The Kitsap
DereLict

Yesterday morning sharp eyes
scanning the horizon to the south
east caught sight of some floating
object which more careful scrut
my, with a good glass, showed to
be suspiciously like hulk. TIC
settle the matter, Sheriff Rice and
Sam Kaeo chartered power sam
pan, and set out early in the after
noon to locate the wreckage, and
after two hours or so of good go
ing they reached it, and found
that it was the derelict Kitsap
floating on her beam ends, retain
ed in that position by her masts
which seemed to be intact.
They report that she was very
much "dOwn by the head" so that
the fOremast was well submerged
i'm the water. N
She is Is or 20 miles out, in the
direct line of the traffic to Homo
lulu, and is, of course, a menace
to such traffic. Mr.. Rlce sent q
wireless to town reporting the
find, and means will doubtless be
taken to dispose of her.
Sharp eyes this morning de
clare that the derelict is being
tOwed to Honolulu; doubtless in
response to the wireless message
of yesterday.
Competent marine opinion de
clares that it will be quite sim
pie operation to salvage the Kit
sap. AS soon as the masts are
cut away she will right herself
The breaches in her bow can be
patched up with canvas, and theI
she can be towed to harbor, where
o she can be repaired.

From, the Front

A bullet wound in his left jaw,
Il shrapnel cut in the forehead and
another in the left leg, all gained
in the famous assault upon the
ArgOnne Woods where the Ger
mans were strongly entrenched
for years, didn't dim the cheer
fulness of Joseph Tseu, private in
the gas and flame corps, who was
in Nawiliwili last week visiting
his brother who is bOOkkeeper at
Nawiliwili Garage.
Tseu and Il German bullet met
one day in the advance on the
ArsOnne. 1t went thru his lsft
jaw just below the ear and took
away a number Of teeth and part
of the jaw. The piece Of shrap-
mel while it tore into his forehead
between his eyes, was SO cleverly
attended to by doctors that the
scar is scarcely noticeable, al
though the leg wound is said by
Tseu to show vividly.
"Say we Americans" said Tseu,
and he said it proudly for he was
born in Hawaii and is a Chinese
American, "made those French
men sit up and take notice. I tell
you those Trenches are slow but
fine, but we Americans amazed
them. Zip, we'd shoot thru a vii
lage and back again and they got
to it that we Yanks are a swift
bunch more WaYs than one"

The Flu Still Lingers

Since our last issue there has
been a material improvement in
the flu situation.
Lihue
At Lihue the cOnvalescent home
was closed early in the week, and
the ArmOry hospital little later,
the few remaining patients being
removed to the regular hospital,
where there are now some Is in
mates. There have, however, been
two deaths during the week.
Eleeie
McBryde now heads the list
with 50 cases in the Eleele hos
pital, some of them pretty severe.
kOlOd
The count at KOlOa remains
just about the same as last week,
between % and 30. There have,
however, been two deaths during
the week, both FilipinOs. Many
of the cases are severe with com
! lllcallOliS.
Pdkdld
From Pakala, the Gay & Robin
son camp, near the Makaweli land
ing, there are number of cases,
Is or l6, which are at the Waimea
hospital. Pakala is a new center
i'of contagion and it may run there
! for some time.

The Coming Town

Kapaa is steadily forging to the
front as a village community, and
is more adequately supplied with
the necessities and cOnveniences
of community life than perhaps
any other place Oh the Island. 1t
, has among other things three
churches, one of the largest and
best equipped schools on the Is
land, the MahelOna Hospital,
court house, post Office, large can.
merry, two public halls, rice mill,
two garages, one or two soda
water plants in prospect, 25 or 30
stores of various kinds, resident
dentist, two or three lawyers and
a community nurse.
1t has nice little harbOr all of
it's own, that in the near future
will be unequaled on the Island as
landing where Inter-Island
steamers may lie along side the
wharf. 1t has a mountain water
supply system which is admitted
to be the best on the Island.
Best of all, and most significant
of all in the long run, every citizeI
may own his home, and be indie
pendent of any autOcratic land
lord control. 1t also has a large
and fertile homestead hinterlan(
with a growing population an(
expanding interests which must
find an outlet and source OF
supply in the town and port OF
Kapaa. All this means that Ka
paa is one of the coming places
perhaps the coming place, o.
Kauai.
At present the town does no
present a very attractive appear
ance along the main street be
cause of lot of tumble-dOwI
shacks and novels are ranged il
conspicuous disorder along this
thOrOughfare. There is evidentl,
a lack of public spirit and com
munity pride about the town
which ought to be remedied. Th'
leading citizens ought to get to
gether and organize village i'm
prOvement society, and stimulat,
community interest.
Work for Kapaa. Keep it up t.
the level of its possibilities!

The Sugar Outlook

The outlook for future sugar
prices continues to improve. The
Java surplus is gone, there is q
prospective decline of IA million
tons in the crop of India, and
there is IA serious strike on hand
in Cuba, which coming just in the
midst of the grinding season, will
probably reduce that crop. Alto
gether raise, rather than a de
cline of prices, is probable,

Plans And
Finances

Kauai Young Mems Christian
Association is out to raise the
$1,000 required by their budget
this year and so far half this
iamOunt has been secured. The
actual canvas did not begin un-
til last Friday afternoon and it
is not possible to state the total
results to date.
The honor of supporting the
local association is being dis
tributed as widely as is expe-
dient among givers large and
small The membership idea,
which is standard principle
with the Y. Nj. c. A., is meeting
general approval. About fifty
new members have been secured
to date. The response of the
young men who are the most di.
rect recipients of the association
is especially gratifying and au-
gurs well for the future.
A canvass such as is being
made at this time is an excellent
barometer of the community.
While many new friends are
being discovered some enemies
also appear on the horizon. Pre-
judices hitherto unsuspected
come to light; adverse criticism
is invited as well as praise, and
it is much to be desired that any
such criticism be OutspOken rath-
er than muttered. 1t is only by
expressions of praise or cOndem-
nation that come from the people
that the prevailing attitude of
the community at large can be
ascertained. Naturally enough
the promoters of the Y are thus
in position to classify indivf-
duals as for or against them.
which is fair to all parties and
puts their calculations on a scien-
tific basis.
One thing seems evident land
this IN being said in no spirit OF
criticism or cOmplaint) namely
that it is easier to raise money
for a foreign cause than for !,
local enterprise. One may not
have to look far for the reasons.
When the war clouds roll heavily
over our heads and the distant
rumblings of battle can be heard,
purses open wide to help the
"bOys over there" But when the
tumult and the shouting dies and
the boys come home. their pres
ence here, while by no means for
gotten, does not seem to stimu
late the same sort of enthusiasm
as attaches to war drives.
This is human nature. The Y
NJ. G. A. refuses to believe how
ever that the people of Kauai
mean to allow the boys who have
returned to receive less care than
they got in the army. There is
too much evidence to the contrary
1t may proper question though
as to how much of this care should
be committed to the Y. Nj. G. A
At all events let the people OF
Kauai fail not hencefOrth in see
ing that as much consideration i.
given to the boys who work for us
as is given the boys who are will
ing to fight for us.

to the end that Kauai may be

that the president appoint com

The president, a few minutes
later, appointed this committee
as follows: w. F. Sanborn, w. ID.
McBryde, G. w. Sahr, c. A. Rice
and f. M. Cheatham.
Mr.. Sdhr remarked that at the
last fair one of the most interest
ing and instructive exhibits was
that of mechanical appliances,
many of them local inventions, of
much interest to planters, home
steaders and others. These things
were shown in models and the

Another interesting thing was the

stick of cane, the longest joint,
etc.
Mr.. CreeUey advocated having
all Kauai exhibits placarded by a
striking, distinguishing card
some distinctive color, SO that it
would be evident at a glance that
it was 4 Kauai exhibit.
Mr.. SdnbOrn reverted to thu
matter of Chamber of Commerce
prizes, thought that it was very
desirable to have such prizes given
by the chamber.
The practical difficulty about
this was the uncertainty as to how
many such prizes might be re
quired, and what they would a
mount to. Mr.. Sahr thought the
committee might solicit cOntri
buttons to a fund for that pur
pose. Mr.. Wishard thought i
would be better to give one prize
say IA cup, to the winner of thu
most prizes. Mr.. Brandt suggest
ed that it might be best to apprO
pirate, say, 800 from the treasur.
for such prizes to be used at th'
discretion of the committee; ant

CHAMBER Of COMMERCE !:
ENDORSES THE FAIR

The Kauai Chamber of Com.
merce held a special session in Ii.
hue on Thursday afternoon to
take action in regard to the terri.
torial fair in June, by special re-
quest of w. F. SanbOrn, Kauai
member of the fair committee.
After a brief statement from Mr..
Warner on behalf of the Rural
Y. NJ. G. A. the president stated
the object of the meeting and call
ed upon Mr.. Sanborn to set before
the chamber the plans and pur-
poses which he had in mind for
Kauai i'm connection with the
matter.
Mr.. SdnbOrn said that at the
last territorial fair Kauai was
very meagerly and very poorly
represented.
He hoped that this would be all
changed this time and that Kauai
would assume that place of I'M
portance that she was quite able
to take, especially in the depart
ments of live stock and agricul-
ture. He proposed to arrange to
have an exclusively Kauai section
where all the exhibits from the
island would be grouped together
under appropriate heads, so that
it would make strong appeal as
an island exhibit, and not as a
lot of odds and ends here and
there. The work done by the
school gardens, as well as by
honiestea1ers and the plantations
showed what could be done in
agriculture, and this alone would
make fine exhibit. He had sug
gested tentatively that different
farm products should be assigned
to different planters, so that each
might exhibit that in which he eX
celled. He hoped that the Cham
ber of Commerce would adopt the
coming fair and appoint strong
committee to work for it. An(
having done that he hoped thai
Chamber of Commerce prizes
might be arranged for, to be giveI
to Kauai prize winners, in addi
ton to the prizes awarded by thu
fair committee.
Mr.. BrOddbent being asked fO
an expression of opinion in th'
matter, said that the matter hat
been taken up at Mr.. SanbOrn'
request by the Kauai Planters AS
sOciatiOn and they were strOngl,
in favor, not only of the terr
tOrial fair, but of a local count,
fair. An annual fair, which il
addition to collection of eXhi
bits. would also be the one big da,
of the year, when people cOul'

eveninf, a committee appointed at a
previous meeting two weeks ago, made
a report recommending the leasing OF
the opera House and not the sale Of
the same. The directors by unanimous
vote after hearing the report, decided
not to sell the building. notwithstand-
ing the fact that one director held
proxies representing 5000 Of the $500

The board received propositions from
two parties namely the NlNon-Nirdling-
er Company. and NJ. Swartz, the pres
ent manager OF the Temple Theatre, OF
Dover, 10 lease the opera House. A
third party has also asked for an op-
tion. As yet no one OF the three ap-
'plicanis have secured an option oa the
building and the report that tho Fred

Opera House, is without foundation.
As a matter Of fact, the rent proposed
