SEARCHING THE RUINS
The work of recovering the bodies
was begun at 4:3O o'clock. The ruins
were vet smouldering and the steaming
heat prevented the fremen from prose-
cutting their work long at time. The
first body was taken out at $50
o'clock, charred stump bearing no re-
semblance to human form. Another
was found fifteen minutes later and at
frequent intervals until eight had been
recovered At the approach of night
the work was discontinued on account
of the dangerous condition of the ruins

Marie Antoinette's Piecrust.

Somebody has found out that Marie
Antoinettes famous speech to the effect
that rather than starve she would eat
piecrust, which has been variously per
verted into "pastry" or go to the pastry
cook" and the Ike, was not such a
senseless one as history has accrt dited
it with being. 1t was the practice, it
seems, of some Of the French Pc ,santry
to bake their meat pies in a sort OF
crust of shell made of sawdust and
water. This was discarded when the
dish was done, but had some nutrition
from the juices which it absorbed. 1t
was this "piecrust," usually regarded as
an UNBEATABLE, to which she referred.
And it may be added that the food
scientists of the present day are dis.
covering that the cellulose or woody
fiber, practically sawdust, which is
present in some food substances, and
which is supposed to have been worth

form in digestion which is not unim

THE STRATEGIC PROBLEM

The New York Woyid is very weak
in its article on the strategic importance
of these Islands to the United States.
Hawaii lies more than two thousand
miles from our nearest coast says that
remarkable journal, 'or about as far
away as Ireland England has never
yet bombarded US from the Irish head
lands, nor has her military control Of
Ireland ever. been regarded by our
strategists as a source Of danger to us,
Indeed, England occupies islands that
are really very near to us--the BAHIA
mas, for eXample-and the fact does
not appal US. Worse still, she holds
the whole continent Immediately north
of US, with only an imaginary line for
boundary over a large part of the
distance between the two oceans. Yet
the Republic survives. The assumption
that foreign possession Of Hawaii would
be a military disadvantage to US is pure
fudge"
As a matter of fact Ireland is nearer
three thousand than two thousand
miles from the American scaboard. and
the fact that it is part of the military
territory Of Great Britain gives 1t the
same importance to "our strateglsts"
that inheres to the British Isles gener-
ally. If these did not count in the
sum of defensive calculation in the
United States, then the WOrld'S argu-
ment would be correct. But as they
do, Ireland, as an English naval and
military depot, must be regarded as an
important factor in any plan which
Great Britain may some day make to
levy war on the Western republic.
1t is mere sophistry in the Worid t.
say that the British possession Of the
Bahamas and of Canada is not a source
of peril to the United States. When
those coigns of vantage were filled with
English troops after the Trent affair
during the civil war, the pc Pile of the
United States were menaCed at their
own doors. The republic, indeed,
Survived" but that was due to Mr.
Stewards diplomacy and not to any
harmless properties involved in the
British outposts on the American
frontiers Had war ensued the people

were in civil strife, would have had

SOME FATAL ADMISSIONS.


One of the anonymice that write fer
an evening Royallst paper addresses
this piece Of information to the STAR {;
"The Queen has not given them
(the natives) any assurance of her re-
turn to lolani palace. She has not
made any prophecies or pledges, nor
has she caused any disappointments.
As early as last March the California
papers reported, on the authority OF
Francis Gay that the eX-Queen had
told him that she would be restored.
-Four months ago the same prophecy
was said to have been impaired to a
native leader Of Maui whose name was
printed at the time Within three
weeks the late sovereign has been held
to have expressed like confidence to
an old-time friend, as per facts related
in the public prints. For over six
months both her press organs and her
familiar Cronies have teemed with pre-
diction of an early return of the mon.
archy, fixing as many as twenty.four
dates for that event.
However, the STAR would be glad
to be convinced that its annonymou,
informant tells the truth. If the eX
Queen has made no predictions as &c
her -enthronement then the deludeC
natives have an account to settle with
her friends. Time and again these
people have represented that the late
sovereign had positive assurances o
her early recall to Iolani and as {
result many natives have been kept III
line for her who otherwise would have
joined the Annexation Club. Is it true
that they have been lied to all this
time? Is it fact that these restoration
yarns which the ex-Courtiers have attrib-
uted to Liiuokalani herself were in
ventions of their own, without anything
in them but peanut politics and a
nebulous hope? Assuming that, what
must the natives think of the good faitf
and honor Of their selfConstituteC
leaders and advisers-men who have
made rainbow chaSerS of them
Let US hope that the Bulletins cor
respondent knows what he is talking
about for once in his life and that the
ex-Queen is responsible for none of the
laundering divnations which are sent
about in her name

"e 'mption," say, The World,
with uncommo, ignorance and con.
ceit, that toreig' possession of Ha-
wali would be mi tary disadvantage

possession of Heligu-,d no military

What effect has the Union Jack over
Gibraltar upon Spain? Is a fortified
outpost e a possible enemy Of no i'm
portance to the nation within or near
whose lines of defense strategy II IS
located?
The value of Hawaii to England in
the event of war with America is sim.
ply this Assuming that the British
troops would be driven out of Canada
at an expense of some hundreds Of
millions of dollars and thousands @
lives, they would have, in this group
another point of vantage from which
they might not be dislodged at all
Behind the fortified headlands Of Oaht
and Hawaii they could recruit energy
repair damage, collect and organize re
endorsements and direct war against thu
western American coast and its sea
going commerce. The damage the,
would do and the defensive expense
they would create could not help Blu
make Hawaii a verita BILE scourge to thu
United States while the war lasted.
On the other hand, If the United
States had these Islands, England
after evlcuatlng Canada, would have
no base of supplies from which tc
operate on the cities of California
Oregon and the Sound nearer thai
China and Australia. Herein the coal
ing problem would fetter British nava
energies, and no serviceable blockad
could be carried on. SO secure woult
Western America then be from nava
attack that nearly all the defensiv
forces Of the Republic could be cor
centrated on the Atlantic seabosrds
We must assume that the World ap
preciates these facts and the logic be
hind them. That newspaper is not ST
big fool as it looks In the Hawaiian
case it simply feels that it must sa
something, no matter what, to discredi
the patriotic policy Of the last Repub
lican executive.

THERE is no reason, inherent in this
soil and climate, why any staple fruit
or vegetable which Hawaiians eat,
should be imported from California
and Australia Altitude having the
climatic effect Of latitude, permits the
growth on our mountain sides of nearly
all the products which are natural to
the temperate zone. There is no serse

onions, cauliflower, squash and celery;
