a year or somewhere around 100000
tons more than the average loss by
war but the increase has been con-
siderably reduced owing to the greater
activity in naval construction. Should
the present ratio Of construction and
destruction continue for another year
say till June Both, 1918, we might
figure a reduction in the worlds ton

out. However, II must be remembered
many vessels have been commander

ceiving very hard usage and lack OF
renewal and proper maintenance, con
sequently much of this tonnage will
be practically worthless or laid up for
repairs for long periods. On the other
hand owing to the unprecedent prices

MAUNA KEA HAS
343 PASSENGERS

Bringing back Co. B of the 25th
Infantry, which has been stationed
at Hilo ever since the second week
after the war with Germany began,
the Mauna Kea came in this morning
with over 800 passengers. There were
245 passengers in the first cabin, and
SO men in the steerage. No deck
passage was sold to others than men,
bers of Co. B, excepting to two Ha-
waiians.
At the outbreak of the war Hilo peo-
pie asked to be given military pro-
lection and Co. B was sent there for
guard duty. AS fear of an emergency
has passed on Hawaii and a number
of private guards are being employed
by the big ranches to stop the spread
ing of anthrax, the troopers were
brought back here for duty with their
regiment.
Before leaving Hilo, the baseball
team Of the company was presented
with the sum of $25 by the Hilo Base
ball League. The army team sup
piled a lot of baseball entertainment
for the people of the Crescent City
while they were stationed there.
The following freight was brought
in by the Mauna Kea: four autos,
one army wagon, four mules, eight
crates of chickens, 40 sacks of vege-
tables and fruit, 16 quarters of beef, :.
20 sacks of cabbage, ia sacks Of
corn, $50 sacks of bran and $50 pack
ages of sundries.

Burns-Philip & Co., the big trading
and shipping firm Of Sydney, has
opened offices in the Merchants Ex-
change building in San Francisco, and
in future will conduct its own busi-
ness direct instead Of through a local
agent. Joseph Mitchell, who has been
in the states for some time as repre-.
sentative Of the company and through
whom q number Of orders for trading
schooners were given, will be in
charge Of the office.
The local office Of the company
was decided on owing to the tremen-
dous activity in copra. The Burns
Philip Co. is importing great quantities
Of this island product which has
reached an unheard of price.
In the near future the company
will have at least a dozen vessels ply
ing regularly between copra ports and
San Francisco. These vessels are
chartered by the Burns-Philip Co. and
bring copra that has already been sold
to San Francisco firms at the copra
port. The copra is brought here for
them at an average rate of $50 per
ton for freight charges. Among the
vessels now plying in this trade are
the schooners Lily, James Johnson,
Minna A. Kane, the Oceania Vance,
all American, and the new British
motor ship Geraldine Wolvin. The
latter was built by the Brown Co. in
Vancouver on the design Of the City

"chariots Of Iron" at GAIA

History repeats itself down to mi

us, and recalls previous operations at
GAIA related in the Book of Joshua.
1t says:
"If that picturesque special CORE
spondent to whom we owe the narra-
tive of the sun and moon standing still
l athe Valley of Ajalon had witnessed
the onslaught of General Allenby's
auxiliaries, he might have pictured be-
henIoth wallowing on the shore and
leviathan rising out of the sea. 1t is
related in the Book of Judges that
thought the tribe of judah took GAIA,
they could not drive out the inhabi-
tants of the valley because they had
Chariots of iron.
ALLOWING for the intervening cen
turtles which have transformed the
'chariots of iron into tanks, we see
that in this case the omens are in
favor of the invaders, and we may
reasonably hope that the clearing out
