SOLUTION FOR
 HAWAuAKS IS
 FINALLY MADE

HONOLULU, March 3--A plan to make native Hawaiians self-sustain- ing and economically independent of men of other nationalities was an. nounced today by Mayor Joseph j.. Fern of Honolulu, who is himself an Hawaiian.
 Mayor Ferns plan includes the formation of an Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce, the business of which it shall be to look after the financial and economic interests of |. na- tives.
 A return to the old pursuits in the fishing and agricultural districts, which Hawaiians have relinquished almost entirely to other races, is the goal the mayor is seeking, and he says he has the support of many other prominent IIawaiians.
 "My people have been asleep" said the mayor today, "and it takes some orcdicament like the present food ituation to bring them to a realizia. ton of their condition We have awakened at last to the fact that we are dependent upon the Japanese and Chinese organizations for our daily ustenance and this situation has gone to the point of hunger. which was in many cases required to quick

AUTO TRACTOR
 ON NENANAR RUN

A new method of transportation is to be tried out on the trail be. tween Fairbanks and Nenana in the form of Ford caterpillar. For some time past the caterpillar idea has been thought of by Bob Sheldon and Frank Coombs as a good method by which the drifts may be overcome and good time made. and the recent production is the result.
 The front wheels of the new con- trivance are mounted on runners, while the traction part runs on an endless belt similar to the tractors of a caterpillar. While it is not completed or ready for public demon stration, the makers say that they will make the run to Nenana Sunday morning and have full load Of pas. sengers. They expect to make the round trip in one e-day.

Parmelee came to the interior some time last spring in the inter- ests of the Guggenheims and has been since his arrival in the lower river country. He was for a time in the Marshall City diggings and later went to Ruby. where he re- mained until recently. The trip up was made with dog team. and it took him ten days of the hardest kind of travelling to negotiate the trail from that place to Fairbanks. After a short stay in Fairbanks he will go to the Outside to render his report. Mrs. Parmelee accompanies him.

 A house was burning. All of the neighbors. except one, were trying to save the building. He sat on the fence. Someone suggested that he should help.
 They don't need me-" he replied "The others are so blamed energetic and efficient that probably the fire will be put out without me turning la hand"
 A ship was sinking. The captain ordered all hands to the pumps Keep the pumps going and I will land you safely" was the captains assurance.
 All the sailors except one sprang to the pumps. This one sat on coil of rope and smoked his pipe. Do you want to drown?" asked a ship mate.
 q won't drown" was the cool re- ply. Mot while you boys are doing my share of the work I know you've got to keep the pumps going whether I help or not"
 Once great republic. in real need of the loyal assistance of every citi, zen. called for subscriptions to a bond issue of enormous dimensions.

{ ] GSociafpl RrESSi

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 22.- Reports received here today from London indicate that a number of Bulgarian troops are aiding the Ger mans in their offensive on the west ern front. The London information is probably accurate.
 The state department was non-com. municative about the matter, but 1t was declared by several officials that if this information is true, the Unit ed States will be forced to declare state of war to be in existence between itself and Bulgaria. The Bulgarian minister has no knowledge of the presence of forces from his country in the west.

RESEARCH WORK OF VOLCANOES
 IN HAWAIIANS

HONOLULU. March 3.-Volcano research, virtually the youngest branch of the sciences has already saved many thousands of lives, ac- cording to a recent address by Prof T. A. Jagger. volcanologist of the Kilauea Volcano Observatory
 The main object of volcano re, search. said Professor Jagger. is to enable observers to predict volcano eruptions and earthquakes. Al though there Is still much to learn, material progress has been made along this line. largely through ex, perimental work at the kilauea ob. servatory, which is situated on thr brink of Halemaumau pit.
 Has anyone yet been saved?" the volcanologist was asked Most Ger. tainly yes"
 At the West Indies and Fagoshil.a. Japan, and right ir Guatemala City. where destruction of the same h.t q sNulS atoo i''' w improvements; where history has rlo- noted earthquake education; wlfcrC fresh disasters in 1902 kept fearfully alive the expectation; and now we learn that only few hundred we" of population of 90.000.
 "So at KaGoshima, Japan: when Sakurajima erupted and the earth quake came. people moved and re turned, and not more than fifty peo- pie were killed; contrast this with the Messina straits in 1908 with 200, ,00O killed.
 "The lessons of St. Pierre, Mont Pelee with it's rush of 'cauliflower' clouds, its dome of lava and lava tower. all this mechanism marking danger; the discovery of moving earthquake rifts as at Nagoya, Japan; the statistics of recurrence, of time, of place, of distribution, topography and tidal control; the relationship be- tween volcanoes and earthquakes; the marshalling of these facts ac- cording to mathematics of chance, the making of continuous measure. ments of changing features as at Kilauea observatory-the recognition of all this is not geology but new science of economy. earth law-thcse lessons of natural disaster have created a new era in the study of the inner earth"
 Professor Jagger in the course of his address said that among other things learned by the observers at Kilauea is that lava Is not liquid as was previously supposed, but in re- ality a hard, red hot body. The seeming liquid Is form of burning gases and of glass melted by them. This oxidation heat is mostly near the surface and the deep heat is perhaps only moderate.
 The theory that volcanoes act as safety vents," making improbable earthquakes, was also denied by Professor Jagger, who said that on the contrary earthquakes are more to be expected in the vicinity of volcanoes than anywhere else.

demands on them have passed. They must all realize now that they must rise up and compete with other races who have come to their shores or they must eventually disappear as a race. It Is time we all combined our efforts to the problem of becoming self-sustaining, and I think our effort in our new organiza. tion will accomplish that"
 It is the plan of the Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce to extend its activities until every market product. home raised or imported. Is handled and distributed under a perfectly working plan of organization.

LOCHRY WRITES
 INTERESTINGLY
 FROM OVERSEAS

Writing from the headquarters of the American Expeditionary Forces Somewhere in France" Robert Loghry, formerly with the signal corps in Fairbanks, mentions a few things that will be of interest to those who know him. The letter in part is as follows:
 February 8, 1918. My dear -:
 Received your very, very welcome letter of November fifth about a week ago and was more than pleased to hear from you and Mrs. M. Received the package of papers about the same time and they were sure interesting Read all of them and it took me back to the good old days among the real people, l returned from trip last night and your package containing the Xmas present was on my desk. Can not thank you and Mrs. M too much for the very kind remembrance. which I shall never forget. The cigarettes are far beyond anything we can buy over here (Sweet Capo- rals are the typical French smoke. just imagine); the gum is another luxury here, but the fruit cake has everything skinned in France. These people don't know what cake is con- pared with the kind I unwrapped from Fairbanks.
 We'll. -, have seen nearly ev- cry phase of the game now. Have covered nearly the entire French western front and certain sections of it am as familiar with as ever was with the streets of Fairbanks Have been initiated to shell fire sev- eral times and fully understand the meaning of the chatter of the ma chine guns. It's SOME game, let noe tell you, too, -. A person who has not been up against it can not realize the magnitude of the job We are not allowed by censorship rules to say much, so have to be sort of careful. My work takes mo to the Verdun front quite often. and there's where big things are doing every day. On clear day the ali, is filled with observation balloon and aeroplanes. It is very common to see balloon or aeroplane brought down. With a balloon the occupants have little show for their white alley as they have parachutes they use when the balloon is hit, but there is little chance for the occu- pants of an aeroplane.
 q have the same job that was put on when first came over and will undoubtedly hold it down.

SUFFERING BY
 INDUCTION IS NOW PREVENTED

LOS ANGELES, March 3.-Suffer- ings in homes, due to the induction of men in the families into the mili. tary service, has been prevented. in many instances, by check system handled through the schools. accord ing to a report on war work in the schools just issued.
 The report states that in order to get list of homes where suffering or hardship might have followed the draft, teachers were asked to learn from the pupils in each room whether any member of their families had joined the service. If they had rela- lives in the service, the teacher filled out simple card. adding checks which indicated whether. from her acquaintance with the pu- pill and his circumstances. any pos sibility of hardship existed.
 The cards that indicated such a possibility were turned over to the relief division of the Red Cross, and the cases investigated, many families being thus saved from real hardship and suffering.
 The plan. 1t was said by the report. had the advantage that the pupils did not know of its operation, and as the queries were made quietly. no one was wounded by any suspicion of misplaced charity, while others who needed help were found. A complete survey of the city was made. 1t wal reported, without any expense and within a few days of it's initiation.

There will be some who laugh at do not think 1t possible that sucl, things could be done by human be- ings. And again there will be some who know that nearly everything spoken of above has actually oc- cured, not in one isolated instc ocn but time and time again in Ger many's invasion of outraged Belgium We also know that there is not much likelihood of such scenes occurring in our own town. But are we not shirking our duty when we allow, in our very midst, people to openly sympathise with the monster that Is practicing just such outrages in ev- every section in which he has been up in our strength and wipe out the freedom of those who oppose our government in the war against such practices.
 Let us show no leniency whatever when we are called upon to punish the German sympathisers in this community and let us spare no eff fort to do all within our power to hunt them down and give them the punishment the law provides. Let us also pray that our government will see fit to enact laws that will enable us to really punish them and not merely lock them up for eighteen months or two years and then set them free. A jail sentence Is entirely too mild for such animals.
