Germany's commerce after the war is to be kept well
within the confines Tof that country, and efforts will be

growing vast commercially as well as in a military way.
vGreat Britain is determined to wage war against her

A prominent French delegate at the big commercial

German troops are fighting vigorously and stubborn

CIIIIIESE GRIEVES
BECAUSE DEATH

Murderer Eager to Die to Pre
vent His Victim From Mak
ing Friends in Other World
LUM DIM is sore, and the chief
cause of his soreness la that
they won't hang him.
Lam la a Chinese man who
killed another qf hislrace over on
Ha waif a good many moons ago,
and tor quite-a time now he haa
been ieetns the ; light through
the steel bars of the territorial
prison. Lum wanta to die.
-What the matter, you fel
lows?" he says each day to Sher
iff William Jarrett. "Too long
you wait and no kill me. No good."
Lum Dim tells the prison offi
cials that he wants to be getting
on. In that land where the
wicked cease from troubling he
believes his enemy the man he
killed Is making friends. And the
murderer fears that these friends
will keep increasing and will
make it hard for him when he
arrive alone.
"Long time now I stop here and
you no kill me," he confides to
the jailer, adding that in the night
time strange visions' come to
trouble his dreams, warning him
of the pillkia he may expect
across the river unless he makes
the trip soon.
It is not likely that they will
grant Lum Dim his wish; more
likely that he will be adjudged in
sane, for only insane men make
such requests and have such vi
sions as are his, the authorities
say.

ASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 28.
Secretary of State Lansing to
day despatched a reply to Pope
Benedict's peace proposals, which His
Holiness recently forwarded to the
rovernmenta of the belligerent na
tions. The ndte was forwarded
through the British foreign office.
It Is understood the communication
treats the proposals with delicacy and
respect.
It declares there are no grounds
for peace In the absence of Germany's
terms. It is understood the replies
of the Entente powers are ready for
transmission, there having been an ex
change of views between the differ

MAY DE CALLED

THAT the war department may caU
Within the. nexvie.reeka ajhjV
gade of Infantry from the Hawaii
an department, Is held by persona more
or less Interested in the situation as
something not: merely possible ' but
quite probable as well.
Rumors that the 25th Infantry will
be called 'from here before the war
situation has progressed much farther
have, spread to include at least two
other regiments the 1st and 32nd or
the 1st and 2nd. No confirmation of
the reports that such a call may be
expected can be secured at depart
ment headquarters and it is not un
likely that officers here are much in
the dark as to any plans that may
be in progress.
However, the army here is not in
active, according to a number of re
ports, and troops will be ready to de
part soon after orders are issued. Ac
cording to a statement today on the
street families of officers at Fort
Shatter are disposing of property that
they would be unable to take with
them to the mainland.
It is also reported that some of
the Schofleld regiments have been
given orders to pack up all surplus
equipment ready ror sailing at a mo
ment's notice.
Persons who keep in touch with
military affairs believe that the in
struction announced yesterday by Gov.
Pinkham to accept enlistments from
married men where their means of
support in time of active servicl
would be ample to care for their fam
ilies indicate the Intention to call out
the Hawaii guard Tor home protection,
relieving regular troops for duty in
nance.
They also say that the army re
ceived here from the draft will prob
ably be called to the mainland as a
part of the new national army. As
to that, however, one guess is as good
ac another.
Uncle Sam's soldiers on Oabu are
being given constant and Intensive
training; this is definite. If their
work with bayonet dummies, hand
grenades and trench shovels is only
a form of physical culture, thev are
getting a generous supply of ,lt Thus
ithe dopesters argue and are confident
