MANY IN U. S. IGNORANT OF

HONOLULU. T. H, May 25 GORE
spondence of the Associated Press,.-
Letters received here by public Off
Gals indicate that in many sections
OF the United States there exists a
surprising Ignorance as to the real
status Of Hawaii.
As a territory Hawaii is an inte-
graz part Of the United States, and it's
political status the same as that of
Alaska and of Oklahoma before the
latter was granted statehood Gov
{. j. Mccarthy frequently receives
letters addressed TO The American
Consul Honolulu"
One large mainland paper recently
speculated as TO the possibility Of
Hawaii seeking "self-determination'
apparently not knowing that Hawaii
is intensely American. despite its cos
nopohtan population. and that its
people are extremely proud of the
TACT that the territory has gone
over the top in every liberty loan
campaign and war charity drive.

WINCHESTER, England. May 20
Correspondence OF the Associated

thousands of soldiers in the British
army who make claim to repatriation

Gus individuals who have roamed the
globe and now want to go to America

who say they have right to he sent
TO the United States. About 5000 have
been certified. hundreds have been
rejected and the applications keep
coming.
The British government agreed
when the United States entered the
war to send home after the war any
american citizens who joined the
british army and also any citizen of
allied nationality who had previously
established residence in the United
states. The authorities are not hav-

cory. but the latter one is bringing
on no end OF complications.

Dusky Beauties Have U. S. WAYS.

While II is true that many dusky
beauties take daily dips at WAIKIKI
beach, they wear made in America
suits instead of grass skirts, dance
the fox trot instead of the hula, and
spend their spare hours playing golf
at the country clubs or driving their
cars over the scenic roads of Oahu
instead OF stunning ukuleles be-
meath palm trees for the entertain
ment of white beachcombers and
tourists
Hawaii is in the tropics and 1000
miles from San Francisco but is a
very American part of the United
States. and the only movement known
here which could be interpreted as a
desire for self determination is an
OCCASIONAL suggestion that statehood
should be sought.

By Associated Press

Brussels, Saturday, September 6.-The Flemish activist leader. pr. August Borms, who during the German occupa- tion helped the Flemish separist move ment with the aid of Germany and &C., cepted functions as an activist minister, today was condemned to death following a trial which lasted a week. The trial gave rise to numerous, incidents of ac- twist demonstrations, one of which oc- cured after sentence had been passed upon Dr. Forms. The police arrested three of the demonstrators.
 In February of 1918, the Belgian gov ernnent ordered the Belgian judges in the occupied territory to prosecute all activists guilty of having announced the fall of King Alberts government and proclaining autonomy in Flanders. Act ing under these orders, pr. August Borms and Pierre Took were arrested. The Ger mans immediately released Took and arrested the three Belgian magistrates.

'SHOPMEN CONSIDER RAILROAD WAGES.

By Associated Press

Detroit. September 7.-More than a thousand delegates have gathered here for the convention of the United Brother hoo1 of maintenance of way employees and shop laborers which will open it's session tomorrow and the chief business of which will be to pass on the strike vote taken among members and can vassed here the past week. Between one and two thousand more delegates are expected to arrive tomorrow and Tues day. The convention will sit until action is taken in Washington on demands that have been laid before director General of Railroads Walker D. Hines.
 Claiming that their organization is the third strongest labor organization in the country and that their members are paid less than those of the other brotherhoods, the maintenance of way employees and shop lahorers are asking an increase of sl per day per man. time and half for overtime, standardization of wages. seniority rights in promotion and the right to appeal from dismissal. If the demands are granted it will mean an added burden on the railroads of s1S7,- 000,00O year, estimating 3Is working days, and if they are rejected and the strike is called it will mean tieing up all the railroad transportation in this coun- try.

 BETTER THAN HUNS
Comparative Tests Show Tank Subs Far Superior
 to U-BOats
By Assoeiated H-ess

Washington, September 7.-E1hnus- tive comparative tests of tke relative 1 merits of German U-bosts and United States navy submarines of the new ''S" type. conducted by a special board of naval officers, shows the German craft to be inferior to the new Amer- icnn submersibles in every respect.
 The report of the special board was made public today.
 The best of the five captured Ger man submarines brought to this coun- try last spring, the U-111. built at the Germania yard, Kiel, 1918, was used in the tests against the S-3, built at the Portsmouth navy yard in 1918. Both submarines are of the soo-ton Glass.
 In the speed trials, conducted under parallel conditions. the German subma- rine developed a maximum surface speed of 13.S knots. while the Amer ican craft made 14.7 knots without difficulty. The variation in submerged speed was even more startling, the U-111 only making 7s knots under the surface, while the S-3 developed 124 knots
 The cruising range of the two boats, the report shows, also favors the S-3, despite the furor created by the ap- pearance of U-boats on the American coast during the war. The U-111 was found to be capable of cruising $500 miles at eight knots, while the S-3 could cover 10000 miles at II knots The submerged cruising abilities of the two vessels was equally in favor of the SzS

SOuth's Climate One of Its
 Most Profitable Assets

One of the souths greatest business assets is it's climate, which permits crop rotation on the same ground in the course of the same year, makes possible building operations for the greater part of the year, and attracts in the winter season tens of thousands who. come from other sections, less favored, seeking southern sunshine.
 Only those who have lived in other sections fully appreciate the south's climatic advantages, and the practical industrial benefits that arise from such conditions. In the south outdoor
 work for the greater part of the year
 is possible, and in certain sections of
 the south there is practically no cos-
 sation of such work.
 The south is desperately in need of more housing facilities-buildings :vr human occupancy, for live stock oc- cupancy, for public and schooling pnr- poses, for the storage of merchandise, for the storage of farm and factory
 products. And it is desperately in
 need to, of more good roads, of bet
 ter. and safer bridges. Southern cities and towns are more alive now than
 ever to the actual necessity of inl-
 proved waterwt'ks systems. Sniti:- tion, street lighting and street paving, and are clamoring for more and bet ter improvements along this line. We are living in new times. Our stand ards of living. of comfort and of san itation have all changed. We are no longer content to get along with rmis- erable makeshifts, when we know that a little money and a little effort can get s-the best We are determined to get more out of life as we trave! along through it.
 Under these conditions, there should be no let-up in general construction, work in the south this winter, but projects should be steadily pushed and new work undertaken as rapidly as labor conditions will permit. There IS a crying need-an absolute necessity 1 for great deal of construction of practically every character, and the re- sponsibility should be met fully by the investors and builders.
 With our splendid climatic advap- tages, with the desperate need of more buildings and with the sure. attractive l returns that such investments now yield, we feel sure that there will be little pause, if any, in the south's busy building programme this fall and win-
