Germany again is advertising
the imminence Of her offensive on
the western front.
The word this time comes from
Copenhagen in a report that the
high command has invited num-
Der Of neutral correspondents to
witness the offensive.
This news follows quickly on the
interviews given by Field Marshal
Won Hindenbure and General Won
Ludendorff, the general tone Of
which apparently is intended to
lead to the belief that a German
offensive is in prospect.
That Germany should so widely
herald such an attack has aroused
suspicion that she did not mean to
make an attack, and it may mean
that she did intend to excite such
suspicion that the allies might be
caught with their guard lowered.
Raiding activity is not as
marked as during last week but
the artillery on both sides along
the western front is unusually
active.
German troops have been checked
in an attack against position in
the sector Of the North sea by the
BeIsians.
On the British front the artillery
bombardment has been most in

MAY
ASK RECEIVER
FOR HAMA CANE
Attorney Eugene Murphy Talks Of
Taking The Controversy
Up To Washington
SAYS LABORERS ARE PATRIOTIC

Attorney Eugene Murphy went
over to Hama again on Tuesday to try
to get settlement Of the difficulties
there between the contract growers
OF cane and the plantation. He re-
turned Wednesday.
According to Mr.. Murphy, the men
are working their fields as a matter
of pure patriotism. They realize, he
says, that the country needs the
sugar and do not wish or intend to
do anything that might delay its
shipment to the mainland.
He says that the next step will
probably be to apply for receiver
for the cane. Just when such an ap-
plication may be filed, however, will
depend on how long Judge Edings
may remain here. If it develops that
he will be leaving soon, it may be de-
cided to wait until Judge Burr takes
office and then lay the matter before
the latter.
The idea of receiver is to con-
serve the rights of the men while the
questions involved are pending They
have about 10000 tons Of cane in the
fields, part of which is mature and
4 part growing.
Another step that may be taken,
says Mr. Murphy, Is to apply to the
secretary of commerce and labor for
mediator to handle matters until
the present crop is entirely market
ted. In the meanwhile, the differences
now existing may be settled by the
court or otherwise.

The Maui Boy Who
Died On TuSCania
Something About Manuel Ramos, OF
Paia, Who Was Murdered
By The Germans

great deal of interest is being
felt locally in the history of Manuel
Ramos, Maui's soldier boy who is
believed to have gone down with the
steamship Tuscania off the coast of
Ireland last week. He was a Paia
Toy. His father was Manuel Ramos,
who came with his wife, Mary, from
Portugual about 80 years ago to work
for what is now known as the Maui
Agricultural Company, and who, aside
fl ON short period when he was
employed at Waialua plantation on
Oahu, had always been on Maui and
with the employers for whom he first
worked.
The elder Ramos died about 16
years ago, leaving his widow and five
children. Five years ago the widow
married John Martins, of Paia. The
son who went down on the Tuscania
was the third child of Manuel and
Mary Ramos, and was born Septem-
Der 20, 1890. An older sister, Georgi-
ma, married John M. Medeiros, mana
ger of the wholesale liquor house at
Paia. There are two other sisters
Mrs. Manuel V. Correira and Mrs. M.
M. Feiteira; and one brother, Gordon
Ramos, aged 10.
Manuel Ramos had been away from
home about five years, during the
whole of which time he was in Cali
fornia, engaged a part of the while

Poi Also Takes To
Near-Sky Attitudes

Conservation on wheat flour has
had the effect Of so greatly increas-
ing the use Of poi that the price for
that Hawaiian staple has gone up to
a record height. Taro, which has sold
around rs cents a bag for years, is
now $2.25 bag, and reports are that
1t may go higher.
1t is claimed that many laborers
who formerly used poi in small guam
titles only have lately, on account OF
the high price of and the campaign
to save flour, turned to the native
specially, with the result that taro
growers have been swamped by the
demand.
In the past few days, in Wailuku,
concern has started to the question of
increasing the acreage in taro in or
der to meet the situation.
