into flames and dancing lines Of fire.
The ground trembIed. and windows
were shaken a mile to the rear Of the

German Reply Weak.
The German artillery's reply was
weak. The entire bombardment
lasted an hour, diminishing toward
the last. The Germans used their
heavy guns in the rear OF Montsec-

Oahu has gone dry"
War has brought disaster to the
thirsty.
No longer will the oahusns guam

group. today.
An executive order signed by

lid clamped down tight because OF
military necessity. T.r
Orders have been sent out to have
the native stills smashed to prevent
the Illicit sale of wet goods. An

work here, stated that the regulation
will be a blow to the thousands Of
Asiatics in the territory. Lifelong
friends of General Rum will have
crepe huttering from the doors OF
gln-milIs within a few days. the
Honolulan predicted. Kind friends in
America have passed the woeful It'd
ings to the islanders that the demise
OF King Booze can be nttingly OBJ
served.
The only beverage left TO drink Is
the reliable coffee, grown on the
island. While hundreds OF Americans
will realize the scope Of the prohibit
tion wave in the mid-Pacihc isle, it
is the Chinese and japanese residents
who will have the parched throats.
Scientists say that the Orientals have
to take 9 shot OF "kava" before start
ing their labors. 4 series OF work
