WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL
Investigation by a senate military af-
fairs subcommittee of alleged pro-
German statements of Col. Carl Reich
mann, nominated to be a brigadier-
general, today approached a conclu-
sion. The two principal witnesses,
both women-Mrs. James Anderson
of Victoria, B. c., wife of Canadian
officer, and Mrs. E. B. Faison, wife
of Brig-Gen. Faison-were under
cross examination all day.
Differences Of opinion regarding the
tenor of Col. Reichmann's statements
teld by the two women we're threshed
out. Mrs. Anderson was said to have
reiterated her conviction that the
statements we're pronounced in ia
vor of Germany, while Mrs. Taison. in
examination, defended Col.
Reichmann. Some of the statements
{ ttributed to him by Mrs. Anderson
were said to be fatty denied by Mrs.
Faison 49,:
Mrs. Anderson, it was stated, said
Col Reichmann had been quoted as
iustifying the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, by declaring Americans should
have kept off the vessel, having been
warned.

BUSINESS MEN Think HILO should
HAVE initial TERRITORIAL FAIR

just as Honolulu has a Carnival
Week
Attorney Carl S. Carlsmith advised
Hilo to secure experts to conduct the
fair if it came to Hilo, an1 to get as
many exhibits as possible. DR.. Elliott,
who followed, emphasized Carlsmith S
remarks, and went further to suggest
the fair be held in June so as to get
the school exhibits.
C. R. willard, who had charge Of
the poultry section Of the second
county fair, was IN favor Of getting
skilful help if the territorial fair
were held, but he concluded with the
remark that he favored county fairs.
Mr.. Forbes pointed out that ter
ritorial fair was a bigger proposition
than a county fair and warned the
meeting that experts should handle
financial matters connected with it.
Commissioner Henderson jumped to
his feet at this point and declared Hilo
was entitled to the territorial fair.
Judge Quinn approved of the remark
and expressed his confidence that
Commissioner Henderson would make
the fair success.
The territorial fair idea was favored
by the next speaker, Geo. H. Wears,
who also spoke on promotion. He
thought that what was needed was
publicity and that the word promotion
was a misnomer. Host Henderson took
the floor and asked for the backing
of the community in the territorial
fair idea and then called on E. F. Mich
OILS, who boosted the idea and remarked
in passing that he had not at first ia
Yored it, but had had a change Of
heart. He also touched on promotion
work and said it should be kept up
and suggested more publicity. R. w.
Filler spoke on the difficulties of
transportation Of exhibits by water,
but P. T. Phillips assured the meet
ing that if exhibits were properly
packed his company would see they
arrived in perfect condition.
County Attorney W. H. Beers sug-
gested the establishment of an office
in Hilo to supply information to
tourists, and Host Henderson replied
that the matter would be attended to.
H. d. Corbett, Chairman Kauhane of
the board of supervisors and DR.. S. r.
Brown all spoke in favor of the terri
torial fair being held in Hilo.

MEXICAN BOYS WERE BRAVE
Cadets of ChapuItePec Put UP Gallant
Fight at Defense of Their
City In 1847.

The defense of Chapultepec, during
the war between the United States and
Mexico, in 1S47, was almost as gallant
as was the attack. In this attack 4S
Mexican cadets, among others, lost
their lives. The story is stirring one,
observes the Los Angeles Times.
For many years the celebrated Cas-
tie of Chapultepec, where Montezuma
held his barbaric court in the sur
rounding groves of cypress; where
during nearly three centuries lived the
successive viceroys of Spain, and
where Macmillan made his imperial
home, has been the West Point of
Mexico.
When General Scott had taken the
place by storm and General Bravo
had surrendered, Mexican cadet only
fifteen years old, seeing the flag Of his
country in peril, most of his comrades
being already slain, climbed the flag
staff, tore the banner from its place,
wound 1t around his body and slid
down, intending to plunge over the pre-
cipice, in order to save the colors from
falling into the hands of the enemy.
That act of heroism being frustrated,
the brave boy, with the banner still
wrapped about him, fought until he
was cut in pieces. Forty-eight of these
schoolboys, ranging in age from four
teen to twenty years, lie buried in one
grave at the foot of the hill. Year
after year the cadets of Chapultepec
strew flowers upon the grave.

ELBA'S VALUABLE IRON MINES
Some of Purest Metal in the World Is
Found Here, Although in Small
Quantities.

at must be admitted that the Eng
fish have not been very generous" re-
marked Napoleon as he surveyed his
| kingdom of Elba from the top of its
highest peak. Yet man more modest
than the great Corsican might have
been well content with this fair and
rich little island, to say nothing of the
title of king.
Elba today has come into a new i'm
portance owing to the war stimulated
values of its iron mines. Some of the
purest iron ore in the world is found
here In beautiful crystals, although
the quantity is not great enough to be
of any wide significance.
The little isle includes all manner of
little industries in its 10 by II mile
confines. On the lower slopes there
are fertile little valleys, and along the
beach tiny fishing industry manages
to thrive. Besides the iron mines
there are famous stone quarries, and
the scenery is rugged and imposing on
a miniature scale. Had Napoleon been
a philosopher he might well have
found contentment here.
But Napoleon was a general and
builder instead of settling down to en-
Joy what the gods had left him, he in
stltuted all manner of projects for de-
in his tiny kingdom, and
even conducted from here his least
known campaign. Across the blue wa
ters to the south of Elba is visible
the smaller island of Pianosa, low and
fertile. Pianosa was deserted in those
times on account of the depradations
Of Mediterranean pirates. Napoleon
directed an expedition of 40 men
against the corsairs with the object of
adding Pianosa to his kingdom. He
would have led the pirates
hard life had not the opportunity for
escape presented itself that led to
france and Waterloo.

GERMANS RETREAT TO VICTORY

ton given to GeTmany's retirement

try between old line and new a will

over the wilderness left by the Ger

Allies will face German forces pre-
pared for every contingency and pro-
tected as an army was never protect

Germany is Tetreating to victory
because her. armies are taking their
places in new positions, long pTepar-
ed. These positions embOdy newest

enemy to learn their trade all over
again. They may affect transforma-
ton of entire character of the war.
. London.-In several places today
fighting is within two or three miles
of the "Hindenburg line" as experts
here have picked it out. French are
nearest German permanent defenses.
British have made haste more slow
ly, prefeTTing to rebuild destroyed
country over which they advance.
Germany's new line, officials here
say, lies in position where engineers
and strategical experts have chosen
every feature of topography as an
aid.
Az this change comes at point
where GeTmany's enemies had plan
ned a news spring offensive. The
kaiser's forces have run away to spe-
ciaIly-prepared offensive lines, which
the allies will now be under disad-

''The liquor interests of Whining
ton are making every kind of obstruc-
tive effort to defeat the purposes of
the anti-license election which is to
be held next November in Whining
ton, says the Milford Chronicle.
"Their effort to prevent formation of
the registration boards. and all pre-
liminary work necessary to hold the
election in Wilmington, as we'll as in
rural New Castle, clearly indicates
deep rooted fear for the result Of the
elections. From the newspapers and
from those advocating the 'wet"
side of the liquor question, proclsma-
tion has been made from time to time,
that there is an overwhelming ma
jo-ity in the city Of Wilmington
against local option. The action of
the liquor people now clearly shows
that they not only fear the result but
believe that they must resort to every
method of obstruction possible to sav
their cause from defeat. The business
people of Wilmington now see that
the rum business is sapping their bus
mess vitality, and at the same time
injuring the results of manufacturing,
as we'll as the physical condition Of
the men and women. The moral side
of the question is getting home to the
business people. and it is that side 0.
the question, which is hardest for thu
liquor people to combat. Force liquo
out and help all the people of Della
ware to better homes. better peac

SULPHUR and rheumatism.

One of England's most distinguished
physicians has just reported valuable
piece of information that he learned
from a gossipy old lady who was adj
dicted to the habit of giving medical
advice to her acquaintances, says the
Los Angeles Times. She gave some of
this advice to one of the learned physi-
clans patients who was suffering from
rheumatism in the hands, suggesting
that the patient put sulphur in her
stockings" The patient took the ad-
vice and the rheumatism in the hands
disappeared; also a silver ornament
worn on the patients wrist turned
black.
