and Hawaii, for the Y. NJ. c. A..
and Mr.. l.. \. Killam, Territorial
Secretary, have been making Il
tour of the island during the last

Mr.. and Mrs. :. w. Wilcox, in Ii
hue, and the other at Mr.. Brandt's
in Waimea. At these conferences
Mr.. McDill has explained in an
informal and entertaining, and
very winning way, the aims and
purposes of the Y. NJ. c. A., and
has told us that we belong to his
great fold that extends from
Alaska to Hawaii, and that he in
tends to look after us. And, see
ing that he is the man that he is,
We are very glad to be looked after
by him,
Both he and Mr.. Killam con
gratulate Kauai on being the first

WAR SOUVENIRS
FOR DRIVE MEN

Hawaii is going to have Il share
in the German helmets which were
sent from the Rhineland for use
in the Liberty Loan. When the
Yankee boys entered Germany
they came upon Il factory full of
brand new Prussian helmets.
There was Il rush for souvenirs
and finally Il guard was placed
over the factory until a disposi-
ton could be made of the nate
ial. They were finally shipped to
the United States as material to
be used in the Victory Loan. A
cable to the Victory Loan COM
mittee at Honolulu received sat
urday morning announced that
200 of these helmets had just been
shipped by express. This means
that they will be on the next boat
arriving early next week.
In the shipment also are $50
medals for the volunteer workers.
These medals have been struck off
from the German canon which
were captured during the actual
fighting at Chateau Thierry, the
ArgOnne and st. Mihiel. The win
ner of one of these medals will
have souvenir of the Victory
Loan worth while, and it is eX-
pected there will be much com
petition among the workers to OBJ
tain one.

A Promising New Industry

Oahu, with commendable enter
prise, Las inaugurated new in
dustry which may be of consider
able interest to the Islands, viz,
the cultivation Of the willow tree,
and thl manufacture of willow
ware. The tree grows readily, and
there would assuredly be IA very
considerable demand for willow
ware products, such as baskets,
crates, hampers, chairs, etc. The
over seas freight on such bulky
article; is necessarily very high
these days; it will be to our ad-
vantage every way to produce
it here.

THE REVIVAL Of
CASSAvA GROWING

Mr.. F. G. Krauss, director of the
Haiaku Experiment Station at Haiku
Maui, has just left Kauai after gen
eral survey of the island. While this
was his regular annual trip to the is
Extension Service, he made it point
20 get line on the present and past
status of Cassava cultivation and man.
ufacture on this island. Cassava
starch manufacture is an old industry
OH Kauai, and at one time was carried
on quite extensively in the vicinity of
Lihue. G.. N. Wilcox was able to furn-
ish Mr.. Krauss with a good many
valuable and interesting points on the
industry as it was carried on here
many rears ago. and E. II. w. Broad
bent, manager of Grove Farm planta-
ton, explained and pointed out a good
many things about the industry as it is
carried on here today.
Mr.. Krauss has just recently return
ed from tour of the mainland on
cassava Investigations, and he has
many interesting things to relate re-
garding the use of cassava starch in
the arts and in the manufacture of
well known food stuffs. He says that
there is a good demand for the starch
which we call pia and which the main
land buyers term cassava -four He is
trying to encourage the revival of the
old industry on this island where the
crop seems to do so well and where
there is so much land suitable for its
cultivation. He says that it is very
probable that people on Maui will
start a plant for starch manufacture
on a commercial scale this year, and
that it is hoped that a beginning may
be made on this island in the near
future. He says that the present sup
ply of cassava starch for the mainland
manufacturers comes chiefly from
Java. He is preparing government
publication or his recent cassava in
vestigations and the same will be
published in the near future.
While on Kauai Mr.. Krauss also
visited a great many of the farmers on
the island and spent considerable time
with the pineapple planters with whom
he has been comforting regarding re.
cent investigations of pineapple wilt
He says the pineapple troubles that
are prevailing on Kauai are similar to
those on Oahu and Maui. The Haiku
sub-station has an extended expert
ment under way, planned for the de-
| termination of the fundamental cause
| of the serious trouble known as pine.

the service of motor ambulances
ready, in case of need, to deliver
any case of illness or injury to any
hospital in the city, civil or mill
tary.
The military exhibition will bt
on the order of that of last year
but more comprehensive, showing
ordnance, equipment, and every
thing identified with the duty o
a soldier.
Aero apparatus will be shown
too, and an aero squadron will b,
one of the many big attractions
"A special committee, says Col
Onel Schofield, will have charg
of the various military displays
and another special committee
will handle military athletics
These committees are to be nance
later, for. thus far, the plans ar
tentative.
General Hodges has signitied
his hearty cooperation in tn
plans, as has also Admiral Doyle
Naval plans are developing ant
will be determined with the gen
eral scheme of entertainment.
There will be something doin
every day of the week of the Fai
in the military line. Firework
will supplement the night scene
of sham battles,- and all the Ell
tertaining features which prove
such Il success last year will b
repeated, with many additions.

NO PASSPORTS.

1t Is now officially announced that
ogatcs to the Peace Conference from

country will be granted passports to

Editor William Monroe Trottcr, OF
Boston, Massachusetts will no doubt
meeting OF their respective organiza-
tons.
For our own part, we must admit
that we are "1ost" i'll these evidences
damental rights OF Il citizen. We are
free and yet wo arc not free. We
arc entitled to certain rights and
privileges, but We are not accorded
these rights and privileges. The war
has brought us benefits and it has
brought too radical curtailmcnts Of
rights and privileges.
We are represented in Paris by Dr.
w. Il. B. Dubois and we are not
represented in Paris by DR.. w. e.
b. Dubois. That distinguished

rights and privileges in this country
are concerned. Flo is busily engaged

German colonies, who need no re-
preventative.
Many Of them are keencr wittcd
than many OF ourselves, but We have
volunteered without any request up
on their part to represent them,
while those OF us who asked to be
represented and that the denial of
rights and privileges in this country
should be made the source OF com
mcnt and discussion in the Peace
Conference are not even considered.
But there is a hereafter to all Of
this. We must trust the President
and Dr.. w. Il. B. Dubois, DR.. r.. r.
