AdmiralSilnS Makes
Sensational Charge
Against Daniels

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-When or
dered to London in March of 1917 just
before the entry of the United States
into the war, Admiral Sims was in
stTucted by the navy department not
to let the British pull the wool over
his eyes, for we would just as soon
fight England as the Central powers"
This is part of the evidence of Admir-
al w. S. Sims, American naval COM
mander-in-chief in European waters
before the committee investigating the
matter of naval awards in the senate.
The navy department, he declared,
did not arrive at a concerted plan of
action until 10 months after he ar
rived in London, and added, sit was
10 months before we really came to the
aid of the allies or acted on their re-
cOmmendation." He also declared
that American naval headquarters in
| ondon did not receive cooperation
from the navy department.
The admiral's testimony was in the
form OF a letter to Secretary Daniels
of the navy department, entitled "some
naval lessons of the Great War" In
the letter which was received recently
he criticized the department for at
tempting to administer the detailed
action of the American naval forces
overseas. He alleged the department
demanded to be permitted to pass fully
on all plans eve those regarding ac-
ton against the enemy.
When Admiral Sims finished read
ing his letter chairman Hale announc-
ed that the full naval committee would
be asked either to empower the pres
ent subcommittee to investigate the
charges made by Admiral Sims of
lack of cooperation, or appoint a sub
committee for this purpose.
Sims said that although he repeated
ly asked hat officers be. sent to Lon
don to assist him, no officers were
sem until four months after the Unit
ed States entered the war.

Kilauea Was
Never Before
More Wonderful

Halemaumau is very spectacular, a
circular pit $4,000 feet across, o
tanning pools of liquid lava tapping the
base Of the vertical walls and foun-
tanning intensely.
A group of violently boiling mar
ginal ponds are separated off from a
central lagoon by a ridge of horseshoe
shape suggesting a coral atOll, says
the Hilo Post-Herald. This ridge rises
from 20 to so feet aboev the liquid.
The lagoon is quiet liquid with soft
skins and a few fountains playing in
patches. This excessive multiple
fountaining has had no parallel here
since 1912 and creates much brilliancy
at night and an uprush of hot gas. The
bottom area is 100 feet across, 800
feet down and the ridge summit stands
So feet above the lagoon.
In the Kau desert six miles south
west of Kilauea a lava flow is quietly
pouring out o fthe flank of a lava heap
so feet high through a channel 40 feet
wide and is flowing towards the south,
The flow is now over eight miles long
and changes from smooth lava above
to clinkery lava below. The front is
advancing about a half mile per day,
No such outflow on Kilauea mountain
has occurred since 1868. The present
outbreak began December q, 1919.
The Halemaumau lava has subsid-
ed step by step with the outflow, the
present rate of subsistence being six
feet per day.

Home For Japanese
Girls Fills Need
Is Development Of Patience Of Mr.
And Mrs. Kanda And Maui Aid
Association - Girls Come From
All Parts OF Maui.

There is one Institution in our midst
which is perhaps little known by
many, but which is doing a very need
full piece Of work for the island of
Maui. The Waikiki Japanese Girls
Home grew up around Mr.. and Mrs.
Kanda who several years ago saw the
need and began in a small way to
make a homo for Japanese girls.
AS the work has grown it has come
under the fostering care of the Maui
Aid Association and American friends
have helped to make possible the
grounds, buildings and equipment now
used by the home.
At the esent time the home cares
for G3 girls who come from all parts
of Maui. They are all Maui girls eX-
cept four who come from Kohala. Ha-
wall. These are the districts from
which they come:
Wailuku 4, Waikapu 7, Puunene 5.
Kihei 2, Paia 4, Keahua 8, Peahi 4,
Kailua 9, Makawao 2, Kula 8, Keanae
10, Hama l, Olowalu /, Lahaina 8.
There have been erected upon the
grounds which front Vineyard street
and lao Valley road in upper Waikiki,
two large dormitory buildings-funds
or which have been provided very
largely by the Japanese. The land is
all held by the Maui Aid Association
and has been provided by American
friends of the institution.
At the present time there is great
ly needed a new kitchen and dining
room, as the old one has fallen into
decay and the board of health have
sked that improvements be made.
There was held on Wednesday morn
ing at 1870 at the home a meeting OF
the committee of the Maui Aid Asso-
citation which consists of Miss Turner,
chairman; Mrs. II. A. Baldwin, Mrs.
4. B. Penhallow, Mrs. d. c. Lindsay,
Mrs. s.. A. Baldwin and MIR. Pleasant.
The business Of the meeting had to
do chiefly with plan for the necessary
improvements and as soon. as plans
are perfected it is hoped that funds
may be gathered sufficient to warrant
Going ahead with the building.
Two years ago the committee was
able to secure the service of Miss
LNlith DarcnnC nc nnnriaon urCrlnr in
the home. Miss Parsons was called
to Hawaii to this position in 1918 and
she fills the position %splendidly and
is doing a very fine work there.

PRO-LEACUERS
IT IS INVENTED
Warns That Imperial
Schemes Didn t End
With Germans

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. = Pres
ident Wilson, speaking to a group
of pro-eague Republicans at the
White House today, declared the
'so-called Americanism which we
hear so much prating about now is
spurious and invented for party pur-
poses only"
Appealing for completion of the
great moral achievement" which
he said the war represented, Pres
ident Wilson asserted the war mas
been fought in vain and our inn
mense sacrifices thrown away unless
we complete the work we then be-
gun"
There is only one way to assure
the world of peace and that is by
making it so dangerous to break the
peace that no other nation will have
the audacity to attempt it" he de-
clared.
"The president warned his hear
ers not to be deceived into supposing
that imperialistic schemes ended wi
the defeat of Germany or "that Ger
many is the only nation that enter
tanned such schemes or was moved
by sinister ambitions and long stand
ing jealousy to attack the very
structure of civilization.
In fo~-'al statement issued after
they left the White House, the mem
bers of the delegation said they were
"deeply touched by the physical ap-
pearance of the president. who re-
ceived them sitting and plainly show
ing the effects of his long illness and
the tremendous strain he has been
carrying
"He read from manuscript his re-
ply to the address of the deputation,"
said the statement, "and was gre atty
moved. as he did so. Moce than
once his voice choked. especially
when he referred to the soldier boys
and the mothers of those Who had
fallen in battle. 1t was evident he
was voicing the profoundest enc
tions of his heart. The whole occas-
/ ion was inexpressiblv soiemn and ten
der"
''It was evident the presidents in
tellectual powers are in no way inn
paired" the statement continued,
"but the deputation felt it nothing
less than tragic that great rresi-
dent of the Unitsj States should
have been brought to this stricken
physical condlCion as result of his
indefatigable labor for his country
and for humanity The delegation
said they "feel this might be the
presidents last appeal to the cons
cience of his countrymen in the SUI
preme moral decision they are called
upon to make"
