AMERICA T0BEB|C
FACTOR IN WAR
New zeaIander Greatly Impress
ed BY Business Preparations
Under Way On Mainland

The United States is carrying for,
ward its preparations for war in Q
businesslike manner and America soon
is to be big factor in the fighting
forces overseas, is the view expressed
by A. E. Kernot Of Wellington, N. e.,
who is visitor here at the Mesnh AZ
ter trip to California. As managing
director he is head Of Messrs. A. e.
Kernot, Ltd, Of wellington, one of the
biggest importing concerns in New
Zealand. A
Mr.. Kernot gave his impressions of
Camp Kearney, one Of the big mobiliza-
tion camps in California where about
$4,000 drafted men are now being train
ed for service I'M France. He spoke in
terms of the highest praise for the ef-
ficiency displayed in every detail Of the
military city which has sprung up near
San Diego within the past few months.
Look Like Soldiers
"The men are fit and fine looking, y
he declared. He was reminded that
they are now only raw recruits Just
taken from civil life.
"That may be-" he answered, "but
they look like soldiers, and they carry
themselves like soldiers" .#,
In connection with the work going
forward ut the camp he spoke Of the
completeness of all its details. ~
1.-THE drainage system established
there is wonderful" he said. There
are 10000 horses in the camp as wen
as the great body of men and every
sanitary need Is most adequately cared
for" ~
"Ameriea is to play a great part
in the fighting in the air." he added
and he told of the signs about the avia.
ton camp at San Diego. "
Training Pliers ~
1.-THE air is constantly full of ma
Chimes" he said, "and it is plain to
be seen that the work of training Amer
lean fliers is going forward at q great
pace"
Illustrating the temper of the people
as II appeared to him he spoke of o
military parade he had witnessed in
San Francisco. As the marchers swung
by he said there was an absence Of
cheering. EM
p" There was a distinctly somber note
in the behavior of the street thronqs, -
he said. at indicated that the people
there are awakening to the real serious.
ness of the great struggle and are be-
ginning to appreciate the tremendous
effect IL is going to have"
Mr.. Kernot stated that it was his
first visitto the United States and that
while he did not leave California, what
he saw thFrF convinced him that Amer
lea is going into the war with all Of
its great resources enlisted in the ipur-
pose to crush the Prussian.

DEMAND FOR LOCAL
SHARES INCREASES
Investors Are Turning Attention
To Companies They Know
instead Of To Mainland

Local securities are in growing de-
mand and evidence Of this was not
lacking At the session exchange or af.
forwards. Bids.were more in, evidence
than for some time past but there was
little stock offered and what was of
fered was generally 4 shade above the
offers which appeared to be rising to
meet the demand of the few holders
who we're ready to release IL they could
get their prices. Especially was this
demand evidenced by Oahu and by
ol9a but q number of other sugars were
being sought. ss.s T .,5E,J.
( Explanation Of the demand for local
securities which brokers say Is already
in sight Is found in the taking over
by the government of the railroads and
-the uncertainty Of the compensation
which will be paid to the companies. II
lis proposed, press dispatches have said,
ito compensate the railroad companies
on a basis of pre.war earnings. II this
be done 1t would mean a slieing Of diyi-
dends in many instances, It is claimed.
Honolulu Investors know their home
securities as they do not know main,
land securities, They have watched
the progress and growth Of the com
panies and they know, personally in
many instances, the managers and d.
rectors. There is also NO particular
danger of these companies being taken
over by the government ms were the
railroads, as the coal industry may be,
and as may follow with still other
mainland Industries. --.
. II is true that smaller dividends
than those paid last year must be ex.
pected from the local companies but
this is also true of mainland securities
for all alike are paying the increased
war taxes. Besides this, there have
been considerable declines in the prices
of Hawaiian securities over those of,
a year ago and they may now be con-
sidered rs on price basis for the new
war conditions under which they are
operating. .f@F%E

Imps," which vii appear at the Palace tonight, is found. Part of the criticism is printed below.
 Tt has been long time since a motion picture audience has been treated to such 8 vast amount of farcial, yet wholesome, humor in any one production as will undoubt- edly be found upon witnessing 1.-Two Little Imps.' While kid pictures and childish pranks have been used many times before, the majority of these depended on the cuteness of the stars, but in this production it develops something a little differ ent.
 First of all, there is a story that contains plenty of gripping moments, strong savoring of heart interest and a well-main- tained suspense that is carried through until the final reel. Then, again, the little stars act particu- larly natural There is no attempt to be dramatic, but they just act like kids, and it is in this very naturalness that all the comedy and sympathetic appeal can be found. There will be something radically wrong with any picture patron who cannot find something in the entire five reels that will bring forth spontaneous merriment.
 When Jane wanders downstairs in her combinations and seeks out Uncle Billy in the dining room, the sneaking of plate of ice cream in to bed, their climb up to the root of a seven-story building requiring i the aid of the fire department tc 1 get them down, and last, but not least, the most humorous of all their imitation of the Hula-Hula dancer, both of them dressed i'll very scanty attire, will assure any pie ture audience of a sure cure for tho blues.
 Little Jane and Katherine Leo have never been seen in produc- tion wherein they attracted so muci notice and attention as they havt done in Two Little Imps." Their work is simple and natural and ar audience is carried from the two greatest emotional extremes. Firs their sympathy is aroused only tt be changed in a minutes notice t an outburst of laughter. Theil work is perfect in every detail, ant aided by clever direction make thi est The rest of the cast are com mendable.
