NUMBER 914 EIGHTEENTH YEAR BAPTISMAL FONT WAS DEDICATED Large Audience Assemble For The Final Service Of Dedication At Makawao Union Church SINGING WAS FEATURE OF SERVICES Baptismal Font Presented By The Many Hawaiian And Japanese Friends Of H. P. Baldwin A large and appreciative audience, assembled on laBt Sunday at the Ma kawao Union Church. The occasion was the dedication of the Baptismal font of the church, which had been presented by the former close Haw aiian and Japanese associates of the late Henry P. Baldwin. Addresses were made in Hawaiian by Wm. H. Rice of Llhue, Rev. Stephen L. Desha, of HUo, Rev. David K. White, of Lahalna, and Rev. John P. Erdman of Honolulu. The remarks of Mr. Desha were rendered into English by Mr. Erdman, and Rev. Scudder's mes sage was also In that language. It would be hard to decide which of the choirs was the best, for all of five choirs represented, rendered their selections with much fervor and show ed considerable preparation and good training. Especially melodious, how ever, were the "Hear Our Prayer, O Father," and the response following the benediction, sung by the Molokat Choir, and the anthem "Jerusalem, f My Glorious Home", by the Paia choir. The joint collections of the two ded icatory sevlces amounted to a little over one thousand dollars, and will be given to the Hawaiian Board and ttie Armenian Relief funds.

School Session Begins Official List Of Teachers Last Monday morning, the early morning run from Haiku to Wailuku by auto was a more than usually pleasant one. Evidently the young idea had begun to stir early, for all along the way, at each settlement passed through, the roadsides were dotted with important small persons, all freshly starched and combed and washed, needless to say, of all nat ionalities and ages. The thing that remained common to all was the chatter, bright smiles and the general air of anticipation which pervaded each group, as they proceeded on their way to renew, or in some cases to begin, their acquisition of the learn ing which Uncle Sam dispenses to all resident in his domain. Those upon whom will devolve the duty of elucida tion, in the official list, received this week from Superintendent Kinney, Kinney, are the following: ISLAND OF MAUI Kahakuloa: L. K. Kaalouahi.

The Star-Bulletin ha3 demanded a jury trial. Star-Bulletin. All the Russians in the Hawaiian Islands, who have been waiting for the orders to return to Russia, will now have to apply direct to the Special Delegate, Mr. Trautshold, who is sent for the purpose from Harbin by the Russian Government, and who is ex pected to arrive in Honolulu on the "Nippon Maru," due September 14. DR. A. MAItQUES, Vice-Consul of Russia. 8 Judging from the way the Wailuku women are taking hold, the Red Cross work accomplished by them will be a good proportion of the work done on the island. With their second meet ing double in attendance, the third meeting will be even larger, for now the ladies understand that their own sense of patriotism and willingness to serve whenever and wherever possible in this noble cause is the only invitation needed and that all workers are welcome and the work Is in pressing need. BIG TIME PROMISED T0VISIT0RS Delegates To Civic Convention Are Assured Good Time In And Around Honolulu TO VISIT THE TRAINING CAMP Union Church Services Will Be Held , At Central Union Church On Sunday Morning On Saturday morning, in Honolulu, all delegates to the Civic Convention are supposed to be on hand for the big doings planned in that city, to occur on Sunday, Monday, and Tues day, Sept. 16, 17, and 18th. They are asked to proceed to the Promotion Committee rooms in the Young build ing, at once upon arrival to register and receive all necessary credentials, tickets and badges. The program as first arranged has been altered as will appear in the following communication; 'Instead of a trip around the isl and on Sunday, September 16, for visiting delegates to the coming Civic Convention, and their relatives, the central committee proposes to substi tute a run to Halelwa, with a side trip to the officers training camp at Scho- field Barracks on the way home. The plain truth is that there are stretches of the road around the isl and on the windward side so rough that many owners of automobiles were not willing to lend their cars. The late legislature assigned half a million dollars from the proceeds of the sale of the territorial bonds to build a concrete road through these sloughs, sand pits and gullies, but the bonds have not been sold and the road remains what it was. In any event construction could not have been com menced for some months. Having told the truth and shamed the devil, the committee has the vir tuous satisfaction of feeling that it is rather better off than before. Unques tionably the most interesting sight the Islands have to show their own, citizens just now is the officers train ing camp. Those who live in Hono lulu have a standing opportunity to visit i.t but for many of the delegates from Maui, Hawaii and Kauai their trip to the convention is the only chance they will have before the camp closes to see their friends and rela tives in training. As originally planned the trip around the island would not have left time for a visit to the training camp Making the shorter run to Haleiwa and return there will be ample time J. Ashman Beaven was named a com mittee of one to perfect arrangements with Capt. Elvln Hunt, in command of the camp, and Raymond C. Brown, chairman of the committee, will con fer with department headquarters. Cars will leave for Haleiwa be tween nine and ten o'clock Sunday morning assuring an early arrival for luncheon, which will be served from noon to two o'clock. The Royal Haw aiian Band will play while the guests are at table and afterward, if they choose they may take the glass bot torn launches for a view of the marine gardens in the bay. Sunday evening the delegates will meet as a body for the first time at Union services to be held in the Cen tral Union Church. The Rev. David Carey Peters, pastor of the Christian .church will be in charge of the ser vice." 8 IN HONOR OF A MAUI VISITOR Mrs. John Fleming was a luncheon hostess on Tuesday of this week in honor of her sister-in-law, Mrs. H. W, Baldwin, who was her house-guest during the polo season. Those invited to meet Mrs. Baldwin were Mrs. Bee man of Maui, Mrs. Benjamin Edger Mrs. James F. Morgan, Mrs. Austen Mrs. Richard Quinn, Mrs. C. G. Doc kus and Miss Letitia Morgan. Star- Bulletin.

Telling the story of how the late Lieutenant won his V. C, a Sergeant of the regiment said, "Without exception, Lieutenant Mac kintosh was the bravest officer who ever led men into action. Had it not been for his bravery and self-sacrifice under great difficulty we would have been wiped out completely that day, As soon as we went over it began to rain shells, and as for machine-gun bullets there were enough flying around to give every man of us a round dozen and still have plenty for the next comers. We had just got In to our stride when the Lieutenant who now commanded the company was hit He went down and the men hesitated He i houted from where he lay, 'Never mind, Seaforths; Keep it up!" then he got to his feet and though he was in reai pain, he persisted in hobbling towaids the position we had to take. led us straight f; tie enemy pa .'.pet, f nd with the a .sistance of two p.-f a!.s he sot into ihr trench. The iv.emy v-ere iorced back rut returned to the attack later driving before them a company of ours which had lost its officers and were out of hand The Lieutenant took it in hand and tinder d;s leadership the men got bad: their confidence, repelling repeated enemy en nter attacks, fnd gradually making the position as secure as it could be.
