E. D. Tenney, president OF
the company, issued statement de-
failing briefly the facts in the case
and the acceptance of Miss Carrolfs )
rendered resignation.
In the statement given out on be,
half of the trust company, the name
of the stenograpler is not given. The
company makes an emphatic enuncia-
tion of policy of thorough loyalty.
The statement follows: -.
Judge Ashford yesterday stated
in court that the Hawaiian Trust
Company, Limited, was employing
a person who was German SYM
pathizer in the war and disloyal
to the United States of America.
The Trust Company has had no
alien enemies in its emuloy, and,
in fact, no person of German
blood. On investigation it was
found that the charge of disloyal-
ty was confined to a single en-
pleye, a stenographer. of Ameri-
can birth and citizenship who on
the entry of the United States in
to the war had !. announced her
loyalty to her country. =.

cation here and others interested In
the work, was held Friday nom in the
University Club and 1t was decided to
proceed with the proposition imme-
diately, and put the Red Cross Inaga,

the schools of the territory.
Hawaii is the first place under tie

Mr.. Doubleday yesterday, but the

The honor of being the first Ameri'
can publication to. print President
Wilson's message on Lessons OF
War belongs to the Star-Bulletin ard
Mr.. Doubleday explained that the rea-
son for Hawaii sharing these double
honors was one and the same.
Shortly after the plan was conceived
of the idea of educating Young Ameri-
ca as to what the war means, through
the medium of the Red Cross Maga-
zine, Mr.. Doubleday called upon Pres
ident Wilson for statement as to
what he thought of 1t. President Will
son gave him the statement publish
ed above but before Mr.. Doubleday
could take steps to publish 1t he was
asked by the American Red Cross So
ciety to depart on a. Red Cross mis-
sion to the Orient and while Prest
cKn y1yfH
in the February number Of the Red
Cross Magazine, the Star-Bulletin> re-
ceives the honor of publishing it first.
AS he had to leave the East imme-
9diately to catch steamer for the
Orient Mr.. Doubleday was unable to
open his campaign among the schools
on the mainland. He stated yesterday
that ii would be taken up shortly in
the United States but that Hawaii
would have the honor of being the
first to begin the work.

MINES or SERBIA.

II Serbia remains under Austro-
Hungarian control after the establish
ment Of peace, the Balkan state prob
ably will take a prominent position
among the worlds metal producing
countries as the present conquerors
of Serbia are laying plans to develop
the mineral resources. In antiquity
the country was the largest gold pro-
Queer in Europe. It's copper mines
had, prior to the conquest of the Bal
kans by the Turks. developed to a
considerable extent, those exploited by
a French company at Bor netting an
nually as much as 60 per cent of the
capital invested.
Gold has been won in Serbia in re-
cent years principally through placer
mining. The production was small,
however, as work was confined as a
rule to localities which had been al
ready worked over by the ancients.
Silver is found only in conjunction
with other metals. The copper ores
of Dor contain from sc to 100 grammes
per ton. The lead ores of Postenje,
near Krupanj, and those of Avala on
the Crneni mountain also furnish con-
siderable silver. At Avala quicksilver
is found. Tin is found at several
points, but so far no efforts have been
made to develop the deposits. Arsenic
exists at Jasikoya.

You folks who have been holding of

diamond figures In the hope that q
slump in the market was overdue
might just as we'll go ahead and buy II
now and have the engagement an
nounced, for there isn't going to be
any slump in prices. At least, not in
the opinion of A. F. Brigham, general
manager of the Jagersfontein Mining
& Exploration company, one of the
greatest diamond producers in South
Africa, who arrived here lately, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
"The diamond market is now at n
normal level" said Brigham. prices
seem high. but the demand is great.
in fact, so great 1t can not be supplied.
The cost of production Is constantly
increasing owing to the increasing
depth at which the big mines are
working, and--a very important factor
there will probably never be any
new fields of importance discovered.
The world has been pretty thoroughly
prospected, and l think the returns
are about all in.
In South Africa we are working
under difficulties but The output is
large. The mines were closed from the
opening of the war until the first of
last January, and now we are up
against it for dynamite and other ex-
,losives, the use of which in all Brit
sh possessions is controlled by the
minister of munitions"
Mr.. Brigham is native of New
fork and has been in the South Afri-
an diamond field 16 years.

Made Treasurer Pay.

mo one at all acquainted with A. j,
Davis will suppose for a minute that
he wore out those valuable evidences
of Indebtedness in his pantaloon's
pocket, or that he allowed the treas
urer of Gallatin county to recline on
'flowery beds of ease while the said
warrants remained unpaid. He just
quietly looked up the law then over
hauled the treasurer's accounts and
transactions; then he deliberately
stirred up a little hornets nest about
the ears of that official. He took the
matter into the district court and there
demonstrated that the treasurer, T. B.
Gray, had not only been paying war
rants bearing date and register sub
sequent to those held by Davis, but
had also, contrary to law, issued and
paid balance certificates, and that he
was apparently short in his accounts
to the extent of several thousand dol
lars

To Butte, however, the finding of
such a body of ore of high grade at

hardly been any ore below the 5000

But from the 5000 to the $500 foot

THEORY AND PRACTICE.
President of Western Union Points
Out Weakness of College Men

o"' weakness OF College Men.
In the January American Magazine
Theodore Vail says:
me young man entering life must
not be impatient He must accumulate
experience, he must learn the duties of
his position by the actual doing be-
fore he has any value to his employer.
The reason so many college boys
fail is that they are full of theories.
they think they know it all. A college,
course is a good thing, an excellent
thing, but ii must be given to the right
Kind Of youth. Quite a number of the
highest positions are filled by men
who went through college but who had
no false notions as to what was re-
CURED of them when they entered
business. No man is worth ANYTHING
until he has gone into the heat of the
battle and had his theories subordinat-
ed to practice.
The son of rich parents is handi-
capped in his youth. He gets no ex-
perience of doing things, and no op-
portunity to benefit from hard knocks
such as come the other fellows way
when a boy comes to ask me to
put him through college | tell him Il
would be the worst thing that could
happen to him. l say: You would not
only have a burden of debt ON your
shoulders when you finished college
out you would have the additional
burden of getting experience--and it
$ pretty hard to get experience and
arm money at the same time. You
an earn money only after you have I
lad experience :
