OF ABSENT MEN
SAN FRANCISCO.—More than
6,000 families of soldiers and sailors
in the Pacific Division, have been
served by Home Service committees
in Red Cross chapters. This work
has been of a confidential nature
and details of the service rendered
will remain a story written only in
the hearts of grateful wives and
familes of soldiers and others whose
homes have been stricken by dis
aster not related to war conditions.
One open page of the work of
the Home Service section now car
ries an exhaustive story of what
the Red Cross did during the Span
ish influenza epidemic. This work
was distributed throughout the
three states in the Pacific division.
As the end of the epidemic has not
yet come, statistics showing how
Red Cross chapters handled the
situation, and how many nurses
were used are not available.
Local calls for aid which the
Home Service answered during the
year came from several towns that
have suffered small conflagrations.
In the earthquake at Hemet and
San Jacinto, Red Cross aid was
given to only a few families as a
generous fund donated by the Cham
bers of Commerce all over the state
for the restoration of property was
sufficient for all relief purposes.
All but 12 chapters out of 168
in the division are maintaining
Home Service work. Since Janu
ary of this year, an average of
15,196 families have been cared for
each month at an averge cost of
$22,364.84 monthly. The report on
file in the division office shows
6,98f> families receiving aid during
October at a cost of $32,416.81.
i With the coming of peace, work
I in the Homes Service section will
continue to grow until the soldier
and his family are both readjusted
to the conditions which accompany
his return into civilian life.

QUICK WITTED LEADER
STOPS HONOLULU RIOT
HONOLULU.—The quick wit of
! the leader of a Marine Corps band
' prevented what promised to become
| a serious riot at Molili field re
jcently. Football teams representing
I the Marine Corps and the Hawaiian
I Infantry were playing when their
j partisans descended from argument
'to fisticuffs and the battling was
J growing general on the field when
| the band leader started The Star
I Spangled Banner.
Right swings and left uppercuts
: were left uncompleted as each
marine and soldier came instantly
to salute and stood at attention while
I the national anthem was played.
There was no further disorder.

HONOLULU PLANS
TRADE STIMULANT
HONOLULU.—The Pan-Pacifie
Union, organized to promote friend
ship and better trade relations be
tween the nations surrounding the
Pacific ocean and to accomplish for
them what the Pan-American Union
has done for the republics of the
two American continents, is laying
plans for a Pan-Pacific congress of
Chambers of Congress to be held in
Honolulu in 1920.
A Japanese trade commission
headed by R. Yamashina, vice-presi
dent of the Tokio Chamber of Com
merce, which passed through here
recently for a tour of the United
States and South America, agreed
to do everything possible during its
travels to stimulate interest in the
projected congress.
Organizers of the Pan-Pacific
Union, prominent among whom are
its president, C. J. McCarthy, gov
ernor of the Territory of Hawaii,
and Frank C. Atherton and Alex
ander Hume Ford, of Honolulu,
hope in time to have the govern
ments of the nations of the Pacific
take over its administration.
President Wilson ha~ been-in"
augurated as honorary president of
the union. A note of internation
alism has been struck by the elec
tion also as honorary presidents of
Premier William Hughes of Aus
tralia, and Premier W. F. Massey
of New Zealand. Both have ac
cepted and signified their intention
of promoting the objects of the
union in all possible ways.
The president of China also has
been elected an honorary president
and an emissary is now on his way
to Peking to engage his interest and
support. Prominent Japanese are
co-operating.
Mr. Ford is confident that every
nation bordering on the Pacific
will be represented at the congress
here in 1920. The premiers of
Australia and New Zealand have al
ready promised to attend in person.
Support for the congress has been
pledged by the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce and the International
Pacific Chamber of Commerce, the
latter comprising commercial bodies
in the Pacific Northwest and Brit
ish Columbia.
