D. c. BOY ESCAPES
FROM TRENCH TOMB

Emanuel Leshin. formerly sales
manager OF the Federal Sales and
Service Company. and attached to the
Food Administration here before he
enlisted, has been Rassed and had a
narrow escape from death when he
was buried by the explosion Of big
shell. He was laid up in a hospital
for while, but has returned to his
company and gone TO the front again.
He was gassed on the Nerdun front
and sent to a Red Cross hospital.
He has written to his sister describ-
ing how he was gassed, but is all
right and going again soon to fight.
He says in part:

ROPED ARENALOSI
PUPIL TO STAGE

Certain prominent gentlemen in Eu-
rope having set the fashion in sbdica-
ting this season, another king is ready
to announce his resignation OF a
throne he has held without serious op-
position for several years. He Is Harry
Cooper. featured comedian with The
Sporting Widows" at the Gayety Thea
ter this week.
Cooper's abdication from the throne
of the burlesque kingdom IS not due
10 pressure from outside sources, he
declared with much emphasis today.
He is forsaking the burlesque boards
to shine in the vaudeville armament
next year. The versatile Gayety' star
has already signed contracts which
will give him almost continuous run
over the Keith and Orpheum circuits
next season
II is not his own fault that Cooper is
not a ring champion instead OF dean OF
the funmakers along the Columbia
burlesQue circuit. Early in life he
tried to learn the ways, Of the ring,
and would doubtless have become ?
knight of the padded 'mitts had It not
been for the intervention OF his faith
er.
His boyhood life spent in San Fran
cisco, Cooper has been in the East
only since his debut on the stage.
As q boy, Cooper admitted he belong
ed to a street gang in Frisco that
practiced markesmanship by firing
rocks at an opposition group until
the police interrupted this early phase
of his training.
Successful in amateur theatricals.
Cooper was convinced that the stage
was his destiny. After preliminary
venture on the stage on the West
coast the burlesque star went to New
York. There his real debut was made
as a fun provoker for leading at
traction on the Columbia burlesque
circuit.

TWO MORE LOANS
EVEN IF WAR ENDS

More Liberty loans are coming. The
surrender of Austria, the collapse OF
Turkey and Bulgaria, the belief that
Germany is "through"-despite all Of
this, the nation must address itself
to preparation for additional loans
when offered"
The first official indication OF what
the Government expects TO do in the
way of meeting expenditures, now and
in the future. came today in state
ment by the Federal Reserve Board.
Lamenting the fact that while there
has been improvement in the situa-
ton. the statement says. "there must
be more systematic saving and less
dependence on the banks to furnish
funds with which to enable the bor-
rowers to meet requirements OF the
Government"
It was forecast in Treasury circles
that March or April would be the
time when the nth great var-loan
would be offered the public The
quick change of International scenery
and the onrush OF events, however,
may make IL sooner. But the NTH
and, without doubt, a sixth war loan
wifi come whether peace comes early
or late.
The fifth loan, II. IS planned will be
the homecoming loan raised to get
the Yanks back.
The Federal Reserve Board, for the
first time, fatty places the blame for
the high cost of living during the
war. And Mr.. Average Citizen has
been found by investigation OF the
board to have aided and abetted the
food prices in their tendency TO
mount. The statement denies that
large issues OF Federal Reserve and
Federal Reserve Bank notes have
caused the rise in prices.

RECLAMATION BILL
UP TO GOVERNOR
Much Agitated and Unfortunately
Delayed Waikiki Project Prom
iSes To Become Reality

With the passage of Senate Bill %
terday, legislation for the reclamation
of the Waikiki swamps, agitation for
which has extended over number of
years, has come to a head and in the
event that the Governor signs the meas
ure, work will be commenced shortly
on public works project that means
much to the health and sanitation of
this city as well as enhancing the
beauty and landscape of the Waikiki
district.
This bill, which passed the senate
yesterday. after having been amended
slightly in the house, carries an ap-
preparation of 100000, which is es.
timated will cover the payment of the
first unit. of the work, shortly to be
commenced
Surveys have been made by the board
of public works and all that remains
for this project to become reality, Is
the advertising of bids and awarding
of contracts.
The project calls for the dredging
of channel from the sea through the
Fort De Russy property and thence to
point about mile mauka of Kala
kaua Avenue through the Waikiki
swamps. The channel will ultimately
be $50 feet wide and thirty-six feet
deep The material taken from this
excavation will be used to fill in the
adi acrnt land and raise ii above sea
level II is estimated that more thar
700 acres of land will thus be reclaim
ed In addition to its being mucf
needed sanitary measure, the project
when completed, gives unlimited posi-
biltirs for one of the most beautiful
parks in the world, as a miniature
Venice could be easily constructed will
net work of minor canals, which
could be drrdgcd at little expense.

PURCHASE KILLED
House Tables Senate Bill But
Takes Action To Keep Propo-
sal Alive For Regular Session

While no further chance exists that
anything will be dore at the special
session Of the legislature toward having
the Territory acquire Washing ton Place
as an executive Vnnsion, for the sen
ate's bill TO buy the property was
Killed promptly in tue house yesterday,
a move Is to be made at the closing
session tomorrow to keep the project
alive until the regular session. It is
planned to do this in a resolution that
will be offered by Representative An.
drews providing for an investigation Of
the title of the property, the rights Of
the Domiuis minors, and other ques
tons Of the kind.
The bin that was passed in the sen
ate provided that Washington Place
should be acquired at an outlay that
should not exceed $4,000. The bill
came in for opposition from Repre-
sentatives Andrews and Jarrett when
il reached the house yesterday. 1t was
cOntended that the purchase Of the
property could not be regarded in the
light of emergency legislation and it
was also held that the bill had been
held back too long and that no action
should be taken until full investign
ton of the matter had been made. The
house then tabled the bill.
Neither favoring nor OppoSing :he
project, Representative Andrews said
afterwards that he felt the proposal to
buy Washington Place was one worthy
of consideration and said he intended
to introduce at the closing session a
resolution drawn to have full in
quiry made Of all facts in connection
with the property so that the informa
ton could be placed before the legis,
lators at the next regular session.
Action that the legislature has taken
in the matter probably means that hope
Of ending litigation over the Queen =
estate out of court is now gone. Prince
Kuhio, who is seeking to have the
Queen s viii set aside and break the
LiliuOkalani trust, was one of the prime
movers in the project of having the
government take over Washington
| Place as an executive mansion and as
memorial to the Queen. He said
that if the trustees of the Liliuokalani
trust would give the property to the
Territory for these purposes and make
certain other property settlements with
him, he would withdraw his suits, which
are scheduled for hearing next week.
As the property was not transferred,
| however, it is understood that the
court fight will proceed.

SUCCESS ON MAUI
Valley Isle Manufactures Good
Y Product Which Is Great
" In Demand

The resolution proposed in the house
by Representative William f. Miles
that the Board Of Public Works should
investigate the. possibility Of making
cement on the Islands for the use in
government projects, called attention
to the possibility of developing new
building. industry which win prove a
great saving to the Territory. Maui
has been making a very good quality Of
cement for some time and there are at
present private companies on Oahu and
Hawaii who are investigating the posi-.
bility Of going into similar projects on
those islands.
The success Of the cement business
on Maui has not been very widely
known in the Islands, but 1t is claimed
now that cement can be made by the
Maui Agriculture. Company at their
plant at Paia for One.third of what it
costs to ship the product from the
Coast. While the Maui plant is small
and produces barely enough for local
use, 1t has proved the feasibility of
cement manufacture in the Islands. At
first the product was not of a good
grade, but later IL was found that tho
one Ingredient lacked was silica. This
added, q first grade cement was pro
dueed. Now at Haiku and Paia plan.
tations much cement is used in bull ling
and warehouse and in railroad cross
ings. At present the Haiku cannery is

CONSUMPTION FOR
AUSTRALIA PROBABLE

COnscriptlon for Australia is likely
to be one of the effects of the Hun
offensive, according to o. II. Ochs Of
the American Tobacco Company who
passed. through Honolulu yesterday on
the Sonoma on his way to the Coast
from the South Sea Islands and the
AntipOdeS. All through the Austria,
liam commonwealth there is renewed
agitation for a draft law, as the PEG
pie at large are becoming aware that
new sacrifices will be necessary before
the war is won.
Although big recruiting campaign
was launched just after the Hun drive
began there are still thousands Of able
bodied men who have not offered them
selves for service. Organized labor in
Australia has prevented rOnUcriptiOn
being passed 80 far, and Premier
Hughes has promised not to press the
measure again, but with the present
change of feeling, says Ochs, draft
law is still possible

Women Don OVeralS
In Kau District
To Help Win War

Nearly every woman i'll Kau district,
Island of Hawaii, has donned the ser
vieeable overalls and is engaged in in
tensive gardening and small farming
to increase the output of food prod
uts. Miss Bertha Ben Taylor, super
vising principal of the school depart
ment for West Hawaii, has reported to
the food commission that the entire
district is unusually enthusiastic over
the food conservation and food produr
ton campaign.
One Of the reasons for women adopt
ing the overalls was the necessity for
local production of nearly all food
products for home consumption. This
resulted in a rush Of the women to
the plantation stores and the Oriental
haberdasheries to buy the familiar blue
denim working clothes.
Down in Kau they were not fastidious
about the cut Of the overalls. or
whether they had sashes here and
frills there They just wanted the
rOomy garments which the men wear
in the machinery sections of the mills
and on the railroads. overalls with
plenty of room, no matter whether they
looked "nice' or looked well from
a mirror standpoint
Miss Taylor reports that NOR" garden
truck has been planted throughout the
district in the last three months than
had been planted in eighteen wears b"
fore. In addition to the work being
done with school gardens the boys ar"
raising more at home. Miss Taylor con

The special emphasis which has been
placed on the production of taro is
also showing results. This spring the
