his closest friends and advisers in
Hawaii that he desired n prohibition
measure without any plebiscite provi-
sos, either before the bill went into ef-
feet or after the war.

iority of the prohibition advocates in
Hawaii urged Kuhio to support the
Shafroth Bill, pointing ont its obvious
advantages over previous bills intro

AMERICA WILL MAKE HUGE SIEGE GUNS FOR
USE ON FRONTS WHEN We CROSS THE RHINE

WASHINGTON, June 22.TThe lar.
gest field artillery program in mill
tary history Is provided In the neg
fortifcations bill reported to the
house.
The program indicates that military
experts believe the days OF trench

mountain. field and siege cannon and
ammunition. The coast and Panama
defenses are subordinated. The
backbone OF the artillery program is
the 75 milimeter guns and howitzers.
The government will extensively
aid plants throughout the epuntry to
put these types OF guns and ammuni-
ton into quantity production by tho
first OF next year or sooner. Until
then Pershing win continue to buy
guns and ammunition from France.
After the first OF the year the AM

French production, although the
French have ample supplies. Next to
the field artillery, the production OF
from ten to fifteen inch guns stand

Another forty million is provided
for 1000 by-products coke ovens to
