Our Casualties. GrO,U

n RMY casualties as reported by the war de-
a partment clearly reflect the growing part the
United States is plating in the war. In the publ
cation OF these reports the war department is fully
two weeks behind for the American forces have
in the past been so scattered, some billeted with
the French and some with the British and others
bv themselves that it is impossible to keep them
close to date Thus the casualties which are re-
ported today probably occurred about August ~
and our losses have been considerably greater than
rthe report shows.
On july 20 the total Of army losses as reported
VAS 1881 and that list was some two weeks back
OF the date of issue Thus from around the first
OF July to about the middle of August say August
TO- our casualties were l6,42 for reported yes
terdav we had lost from the army N,H3 In a
period of about six weeks they had increased by
700 percent.
rraI Pershing says there have been about 2OOOC
slightly wounded that were not reported because
they would be up and about again before the news
could reach relatives who would then be unneces
>arily alarmed.
Marine casualties as given i'll the list Of July q
were 1905 and as reported September |, the last
list to be received in this city. 2p7l, increase Of
| 100 in six weeks. Casualties reported by the
war department and from the Office Of the Marine
Corps are thus seen to be considerably more thar
thirty thousand or to have been multiplied by
three since the early part OF July.

VICTIMS Of WRECKS
APPEAL:FO.|R HELP
Captains Of Vessels Lost In South
Seas Are Left Without Money;
Chamber To Aid

The captains of the Annie Larsen
and A. NJ. Baxter which were wrecked
on the shores OF South Sea Island a
few months ago, and who, with the
majority of their crews were recently
landed in Honolulu, have found them
selves high and dry bere, without mon
ey, unable to secure financial relief
from the government, and as a last
resort they called upon the secretary
of the chamber of commerce yester-
day and told their troubles.
They said they arrived here practi,
cally without funds, They attempted
to secure money from their owners.
They said that had they been brought
to foreign shore they would have
applied at once to the American con
sui, who under the powers granted him
would have been privileged to secure
their transportation home and provl lc
for their necessities.
Honolulu, being part of the
United States, has no consul, of course
and they found that there is no one
here to officially care for castaways
They visited the collector of customs
but learned it is not within the province
| of that official to provide money, Oh
advance it, Franklin, however, sent 1
cablegram to Washington on their ae
count Whether no notice has been TAX
en- of the message, or whether II ha
been DELAYED in transit, is not certh n
but at any rate no reply has been re
ceived. The collector desired to IL
anything he could in his official capa
city.
When the matter was laid before See
rotary X. c. Brown of the chamber, h
offered to take up the matter with tn
mainland in any way that could be sug
gested. Mr.. Brown says the ease o
the captains Of these two vessels raise
question here which should be take
up. Hawaii being detached from tn
American mainland, castawayS are pra(
tically in the same situation as cast
aways thrown upon the shores of FIJI
OF any other foreign coast. He believe
something should be done at Washing
ton TO provide for contingencies of thj
sort here.
The captains were yesterday abl'
through new found friends, to secur
money to enable them to secure the
passage to. the Coast. The owner
merely authorized the payment Of tn
pay for the crews, with noting wha
ever for the officers.

JITNEY TANKS TO
BE HURLED
AGAINST THE HUN

WASHINGTON, August 25.-Thous
ands of American made "Jitney
tanks" equipped with Liberty motors
are to be hurled against the Germans
to overwhclm their last stand behind
concrete machine gun nests and barbed
wire, if the war department needs the
advice of officers of the American ex,
pcditionary forces
1t was learned that this is one Of the
main demands and G.osr immediate
needs of Pershing-that the light and
quick tank in great numbers has been
recognized as the best means Of smash
ing Germany main devices for de
fensp-the pillb0Xes and entanglements,
the principle causes of protractlng the
war-and opening up battle operations
for last offensive which alone will
give full protcncy to the allied sup
eriOr man power.
And the recommendation has been
made by the military authorities that
the Liberty motor be used for equip
ping this mvraid Of mobile little forts
because Of their suitableness for heavy
work and because they now are in
| quantity production.
Henry Ford already is making small
| tank parts, but not in sufficient guam
tity to open up the German lies gen
orally in time for a supreme allied drive
| this wear. The demand for these tanks
is for the spring Of 1919 to roll back
| the Germans from the old Hindenburl
line, where they are expected to MAKE
ltheir stand before the allied: drives
now and try to remain all winter,
That the final test will come on thi'
Hindcnhurg line is the military opinion
here. There is no expectation that the
present success Of the allies and tn,
Americans will strike the heavy blow
| that will crush or rOut the foe. There
is however, a widespread expectation
both here and abroad that fine supreme
allied blow will fall in next spring
| campaign and achieve that militar,
victory that alone will insure sernr
peace.
And dependence is being placed, y
far as weapons are concerned, more o.
the tank armada than on great florks .
acrnplancs.

as il has been surmised would have
been the case.

Important To Industry
Seven cent sugar means an increase
Of SO ton. On a next years crop
of the same proportions as this year a
fair estimate from present crop con
ditions and allowing for a shortage
of labor. it woul! mean an increase OF
/ &lO.sS7 900 for the crop over this

There is much of this years outturT
that is now in transit and still more
that has not been shipped and the new
price made effective for that sugar will
mean between two and three millior
dollars addition to the receipts frou
the present crop.
Other dispatches are likely to b'
received today or tomorrow announc
ing the figure for raws definitely.

Seue,, Cent SUGAR

~ RFSS drsDatChes from Washington received
JIG Saturday night told of the fixing OF the price
for refined cane sugar at seaboard ports at nine
cents and said this less two cents dltterentiat
10 the rehners Cable messages received yester-
day by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association
confirmed the nine cent price, less two per
cent but said the raw price would be announced
TODAY. 1t is agreed that this will be seven cents
but it may possibly be shade higher. The nine
cents price represents an increase OF 100 cents
pound and will probably be divided between the
producer and the re6ner % to the producer and
II to the rchner. nineteen dollars ton increase
in the price of Hawaiian sugar. The planters
message also contained the good news that the
rev price was to be effective Immediately and not
affect merely the next crop.
The added price was absolutely necessary if
the sugar producers we're to continue in business.
Costs have mounted greatly and are still mounting.
The hall cent increase which the sugar committee
first proposed might the present larger costs
but those costs continuing to mount and the
further increase will be largely needed to meet fur
Their cost increases in everything which the plant
erS require.
Nineteen dollars ton increase III raw sugar
price means millions in the receipts for the next
crop. Present indications that that crop will
be larger than the present which short be
cause of 1917 droughts, but hopes OF much
larger crop may be somewhat disappointed be
cause OF the labor shortage. Assuming only the
same crop as that which will be harvested this
year, the increase will mean $l0S87 OCO' more for
the crop than would be realized under the old
price.
If the new price is to be effective Immediately
as the message to the Planters Association ind
Gates, then the delayed shipments of this year vii
have been blessing to the industry for there are
large quantities still in transit and more than 100,
900 tons still to be shipped This will mean seve
raj million dollars added to this year receipts fol
the industry.

being up, when suddenly six Hun
planes appeared, all of the AlbatrOss

Huns and TIeinrichs knew he was fight
ing with the best. He maintained his
altitude, but two of his comrades were
damaged and one went down in a mass
of flames. Heinrich and his foe fred
point blank at each other, the German
outdoing him with machine gun fire.
One stream Of lead cut his wires and
went through one Of his planes. Then
Heinrichs dove down on the enemy
and the latter dropped, in order to
lead the American downward and give
IA second German machine the Oppor
tunity to "get' him. lie did not
"bite''
On his return observers said Hun

knew officially that he had gotten his

From the inside Of II cave they
watched the shells tearing up things
and after the bOmbardment was Ovel
