Last Criminal Case
Decidedly Unusual One

The last criminal case tried before
the Circuit Court was that of the Ter.
ritory VS.. Ono Kasuki The action
being one in which the defendant
was charged with failing to support
his wife and infant child The
evidence disclosed the fact that the
wife had left the husband, the de
fCndant in the case, and taken the
baby with her. She stated that her
cause for leaving her husband was
that lie treated her in a cruel manner.
When asked as to specific acts of
cruelty she stated that the defendant
had once hidden the clothes line.
1t was the contention of the attorney
for the defendant that there was no
cause of action, and that under the
circumstances the defendant was not
liable for the support of either his
wife or his infant child. The decision
of the court was that the wife was
not entitled to any support,-bu that
the defendant was liable for the sup
port of the baby on the grounds that
if the father did not support the child
that it was liable to become a public
charge. The judgment being, that
the defendant was guilty of not sup
porting his child. Sentence, however,
was suspended for the period of six
months, and an order was made that
the father pay the mother for the
care of the child and that bond be
entered into that effect.

National Guard
To Go In Training
A Honolulu report says:

A Honolulu report says:
Hawaii's national guard should have
been mobilized before this and placed
in intensive training. Delegate Ku-
hio, who returned from Washington
this morning, was surprised to hear
that nothing had been made public re-
garding the program for Hawaiis
militia
"The national guard was to be given
three months intensive training" de-
clared the delegate, "and | received
telegram while in San Francisco that
the guard would be called out last
week. Last Thursday was the day
set for mobilization. The war depart
ment is considering the calling out
of the Hawaiian, Porto Rican and
Alaskan militias, but they will not be
used for overseas duty. There is no
chance at all that Hawaii's guard will
be taken away. 1t will be used for
home defense"
Delegate Kuhio said that he had
taken the matter up with the war de-
partment and had seen to it that the
guard will be given three months in
tensive training. In telegram from
Washington received by him at San
Francisco the delegate was informed
that mobilization orders were to be
issued last Thursday.

GERMANS COMMENT
ON GEORGE SPEECH
Vorwarts Says People of Al
saee-Lorrain Belong in
German Empire.

BERLIN, Jan. 9.-Vorwarts, the
principal organ of the Socialists in
commenting on the war aims speech
Of Premier Lloyd George declares the
premier masqueraded in carefully Sc
lected disguise. The VorwartS says
the speech was framed in some parts
so as to meet the approval Of German
working nea. The newspaper adds
that the premier's abandonment Of the
attempt to interfere in Germanys in
ternal affairs is gratifying and that his
demands that the states which have
been overrun in the course of the war
be restored to complete independence
will not call forth contradiction.
Referring to Aisace Lorraine the
newspaper says the inhabitants OF
these districts are not foreign or alien
peoples within the German states.
III the natives of the German colony
are to be protected from exploitation
bv European capitalists why not also
those of British colonies it asks.
It would be Understanding IN
good sense OF the British workingmen
If one assumed that these contradic-
tons escape their discernment.
This obviously incomplete synopsis,
which bears marks of having been
censored carefully. is first Indication
to reach the outside world OF the at
titude of the German Socialists toward
MI. Lloyd Georges outlines of war
ans.
Although other German newspapers
Genouncins the premiers attitude have
reached neutral points adjacent to
Germany a dispatch from Amsterdam
yesterday said no copies OF VorwGrts
had been received and apparently the
editions containing comment on the
Premier's statement had not been
nci a,itted to cross the border.
