MERELY RED CLOTH TO HIM
Fact That 1t Was Cut From Country's
Flag meant Nothing to Ger
man Merchant.

1t is a known fact that the average
German will forget religion, civil
laws, and even his patriotism, if they
interfere with his chances to drive
home good bargain. The latest dis
play of this tendency came during the
preparations for the victory ball, which
was given the Fourth Of July In the
Enlisted Mems club at Andernach. As
no Fourth of July ball would be COM

tune for the revered character. When
it came to purchasing the red cloth
for the stripes in the trousers, how
ever, it seemed that their plans had
gone amiss. Nowhere In Andernacli
could sufficient quantity of the right
colored material be purchased. Final
~ one German merchant announced
that he had just what they wanted.
Out Of d closet at the rear Of his shop
he dug large German flag. Quickly
he cut all the red cloth from It, and
sold the material to the girls with the
air of one who had just accomplished
a noble deed.--From the Watch on the
Rhine.

.S.KandaBaCk From
Red Cross Service
WaiIuku Japanese Serves America In
France After Overcoming Great
Obstacles Was Only Alien In
American Red Cross

Holding the distinction of being the
only foreigner connected with the
American Red Cross in France, Rev.
S. Kanda, of Waikiki, returned home
'ast Saturday night after an absence
of a year and a half, most of which
time was spent in Europe During his
term of service he bore the title of
first lieutenant. He has again taken
up his work as head of the Japanese
Christian girls school, which during
his absence has been carried on by
his wife.
Mr.. Kanda's story is a remarkable
one as an example On what may be
accomplished through neverIfailing
effort and determination. Because he
believed it his duty to assist America,
his adopted country, IN the great strug
gle, he first offered his services as a
worker to the Hawaiian branch of
the Red Cross, and was turned down.
Undaunted, he thereupon settled up
his affairs in Maui and. at his own ex-
pense started for Now York and
Washington in May, 1918
In these cities his application for
service in the Red Cross in France
was refused time and again. 1t took
six refusals before the British authori-
ties in New York finally permitted
him to so to England at all. Then
he met another series of refusals on
the part of French of cials in England
all of which his persistence and obvi-
Gus earnestness of purpose finally
overcamc. This was brought about
by his final acceptance by the Red
Cross officials and his being detailed
for duty on the continent.
That he made good in his work is
attested by letters OF appreciation
which Mr.. Kanda holds from high
officials in the Red Cross service
among them being an especially
warm one written by Kenneth Wyatt
American commissioner for the Red
Cross in France.

Kilauea A Wonderful
Sight, Says G. N. Weight

George N. Weight. bookkeeper of
the Wailuku Sugar Co., who returned
home last Monday night from Hilo,
where he attended b2okkeepers' con
vention, reports that while the big
Mauna Loa lava flow through Kona
was apparently dead when he left
there, Kilauea is putting on a show
that has probably not been equaled in
century.
The cracks in the whole floor of
the great main crater, he says, are
full Of fire extending even. to the foot
of the cliff Immediately below the
Volcano House. At night the crater
gives one the impression of looking
upon some great city, the lights con
stantly coming and going shifting in
cessantly.
Halemaumau is reported to be in
intense activity. Many believe that
the whole floor of the main crater is
about to become a fire lake again,
something it has not done for many
years.
