$4,000 French Die
From Own Artillery

PARIS, Dec. S---(Associated Press
Mail) General Percin, IN 4 book des-
cribing more than 200 battles in
France and Belgium during the late
war, concludes from data collected by
him that $4,000 French soldiers were
killed by their own artillery through
defective liaison.
The losses, he says, were higher by
so percent in the French army than
in the German army. The losses of
the French infantry, he finds, were
comparatively four time greater than
the losses of the artillery. He fixed
the French losses from the enemy's
fire at 100000 killed and wounded.
General Percin was military COVER
nor of the fortress of Lille just after
the outbreak of the war. He evacu-
ated the fortress on orders received
from the government when the Ger
mans approached the frontier and
was, for long time, supposed by the
general public to have evacuated the
place of his own Volition. A lively
controversy between his friends and
adversaries has been going on ever
since as to whether he was badly
treated by the General Staff. He has
severely criticized the conduct of the
war in the field by the French staff.

Fancy Dress Ball
Ushers in Year
Bright and Original Costumes
Add to Beauty and Gayety
of Scene and Annual Event
Is Great Success.

Gayety, fun and high carnival held
full sway in the Territorial Building
Saturday night at the Fancy Dress
Ball of the Maui County Fair and Rae
ing Association. Costumes bright
and gaudy, creations of beauty, and
garbs provocative of merriment and
laughter frightened and leant color to
the scene of the most successful pub
lie social event the Valley Ise has
known. Between $50 and 300 dancers,
enjoyed every moment of the ball.
AS the committee desired it should
be, the ball was started early and did
not draw along into the morning
hours. Practically every one had ar
rived before the grand march was
started at $3.50 and then the judges
had no easy time for the costumes
were attractive and the competition
for the prizes were keen. Mrs. F.. f.
Baldwin was awarded the prize as the
most fancifully dressed lady and J. p.
Foster as shriner received the SINH
lar prize for men. Mrs. ]. T. Moir's
butterfly costume was voted the most
original among the ladies and Frank
Hohlweg the mems prize. He did a
character act as tramp and was so
good that most of his friends did not
recognize him. Mrs. Chatterton and
Mrs. j. R. Paris went as rag dolls, one
as boy and the other as a girl doll
and were awarded prizes Tor the most
comical costumes.
Looking over the dancing floor be-
fore and during the grand march it
was evident that more care and at
tention had been given the designing
and planning Of costumes than last
year and that there were more in
costume and a greater amount of ori-
ginality displayed. To mention the
costumes worthy OF comment would
run the story of the evening INTO
columns.
Several pleasing features were in
troduced by the committee. Noise
makers were distributed at 1880 and
there was almost a scramble to Sc
cure them. At midnight the lights
were dimmed, thera were II strokes
from Il triangle and then out leap a
brilliant electric sign wishing all a
happy New Year. At 12:lo confetti
was distributed and serpenrine
thrown out from the galleries and at
1880 came distribution of balloons
which were taken up in rush. The
hall was artistically decorated not
over profusely under the dil ection of
Mrs. j. T. Fantom, the lighting effects
were arranged by &. Z. Ludil and the
general plan was worked out by Joe
Meinecke.
One o'clock came and the Mary
Hoffman orchestra played one more,
a last, dance and the dancers drifted
homeward happily
