HONOLULU SLOGAN
IS EAT BANANAS
PLAN is TO GET RID OF SURPLUS
AND CONSERVE SHIPPING
FOOD

! HONOLULU.-"Eat bananas" is the
slogan that is plastered all over Hon
olulu today. Dead walls, street Cal
tenders and street car windows, the
windows of stores, sign boards about
the city-everywhere that a poster will
stick, blazens the injunction Eat Ba-
nanas."
The object of the so-called banana
campaign is two-fold-to get rid of the
huge surplus of the fruit and reduce
the consumption of other foods that
have to be imported or that may go
toward the feeding of the army in
France
Since the government took over most
of the big passenger and freight YES
sells that formerly piled between Hon
olulu and the mainland, shipping ia
cilities for the bananas raised in Ha-
waii have been reduced to practically
nothing. Thousands of lunches of
the fruit are going to waste it being
impossible to move them.
To remedy as far as possible this
condition, a committee of prominent
business men of Honolulu was formed
last week, whose object was to in
crease the eating of bananas by the
local population. They became ac-
tive at once and enlisted as their aids
the Boy Scouts of the city. Since then
the scouts have canvassed the city,
taking orders for punches of bananas
from housewives and business men.
of punches were sold in
this manner.
Yesterday was set aside as banana
lay" and practically every business
house in the city had big bunch of
bananas hanging in it's doorway, from
which those who would, might pluck
and eat
So long as there were shipping fa-
,ilities, all the better fruit was sent
@ the coast, the local people having
% content themselves with the
smaller and less snowy bananas.

SIX THOUSAND WANTED
FOR FORESTRY SERVICE
Federal Government Wishes to Organ

WASHINGTON.-S thousand ad-
ditiona1 men are wanted at once to
bring the twentieth engineers (forest)
regiment up to full strength, accord
ing to officials of the forest service
who have been requested by the war
department to aid in securing the nee
essary recruits. This is the second
forest regiment formed by the war de-
partment and will be the biggest in the
world.
The first forest regiment has been in
France for several months, busy in
cutting and getting out of the French
forests timber, lumber, and other ma
terial for the army Some battalions
of the twentieth have also gone across,
and others will follow as their equip
ment and preliminary training are
completed. Men who enter this unit
are therefore assured, the officials say,
of early service abroad.
Men can join the regiment by enlist
ment if not of draft age and if within
the age limits, which are from 18 to
40. Registrants under the selective
draft law who have not been notified
to hold themselves in readiness to re-

EARLY CRASH
ON FIRING LINE
IS UNDER WAY
AMERICANS SHOW THE STUFF
THEY'RE MADE OF in RECENT
SKIRMISHES
BIG BATTLES JUST AHEAD
FRENCH, BRITISH AND AMERI-
CANS TAKE TURNS IN HITTING
GERMAN LINE
(By The Associated Press)

From the North sea to the Swiss
frontier the military activity daily
seems to be growing in intensity, and
it may be fair to assume that in the
not distant future some Of the big
battles that have been forecast will
break. The American, British and
French armies have been taking
whacks at the German line, either by
fairly strong patrol attacks or by
bOmbardments, while, in turn, the
Teutons have been giving considera-
BILE attention on various sectors to
their enemies.
From the American viewpoint an
other successful maneuver by the
Americans on their sector of the front
is of the greatest interest. AS on last
Saturday, the Americans again have
nipped in the bud an impending sur
prise attack on their trenches and
taught the Germans a salutary lesson
with their artillery. In the German
trenches the Teutons were awaiting
the word to go over the top for an at
tack, when the Americans opened
heavy fire on the positions.
Heavy casualties are believed to
have been inflicted on the Teutons
and considerable damage was done
by the 75's on the German trenches
due to the accuracy of aim of the
American gunners
The Germans have not yet been able
to re-occupy the trenches and dug
outs battered by the American fire
Saturday evening and have been
forced to build another line of
trenches at that particular point.

BAKER TURNS
ON THE LIGHT
FOR SENATORS
WAR SECRETARY UNDER CROSS
EXAMINATION GIVES ADDI-
TIONAL FACTS
STICKS TO HIS STORY
WILL LAY BARE THE WORK OF
HIS DEPARTMENT FOR LAW
MAKERS IN CONFIDENCE

WASHINGTON-Th cross examin-
alton of Secretary of War Baker by the
military affairs committee of the SEN
nate was begun this morning. Sen
ator Weeks of Massachusetts, Repub1i-
can, began by asking Secretary Baker
about the number of troops to be sent
abroad this year. Secretary Baker
said that more troops had been sent
planned, both non-combatant and
| fighting forces.
Senator Weeks agreed that it would
be improper to disclose the number of
American troops now in France.
Give President Mere Power
Secretary Baker gave it as his op-
inion that. it would be desirable to
have new legislation to give the pres
ident general powers to transfer and
coordinate the functions of the var
ious departments as new conditions
arise.
The secretary said he was unde-
termined whether the troops would
be kept in southern camps next sum-
mer If the summer weather is as
extreme as the winter weather has
been some of the troops would have
to be moved he said.
Light Tonnage Lcsses
American tonnage losses have been
exceedingly light" Secretary Baker
said. "The service the navy rendered
has been unexampled"
There is possibility that the pur-
chasing power of the war department
may be placed largely in the hands of
Edward R. Steettinius, the surveyor
retary Baker who said that Steetinius
is to be relied upon to do this thing.
Secretary Baker said that in his
previous statement that 100000 addi-
tional men are to be sent to France
this year he did not depend wholly
on American shipping in his calcula-
tions. Transportation of fighting
troops is temporarily reduced by the
necessity of sending larger engineer
ing forces.
The secretary promises to supply de-
tailed statistics regarding the avail
able ships He said the shipping
BOARD and the war department is in
constant contact studying the shipping
situation.
Will Give Inside Facts
In replying to Senator Weeks, Sec
'etary Baker said he did not know
whether it was true that the war de-
,artment had Isl, 900 tons in shipping
for transportating troops
february /, but he thought that was
N under estimate. He said:
"By January 1 we had transported
0 France more troops than our
chedule called for" This, he said,
ncluded combatant and non-combat-
mt forces and that the military force
an about 40 per cent combatants. He
