Shells that spurted molten metal In
surging streams Of golden rain crashed
in appalling numbers about the heads
of the defending soldiers. High explo-

with such rapidity that the very earth
writhed under the force of the attack.
Mines that had taken two years to
dig and fill with an overwhelming ex-
plosive broke into an avalanche of
flaming destruction In the half light Of
dawn. This was indeed Ypres day
of retaliation and victory for the
vicious sufferings of two years and

Both strategically and geographical

employed reported that their objec-
tivcs had been reached and maintained.

TEXAN HAS mail;
MINNEsOTAN IS PAU

The American Hawaiian steamer
Texan now en- route from San Fran.
cisco and due to arrive here on Friday
next, has two days. accumulation Of
mail on board, according to the local
agency of the line yesterday. She has
no cargo, as the American Hawaiian
boats on the sugar schedule do not
have time to load at San Francisco. :
Nothing has been heard yet from
the steamer Mexican of the same line
which is en- route from Balboa and
New York. Basing her time on her
date of departure from the Canal, the
local agency expects to see her of port
on Saturday next. She has cargo of
coal for the Pearl Harbor naval sta
ton and will go direct there after pass
ing quarantine.
As the Mexican relieves the Mime.
sotan on the sugar schedule the latter
vessel has made her last voyage to
Hawaii this season. She has just com
pleted discharging her second cargo Of
Hawaiian sugar and will load at San
Francisco for the East Coast, there to

.W|LHELM|NA LATE;
LURLINE HAS LEFT

The Matson liner Wilhelmina will
arrive eight hours late today according
to wireless messages from Captain Ed
wards, received by Castle q Cooke, the
agents, yesterday. The cause for the
delay is not given in the message, but
il Is ascribed here to bad weather. The
vessel will arrive at two O'Clock, ac-
cording to the last report. EE
The liner Lurline, ordered to leave
one day ahead of schedule to tow the
steamer Enterprise from Hilo to San
Francisco, left last night at six o'clock.
Only nine cabin passengers went out
with her, the balance who were booked
cancelling their reservations and TAX
ing passage either on the Sonoma to-
day or the Great Northern Friday.
The Lurline has a capacity cargo,
however, including 1888 tons of sugar,

CONTROL
OF ALL WIRELESS
Bill Giving Government Ownership
|. To All Stations and Systems
Reported BY Balch

Government ownership Of all wireless
systems is planned in bill that will
be fostered in the next session Of con
gress by the navy department accord.
ing to J. A. Balch, treasurer and man.
ager of the wireless department Of the
Mutual Telephone Company, who re.
turned from Washington yesterday.
The proposed legislation will GER
tainly include federal government mo-
nopoly of the shore to ship and ship
10 shore radio communication accord.
ing to Mr.. Balch and in all probability
will include communication from point
to point. In the latter case 1t wonld
mean the purchase by the government
Of the entire interisland radio system
Of the Mutual Telephone Company and
the Hawaii-to-mainiand systems Of the
Federal and the Marconi companies.
This radical step in the nation 3
system of wireless Communication,
which would give the government
monopoly, Is planned as measure of
preparedness and to certain extent
as the only feasible method Of control
of radio services.
; Mr., Balch was in Washington to pro-
test against the law proposed at the
last congress giving the government
control of radio systems. Local firms
and commercial bodies joined in pro-
test against the proposed law which
would have legislated the Mutual sys-
TEN out of existence. The bill was
withdrawn without ever being reported
out of committee and Mr.. Balch was
credited with much Of the success. He
gave the committee history of the
long battle against financial and me-
chanical difficulties to establish a
wireless system in the Islands and exe
planned the necessity of the present
system TO the business Of the Islands.
In explaining the new plan Of com
plete government ownership that the
navy department win propose, Mr.,
Balch said:
"If il Is necessary that the navy de-
partment secure control of the nation Is
wireless systems, as far as we are con-
cerned the government ownership plan
is preferable to the bill that was of.
fered the last congress which would
have practically regulated us out of
existence.

is patriotic enough to be always ready
to turn its system over TO the navy.
When in Washington, offered our
radio system to Secretary Daniels when
the announcement Of the diplomatic
break with Germany was made. We
stand always ready to do this and
do not see the need of complete gov
eminent ownership.
1.-THE present plan Of the navy de.
,partment contemplates a commission
that will establish the valuation Of
systems to be purchased by the gov
eminent and failing agreement the
property win be secured under con
demnation proceedings. @a
"The bill win include plans for the
purchase by the government of al
shore to ship services and possibly al
point to point services which would
mean a government monopoly Of radio

THE ADYERTISER'S SlM.wEEKLY
The Fish Protectior, BIS

|NNE of the most effective means Of keeping
~ the cost of living within the reach of small
incomes, is to do everything possible to keep down
the price OF fish.
The cost of fish has been steadily rising. Why?
Because there has been reckless destruction, not
only OF the young fishes, but Of the mothers at
spawning time. aA..
A method, which has been proven sound, of pro-
tecting and multiplying fishes, is to prohibit catch
ling the young ones at any time, and the adults
iduring spawning season. This policy has resulted
on the mainland in greatly increasing the number
OF fishes and in decreasing the price, so that even
the poorest people can buy fish.
1t has frequently been found difficult to get the
Hawaiians to understand that fish protection laws
are for their benefit, They are prone to consider
any restriction interference With their liberty,
lin consequence of which they have in the past OBJ
iected to protective legislation and resisted its en-
forcement.
1t is interesting, therefore to note that in spite
of the unnteigent opposition of certain ignorant
members, the house has adopted all three of the
fish protection measures introduced by Represen-
tative Wilder. 1t is to be hoped that the senate
will do likewise.
One further measure is necessary, however, to
round out the legislation essential to bring down
the price of fish to what it used to be, and which
lit should and can be again. This measure is to
provide for fish hatchery and propagating station,
or stations.
These stations have been established all over the
Union, with wonderful results.
On the Coast of California where salmon had be-
come almost extinct the fish hatcheries have in
the course of very few years made it plentiful
once more. .@&r
Moreover the striped bass, one Of the best fishes
IF the Atlantic Coast, has been introduced by the
Fish Commission to the Pacific Coast, where it has
become one of the commonest fish in the market.
The federal fish commission cooperates with the
State commissions in this work but it is rule
that the local government must contribute part
Of the cost .. ~. & r., ..
The Advertiser suggests that move should be
made toward establishing a hatchery on every
island in this Territory. A beginning can be made
on Oahu-the system to be extended later to the
other islands when it gets into working order here.
1t will be very easy to ascertain Just what the
Federal Commission requires in order TO secure its
cooperation and then proceed to meet that require
ment This would Immediately bring to us an ex-
pert to direct the work. so that before the end OF
this year the hatchery could be in full operation.
This proposition has been talked about before
Talk cuts no ice"-neither does it produce any
new fish or reduce the price of those we already
have.
Is it not about time to act as well as talk? S..
What do you say, gentlemen of the legislature
Shall we fish, or shall we not fsh2
If we are to fish, 'twere we'll we fish quickly
