KEPT HAWAIIAN FLAG FLYING
Natives smeared Pole With Thick.coat
of Grease When French Frigato
Threatened to Capture Fort.

How the Hawaiian flag was kept fly
Ing at great odds Is the subject of a
story told recently, says the New York
Herald: It relates to an incident in
I1849, when the commander Of the
French frigate Poursinvante threat
ened to capture the old fort. The
French admiral demanded the return
Of about $4,000 which had been paid
to the Hawaiian government by the
French government for an unlawful
seizure Of ten years before.
When the fort and Honolulu were
threatened with gunfire, r. c. Wyl-
lie, a British subject, advised Kane
heme III that the French. could not
sink the earth, and so the French
money was buried in the public square.
Also that while the fort might sue
coed in sinking the French war ves-
sci, it would be best for the safety
of his people not to make armed re-
slstance.
Wyllie then visited the fort, where
he conferred with Colonel Mahuka.
who was in command. He told the
colonel to call all his men in line
and then asked for the best seaman
among them. From out of the lines
stepped q former whaleman who was
ordered to climb the flagpole with a
grease pot and tie the flag securely to
the staff. Then as the whaleman de-
scended the pole he smeared it plen-
tifully with grease.
After this there was an honorable
retreat to a point Of safety, while the
French marines were put ashore to
enforce the demands Of their COM
mander. However, as none of them
could climb the creased pole, the Ha-
waiian flag continued to fly, and, as
the French money was safely buried,
they finally had to depart empty
handed.

WOMAN 5 COMMITTEE. ID REACH THE HOME.

The house to- house canvas to be inaugurated today in Phoenix by the Womans Liberty Loan committee, un- der direction of City Chairman Mrs. L. II. Chelmers is to be most thorough and no woman in the residential sec tions who possesses the price of Li- berty bond can truthfully say, later on, that she did not have an oppor- tunity to invest or that she hesitated to buy because she failed to realize the necessity of such a purchase.
 Six districts will be taken in charge by Mrs. Charles Harris Mrs. Otis E. Young, Mrs. II. II. BraXton, Mrs. R. E. Moore. Mrs. II. Hurley and Mrs. Imo- gen La Chance, respectively. and, With the assistance of the women whom they have selected to serve with them, each private house, apartment, store and rooming house within their allotted area will be visited.
 Armed with Liberty literature, and well versed in talkable facts, this petti- coat brigade will brave even the do- nestle squalls of Blue Monday and bid loiter while they explain the real req sons why each household should pos sess at least one bond.
 Women of the committee have learned that many WOulen rear 10 ln- vest in bonds because they are self supporting and may have to face a sud- den financial crisis when-so they be- lieve-it might be impossible to realize on the bit of paper bearing the govern ment stamp.
 To such the visitors will glacly ex- plain that although the treasury de- partment is asking buyers to hold bonds as long as their means will per init, nothing unreasonable is demanded

 Under the leadership of General Foch the allied military machine is functioning with precise smoothness insuring greatest economy, harmony and efficiency in the use of all the forces now united in stemming the German assaults. The morale of the al- lied troops remains high.
 The German offensive has not spent itself and the situation will continue uncertain for some time to come. How ever. the general strategic and tactical position of the allies is becoming more favorable
 After a period of relative calm, early in the week during which the enemy was busy bringing up his heavy guns and repairing the wastage of battle by replacing tired units by fresh troops, another powerful attack was launched along the segment of the line now held by the French, stretching from the Amiens- Rove road to Grivesnes. The enemy was able to make slight head way. Fierce fighting continues. Allied forces are massed to check the invaders in this area. There has been relatively less ac- tivity north of the Somme, though the Germans have made a number of ser

 Allied aircraft has been particularly active throughout the week not only in maintaining superiority in the air and keeping the skies clear of hostile craft. but more especially in bombing enemy dumps and conveys, trains and rail- heads
 "A number of American transport sections have taken an active part in the battle and the American aviation service is cooperating with the British.
 Our forces engaged have been rela- lively busy. Under the cover of a heavy barrage, the enemy raided one of our outposts in the Woevre area and the increase of artillery activity is noted in this sector.
 Our troop units have taken up a new position in the line and are occu- pying well-prepared entrenchments along the Mouse hills south of Verdun.
 Tn the Italian theater there has been an increasce in hostile activity. Reports continue to be received in dicating that the enemy contemplates launching an offensive thrust. The Austrian armies with the exception of few units operating in the Ukraine or in the western area, are now in the Italian theater.
