FOR ARMY DUTY

Everett Charles Edwards of San
Francisco, the first drafted man from
the mainland to be sent back for duty
in the national army by local exemp
ton board, will leave on an army
transport Upon arrival he will &c
to American Lake. ~....
Edwards was called to military sery'
ice through Division u, San Francisco
on September IL, according to eyi'
dence which Honolulu Board No.
has gained, but he arrived in Honolulu
on September IS. He claimed at that
time that he had not received any no.
tice to report TO his own board be
fore sailing for Hawaii. He had been
employed on one of the Matson boats,
he said, and supposed that was the
reason he had not received notice OF
am Call.
Chairman H. Gooding Field said to,
day the drafted man came here With
a young ~ife, whom he had married
after registration. She is said to have
remained in Honolulu two days and
returnedto the mainland Edwards Sc
cured d clerical job in the city. The
matter of his service wa turned over
TO Chairma- Field by Maj. T. J. Green.
and Mr. Field wirelessed at once to
San Francisco. A message came back
at once stating that Edwards was not
exempted and that he must report inn
mediately.
Edwards remarked this morning, /"
said Chairman Field, that he was
afraid it's going to be pretty cold at
American Lake" .-..-s-

J. F. Child, federal food admlnlstra-
tor, considers Injuries, and Things
which, under the new embargo on
luxuries, may h. barred from HAWAII
during the period of the war.
He points out that the value OF
candy imported to Hawaii each year
is valued at about $230,000, while the
value of tobacco imports probabiy
amounts to moro than half a million
cellars.
'Tf there is not ship space to bring
-Four and other necessary foodstuffs
to the islands," says Mr.. Child, then
practically all other commodities VIII
be considered luxuries. But what VIII
be classed luxuries will depend large
Iy on the food commissioner at the
other end of the line. 1t will not be
up to me. but up to him. 1t is also
going to depend on the ability of ship
pers at the other end to convince
the food controller that certain items
are not luxuries. -~.-:s
Il believe that within few. months
the American-Hawaiian steamers will
be placed back on the local run and
this, Of course, will greatly relieve
local conditions. The sugar crops
will have to be moved, as sugar is
badly needed on the mainland. And l
firmly believe that, if these boats are
put back, they will not come to Ha-
waii with empty bottoms as has been
the custom, understand, in the past. !"

.SCHUMAM COMPANY IS
READY TO WIT Nd
EMBARGO TEMfu.,ARlLl

Foresightedness on the part of the
heads of the Schuman Carriage Com
pany in stocking up with new automo
biles some time ago will aid the con
Germ in temporarily withstanding the
effects of the rumored embargo on au
tomobiles on ships plying between the
coast and the islands. Prospective
buyers Of Hudson Super-Sixes, Chal'
mers, Overland Country Club cars,
Oakland, 0ldsmobiles and Franklins
will be pleased to learn that the Schu
man Carriage Company still has quite
a number of new series of each model
on hand. Even should an embargo fol-
two months be declared the company
will be able to continue doing business
until the first of the year with the
stock on hand and the new shipment
may even reach here before the en-
barge is officially declared.
Owing to an error it was reported
that the company had only one new
model car for sale.
1t is Jrumored that an increase in all
cars will be made shortly.

IL. SEEKS TO
LIFT INJUNCTION

Again taking it's case to circuit
court, the Inter-Island Steam Naviga'
ton Co. has filed a motion to dissolve
the temporary Injunction and restrain
ing order secured against it by the
public utilities commission. 1t recent.
ly took the case to federal court, but
a motion to remand the cause, filed BY
the utilities commission, was granted
by Federal Judge Vaughan.
The temporary injunction enjoins
the steamship company from refusing
to obey an order CT the commission
commanding it to return to the sciled'
ule of passenger and freight rates in
effect in 1915.
1t is the contention of the comp any
that the new schedule of rates which
went into effect October Is was ap,
proved by the feoeral shipping 3oard
and that the company is witrn9t al.
thority to change these rates withou:
authority from So board. It has bet.n

its Issaance, aCG has returned to the
old schedule OF rates.
In its motion filed in circuit court

of the same. 1t also claims the conl.

1t is claimed that the commission
was without jurisdiction in making the
order, as the steamship company is
under the complete control of The
shipping board.

LIVES URGED
BY HUN Chief

FRENCH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, Oct. S.-Military leaders
in Germany have begun to recognize
that the waste in human lives must be
checked. s"-
Military orders. signed by Quarter
master General LundendOrff, have re-
Gently been taken from German pris-
oners, emphasizing the need for
economizing the nations human ma
terial." r.
Ludendorff, while placing the ut
most Importance upon economy OF
shells, comedies now that economy of
lives is more important, and must
hereafter take first place.
Out of 100000 men who figured
on the army rolls, the Prussian army
machine now only has about 6,500,000
left in the fighting ranks. Germany
is beginning to realize the grave sig.
nificance of this tremendous loss OF
man power.
Generals Order Efc =
Ludendorff's order, translated from
the copy taken on a German prisoner,
declares:
The consumption of munitions has
remained constantly very high re-
Gently on the fighting front, in spite
of the fact thot the combative acti-
witty has generally diminished.
I'm particular the consumption OF
shells for mortars and heavy field
howitzers is much greater than the
production.
This is serious However, the SUI
perior direction of the army can not
issue a new general order for a fur
Their restriction in consumption of mu
nitions, because our loss on all fight
ing fronts continues to be very high
and could become even higher if fur
Their general restrictions were made.
Economy in men. is even more inn
portant than economy in munitions.
1T is necessary to try to obtain an
Improvement in these two points. To
this end it is necessary to use NUM-
tons as carefully as possible, accord
ing to orders previously given, and al
so to regulate the tactics of our fight
ing methods according to regulations
given and the circumstances so as TO
diminish our losses.
Wastefui Warfare
ACCORDING TO orders which we nave
seen, and according to the complaints
of the troops, it is no longer in doubt
that we persist in our old ways of
seeing things and that We continue
along those wasteful lines on certain
occasions. These tactics are in the
tirst-line positions
Too severe fighting for possession
of ground, even a trench element,
which is of little tactical value with.
out Importance and even disadvan-
taeeous to defend.
"Hasty counter attacks without in
formation from the artillery. .
Too dense occupation of the first
lines. - +.
Large reserves kept too close or in
the open when no attack is planned.
Too much artillery fire against po-
sitions where there is no enemy, such
as destructive cannonadng of empty
trenches, useless barrage fire and can
nonading, especially at night when
there is not sufficient information for
regulating the fire"

n ETURNING to the United States
N after seven months in the Orient,
~ Art Smith, the aviator, is aboard a
Japanese steamship which arrived off
port this morning. Young Smith, who
| became famous by his loop-the.loops
at the San Francisco exposition, and
| acquired the name of the most dare
devil flyer in the world, is bound for
San Francisco, where he will confer
with number of businessmen re.
garding the launching and operation
Of an aero plant. Smith will probably
be made president of the company,
which is planning to locate its factory
at Fort Wayne, Ind.
Smith passed through Honolulu en-
route for the Orient in April. He had
already received requests from prom
inent clubs in Japan to fly under their
auspices, and many amusement con-
Germs had closed engagements with
the young American airman to appear
in exhibition flights. After flying for
several months throughout the jap
anese Empire, Smith went to Formosa
and then to Korea, where he thrilled

among the clouds. He also gave eX-
hibition flights in Mukden, Dairen and
Shanghai. He planned to visit Picking
and -Tientsin, but the disastrous
floods in that section prevented him
visiting the big Chinese cities, He
flew in "a cities, however, during his
stay in the Orient
Smith received 81 decorations for
his skill while in Japan. The most
coveted is the Order of Merit bestow-
ed upon the American flyer by the of.
ficials of the Imperial Aero Society of
Japan. He was also decorated with
an order of the Rising Sun.
The factory which is being planned
for Fort Wayne will occupy all of
Smiths time when he gets back to
the coast In case the plans are not
completed, or the men now in charge
do not think it practicable to go
through with the plans, Smith will
join the aviation section. He has
been enrolled in the American flying
squadron reserve since 1913.
When asked if he had heard of the
death of Frank Champion, the Ameri.
can aviator who was killed last week
while giving an exhibition flight in
Toxic, Smith was much affected
81 knew Champion well, and what's
more, l flew in that same old mono
plane in which he was killed." said the
young airman. That was the worst
machine l ever flew in. Do you re-
member those niger chasers' the
kids used to have on the Fourth of
July? The kind that twist and turn
and dart all over the place. Well,
that's just what ChaIhpion's; mono
plane was like. 1t was the most hilar-
ious joy ride / ever had"
With Smith is his Japanese secre-
tary, X. Imatsu!
