For Unusual Bravery.

In addition to the CrOiX de Guerre,
or War Cross, Elllston was singled
out for special distinction, being
award the Cross with Palms, which
means an act of unusual bravery.
During Il local engagement around
MOnastir in which the French were
cndeavoring to take strongly held
trench that formed the advanced ele-
ment of Bulgarian salient, the
troops advanced to the attack about
four in the morning. before the sun
had made any activity almost intoler-
able.
BY five o'clock the blue-coated pollus
had swarmed over the Bulgarian en-
trenchments, bayOneting or bombing
any of the enemy who remained to
offer resistance. The enemy counter
attack was slow in organizing, and
the poilus began the tiresome work
of consolidating the position. Almost
at high noon the violence in the en-
emy's shell fire presaged the coming
counter-attack. Fifteen minutes Ia
ter the Bulgars came over the top of
their second line of defense and hurled
themselves on the small band of
French.
The latter held firm and not only
succeeded in driving off the counter
attack, but chased the enemy back to
their second line, blowing up the.
dugouts and putting number OF
machine guns out of action. 1t was
during the intense heat of the mid
day and the concentrated fire of the
Bulgarian heavy guns that the
stretcher-bearers had to go out In the
open and pick up the wounded. NO
facilities were at hand for their treat
ment, and an ambulance was asked.

cash which is this day deposited in
the local banks and only drawing 2
per cent interest per annum is one
and one-half million dollars.
Among the most vital needs of the
day are good roads and contented
farming population tilling the soil and
making a good honest living. How
are we TO have them if the Govern
ment does not come through with the
capital and assist them? A man who
takes up a homestead needs assist
anee and the Government is the one TO
give it to him. We appropriate hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars annually
to bring immigrants into the ceun-
try, borrow millions for public i'm
provementS and wharves, but not one
cent for assisting the homesteader
who is struggling for an honest living,
trying to bring up family, perhaps.
of from four to ten children who are
citizens of our country, and also try
ing to raise produce for the markets.
The intent of this bill is TO assist
homesteaders and even if il does
only assist twenty families as stated
by the majority report, is it not better
to aid twenty families in making i
good living rather than to have their
children brought up in poverty ana
be confronted with the probability that
finally during old age some of them
Will have to be sent to the several
institutions for the poor, ETC., at the
expense of the Government and the
people? Is it not better that twenty
families be added each year to the
list of those who can care for them
selves rather than not assisting any
as at present? Should the expense
be considered when it is a case OF
assisting your neighbor to make an,
honest living and more especially
when the loans are well secured by
the property and the improvements
thereon Us provided for by this act?"
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-04-09

In spite Of a report by the majority
Of the finance committee contending
that the measure is contrary TO the
Organic Act in that the proposed loan
of 100000 could not be backed by
the credit of the territory, and there
fore would not revolve, the Farm
Loan Bill passed second reading in
the house today, the vote being to
adopt the minority report presented
by Representatives Lyman and Ka-
waha. 49,.
In part. the report of the minority
is as follows:
The intent of this act is to AID
the actual homesteader who is in
Iced of assistance so that he will be
able to get along in this world and
become an Independent man in the
community in which he lives. We are
not only in duty bound to pass an
act of this nature. but in order to be
true to our principles and the party
platforms upon which we were elected
and the pledges made during the cam
paign that we would make laws to
assist the people and the homestead
ers, we should pass this law or any
other similar law.
This bill will not create any hard
ship upon the resources Of the Terri
tory as the provisions for securing
the loan are well safeguarded by a
board that is given full authority to
look into all the applications for loans
before granting them, and no loans
wherein there is the least doubt will
be allowed. There Is no more oppor-
tune time than the present to make
a start, as is shown by the great
cash surplus which is now available
in the Territorial treasury. Reports
show that the estimated cash balance
on hand at the end of June 80, 1917,
above all expenses viii be the vast
amount of $750.000; and further 1t can
be shown that the Territory's available

Committee ON
KUHI0 WHARF
MAKES REPORT

That the legislature allow an appro-
priatiOn of $350.000 for proposed new
piers at Hilo c. the ground that the
Crescent City is a much congested
port, Is one OF the recommendations
of the public lands committee in re-
porting out on its investigation OF ku-
hio wharf. 49,.
Tie investigation was to determine
why the Great Northern and vessels
of the Matson fleet do not use the
wharf In its report the committee
says, in part:
Your committee finds that Kuhio
wharf is an up-to-date substantial
structure. That IL is built in the
wrong position, having been put up IN
a position opposite to the prevailing
currents and thus in bad weather,
which is about one or two months in
the year, an undertow is caused which
your committee believes win De OBJ
waited when the breakwater is COM
pleted. II the wharf had been con-
structed facing the current and not
broadside to it the undertow would
have no effect. Your committee re-
commends that. whenever any piles
are removed they be replaced with
concrete piles so as to make perma-
nent structure, as some OF the. ohia
piles are now rotting. re-. e.
your committe further recon-
mends that the dolphin piles be re-
moved or cut to the level of the wharf
and that at the enc, of the
wharf. where there is depth of 20
feet of water a slip be constructed so
that lumber vessels can tie up there
and discharge. AS, It is there is con-
siderable LOSE of space at this point.
we believe that the present wharf
age charge throughout the territory is.
insufficient to cover running expenses
and the payment OF interest on the
amount Of money invested by the gov
eminent in its wharf properties, and
therefore .conscientiously recommend
the wharfage rates be increased from
2 cents a ton day on the net register
ed tonnage of the vessel to ~ cents;
and your committee recommends that
house resolution be accepted and plac-
ed on file and that copy of this re-
port be sent to the board of harbor

LIKELIHOOD OF
EXTRA SESSION
APPEARS SMALL

d J.
Little likelihood Of any extension of
time for the present legislature is
seen by President Chillingworth Of
the senate or Speaker Holstein of the
house, according to statements today.
President chillingworth not only
thinks an extended session unlikely,
but declares that he will oppose any
efforts to secure one.
81 do not see the need of one" he
said today. Certainly the senate is
along with it's work enough to finish
things up in the remaining 20 days.
There will be no special session il
the senate will hurry up and finish
work on the important bills now in
its hands," says Speaker H L. Hol-
stein of the house of representatives,
and I dosnot believe that. under any
circumstances, will there be an extern
sion of time.
Should there be special session
or extension of time it will be. the
first time such a thing has happened
since 1907. The legislature has Gl-
ways been able to finish its work in
SO days.
Senator Coney is opposed to an ex-
tended session, but he is doubtfdl il
the work yet ahead of the legislature
can be finished in the time left. He
said today that he believes more time
will be necessary.

HOMESTEADING
IS UNDER fire

Commissioner of Public Lands
Bertram G. Rivenburgh expressed OPP
position this morning to the house
resolution which proposes to back Del
egate Kuhio's bill which would turn
the control of lands out of the hands
of Congress to the territorial legisla-
ture. He discussed the question with
the senate lands committee.
Rivenburgh told the senators that
he believes such a policy would, not
work satisfactorily; that 1t would.
swing, disposition Of land here and.
there according to whatever faction
CHANGED to get in control There was
also good chance for making politi-
cal issue of the land question by such
change.
Considerable discussion of the ques-
ton was had this morning Robert
W. Breckons, who was present at a
portion of the meeting, expressed the
belief that IL the territorial legislature
is capable Of handling millions of dol
lars in funds every session it is also
able to handle lands with discretion.
As far as pork" goes, Breckons said,
the legislature has as clean record
as any Congress.
It developed during the talk that
the committee is far from satisfien-
with the present system by which %
men can petition for the homesteading
OF any tract of government land, the
only requirement being that it shall
not be homesteaded until the present
crop of cane is grown. Rivenburgh
said the system cuts down government
revenues and does not work for the
true ideal of demonstrating.
IF the government could be sure,
of its bona fide homesteaders," said
Risenburgh, 1T could well afford to
give the land to them. The trouble
is that many people use the law mere
~ as a method of getting land for
specializing They live out two years
en- their claims sometimes it is diff
cult to get them to do that-and then
sell their shack and lease the land tc
a mill company"
Senator Robert Hind cited one in
stance of where out of the % petition
ers not more than seven or eight were
bona fide homesteaders Some of them
lived on other islands and signed the
agreement to please their friends. The
resolution was finally laid aside for
further discussion.
