SULTAN is NICE,
HARMLESS OLD MAN
Every Friday Crowd of Mussulmans
and Foreigners Watch Him
Go to Prayer


Constantinople, December z.-Peo-
pie OF Constantinople call the Sultan
Mehmed VI. "a nice, harmless old man."
Mehmed VI is the last enemy emperor
left, the man whose temporal possess
sions are at stake in the making of
peace.
The Padishah, or Father of All the
Sovereigns of the Earth" is short,
gray haired, rather stoop- shouldered,
dark eyed, with short white moustache
set under the characteristic beaked
nose of the Turk. Bereft of good coun-
sellers. worried by the actions Of
Moustapha Renal Pashe. leader of the
nationalists, Mehmed is in a quandary
as to how to save his people and his
throne. At that he doesn't worry too
much, thanks to the pervading oriental
spirit of fatalism.
Every Friday, the Turkish Sunday a
crowd of Mussulman pilgrims and for
eigners gathers to see him go to
prayer. The ceremony takes place out
side the palace gates of Yildiz on the
hills of Pera- just above the Bosphorus.
There are the Sultan's official offices
and also his harem in a flower garden

frock coats and trousers in the Euro

The Sultan bows right and left, in
response to the acclamations, looks to-
ward the terrace, where are ranged
the foreigners, and bows pleasantly to
them. The distance to the mosque is
passed, then at the door of the mosque
he steps out; from the interior is heard
chant of a male chorus, and he dis
appears. Directly the general Mussul-
man public is permitted to enter at an
other door of the mosque to take place
in the prayers which continue for half
an hour. Meanwhile the foreign Wis

The Babies Strike
From the Thrift Magazine.

Since everyone else has struck, we
suggest that the babies form a union
and walk out If their demands are not
grievances. We believe the organization
should be called the Amalgamated Union

Squealers, and that their ultimatum
should be set forth in the following I'M
compromising terms:

taken in wash bowls.
mo more carrying on long conserva-
tions with people who have nothing to
say but Goo GOO
mo more persons whom we never met
before running their fingers down our
tkroats on the pretext of hunting for
new teeth.
1--WE demand that we be spoken to in a
regular language, and not in the vernac-
ular of the psycopathic ward. Hereafter
we shall refuse to gurgle, blow bubbles
or siobber on our chins when addressed
as follows: 'Googy googy! Hoogy-hoogy.
Poogy-poogy, Moogy- moogy!
mo more being bounced up and down
with the idea that people are showing
us a good time. The same rule goes for
listening to the watch, hearing the birdie
or conversing with ourselves in the mir

mo more posing for the breakfast food

undershirt.
I'VE demand the right to be carried at
night by the members of the Parents
union if time hangs heavily on our hands
and we can't think of any other way OF
amusing ourselves

BETTENCOURT
IS ACQUITTED

The Bettencourt case came up
for trial in the Circuit Court last
week and resulted i'm what would
seem to be a very unsatisfactory
ending, for all concerned.
The indictment was brought in
the name of the Makee Sugar Co.,
Ltd, but when the articles of in
corporation were produced it
transpired that the Makee Sugar
Co. is not a limited corporation,
having been incorporated in the
old days before that was an indis-
pensable feature of business.
The defendants attorney took
the ground that the Makee Sugar
Co. had no case in the action
brought by the Makee Suar Co.,
Ltd, a different person. Ultimate
ly the judge recognized this point
of view, and instructed the jury to
acquit the defendant, which was
promptly done.

REFEREE AWARDS
GAME TO M'BRYDE

Last Sundays soccer game at
Eleele, the second of the series of
three games between Lihue and
McBryde, for the championship,
resulted in a tie, neither side scor.
ing.
According to the rules, SO the
knowing ones say, this tie should
have been played off then and
there, with a l5-minute period of
play. Others claim that Lihue hav-
ing won the first game; wins the
championship by tieing McBryde
in the second game, and that a tie
shall not be played off unless it is
the last and deciding game of the
series. 1t is nice little point for
the league officials to decide.
However that may be, Captain
Hutton having refused to play the
fifteen minute period, referee Car.
michael gave the game to McBryde
by default.
Lihue has no intentions of pro-
testing the game, and has agreed
to play the third and deciding
game next Sunday. So, if the mat.
ter of the decision Of last Sundays
game goes any farther, it will be
due entirely to the league officials.
The matter of the choice of
grounds for the final game was to
have been decided by toss up, but
McBryde claimed the Lihue
grounds were not regulation and
refused to play on them should
the toss decide that way, so Lihue
waived this right and agreed to
play the game on the McBryde's
grounds.
According to many Of the spec
tators, McBryde put up their best
game of the season last Sunday.
They certainly played every min
ute of the time, and a lot of great
kicking was done on both sides.
Lihue was very unfortunate in
losing SOper, who got put out with
a sprained tendon very early in the
game, thus leaving Lihue with but
ten men to play with.

Castaways Rescued
By Nervy Japanese

A party of twelve under the con-
duct of DR.. Dunn of Makaweli, set out
for the Napali coast on a week end
fishing expedition on the afternoon of
the 18th, intending to return the next
evening. They made Nuololo without
difficulty, landing there early in the
afternoon, and anchored their boat
inside the reef. That night a kona
came up from the south with deluge
of rain, a strong wind and heavy
sea. The boat was failed about un-
mercifully and was finally damaged
so badly that it became unseawOrthy.
Nuololo, situated as it is at the base
of towering cliffs, is absolutely cut off
from the world except by sea.
Accordingly they were marooned
until help came to them from without.
BY Sunday night their supplies were
exhausted, and from that time on had
to depend on the turtles and fish which
they caught on the reef. Fortunately
the heavy rain filled the waterholes
so that they did not suffer for water.
AS soon as their condition was re-
ported strenuous efforts were made
for their rescue. Manager Baldwin
sent out a power sampan daily, but so
heavy sea was running thet any
landing there was out of question.
Finally Wednesday morning. the wea.
ther had moderated SO that they we're
rescued by Japanese party, the out.
come of a mass meeting held in Wal.
mea the day before.
The principal members of the party
were: Dr. w. T. Dunn, c. w. Smith,
foreman blacksmith; D. L. Austin, of
Davies & Co.; H. w. Schriner en-.
gineer Makaweli plantation; J. H.
Galloway, San Francisco; Charles

ans.
