Sailing VESSELS
FOR PASSENGERS
IS Marine TALK

That voyagers to and from Homo
lulu may be compelled to travel in
sailing ships if the government con-
which heretofore have been carrying
passengers, Is the opinion of local
shipping men" writes the marine re-
porter OF the San Francisco Examiner.
Continuing the writer states:
1T was suggested that some Of the
sailing ships of the Alaska Packers
Association could be fitted to carry a
number of passengers, to whom time
might be no object, and might enjoy
return to the kind of craft used in
the early days
The Star of Alaska. one Of the
Alaska Packers fleet, left yesterday
for Honolulu, under Captain Follett,
with freight and supplies.
Other vessels of the fleet are en-
gagged in coastwise trade during the
winter the Star of Iceland having left
yesterday for Nanaimo to bring a
cargo of coal
Most of the big ships of the Matson
Steam Navigation Co. have been taken
from the Honolulu run by the govern
ment, and those still on the run are
subject to the orders of the United
States shipping board.
Among the vessels taken are the
Wilhelmina, Matsonia, Maui and Ma
noa. 1t is likely that the Enterprise
and Lurline will follow.
Ships formerly in the coastwise
passenger service have been diverted
to the Honolulu run, but if the war
continues much longer there is no
certainty that they also may not be
requisitioned."

MINIMUM FREIGHT RATE
ON SMALL LOTS CUT ST

New tariff schedules in keeping with
the recently announced freight rate
between San Francisco and Honolulu
were not received in the President
mail as was hoped. The only infor-
nation concerning the new schedule
now known by the Matson agency is
gained from the manitests which
show that the minimum charge for
small quantities Of freight has been
reduced from $3.50 to $3.50. Formerly
minimum charge of $3.50 was i'm.
posed by the Matson Steam Navigation
20. for any piece of freight less than
eight cubic feet in measurement.
Under the new schedule, according to
information received here by cable,
the base merchandise rate is IS a
ton. The new rate on sugar is 81 a
ton.

CHASED BY SUB
But GETS away

Relating how a shell passed within
six feet Of where he was standing on
the bridge of the ]. L. Luckenbach,
H. M. Dow, a former Honolulu resi-
rent, has written to ]. H. Soper, tell
ing of his ships experience in eyading
Hun submarine which continued to
shell the commercial vessel for three
and a half hours without sinking her.
The Luckenbach finally escaped BY
the timely arrival Of an American de-
stroyer. for which an s. o. S. call
had been sent out. When the subma
rine sighted the destroyer about six
miles off she submerged.
An extract from the Dow letter
gives this thrilling recital Of his ex
periences under fire:
"Our stern gun went out of commits
sion after three or four shots, so we
only had the bow gun. We kept at an
angle sufficient to use the bow gun

GREECE TO ENTER THE WAR
Diplomatic Relations With Central
Powers Broken off-says State
of War Now Exists.

Athens, June 3O-Tae Greek govern
ment has broken diplomatic relations
with Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bull
garia and Turkey.
Though war has not yet been de-
clared, the Greek government consid-
ers that a state of war exists since
its advent to power yesterday.
Paris, June 0.-Te1egraphing from
Athens under today's date the CORE
spondent of LIE Temps says:
1.-The Greek government has direct
ed it's minister to Switzerland, G.
Caradja, to communicate to the Greek
legation at Berlin, Vienna, Sofia and
Constantinople instructing the minis
tiers to break diplomatic relations be-
tween the Greek Kingdom and the
governments of Germany, Austria
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
1.-THE Greek ministers at these CAPT
tails are instructed to leave their posts
with their staffs and to place their
archives with the Netherlands lega-
tons.
THE rupture is based on the incom-
patibility of maintaining diplomatic
relations with governments that are
carrying in war in Greek territory"

COAL WILL BE CHEAPER NOW
Reduction in Price at
the Mines.

Washington, June 29.-An imme-
date general reduction Of 81 to $50
2 ton in the price of coal of all kinds
at the mine was agreed upon here to-
day by representatives Of the coal
operators.
This reduction is expected TO be fol-
lowed by still further decreases in
price after investigation into the costs
Of mining coal, and it is probable that
the government viii be given a still
lower price than that TO the general
public
The action means a saving os mil
lions to the people Of the Nation.
At a conference of operators from
all fields a resolution giving assent"
TO fixing of maximum prices was re-
ported by Ex-Governor Fort from
special committee. He said he be-
lieved the resolution was entirely safe
for the conference TO adopt and that
any responsibility as TO the legality OF
the fixing OF prices was put on the
government and not the operators, IN
der the terms of the resolution The
resolution points out that a great
national emergency now exists in the

AMERICANS LAND IN FRANCE
Advance Guard of Mighty Army Slip
ped Across Atlantic Unannounced
Are Seasoned Regulars.

Washington, June ZS-The advance
guard of the mighty army the United
States is preparing to send against
Germany is on French soil tonight
In defiance of the German subma-
rines, thousands of seasoned regulars
and marines, trained fighting men
with the tan of long service on the
Mexican border or in Haiti or San Do
mingo still on their faces, have been
fastened overseas to fight beside the
French, the British, the Belgian, the
Russian, the Portuguese and the ItaI-
ian troops on the western front
News of the safe arrival of the
troops sent a new thrill through Wash
ington. No formal announcement
came from the war department. None
will come, probably, until Major Gen
eral Pershing's official report has been
received. Then there may be a state
ment as to the numbers and compost
ton of the advance guard.
Press dispatches from France, pre-
sumabIy sent forward with the ap-
provaI of General Pershing's staff,
show that Major General Sibert, one
of the new major generals of the army.
has been given command Of the first
force sent abroad under General Per-
shing as commander-in-chief of the ex-
petition.
One thing stands out sharply, de-
spite the fact that the size of the task
that has been accomplished is not
fully revealed as yet This is that
American enterprise has set a new
record for the transportation Of
troops.
Considering the distance to be COW
cred and the fact that all preparations
had to be made after the order came
from the White House the night of
May Is, it is practically certain that
never before has a military expedition
Of this size been assembled, conveyed
and landed without mishap in so short
a time by any nation. 1t is a good
augury of future achievements. The
only rival in magnitude is the move
ment of British troops to South Africa
in the Boer war, and that was made
over seas that were Unhampered by
submarines, mines or other obstacles.

WANTS TO NINE MORE COAL
coddine Would Close the State
Brick Plant in Order to
Release Men.

So serious has become the situation
IN regard to coal production that War
den Codding viii ask permission Of the
new board of administration to close
down one or two departments at the
penitentiary and put all the men pos
sible at work in the prison coal mine.
The mine is not conducive to good
discipline" said the warden, but it
is now a question OF getting coal, and
all other considerations must be
showed TO the background for that
One department that will close, if
the warden has his way, is the brick
yard. 1t takes 500 tons of coal a
month and fifty-five prisoners to oper-
ate the plant The brick go into the
new buildings at the various state in
situations.
But We do not get enough for our
brick said the warden. For in
stance, we were only allowed 81 a
thousand for them ut one institution,
while We could probably have sold
them right at the prison gate for $3.50.
1t is almost scandal to make brick
under such circumstances. If the brick
plant is closed down we will save that
500 tons of coal a month. The fifty
five brick makers can be put to work
in the mine and they will mine LOO
tons Of coal a month. This would
make 1900 tons OF extra coal we could
be piling up each month this summer
at the state institutions as a buttress
against coal shortage next winter.
1t ought to be done by all means and
I believe the new board will grant me
permission to do So"
The twine plant will be kept in oper-
alton even though the brick and other
departments are closed down. A big
purchase of sisaI has just been made
and the warden wants to manufacture
as much twine as possible. 1T takes
Irvine to save the crop after we raise

not only this year, but next and the
next. 1t would be unwise TO shut down
the Irvine plant. Everything else at
the prison could be closed except the
mine and the farm and the men could
be used to good advantage in those
departments

RED CROSS FUND ia MILLION

the Great Work.

Washington, June 27.-The Nations

Spouse to the call for a 100 million
million dollars tonight by Henry P.

war council.
This figure assumes said Mr. Da-

dends amounting to some 20 million
dollars will turn their dividends over
to the Red Cross"
The policy of the Red Cross in ex-

said, in a statement thanking the mil
lions of contributors, will be to "con-
duct all our work with the utmost pub
licity and to take the public as COM
pletely as possible into our conf

Primarily the fund will be devoted

collected, but it is very evident that
the national Red Cross will have a
generous fund with which to begin
its tremendous tasks.
1.-THE result which has been achieved
is indeed gratifying. Never before in
the history of the world has such a
fund for the relief of human suffer
ing been raised by voluntary subscrip-
ton in so brief period
Nothing which has happened before
shows so clearly as this campaign
that the great heart of the American
people is in this struggle with deter
mination that our own men shall be
cared for, that everything that can
be done shall be done to hearten and
to aid the suffering peoples among
our allies, indeed that nothing shall
be left undone to win this war.

Cross in it's efforts to accomplish re-
suits with the large resources with
which it has now been supplied.

EXPOSED A GERMAN AGENT
A. Speech in Petrograd Shows Up the
Russian Agitator in
Bad Light.

Washington, June 28.-That King
Ludwig of Bavaria, commanding Ger
man forces, had conspired with the
Russian agitator, Lenine, toward get
ting a general peace without annexa-
ton or contribution was the deduction
from a State Department message re-
ceived today.
The message said Lenine had spoken
before the Russian Workmen's and
Soldiers Congress June %, in favor
of a general peace. M. Vierensky
then spoke, announcing he would re-
peat Lenine's speech. Reading from
a manuscript, he practically duplicat-
ed the agitator's utterances, whereup-
on he announced that the document
was in reality an intercepted wireless
signed by the King of Bavaria.

PLEA FOR HIGHER
RATES IS DENIED
Commerce Commission Says
There is No Reason for a
Horizontal Increase.
HELP FOR THE EASTERN LINES
Raise in Glass Rates Granted viii
Give Them 4 Per Cent More
Revenue.

Washington, June 30.-The Inter
state Commerce Commission today de-
MED the plea of the railroads of the
United States for horizontal increase
of Is per cent in freight rates
In it's decision the commission indi-
Gated it's willingness to increase class
rates in the Eastern district approx
mately Il per cent. Since about one
fourth of the freight handled is moved
under class rates, the decision virtual
ly allows the Eastern lines about 4
per cent increase in gross freight
revenue Increases sought in rates on
coal, coke and iron will be granted.
The commission found, as a result
of the extended hearings, that the car
riers generally show a substantial and
increasing financial prosperity and
that have ample resources with which
to conduct transportation.
Not Victims of War Prices.
Little sympathy was given the ar
guments of the roads that were vic
tins of war prices, the commission
holding that the carriers have profited
by the mobilization of troops
The commission suspended the pro-
posed tariffs until October %, but it
indicated that no rehearing of the case
will be of value at this time, and sug-
gested- cancellation of the tariffs.
The commission finds that the
gloomy forecasts of jeopardized in
comes, seen by railroad officials early
in 1917, have not been borne out by
the figures available for later months.
The proceedings were brought in
March, when the returns from Febru-
airy were just being made. February
was one of the worst months in rail-
road history. The subsequent months
have shown increasing revenues, while
expenses have, in many cases, failed
to mount to the extent the carriers
officials feared.
Compared Earnings With Banner Year
The decision points out that the car
riers' comparisons have been made
largely with those of 1916, which was
the banner year in railroad earnings,
and adds that the 1917 income might
be considerably diminished without
necessarily indicating a danger point
in earnings.

honor of the victims OF the revolution.
the moderate law abiding citizens are
assembling for the defense of the pro

In the last few days evidence has
been accommodating hat the members
OF the extreme right have combined
with the anarchists and members of
the Bolisheviki faction to utilize the
demonstration for the purpose of 4
counter revolution in the cause OF re-
action. The first sign of this was
given yesterday when Alexis Souvrin.

others appealed for a demonstration
against Premier Lvoff and his re-
placement by Admiral Kolchak, for
HFerly commander Of the Black Sea
fleet, who is in disgrace with the gov
eminent. Some of the agitators have
been arrested. but others faEoring a
counter revolution are still active

At a meeting of the Petrograd
council of deputies today a report was
presented which stated that the Dur
novo Palace, which is the headquar-
tiers of the anarchist authors OF last
Saturdays unsuccessful attempt 10

ing used for conferences of the 'reac-
tiOnaries. The report added that the
council daily was in receipt of fresh
facts proving that an attempt viii be
made TO convert Sundays demonstra-

Similar statements have been made
