Grip In K~amehameha
School Not Serious
President Webster States Conditions
At Institution - Few Serious
Cases And All Precautions Taken
Other Schools Same

In order that parents and guardians
of pupils attending the K~amehameha
schools. in Honolulu, may not suffer
anxiety on account of the influenza
epidemic in the city, President E. G.,
Webster, of the school, has sent a
circular letter to all such advising
them of the facts.
1t is quite certain that other private
schools in Honolulu are dealing with
the situation effectively, so that chill
dren in all such institutions are doubt
less more than ordinarily well safe
guarded.
President Webster says:
"Three weeks ago, in the School
for Boys, cases of grippe or influenza
very similar to what has been exper-
fenced here many times, but possibly
a little more severe, began to appear.
The number increased rapidly for a
few days until altogether 20 boys
have been confined in the hospital
anywhere from two to ten days.
Three boys have been quite i'll and
have been threatened with pneu-
monia. These cases, however, have
yielded promptly to treatment and
are now entirely recovered or rapid
~ recovering. All the other cases,
have with proper treatment, not been
at all dangerous. Extra nurses have
been employed and we believe all
pupils have been well cared for, Only
eleven are now in the school hospi-
tai and the influenza epidemic at the
K~amehameha School is, the school
physician says, practically over.
"Since the disease first appeared,
all pupils have been kept on the
school grounds and those in the
School for Girls and Preparatory De
partment of the School for Boys away
from the older boys. Thus far no
cases diagnosed as influenza have ap-
peared in either of these depart
ments. We confidently believe that
you need not be at all alarmed about
the girls and boys in whom you are
interested and we assure you both
that we shall take every precaution
we can to keep them in good health
and advise you Immediately if any Of
them are in danger. Unless you hear
from us, therefore, you can under
stand that they are in ordinary good
health"

Hun LOng-D Distance
GUNS Impractical
For Serious Work

PARIS, Jan. 16-(By Associated
Press.)-The French people want one
of the German "big-berthas'' or super
cannon which ~bombarded Paris to
display in the Place de la Concorde
as a souvenir of German frightfulness
that failed of it's purpose to destroy
French morale.
The armistice does not stipulate
that one of these instruments shall
be surrendered but there is a move
ment to urge the government to de-
mand it. There is no expectation
that the Germans will include one of
these weapons among the $500 guns
they are required to give up under
the armistice.
Facts obtained by military experts
show that the first guns that fired up
on Paris on March 23, last numbered
three. They were installed neal
Mont-Joie, in the forest of Saint
Gobain. Two were on the same rail
road spur leading out of Laon while
lLIS llllh was a 1llle luIllCI east III
the vicinity of Creepy.
According to the latest information
the guns were pointed at an angle
of more than 65 degrees, a charge of
three hundred pounds of powder pro-
pelling the projectile to a height of
one hundred thousand feet (nearly 10
miles) on its murderous mission to
Paris. With every shot ten or twelve
marine guns of sixteen or seventeen
inch calibre fired simultaneously up
on targets unknown in order to con-
ceal the location Of supercannon. The
shell was Of 210 millimetre calibre
(about eight inches). 1t weighted
three hundred pounds but the charge
Of explosive contained therein varied
between thirty and forty pounds.
In the manufacture of the shell
resided an innovation of the Ger
mans. 1t is said to have been made
of special steel treated with tungsten
so as to offer the maximum of resist
ance of a minimum of weight. The
guns only protection was in camou-
flage and it proved to be no protec-
ton at all rs allied ayiators soon 10
Gated them. There is a report that
several aviators, Americans, French,
British lost their lives in locating the
first three herthas in the forest of st.
Gobain but upon that point officials
are silent.
However on March 27 one of the
berthas was blown up by an aerial
torpedo which tore a hole in the
ground mure thar fifty feet in diam
eter, a photograph of which has been
taken. The second was put out of
business in the last days of April,
while the third of the original three
was silenced in May.

condition this week. About $50
pupils have been absent from the
Paia school on an average, and some
thing over 100 from HamakuapokO.
Keahua school has had about 25
absent.
No Public Meetings
The order of the board of health
closing moving picture theaters and
churches, and prohibiting all public
gatherings in closed buildings with
the exception of schools, is being
faithfully observed on Maui. There
were no church services last Sunday,
but it is intended to hold open air
services at most of the churches this
coming Sunday.
The annual meeting of the Maui
County Fair & Racing Association,
which was to have been held last
Tuesday, was indefinitely postponed,
as has been the food sale of the Ka-
hului Ladies Aid. The Wailuku Req
Cross, because its work is a work of
mercy, has continued to hold its
meetings as usual and does not eX-
pect to be interfered with.
1t is reported from Honolulu that
indications are that the closing order
will be recinded within about two
weeks unless conditions become more
serious.
Help For Lahaina
Capt. Fletcher G. Sanborn, medical
corps, U. S. A, formerly government
physician on MOlokai, who has been

situation on West Maui.

Distribution OF
Austrian Crown
Property Puzzles

VIENNA, Jan. 13-(By Associated
Press)-Pending an investigation by
Parliament of the disposition of the
imperial funds, the position of the
former Emperor Charles and the
erstwhile imperial family continues
to be a painful one though not Ian
gerous unless the situation should
lead to disorders. In that event the
family possibly may travel to Swift
zerland or elsewhere.
The Socialist papers continue free
ly to attack the former Emperor,
archdukes and aristocracy, claiming
that the latter did not do their duty
during the war. There is much criti-
cal and frivolous gossip concerning
the former Empress Zita.
The secret file of the old Emperor
Francis Joseph is being examined.
His fortune is v~ariously estimated at
from 100000 to 200 $1,000, 900 crowns.
According to n report the old EN-
peror divided 60, 0 700 crowns be-
tween his two daughters Gisela and
Valerie and his granddaughter, the
Princess Windischgraetz, with other
large sums to the imperial funds from
which donations were made to
churches, pensions end the royal
poor. Although Charles, officially is
the dispenser of these funds, it is
stated that in reality it is handled by
the bank directors.
Ekertsau castle, where the former
Emperor is now living does not be-
long to him but is property of the
state together with other large es-
tates and also the famous collection
of jewels in Hofburg castle among
which is the "Florentina" diamond
called the fourth largest in the world,
and also a wonderful necklace. It is
expected that this property will be
distributed among the various repub-
lies of the former Empire when the
accounts are settled among them. 1t
will be necessary also to divide up
the vast and wonderful treasures, the
masterpieces of art, paintings, anti
quities, and vases centered in Vienna
ma formerly crown property or in the
state museum or other museums or
Libraries. These are believed to be
worth several billions of francs.
The disposal of these treasures is
expected to be a difficult task and to
be fraught with disaster to Vienna
since her whole future existence is
believed to depend upon her ability
to make herself a center of attrac-
ton for visitors, tourists, artists,
architects and students of music and
medicine; now that she no longer is
a center of commerce and politics of
a great empire which annually drew
i IN billions Of income from such
sources.
Friends of the former Emperor
Charles assert that all the sins of the
Hapsburgs have been visited upon
his head and that he has been blam-
ed for all the grating in the army,
although the a~ristocrats declare that
the grating generals were principal
ly those without titles. They admit
ted, however, there were a few ex-
ceptions in which corrupt nobility
profited by the war. 1t is asserted
by the friends of Charles, the last
emperor, that while the old emperor
never was permitted to get in touch
with the people, Charles immediate
ly got rid Of the "old crown" and did
his best to introduce new men and
to stop the war.
