campaign on such an instrucent Is
almost indispensable, it was stated

LIST OF RESTRICTED ARTICLES

That the Japanese residents of
these islands are going to severely
feel the effects of recent order pro-
hibiting the importation into the Unit
ed States of various articles after
April Is, is the belief of those who
have looked over the list of restrict
ed imports lately published by the
War Trade Board. Inasmuch as To-
cal Japanese have been in the habit
of depending to a considerable ex-
tent upon food, clothing, and other
articles imported from Japan, the
shutting off of many of these products
by the new order is likely to prove
The object of the restriction is of
course a measure of conservation
largely, and is made up of articles
which the mainland can most easily
do without or obtain suitable substi-

Islands. The list is the first issued
and it is intimated there may be more
coming.

Modified Race Meet
For Fourth OF July
Association Approves Plan For Day
OF SpOrt-Prizes To Be Liberty
Bonds Unframed Horses Only,
No Imported Feeds

The Fourth of July race meeting
which has been a feature on Maui for
more than 80 years, will not be sus-
pended this year as had been talked
for some time past. This was form
ally decided at a meeting of the direc-
tors of the Maui County Fair G. Rae
ing Association held yesterday after
noon.
But the celebration this year will
be considerably modified in that it
will consist entirely of amateur events
and no specially trained horse will be
eligible for entry. The Kahului track
stables will be locked up and no horse
will be permitted to be conditioned
there. Aside from the quantity of
barley and alfalfa meal contained in
mixed feeds commonly used in the is
lands, no imported feeds must be fed
The aim is to save entirely the special
imported feed products with which
horses are usually put in trim for
racing. Animals not fed according
ly will be barred

Rain In Ten Days-Deluge Tues

Almost tx inches of rain fell at
Haiku within IL hours last Tuesday
night, according to the records of the
Haiku experiment station. Almost
equally heavy was the rainfall at 9th
er points in eastern and central Maui
during the same time. Considerable
damage resulted at various points
from earth slides and from washing
to farm crops.
The Kahului Railroad line was put
out of commission all day Wednes-
day and Thursday by big cave-in OF
a deep cut Just west of Pauwela sta
ton. Many tons of earth had to be
removed before trains could pass
through. A number of smaller slides
occurred at various points between
Paia and Pauwela but these were
quickly cleared up.
Roads Suffer Damage
A number of heavy slides have oc-
Cured on the new macadam ROAD
through the homesteads east OF Hal
ku recently, and these caused the
storm of Tuesday night to do some
damage to the macadam in various
places. The belt road near Pauwela
WIS also blocked by big land slide.
All of the roads east of Paia and
in the Makawao section, except the
small amount of macadamed tho

passable during the past week on ac-

Booze Interests To
Fight Dry Ruling?

That the liquor men of Maui
are preparing to pool interests
and to contest in the courts the
decision of the local liquor
board to refuse to grant any
licenses after the first of July,
is a rumor that is current in
Wailullu. The report goes
further and declares that in
case the booze men win out and
compel the board to recind its
ruling that action for damages
against the commissioners as in
dividuals will be instituted.
Whether or not there is any
foundation for the rumor cannot
be learned. The alleged threat
of suing the members of the
board for damages, however,
has aroused considerable indig-
nant comment.

Announcement

On and after Wednesday, February 18th, the
price of The Evening Star in Washington and sub
urbs will be cents per copy, at which price ne Star
has been sold for some time past at more distant
points.
Subscribers served by regular carriers will con-
time at the present rate until March T. after which
date the rate will be 90 cents per month for the Daily
and Sunday Star 40 cents per month for the Daily
only .-..
The Star takes this step reluctantly and only be-
cause conditions make it necessary.
The great increase in cost of production has
forced the same change in the newspapers of prac-
tcav all cities of considerable size throughout the
country, and the few remaining 1-cent papers will,
like The Star doubtless find increase in price in
evtable.
The cost of paper and ink used in the production
of The Star alone increased more than $18O,OOOOO
in 1o7 over 1916 while labor and all other costs also
advanced heavily.
Under the new price newsdealers and newsboys
will make an increased profit of 500 on every copy
period of readjustmen they will be given the right
to return" unsold copies.
The subscription price for The Evening and
Sunday Star by mail has been for some time past 20
cents per month, or for The Evening Star only so
cents per month. The mail rate for The Sunday
Star alone is ST. 40 year, postage prepaid. These
rates remain unchanged. u..

German Newspapers =
Gloat on Sinking
of Liner TuScania

AMSTERDAM. February s.-German
newspapers are gloating over "the
psychological effect" which they expect
the sinking of the Tuscania must pro.
duce in America.
The Koelnische Volks Zeitung saws
the event must unfailingly dampen the
spirits of Americans, and proceeds:
"Sundry American vessels, some with
munitions and perhaps a small nun.
ber of soldiers. have been sunk before.
but so far as We know this is the first
case of a big transport with a consid-
erabIe number of troops aboard fall
ing victim to our U-boats.
:.Maybe large-sized transports have
never or rarely so far crossed, for the
American forces in France are not yet
very large.
"As such vessels must be conveyed
with great care, our U-boat achieve
,ment is all the more remarkable and
gratifying"
The Berlin Afittag am Zeitung makes
n similar comment and rejofces that so
much war material was lost, and that
the rescued soldiers will not be i'm.
mediately available for service.

Food in Homes During
World Conflict.
NOTABLEs JOIN MOVEMENT

Washington society women are plan
ming to- put themselves and their fami-
lies on a strict war died by adopting
the Hoover voluntary ration. under an
honor pledge that they will adhere to
1t faithfully. Wives of cabinet men,
bers and of United States senators and
me,nhers II the House are taking a
prominent part in the movement.
A preliminary meeting to discuss the
program was held last week with Clar-
ence R. Wilson. food administrator for
the District Of Columbia. Within a
few days a larger general meeting is
to be called. which probably will be
held at Rauscher's.
Organizations of women not identified
with the original movement have in
dicated a readiness to take it up. The
Federation of Women's Clubs is under
stood to be anxious to undertake a
city-wide campaign to obtain sigma
lures to the honor pledge.

Explains Situation.

the decision to withdraw frop the
service of the District" said Mr.. Whit
taker last night.
TT is evident, however, under pres
ent war conditions and with the pres
ent small number of people we have in
the workhouse, due to short-term and
fixed sentences. the prohibition law and
the high wages being paid for labor
outside. that the activities of the
workhouse and reformatory in a con-
struction way necessarily will be cur
tailed, SO that 1t will be impossible
many important projects we have had
in mind. I have been discouraged, too,
by the fact that we have been unable
to get an indeterminate sentence and
work with the inmates of the two in
stitutions. thereby benefiting them as
we'll as society. Consequently, l feel
/ cannot afford to continue in the work
when l have been offered a business
opportunity that will be more remun-
erative and at the same time will en-
able me to continue the active life l
have been leading.
81 regret very much to leave a field
that have been in for almost twenty-flye
years, especially in view OF the fact that
we have endeavored to develop for the
National Capital an institution that would
attract the attention Of the world as
standing for the betterment OF humanity
to useful citizenship many individuals
who have been neglected by society.
Methods of Discipline.
'If an unfortunate is to be reformed
and returned to society as an asset rather
than a liability. he must be handled in an
institution in a normal way and not un-

Only One Answer to Kaiser.

There can be but one answer for the
free and democratic nations united in
the struggle against the comraon
enemy. 1t is to continue to put forth
all their powers and to employ all their
resources to resist this attempt at mill
tary despotism and finally to bring
about a Just and lasting peace. Such
a peace alone will give security against
wantun aggression and the violations
Of treaties. and will insure liberty and
justice for all nations.
Let me impress upon you that when
left England the determination to
carry the war through to the end was
as f1xed as ever. The British people
are ready to face the critical months
before us, perhaps the most critical OF
the war. with grim tenacity. They are
prepared to endure whatever suffering
or privation or sacrifice may be nee
essary to obtain the only possible con-
clusion of this war. That the American n
people are equally prepared to make
every effort to bring about this result
is the surest guarantee that the cause
is just and the aim is righteous"
