spring meetings Of the many presby-
teries throughout the United States TO

foer probable that several leading lay
men Of the Church will be candidates

HONOLULU, Mar. %. An odc
phase of the industrial life Of Ha-
Wal, is the bonus system, based on
the current price of raw sugar,
which determines the amount paid
by the planters to their 45,Ope
iaborers. This system was adopted
by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
association in 1912, according to
officials of the association, in or
der to quiet labor unrest by guar
anteeing to the workers an equit-
able share of the planters prosper
ity and to make the laborers more
industrious.
Under the old flat wage system,
many field laborers worked just
enough to earn a living. spending
many days in idleness. Under the
new system men must work at
least 90 days and women Is days
each month to participate in the
bonus.
AS amended on Nov. 1, 1917, the
bonus scale is based on a price for
raw sugar of $S5 a ton, at which
figure laborers would receive a
bonus of one and one-half per cent

CANDY SCARCE
AT CONFERENCE

PARIS, Mar. 26. = One of the
features of the peace conference is
the queue which forms daily in the
corridor of the hotel which shelters
the American delegates to buy
candy from the canteen establish
ed by the American government to
supply cigars, cigarettes, candy
and chewing gum to the hundreds
of specialists and other govern
ment employees quartered there.
Candy is so scarce and 10 ex-
pensive in Paris that it is the fav-
orite article on sale in all Ameri-
can army, Red Cross and Y. M. C.
A. canteens. The allowance given
to each canteen daily is small.
Consequently the men with a
sweet tooth watch eagerly for the
arrival of the daily supply and
struggle for advanced positions in
the line which always contains
more buyers than there are pack
ages of candy.
No man is allowed to have more
than one pound of candy and the
price is three francs a pound.

POSITION

LONDON, Mar. &c. - Informa-
ton received here from Batum in
dicates that. despite the surrender
of the Turkish forces, the position
of the Greeks south of the Black

lists and that the Young Turk COM
mander, General Halid Pasha, has
been pursuing a policy OF system
attic determination of Christians.
This officer. who Is a friend OF
Enver Pasha. is said to be supply
ing arms to Turkish irregulars in
the Russian territories evacuated
by the Turkish army. Lately he
received from Turkish ource 200
carloads of arms and munitions.

lists and irregulars foot and mas
sacre the Greek population.
The flourishing Greek town of
Sanda, near Trebizord. with a pop
ulation of about 5000, is reported
by Turkish reservists. The Greeks,
profiting by the naturally strong
position of the town, are offering
heroic resistance.
