THE WAR CONDITIONS.

If one will measure the track from
Moscow te Port Arthur he viii find
that the route is as long as from To-
ronto to Cape Horn.
To adequately guard such railroad
as that from the attacks of japanese
or of men in Japanese pay, would re-
auire an army as large as the one
Russia is said to have in Manchnrla
now.
Much ia urged about Russia's numer-
zeal superiority TO Japan. But It is
only the part of her strength which
a slender railroad line, over 1000 miles
long. can bring to bear in Manchurla
that counts; that is assuming Russia
cannot regain the mastery of the sea.
If the moderate efficiency of the rail-
road system should be impaired by acts
of war. Japan would have a distinct
numerical advantage where she needed
it one to be maintained as long as the
railroad could be kept from repair

where the Vladivostok branch con-
meets with the main line. The force

said about this army in the dispatches.
evidently to divert the minds of the
Russians from the movements of the
Second Army which may, at any time
land somewhere near Port Arthur.
That things are going wrong for
Russia all along the horizon accounts
for the talk at ST. Petersburg of re- /
calling Alexieff and dividing land and
sea command between Kuropatkin and
Korea. for the possession of which /

OF the northern boundary and no great

THE INDOOR DAMpNEsS.

The torrential rains have shown,
among other things, that a fireplace is
not always a superfuous fixture in a
tropical home. Such a thing is not
needed to ward off cold but the indoor
moisture which not only moIds ones
goods but seems to invade ones spirits
with an atmosphere of gloom. It is the
common complaint about town that
houses are beginning to smell like cell
lars; that the only place in a house
Unless sunshine returns soon the rust
which doth corrupt will begin to show
itself in all manner of household be-
Iongings; and the owners viii wish that
they had provided for the occasional
blaze in a fireplace which would repel
humidity.
Some Honolulu houses have been
built with fireplaces and on occasion
the latter have proved their value to
property and saved the doctors bills
that come of sleeping in damp rooms.
OF course there are others where oil
stoves are used but these devices eat
up oxygen as fast as they do moisture
and are therefore not popular for heat
ing purposes, however good an end
they may serve in certain forms of
cookery. Service and health combine
in fireplace, especially when the bat
tie is with moisture.

An esteemed evening contemporary
says: 1T is only necessary to allude to
our own heavy frigates during the War
OF Independence to show what can be
done by ships. Without our ships we
might never have won, but with our
ships We won hand over hand. 1t was
our navy which was our best card, and
our gallant officers played it for all it
was worth from the Atlantic to the
Great Lakes. 1t was fighting worth the
work, and it gave the officers an oppor-
tunity to emulate Nelson, than whom
there was no better seaman of his
time Probably our contemporary
means the War of 1912. Nothing in a
naval way was done on the Great
Lakes during the War for Independ-
ence. As for Nelson he was a midship-
man in 177o and did not get command
until 1893.

LOCAL CRIME.

! There is a great deal more thieving
in town than the public is aware of.
! AS rule nothing is said about it by
the police until an arrest is made and
arrests. as compared with the whole
volume of crime. are few and far be-
tween. This is not due to any lack
of good intent in the heads of the de-
partment, or of cleverness among the
white detectives who really constitute
most of the thief-catching element;
but to the want of large enough force
of efficient policemen and detectives to
cover this expansive city.
While some of the increase of petty
crime, the robbery of servants quar-
tiers, etc.. is probably due to the de-
sire of the criminal class of Chinese
to get money for Konohi and of the
same class of japanese to secure pas
sage fare home, the tight times are
steadily adding to the number of peo-
pie who must live by their wits. There
is now a large vagrant population here.
Kakaako is full of it; and as negroes,
Porto Ricans and vicious Japs drift in
from the plantations the colony is add

portionally increased. More police
men-not dummies in uniform, but po-
licemen-are needed to protect house
holders from harm. AS things are.
whole suburbs, yes whole districts
within the city, are left to take care
of themselves. Enough. money is paid
out for defence to make this the best
policed town of it's size in the world,
but unfortunately a large part of it is
expended on ornamental militia.
