mother.
Tom had cousin Joe, who WAS the son
of IA rich man, but Joe WAS Jealous, selfish,
greedy and lazy He disliked Tom SIMPLY
because Tom was we'll liked for his kind
heart and good manners.
One day Tom rose Mt sunrise and pIowed
till it was 40 late that he could hardly
see the earth In the dusk he caught sight
of twinkle Of light in the bushes and
thought IL firctlies. But as ho went by
he heard tiny voice singing:
Heed what woodland fairies sing,
In the bushes is n ring,
Wishes three are granted thee
II thou wear II faithfully.
Tom. searching IN the grass, and guided
by the CLEAN, soon found handsome ring
of gold, IN which glittcred large diamond.
lie placed it on his finger, then sang aloud
his thanks, saying:
Little fairies, good and true,
Take the thanks give to you

The pretty gift you gave tonight.
'I will 90 home before ! make any
wish" he SAID aloud. So sitting on his
horse he rode slowly back TO the cottage.
He did not notice that behind him was
following the form of his cousin Joe,
who had heard every word and had seen
him get the ring Joe had determined
to steal the ring rs soon as Tom WAS
asleep So he hid behind the porch and
waited.
Tom kissed his mother and showed her

ALIEN ENEMY WOMEN
MUST HAVE PERMITS
TO COME DOWNTOWN

According to teleAraDhic orders re
ceiVed from Washington yesterday by
United States Marshal Smiddy, on and
after October 5, all alien enemy wo
men residing in the Hawaiian Islands
must secure from the United States
marshal a permit to reside in, enter in,
pass through or do business in FIVE re-
stricted districts in Honolulu.
One of these districts embraces the
business districts from the waterfront
to PunehbOwl and certain points east
and west as the marshal will designate
There will also be exclusion zones about
the various military posts on this island.
These women will be furnished with
passes upon the presentation of proper
application. Each applicant must fur
nish three photographs, one of which
will be pasted on the permit. The per
NIT is revocable at the pleasure of the
attorney general if any violation of the
law or the President s proclamation is
committed within the above described
districts. Marshal Smiddy will be
ready to accept applications for these
permits today.

German, Fraternity

Il HE ftermannS SOehne may De perfectly IN
L nocuous society in its charter aims and its
constitutional the endeavor to perpetuate Ger
man ideas and the German tongue among citizens
of and residents in tue United States may be so
considered-but the local branch of that society
has been conducted in a manner opposed to the
present interests Of the community and the Nation.
The officers have refused to 60 record as de-
sirous of showing themselves good Americans and
as anxious to avoid any appearance of evil.
The Advertiser some months ago called atten-
ton to some of the things done by this society.
In the light of the investigation under way we
will repeat what we know to be facts regarding
the local Hermanns Soehne.
Included in the membership of this society are
some hundred percent Americans jealous of their
Americanism and anxious that they be implicated
in nothing that would bring them under suspicion.
These members have been afraid that others Of
the Hermanns Soehne might blab out their true
war sentiments in some moment of excitement and
taking advantage of the cover of the German lam
guage compulsorily used in all meetings of the
lodge. Accordingly, two resolutions were drawn
up one provided that the business of the lodge be
conducted in English during the period of the
war, in order to avoid suspicion and possible
trouble the other, alternate resolution in the
event of the first being voted down ruled out,
was to the effect that all meetings of the lodge be
mittee be empowered to transact all necessary
business. The Hermanns Seehne, it should be re-
membered, is fraterna organization, with certain
sick benefits and funeral expense payments due
members, and the hundred percent American mem
bers desired to retain membership in order not to
forfeit unless they had to, what money they had
paid into the treasury.
Each resolution offered and each was sum-
marily ruled out of order. The presiding officer
refused to permit either to be put to a vote. Be
ing thus rebuffed some of the American members
rendered their resignation, appreciating the fact
that they could not remain members of the lodge
and keep themselves above suspicion. Again they
were rebufed and they were told that their resig-
nations would not be considered. They could not
remove their names from the membership roll of
only course they were told, would be to stop pay
ing dues, whereupon, if the other members saw
fit, they would be dropped at the "proper" time
for failure to meet their obligations. In no way
could they leave the lodge voluntarily and in no
way could they prove their intention of drop
ping out on patriotic grounds. 1t could always be
said of them, and the record would prove it, that
they did not resign but kicked out as delin-
quents.
This may be good German idea of brotherhood
but it demonstrated to some quite few months
ago that the sooner the Hermanns Soehne were
wiped out the better chance Honolulu has of being
a one hundred percent American city.

MAUI CHAMBER URGES
CREDITS FOR GERMAN

Students in all the high schools of
the Territory who have been studying
the German language as a part of their
course, and who are now prohibited
from continuing the study, should have
proper credits to Offset this, particular
ly for those who contemplate enterting
mainland colleges, is the opinion Of the
Maui Chamber of Commerce.
The Maui organization addressed a
copy Of a resolution recently passed by
the chamber to the Honolulu chamber,
requesting that the local body use its
influence with the territorial board of
education to have this view accepted.
The resolution, which was referred to
the committee on public schools and
vocational training Is as follows:
"Moved that the Maui Chamber of
Commerce request of the Territorial
Board of Instruction that it makes
every endeavor to secure for such stu
dents Of the several high schools Of the
Territory as have been pursuing the
study of German for one or more
years, and who contemplate entering
college, proper school credits for such
study; to the end that such students
may not suffer because of having stu,
died German rather than some other
language; and further, that the several
civic bodies of this Territory be re-
Qested to give this subject their con.
sidrration, and, if they believe it wise
so to do, join with US in this request. "

} luagement and supervision of the Kalihi
rcCci ~ station for lepers not to be met by
the di..Iarge of one two underlings. 1t is not
the particular fault of few janitors that is being
criticized, but system that places incompetents
in supervising positions over such place as the
kah station
The summary discharge OF one or two men ag-
gravates the situation instead of clearing it, in the
light of the statements made by a responsible
woman of the community who has been investi-
eating solely as humanitarian and as one inter
csted in the health and welfare of the community
and desirOus Of giving whatever of happiness be
possible to most unfortunate people She
believes that she has been trihed with by the
officials of the board Of health to whom she most
property carried her complaints before attempting
to make them public, and she is further convinced
that the discharge of one two underngs has
not been done to remedy the condition she COM
plains of but, on the contrary, has been done to
prevent airing of these conditions and other
conditions she knows of very much more grave
The kah receiving station, since the amend
ment OF the health laws along lines admirably
worked out by f. A. Mott Smith, when president
Of the board of health, has become a hospital in
distinction to the semi penal institution it once
was Here leper patients guaranteed at least
six months medical treatment before being sent to
MOlOKdl mere nave Deen instances, too many
to permit of them being classed as exceptional
cases, where demonstrated lepers have been ap-
parenty cured at this station, both by Doctor
Wayson and by Doctor Holman. Great hopes
that has been found for the heretofore baf
fling disease have been entertained by many But
both Doctor WaysOn and Doctor HOLMAN have
met with obstacles in their work based wholly
upon ignorance. The former was practically fore
ed to stop his apparently successful treatment The
latter has recently resigned and, although he has
never so directly stated it is believed that his
resignation in the midst of apparently successful
work is due principally to the fact that he was
compelled in many things to rely upon the assist
ance Of under officials stepped in ignorance Of all
things medical and without regard for the we'll
being of the patients in the hospital or for the
health of the community at large.
If one-tenth of the things that are reported about
both Kalihi and Kaaupapa be true. the greatest
service any person or any newspaper can do for
Hawaii today is to turn on the searchlight There
has been too much tolerated under the veil of
