Pig For Lane f'I' .-N. ?
An element of humOt, but a part Of
the past, was the appearance Of Robert
W. Shnglc and Walter MRcfarlane,
carrying live pig to the Secretary,
the Porker tied to n pole which was
suspended upon the shoulders Of the
men. This was the gift of Mrs. Rob
crt w. Shingle, and caused much mPrri
mNnt. The Secretary almost shook
hnnds with the pOrker, saying soto
vOce that the pig had become almost
respected beast in these dayA of food
conservation.
Came then tho Daughters and Sons
of Warriors wearing their brilliant re
gala which took the form Of copies
~ the ancient feather capes and robes
of royalty. This organization was
headed by men bearing spears repre-
senting the two warrior princes who
taught KamehRmcha the arts of war,
and followed by ROBBED Hawaiian

ter Macfarlane, regent Of the order,
marched at the head Of the members.
Following them came two Hawaiians
rOhed in tapa aud carrying suspended
from pole huge and beautifully
,olished calahnsh, n Hawaiian WON
an, similarly rohed laying a bunch of
bananas at the feet of the Secretary.
A basket Of co"oanuts was brought
in and the cOeOanntS being immediate

Secretary Makes Speech
Secretary Lane was deeply i'm,
pressed with the picturesque scene,
aRd stepping forward voiced his aPpre
citation of the many hOspitalties ex
tended to him and expressed the hope
that the people here world never per
nut their Old traditions to die, nor to
| forget their loyalty to the IIawafians
| of old, their chiefs of centuries ago,
for by retaining that loyalty they
could express the same deep loyalty to
the United States AND to the "great
| chief, President Wilson.
He then went into the causes of the
war. He spoke again Of Belgium in
vadPd when she was neutral and was
| so utrOciobsly violated. He spoke Of
| the dictatiOn of Germany to the Unit
ed States in preventing America
from utaimng her freedom upon the
seas, and by placing n barrier across
the routes from mainland to mainland,
and brought the illustration to Hawaii
when he said that Germany, by that
act placed q barrier upon the freedom
| # the seas to the people of Hawaii.
| He safd the people of Hawaii in an
cieut dnys had been a fighting people
1 and knew what the freedom of the seas
meant. He dwelt upon fine mnsic of
Hawaii and said he would ever re
| ain memories of its melodies and
never would forget the scene in which
he was at the moment living. His ad
Dress was interpreted by Rev. Stephen
D"sha, whose Incompatible translation
Of the Sccretary's words into Hawai-
ian. was in itself a masterpiece.
The "Night in Hawaii under the
monkCypOd tree lasted until long af
ter ten clock, when the guests invit
| cd to meet the Secretary and party
arose and returned to the house, where
| they were entertained until late
hour and whore the visitors went into
OBSTACLES over the beautiful Hawaiian
Giles, the feather c8pes and ornaments
and the historic relics of a monarchy
now hut a memory.
The Flavor of Hawaii
Prince and Princess KaIanauaoIr =
entertainment was one of unusual
charm for it retained the flavor Of
Hawaii mel from beginning to end and
he guests Of honor never seemed to
tire Of the quickly changing features.
| One of the most characteristic of the
songs was one in which singers IN the
foreground suddenly broke the melody
off, and the refrain was brought to
the ears of the guests from afar off
III the night, eerie, plaintlvr and ex-
! UresslNe of the musical soul Of Hawaii,
! for the notes were ear haunting and
came ripping across the sylvan stretch
es on the sweet tinkle Of the ukulClc
