POI HAWAIIAN NATIONAL DISH
ls Being introduced Into the United
States and Is Said to Be Meet
ind With Favor.

Hawaii is making fOOd-saving con-
hibutiOn in the shape of poi. its na-
tiOnal dish made from the bulb of the
taro plant. Until 20 years ago pol was
made under primitive conditions. the
bulbs being peeled. boiled and pound
ed in a wooden trencher until semi
liquid paste was formed. But today
modern sanitary machinery is used to
manufacture the product, under su-
perviSiOn Of health authorities in the
island, and five factories at HilO now
turn out several tons daily.
This new form of poi is being sent
TO the United States, reaching mar
kets as far away as New York city,
and n demand which began with Ha-
waiians who had come to the United
States is generally being extended to
Americans who have learned to like
the dish
Poi Is frequently used in Hawaiian
hospitals in the diet of patients whose
StOmaChs are too weak to digest other
food. and the war interest in Substi-
tute foods is expected to lead to it's
wider Introduction elsewhere.

PRISONERS FEAR TORTURE
Runs Are Told That Americans
Would Subject Them To Cruelty
" Captured.

With the American Army in France
The excellence Of the American fire
was largely responsible for the capture
by American marines of about 400
prisoners in the lighting which result
ed in the clearing out of the Belleau
Wood, north of Chateau-Thierry. The
Germans, who had been told to avoid
capture because the Americans would
torture them, started to run after the
American machine gunners had made
the wood untenable, but the artillery
barage was so perfect that the Ger
mans were cut OF from escape. Among
the prisoners are six officers, major.
a captain and four heutenants. All
were poorly clad and some had pieces
of bread tied to their uniforms with
string. The prisoners said they were

Columbus sailed When the latter's
monopoly was revoked, VesDucei Un-
dertOOk several voyages of exploration
on his own account. during which he
claimed in many letters to have been
the first to reach the mainland OF the
new continent. giving the date as June,
16. 1897.
On April ., 1907, the learned heads
of the University of st. Die. in LOr-
raine, decided. incorrectly, that he was
entitled to the honor of discovery, Co
Iumbus having only reached the
islands of the West Indies. and that
the western hemisphere should bear
his name. The name America was,
therefore, first used in the book Cos

raphy at the university.
