Not only Is their generosity to be commended, but the manner and spirit In which they meet the requests of this noble cause gives heart to those engaged in the work.

On Friday of last week, a couple of Red Cross workers canvassed a portion of the business district of thia generous city for "any thing" thit could be turned into money for the benefit of suffering humanity, and before they had covered a third of the territory they had intended covering they were literally swamped with saleable goods, and promises of mors if needed. Generosity personified Is the only fitting expression to be used In behalf of the merchants of this city. TOM MERLE. building.

P. AGEE Chairman Agricultural Committee. Territorial Fair The big thing about the Territorial Fair is that it will have a direct appeal to every man, woman and child in the islands.

We have always been an agricultural community; our population has always been directly or indirectly dependent upon the soil, but the Indirect part of it has ceased. me war has changed all that. Today, people who have never put a hoe to the land work war gardens in their back yards. School children have school gardens. Plantation laborers who never had to do with anything but cane are practicing diversified agriculture about their homes.

Sugar corporations are finding ways and means of producing all or part of their stock feeds. Much of this has been a new enterprise for those who have undertaken it, and after a years experience the fair will serve as a clearing house to exchange that experience. It will rrove an eye-opener to some who have been struggling with this or that crop to find what a succss someone else has made of it. They will not only see the products of this success, but they will learn the methods by which it was attained. have stood and fought with the men from Wales, from Ireland, from Australia, from Canada, from Africa, from Hawaii.

Wo intend to keep up the drive to a goal of 100 per cent efficiency if possible. KB EN LOW: The fact that, the public market is flooded shows that the fishermen stand ready to do the right thing by the public and the food administration. If the good weather continues there should be ample fish in the market.

the poilus have been lighting, too, 'as they fought focd. As a war measure production goes hand in hand with conservation and the fair will emphasize this point. It is not enough to srsve the food that others produce. We must increase the supply ourselves. And if you know our climate, our so'L and our people, and yet question the part we can play in food production, the war fair in June will lay your doubts aside, for there you will see a splendid array of island produce.

These exhibits will come from the largest plantations and from the smallest back yard gardens, and those who haven't engaged in food production will be inspired to do so, and those who have will learn how to produce more and better products. And that is the object of the war-time fair. with unshakable will at Verdun ander the words of fire the Germans can never forget "They shall not pass." And if reports are correct, American regiments I VITAL STATISTICS 1 COUNTRY CLUB CHEERS WHEN NEWS COMES OF CANADIAN OFFENSIVE Weeks ago, Frank H. Simonds foretold the present German offensive. His prediction is contained in the March issue of the Review of Reviews, and also the prediction that even if the Germans should win, the campaign would merely be prolonged a year or two more, with final victory for the Allies.

Simond's forecast corresponds so close to what apparently is happening that it is worth reproducing: The German military party, which is in practically undisputed control, means to attempt one more offensive, the most gigantic of all and the greatest mili-. tary gamble since Napoleon went to Moscow. If it should succeed then there will be a campaign of 1919 and perhaps of 1920. Any German victory, large or small, this spring and summer would mean a prolongation of the war, because it would mean an extension of the time in which the German military party would remain in control of Germany. If America should' now lessen her preparations, slow down her effort, any German victory this year might be expanded next year into a final triumph.

We are the last reserve of the Allies and of civilization. We must be ready when the hour comes and the hour may come. If we slacken our pace even a German defeat this year may not prove the end of the war, but it seems to me, save for the possibility of a considerable success by the Germans in the next campaign or a failure on our part to do all that we can possibly do, the coming campaign will be the last. And I see no reason to believe that the Germans will win any victory or, indeed, do better than they did at Verdun, which was for them one of the greatest defeats of military history. Recent events have served to teach millions of Englishmen and Frenchmen the truth about the world situation, to prove to them that th5y are fighting and must fight the German ambition to seize territories or enslave peoples.

The war has cojne down to the naked question of greed against self-defense. And in such a combat I believe the French will fight again as they fought at the Marne and at Verdun, the British as they fought at First Ypres. We are, it seems to me, bound to have one more great militarr crisis, as great as that of the Marne, perhaps, although the Germans will have no such odds ia their favor in the spring as they had in the autumn of 1914. But if the Allied lines hold, if the Allied peoples behind the lines stands firm, then it seems to me the' last great campaign of the war will be over. I do not believe the German army or the German people have the strength or the spirit to make more than one further assault like the two of other years which were repulsed.

If Germany is defeated in her next attack we shall have a real German proposal for peace, a proposal based upon tLe peace map of 1914, not the war map of 1916 1917. It will not be satisfactory; it may not even be a basis for negotiation, although I believe it may be, but it will be a proposal honestly made; that is, it will be unlike the previous proposals which were made to disarm the enemy and deceive German people, it will not demand conquered territory; it will not be, accompanied by the familiar threats. All the reports from the western front indicate that the Allied forces are standing np under the German and retain considerable reserves for counter-attacks when the generals deem it time to launch their own thunderbolts.

Hearty cheers three huzzas and another three rang out at the Country Club yesterday when a Star-Bulletin extra arrived bringing the news that the Canadians had struck at the Germans on the Lens sector In a tremendous gas attack.

What does this mean to the millions of people "at home" whether that home be in Yorkshire or Cork or Glasgow or Marseille or New York or Wan Francisco or Ilonolulu? It means that Germany is making the greatest and strongest of all her multitude of bids for victory. It means that Germany and her associates still retain stupendous driving-power and are concentrating that power with a furious rage that will make any sacrifice of blood to attain its objective. It means that Germany is an unbeaten foe hard-pressed and staggering from the three years and a half of war but not yet beaten. It means that the Allies and the United States must redouble their efforts. It specifically that we have before us a task whose seriousness must not be underestimated.

ROSARIO In Honolulu. March 22, NOTICE TO GIRL SCOUTS RICHARD H. TRENT, Pres. I. H.

BEADLE, Sec'y. CJHAS G. HEISER, Treas. liiMi" Itu mm 'm wy" 1 wmm wm aB mwl -iH i i -mm mi HIP up pm i The Third Liberty Loan The first anniversary of the United States' entry in to the war as an active belligerent is to be characterized and emphasized by the launching of the third Liberty Loan. April fi will be a remarkable day, an extraordinary day in the annals of our history.

On that day we shall sanctify anew our loyalty, our patriotism, our devotion and shall further support our unshaken belief in our country and the principles for vhich it is lighting. Although we here in Hawaii have not received ''baptism of fire," we have had those returned to us crippled and maimed for life and we have wakened to the rense of it all. We have had a closer view of all war's horrors. We have seen in the distance the greedy raids of the war god. We are conversant with the magniture of its demands upon our resources.

We have seen the destruction and desolation that follows in its wake. This world-wide war madness must be curbed, effectively and for all time, but such an undertaking can be accomplished only by a force of arms, strengthened, backed and supported by patriotism that goes clear to the core. It matters not the amount called for; it will be raised, and raised with a "hip and hurrah." And if this coming Liberty Loan does not realize enough to "carry through," we will have another. The date is set April Sixth. Let every lover of liberty make a loan to this government.

We want a Hundred Ter Cent record. What's the Matter? And nov' comes the claim that the bakers cant keep up the "banana bread movement" because the growers are shipping their best fruit out of the territory, or somehow are failing to get it to market. The people of the community were called upon us a patriotic duty to "eat bananas" to help save the industry, and to help build up a flour substitute. The response was remarkable. Fart of it was due to the supposed assurance that there would be available for the local market the best bananas to be Lad, at a moderate price, making banana bread feasible.

The banana propaganda committee did notably ood work. Its attention may be needed again to wk that the banana growers live up to their end of the moral bargain. Honolulu is in no mood to stand for mishandling of the banana business built np in response to a patriotic call. While putting an embargo on imports from other rountries, whv not include the wild-eyed and long-L; nnnrehista who arc trying to foment strife Owing to a congested state of shipping, the handbooks from New York are very late In arriving. It is therefore suggested that scouts lend their books to those interested, and that strangers ask for the handbooks at the library, these books not to be taken from the building As published in the Star-Bulletin extra yesterday, Maui businessmen have declared for territory-wide prohibition.

They are fully alive to the disadvantages of the "dry Oahu" measure so far as other islands are concerned, and they are also fully alive to the need of saving the foodstuffs which now go into the manufacture of booze in the islands. -Maui does not want to become the dumping-ground for Honolulu's "wine-bums' nor does Maui want raw materials made up into intoxicants when they might be made up into food. The action of the Maui men is very much to the point and will have its effect in making certain the passage of the Kuhio-Sha froth bill in Congress. 1 1918, Mary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
