Maj. Gen. G. H. V. Allen, of Fair
Haven, has begun his duties as chief
clerk in state headquarters. For
sometime there had been a need of an
extra man for clerical work and Maj.
Allen has been appointed by Adj.
Gen. Johnson. For the present at
least he will not need to relinquish
his duties as chairman of the Rutland

Broken homes, ruined factories,
shattered churches, violated graves, 1t
had seemed to me we had rung all the
changes on the destruction Of war.
But there remained one-the tragedy
Of the trees. You can rebuild houses,
churches, towns even-for that takes
only money. But you can't rebuild or
chards Of fruit trees and avenues OF
great shade trees-for that takes time.
We were seeing them everywhere now
orchards with trees that were but
faded, shriveled bunches Of brown
leaves lying on their sides; orchards,
where these had been cleared away,
that showed nothing but white-topped
stumps. They say that, when the
warm spring came, some Of those or
chard trees, lying on their sides but
not wholly severed, leafed gently and
then-just before they died-bloomed
once again for France.-Inez Haynes
Irwin in McClure's Magazine.

Making shrapnel.

New inventions have been made by
Americans, and American machine
tools for shell making have been sent
to Europe and are used In the factories
there. The number of shells of shrap-
mel made in this country is almost be-
yond computation. Long before we en-
tered the war our different factories
were turning out hundreds Of thou
sands OF shrapnel week, and 1t was
due to this demand for munitions that
enabled us to turn out the big product
we are now making. This Is so not
only Of shrapnel, but of powder and
explosives Of all kinds. Before the war
one company was making about 4OO-
900 pounds of military powders per
annum, another was turning out 300
12-inch shells per day, and third
making 100000 loaded time fuses a
month. The orders Of the allies ran
into many hundreds Of millions Of dol
lars and 1t is said that almost $1,000
100000 worth of war supplies were
contracted for by ]. p. Morgan & Co.

! had not thought that we could pos
slbly enter into new phase of horror,
but 1t was born on Boxing day, when
the first whispers reached us Of the
destruction Of the oil fields. Frankly,
we had, each and every one Of us, COM
pletely forgotten the oil A man, q
friend Of ours, drove up in a motor,
streaked with CRIME, weary and dead
to the world. After lunch he started
to tell his story, fortified by big
cigar.
He had been one of party who
went out alone to the petrol city to
destroy. No one would give them
help, and he told us wonderful ac-
counts Of the scenes which he had wit
messed. The first step had been to
capture every single man and boy who
knew anything about the petrol plans
and deport them bodily to Moldavia,
so that the Germans should find no
skilled workmen to utilize to their
own profit. And then few pairs of
hands sufiiced to crumble and lay In
ashes what many hundreds of brains
had worked to build. First they broke
up all the machlnery-the how Of the
happening is lmmaterial; the most
primitive and brutal weapons served
them best. Then they poured benzine
from the roofs of factories down their
walls and set them alight, they dug
trenches round the vats and started
blazing channels Of flame toward the
reservoirs. These blew up each In turn,
and SCOT and flames made Of what had
been sunlight an eternal night where
the fire king went mad. Town by town
saw the destroyers come to let hell
loose, and factory after factory writh-
ed In death agony Of twisted Iron to
send Jets of poison fumes after the
four small flying motor cars. The de-
vastatlon left by retreating army lay
before them, turmoil of an enemy
drunk with success stirred in the wind
gusts that fed the flames from the
south. One can hardly credit the fact
that those few little men have so eff
fectually accomplished what they set
out to do that 1t will be six months be-
fore the Germans can squeeze a drop
of petrol from the saturated earth.
In our English hospital there is a
man who has had his foot amputated
He lay pinned under burning car. A
hatchet was brought by doctor to a
French officer standing near, and the
doctor said: "Do 1t If you can; have

GENERALISSIMO OF ALLIES

Gen. Ferdinand Foch, who has been
put in supreme command of the armies
of Great Britain, France and the Unit
ed States on the west front, Is of
Basque origin, and is famed as
strategist
Foch began by mastering the STRAIT
egy of the war of 1870 in its minutest
details. Knowing the mentality of the
Germans, he counted upon their repeat
ing in future conflicts the maneuvers
that had succeeded. He also expected
them to make some of the old mis-
takes.
In his teachings at the Superior
war school and in his writings he held
always to the Idea of an inevitable ag-
gression by Germany, sprung with
lightning-like rapidity after long pre-
meditation and most minute prepara-
tion-the swift thunderbolt of the
opening to develop into struggle of
colossal proportions. To parry the
blow, Foch said repeatedly, France

More than $4,000 in jewels and

The MAKING or
4 FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. PinkE1am's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
eve the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for WomaG's ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and al have to be
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as a final p~recaution in cleanliness
the medicine is ~pasteUrized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in it's preparation
which has made this famous medicine
90 successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from vonen who have
been restored to health by the use of

Death of Month old Jap
aneSe Infant

The police have started an invcstiga
ton to determine the cause Of death
Of the one month old infant son Of Mr..
and Mrs. F. Yamoda. Doctor jackson,
who started the investigation, SAYS that
the infant died of opium poisoning.
According to the story told by the
mother, the child developed a bad cold
few days ago and she administered
cough syrup purchased at the Ako
nashi Drug Co, King and River streets
The woman saws that she gave the in
FAINT but one drop of the medicine but
there was no Improvement. She then
took the child to Doctor ToyOka fol
treatment. Later Doctor Jackson was
called in and he ordered the child taken
to the Children 5 hospital, where it
died.
Analysis of the cough mixture Showcr
only a small trace of cOdein, not enough
it il said, to cause death. The medl
cine administered by Doctor T0yOk0
also contained no narcotic. Further
investigation Of the case will be mad,

COUNTY DRY
No Licenses VIII Be Issued To
Sell Liquor After First Of Next
July on Valley Isle

Maui will grant no licenses for the
sale Of liquor after July 1. Report Of
tnls determination was contained in n
message sent to the Star Bulletin by
its Maui correspondent. The resolution
was offered by Commissioner D. H.
Case and seconded by Commissioner
Lind. As It carried il was worded as
follows:
Whereas, the citizens of Maui as
n war measure are urging that during
the continuance of the war sale of in
toxicating liquors in the county be dis
continued; and
Whereas, the Maui Chamber of
Commerce has recommended as war
measure that this board refuse to grant
any liquor licenses whatsoever prOvid-
ing for the sale and disposition Of in.
toxicating liquors in the County of
Maui from and after July l, 1918;
Therefore be it resolved by the
board Of license commissioners for the
County of Maui, that as war measure
and at least for the duration Of the
war, no licenses or renewals of licenses
allowing and permitting the sale Of in.
toKicating liquors in the County Of
Maui should be granted, to take effect
from and after July l, 1918"
Thus Maui will join Oahu and Kauai
in being lcenseless, Oahu through the
presidential proclamation creating it a
dry military zone and Kauai through
the voluntary action of the liquor Ii
cense commission. Only the Island of
Hawaii is left as a refuge for the
wholesaler who would ship liquor in to
consumers here for use in their homes.

Efficiency Tests
w. S. S.

# HE searchlight OF war has brought out many
L interesting facts, and one Of these is that the
vaunted German efficiency will not always stand
the test of comparison with American efficiency.
The Germans boosted of being the greatest
farmers on earth. Investigation shows that in
efficiency in agriculture, measured by the produce
per acre America being graded 100, Belgium leads
The world, at EOS; Great Britain comes second, at
O4 and Germany third, at l55; America comes
fourth
But the better test is the man test rather than
the acre test, and here America leads the world
by over two to one. Again, grading America al
100 per farm worker, Great Britain produces forty
three and Germany forty-one. The American
farmer cultivates twenty-seven acres, the German
farmer but seven. With the aid of vast quantities
OF fertilizer the German produces more per acre
but he produces at much greater cost per bushe
and he produces much less than half much pei
