Place Capitol grounds.
All is la readiness for the Commun
ity Christmas tree which the 500 wo
men who compose the personnel of
the Outdoor Circle, are siring to the
-, city of Honolulu tonight as their Yule-
tide offering. The great growing erer
green, with roots firmly embedded in
the soil, 'emblematical of the spirit' of
Christmas which will neTer die as
.. leng as men lire and love and serve
end sacrifice, it strung with scores of
. lights ready t i minute's notice to
spring Into its joyous bloom of light
The bleachers are, in place ready for
the seating of the. great chorus, all
the properties for the staging df the
tableaux, of the nativity are in read!
" osbs and it is expected that a record
breaking crowd will this evening as
. semble in the capitol grounds, and up-
on the adjacent streets to participate
in this al fresco service of song. The
singers are meeting early at places
designated by their leaders so that all
will be in their places long before the
.' appointed hour of 8, when the first
-carol will be sung.
With Madame ElUn Beach Yaw, the
: noted prima donna, as a soloist for the
opening number nothing remains to
be added to the program to make it
. perfect and if the weather stays fine
a record: crowd should. assemble to
night at the capitol grounds. ,
Captain Henri Berger. for four de
cades the leader of the Hawaiian
band, has been accorded the honor of
leading the band this evening for the
"two solos, respectively by Mrs. C. L.
Hall and Mr. , Reynold McGrew. , This
ii the first big Community Christmas
tree and chorus the city -of Honolulu
has ever had, and all feel It appro
priate that this veteran leader should
have this especial part In the program
for which he has arranged . all the
band music
A special collection which W. R.
, Farrlngton look up from the hutlnesa
men of the city aggregating $75, as
payment - to the band for playing on
their - holiday, is the. only . outside fi
nancial assistance which - the . club
has had In putting on this, program ;
-V? Three hundred-, dollars was. raised
, tor the affair by the matinee musical
given in the Young ? roof garden,
wjille the additional gift of f 100 from
member has provided ample funds
-to pay for the lighting of the tree and
grounds, the .special ; lighting . for the
capitol, the printing of music, moving
:'ot blechers, etc '., ' - '"
in who have had the ' affair' in
charge have worked long'. and persist-
vently towards its ultimate success but
j none more than to Mr. and Mrs. Rog
er Noble Burnham, are thanks due for
jthe timely help which they have given
in arranging and. staging, the tableaus.
' The Outdoor Circle feels that it owes
"a deep debt of gratitude to this talent
ed couple who, out of their own busy
lives, have taken time to give of the
richness of their ability and technical
knowledge to produce amid rather in
adequate surrounding these ?beauti
tal tableaus, Tneclub" Is also indebt

park on the nearby streets, while
there will be plenty of room within
the grounds for all pedestrians who
come. It Is a matter of regret that it
was not possible to provide seata for
the guests but that was quite impos
sible. It is urged that all bring the
words of the songs which they have
cut out from the daily papers in whicr.
the carolt to be sung by the crowd
have been published, and all are urg
ed to sing. People of every race and
color are invited to attend and the
more that come, the more deeply will
the Outdoor Circle feel that its gift of
light and music has been worth while.
WAILIl) ENJOYS
WAILUKU,. Dec. 21. The crowl
that filled the armory to overflowing
was proof that the first Wailuku
Community Christmas tree was a great
success. Even the original plans of
the first committee did not call for so
many children as . were present.
When, however, it was generously ar
ranged that the Walkapu, Waiehu and
Walhee children should also have a
part in the merriment, the amount of
candy and apples was at once in
creased to 1600 bags.
The Salvation Army band began the
program with, one number, then "Si
lent Night" was sung by allx those
present, ,. This carol and those that
were sung afterward bad .been .prac
tised in all the schools and many of
the .churches or Wailuku in prepara
tion for the event. A choir of some
twenty voices," with . Charles N. Luf
kin playing the cornet, led. The choir
sang 'Noel. "Away, in a Manger was
the net carol. Following this W. F.
Crockett spoke In behalf of the ' Red
Cross drive. . "O Come All Ye Faitb
ful'. was i sung ; by the people. One
number, was rendered by the band and
the program closed with "America."
Santa Claus finished up the fun for
the little people.: .'.Ensign Puck, L. R.
Mathews and Miss Gertrude Judd
were the committee in charge. They
were assisted by a large .number of
those interested, byr Joel B. Cox, who
took charge of the tree; by the police
man "who assisted with the care of the
children' and by the Boy Scouts wh.

"Although the regents have left en
tirely in my hands the question of re
taining or dispensing with the ser
vices of Miss Heuer and Miss Mat
thews, I can see no reason at this
time why they should not be kept as
instructors at the College of Hawaii."
said Dr. A. L. Dean Saturday. "If
the occasion should arise I certainly
should use my prerogative but there
is no cause this time.
"Miss Heuer has been an efficient
and loyal teacher at the college and
there is no evidence that she has
done anything to influence the stud
ents or give aid and comfort to the
enemy. When any such evidence
comes t& light it will be time enough
to act."
, Dr. Dean said that he had no com
ments to make on the interview giveu
by Miss Heuer to the morning paper
Saturday, as he had not spoken to her
concerning it, but a cursory examina
tion did not show anything to-which
exception might be taken.
ROBS STORE To'gET
MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS TO FRIENDS
imbued with the spirit of Christ
mas, and anxious to give his play
mates a Yuletide remembrance, a Ha.
waiian boy, 9 or 10 years old, entered
a second-hand store owned by a Japa
nese, stole a key and passed on to
the living apartment, where he un
locked a bureau drawer and stole $15j
He then had the money cnangea into
silver and, after spending most of it
for candy, pie and other things to
eat, distributed the remainder among
his friends, giving each a silver dollar.
In juvenile court Saturday the
youngster broke down and cried, and
his mother also wept, declaring she
didn't want her son sent to the re
form school. So the Japanese, who
owns the second-hand store, relented
and said he wouldn't press the charge,
as it was Christmas..
The mother said she. would try and
pay back to the Japanese.
GERMAN PRISONERS ;
WANT TO COME HERE;
"NOT WANTED" HALTON
How the attractions of Hawaii have
traveled over the land is shown by a
letter received by.'. the Promotion Com
mittee from two German prisoners ot
war now held at Morrissey, : B. C
Canada, who write that they1 wish to
come here.' They are Ernest 'Peters
and Harry Kopfka, p.o.w. 237 and 2S2,
but the letter written Jn reply by Pv
J. Halton, . secretary, "intimates tha;
they are not desired here at this time
The letter from the two prisoners,
which had been thoroughly- censored:
says: -
"Would you kindly send :;us pros
pects, etc., about the soutnfea islands
and Immigration thereof; '
. "We have the notion to possibly Im
migrate if the chances. for.. such cn
undertaking prove to be favorable.
"Please, answer by "return. .mall and
give us -a full account as to how to get
about to complete this proposition."

MERRY CHRISTMAS GREETING
TO HONOLULU FROM THE ARMY
Co. K, 2nd Infantry. Fort ShaXter.
: Honolulu. H. T- Dec 24.
IT1ZENS OF HONOLULU, who
Lthe military service, permit one cf
Star-Bulletin, to wish you a Merry
first Christmas ith you. ror all
last.
If there have been mutual criticisms, let us forget them with the tol
erant and kindly spirit that should, especially at this time, pervade every
Christian community. We know our sins are many. Often we have drunk
too much liquor which civilians have
done scandalous and disgraceful things, as is the habit of men when drunk.
whether in or out of the army. A
gressed in other ways, with less
pay the full penaltyl
Some of you have, without discrimination, condemned us all for the
shortcomings of a few. We may have thoughtlessly questioned your pa
triotism, because of a few able-bodied men. idr.v seeking their pleasure or
clinging too tenaciously to their business of money making. Let us forget-But
especially since our country entered the Great War. many of you
have exerted every effort to make us feel at home here. You now disre
gard our uniform and judge us as you do civilians, irrespective of our
c'othes. That is as it should be. That is all we ask. Some of your men
now view us as our fathers did, with ill-concealed approval, your women
meet-us unafraid and graciously, your children Btare admiringly.
We have come far and may yet go farther, but your kindness will be
long remembered. It has helped us retain, in this far-away meeting place
of the races, the feeling that we are still men and soldiers of the United
Stales.
That you may know that soldiers appreciate and remember, again, to
each and all of you, sincerest Christmas Greetings!
PVT. GLENN E. HOOVER.

JUDGE ALLOWS BOY $2 .
A WEEK OUT OF WAGES
Because he was earning 49 a week
and forced to use it to support six
relatives, including his parents, a
young Russian boy appealed to Judge
W. H. Heen Saturday and said he
thought he should be allowed to keep
his own mpney. He said he turned his
wages over to his mother and .that
she allowed him 50 cents a week.
The youngster, who is somewhat of
an artist, recently spent $2 for a cor
respondence course in designing, and
his parents promptly kicked him out
of the house for several days. Judge
Heen smoothed things over by telling
the bov to keeD two dollars of
wages each week and give the rest
to his mother.
Whereupon the lad responded: "Yes,
sir. I am your caddie at the Chevy
Chase Club." Puck.
