Members Of the party described con

that brigandry and robbery is the

alone the anza'government is able
to maintain order and prevent lawless

engaged in business in Mexico City,
prOphesy that eventually Villa is Ger

that the peasants of Mexico have that
he is on their side.
"In one trip to Vera Cruz from

The Russians say that it is extreme,

a white man, to travel outside Of Mex

WISER COMES TO
7. defense OF men
Claims Criticism Was Based Only
on Hearsay Evidence and
Says Wheat Is Saved

Brig. Gen. John P. Wiser, U. s. Al,
commanding the United, States Army
ferees stationed in Hawaii, has issued
the following statement for publication
concerning the department q position
with reference to criticisms which have
been concerning the use of -four and
substitutes in the army originally
emenatiug from Circuit Judge @. W.
ashford;
1.-THE department commander appre
ciates fully the points brought out IN
the editorial of the Commercial Ad
>crtiser today, and agrees in general
with the statements made, but wishes
to call attention to the fact that the
criticism was not a personal one OF
the department commander, but an en-
tirely erroneous statement regard Z
the conduct and spirit Of the troops Of
my command, and IT is my duty to pro
tect my officers and men from any
false representations to the cOmmu
nty. Ny patience and forbearance un
der Just criticism should be well known
in, this community.
"'Ihe criticism referred to in the ed
;torial was apparently based not on
definite facts, but on mere unverifie'
reports, and yet was published by thu
new spaper and had the effect Of Civ
ing the community an entirely false
impression regarding the army's atti
tube.
orders Are Quoted
"As early as last October tbefore
any orders were received on the sub
ject and anticipating the necessity for
food conservation orders were issued
~ tbs department commander (at the
suggestion of his staff officer, Col
onel Schofeld) to begin saving on -four
NJ the bakeries and to exercise economy
in the company messes.
1.-THE department commander takes
Il very deep Interest in the coming
frir. but nasmuch as he has directed
hiS men to take an active part in order
TO help make, it as great a success ~
possible, he feels that il is only due
TO them to protect them against any
unwarranted abuse by any member OF
the community we are trying to assist
and encourage in their good work, and
there seemed to be no other way OF
bringing the matter definitely before
the people interested than to an
nounce our intention to withdraw "ul
voluntary support.
Speak Well Of Army
Every newspaper in the States, Sc
far as our information goes, takes Il
pleasure and pride in saying ME,
thin?s about the army these crueia
Iays of war, in, order to give the arm!
feeling of confidence and to show
our soldiers, who are to do the rea
work in this great war, that the coun
try is with them in spirit and sym
pathy and has faith in their ultimate
success. -,
q" Any other spirit displayed by the
new spapers, who are undoubtedly
great factor, in moIding public opinion
is unpatriotic and disconraging to tn,
army, and therefore impairs the ct
! Gcitnry now 80 seriously required.'
The Hawaiian gazette., 1918-04-02

As in all new businesses, difIirul
It's have arisen; for instance, several
days elapsed without ripe bananas be.
ing shipped to market and consequently
no bread was baked. This was due to
the fact that boxes had not been re-.
turned 10 the fields and consequently
fruit ripcned for bread could not BE-
shipped and was wasted.
W. "This has been accomplished and
Mr. Campbell has offered TO supply the
bakers with regular supply at one and
one half cents per pound.
In this connection IL is but fair to
MIR. Campbell for. the committee to
state that he is the only producer or
shipper of bananas who would supply
ripe bananas. Mr.. Marshall, represent
ing various Chinese growers, reported
that they would prefer to let the ripe
bananas rot than TO ship them for sale
at one cent per pound.'
The statement also says Mr.. Camp
bell bore all the expense of the - Fat
a Banana Campaign except about ten
dollars This is not the case The
space gwen by The Advertiser in print
az cartoons, in articles on the cam.
paign was worth at least three hundred
of four hundred dollars. The cartoons
were drawn by The Advertiser 3 staff
artist and no charge for his service was
made. The Star Bulletin helped SINH,
'arly and the Boy Scouts must not be
forgotten.
The one cent a pound charge in place
Of selling by the bunch seems to be q
matter of opinion as to whether it adds
TO the market price. Some claim it
loes Perhaps II averages the same.
The market delivers to some parts Of
town, not to ALL For instance if n
person living in Nuuanu Valley wants
o buy bananas he pays O cent a pound
and delivers his own fruit. In sections
# the city where the division s trucks
,ass it will deliver. Where no such
delivery is made the buyer pays al
least the price that prevailed during
he campaign plus the cost of delivery
The arrangement with Mr. Campbell
when he was unable to ship was that
ne should receive ut the rate of Al for
he larger lunches for which he re
elves. when shipped, sixty FIVE cent,
delivered at the pier. The extra thirty
Ave cents was to pay for the handling
md delivery. There was thirty five
puts a bunch allowed for this.
ruit Less Fine
The marketing division SAYS the elias,
# fruit il not now so good as it wa
hen when the finest fruit ever seen in
he market was delivered.
The fact that stands out most clearly
that the shippers tried to doubt
rice. drove the army out of the max
ng of banana bread and then cam,
own a half cent a pound after pub
iritv was given.
1t also stands out that the people pa
riotirally tried to prevent a loss, that
great wheat saving plan was evolved
II banana bread, and that the banana
hippers sought to turn that patriotic
'emand into profit making enterprise
hat is the sale of bananas to the bak
RS and one representative Of shipper
aid he would let the fruit rot rather
han take a cent a pound, would dc
ust that which the banana campaign
vas conducted to avoid.

FOR RIPE
BANANAS PUT down
HALF CENT Pound
Representative Of Some Shippers
( Would Let Rot Rather Than

COMMITTEE RESENTFUL
At PUBLICITY GIVEN
Home Consumption Has Greatly
Increased and Demand For
Bread Was Unexpected

Ripe bananas FOR use or the bakeries
that make banana bread have been
reduced in price from two cents
n pound to cent and half
two cents pound to n cent and a half
q pound following the publication in
The Advertiser of the news of the raise
In prce, or attempted raise in price,
by the shippers, a raise which the army
refused to meet and which loves Bak-
cry. also refused to meet. The army
stiH diseontinues the use Of banana
bread. What effect the come down of
half cent n pound by the shippers
has not yet been determined.
Committee Reseutful
The banana committee of the Nigi
lance Corps and the growers who have
cOOperated with the committee ere
sent" suggestions that the campaign
has resulted in higher prices il is said
in a statement by the committee. In
that same statement 1t admits the at
tempted raise from one to two cents n
pound for ripe bananas and q "eOme
down" of a half cent a pound when
this was exposed.
If the members of the committee will
carry their investigation to the smaller
stores and to the peddlers they will
find that prices that the small consum
ers and the poorer people must pay
have materially increased and the char
acter of the fruit is poorer. II il there
and not from the Territorial marketing
division the smaller consumer buys.
In its statement the committee tells
Of largely increased home demand and
saws.
