Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-10-15

As far as Hawaii is concerned, at
least, thinks Mr.. Huber, the law Is
principally for the prevention of prop
erty owned by alien enemies. which Is
accommodating here, or which is stu
ated here. or the proceeds or remuner-
alton therefrom, from reaching the
countries with which the United
States is at war, and to see that any
money derived from such soperties
does not get without the United
States.
AS an example, Mr.. Huber takes
sugar and other stocks in Hawaiian
corporations which is held by per-
sons now living in Germany. Under
the new law, he says, some one with
in the territory will be appointed to
take over this stock during the period
of the war, probably vote for it, and
collect the dividends, and remain in
possession of the funds until peace
has been, declared, after which, Of
course, the money would be turned
over to the rightful owners. The
same course undoubtedly will be fol-
lowed as regards other property in
Hawaii owned by alien enemies resid-
ing outside the United States. Mr..
Huber does not believe that proper
ties owned by Germans now residing
in the territory will be seized
He points out further that all pat
ents held by alien enemies will be
taken over in the same manner for
the period of the war, and all bust
ness pertaining to the manufacture
and sale Of articles under patents will
be taken care of by some person or
persons appointed by the government.
In this connection Mr.. Huber calls
attention to certain Germans who pat
ented the only known cure for a GER
tain disease. It costs 81 to manu-
facture given quantity of the medi-
cine, yet the producers sell the same
quantity for as much as $4,000. The
medical profession has had to have
this cure and has been forced to pay
the unusually high price In order to
obtain it. This patent, Mr.. Huber
believes, is one of several things
which will be taken over and the
price Immediately reduced.
The enforcement of the trading with
the enemy act, adds the district at
torney, will not prevent residents of
the territory from trading with H.
Hackfeld & Co., nor will it prevent
trading with any stores or branches
owned by the company t.
Mr.. Huber has not been informed
who in the territory will be appoint
ed to take charge of property owned
by alien enemies not now residing
here.

Prime Minister Holman, Back
From England, Says Sub
marine Menace Is in Hand:
Expects u. S. Army Will
Demonstrate Its Worth

s. \ MERICA has learned preparedness
~ and learned it intelligently from
the Allies war experience, thinks
William Arthur Holman, present prime
minister of New South Wales. Aus
tralia, who is in Honolulu today en-
route home.
Minister Holman has had a noted
career in which he has advanced from
the position of a mechanic, labor
leader and editor to the highest posi-.
ton in New South Wales.
Il was greatly impressed by the eff
ficient manner in which America is
preparing for the conflict, during my
several weeks stay in various parts Of
the United States" said Mr.. Holman.
She is going about her great task
with efficiency and with great intel.
ligence. America is rightly taking ad-
vantage of the experience gained by
her Allies. look for much from
Americas great, we'll trained and
brave army when 1t takes the field
actively against the worlds common

cratic bearing. Jokingly, he parted
a query as to the accuracy of an in
terview this morning with another
question: rs an interview ever, cor
rect-if printed in a New York
paper?"
Becoming serious again, he said:
There was great iubilation in Aus.
tralia over Americas entrance into the
war which is almost impossible to ex.
press. We have always regarded Eng.
land as our mother country, of course;
but we have regarded America as an
elder brother. Now there is a GER
tain feeling of sentiment about help

great satisfaction about seeing ones
husky big brother come up and get
into the row."

War Tax Will
Boost Cost To
r. R. Travellers
Eight Cents on the Dollar Will
Be Charged to Persons Co.
ing Beyond Pearl City

PASSENGERS on the o. r. and
y l.. trains who pay more than
! 35 cents for their tickets will
. be taxed s per cent after the first
of November, according to an an
nouncement made this morning by
Fred Smith, passenger agent. A
war tax of 5 per cent will also be
placed on all freight handled by
the railroad. - .:--,.
AS the tax is to be paid by the
purchaser and not the railroad
company, there will be no advance
in prices of o. r. and L. tickets,
according to Mr.. Smith. The pur-
chaser, however, when he buys his
ticket, must pay the s per cent to
the agent. This will probably
cause great deal of confusion,
says Mr.. Smith, and will undoubt-
eddy bring into circulation a great
number of pennies, For instance,
if traveller buys ticket costing
40 cents, he will be taxed an addi-
tional 2 Is cents. Just how the
company Will regulate the frac-
tons of cent has not been decid-
ed, but the ticket office is working
out a schedule OF taxes to elimi.
nate as much confusion as pos
sible. 7T--.-.
At present, the non-taxable linn
it is to Pearl City. All tickets be-
yond Pearl City must pay the addi-
tional per cent tax.
Steamship tickets, both trans
Pacific and inter-island, will also
cost more, the purchaser paying
the additional per cent tax.
The Inter-Island officials have
already intimated that they in
tended to add the revenue tax cost
to the price of the tickets, and
John Drew, the Matson represen-
tative in Honolulu, says: '1f the
tax is applicable to coastwise bus
mess there will be nothing to do
but add the tax to the cost of the
tickets to and from the coast"
The tax would bring the aver
age price of a ticket to the coast
up from SIS to S81, and tickets for
the better cabins in proportion.
No word has yet been received
from the San Francisco Matson
office in the Honolulu office re-
garding the tax which goes into ef-
feet on November 1.
If Matson company increases
its rate TO The coast, it is almost
certain that the Pacific Mail and
Oceanic lines will do the same.

LONDON VISITOR
TELLS OF RECENT
HUN AIR RAIDS

GERMAN raids on London have
4, ceased to be a big show" for the
~ population of that city and now are
being taken as grim and serious
reality, according to W.. Bayles, one
of Londons war force of $4,000 spe-
cial constables, who is q visitor in
Honolulu today as a passenger on an
Oceanic liner. IT,. -. ~.
Bayles has been through all the
air raids the Germans have made up
until the early part of last month.
He said: The early raids proved
great attraction to the people, and
the streets as well as the tops of all
the big buildings we're thronged with
men and women. anxious to watch the
performance. But it was found that
more people were wounded by our
own shrapnel as it fell to the ground
than we're hit by the German bombs.
nal is given throughout the city by
firing small guns, and everyone takes
to cover. All the hotels and most
of the other public buildings have
made their Easements into refugees,
which are always open to the people.
THE damage done to property in
London has not been very consider
able. The Germans have not hit any
of the important buildings save the
postoffice, and here the fire was
quickly extinguished. The danger is,
nevertheless, very apparent, and every
possible step is being taken to protect
the city against the sky raiders. The
demand for reprisals is growing, and
sooner or later there will be reprisals
on a very large scale against the Ger
mans.
Germany is using her very latest
airplanes for this work. They carry
three men-one to drive and two OBJ.
crate guns and drop bombs. They are
