|NYENTS NEW COCKTAIL
Commander Lucian Young Improves
Upon One Of the Hawaiian
Drinks

HONOLULU, July 13.-Commander
Lucian Young, whose vessel, the gum
boat Bennington, Is stationed at Homo

on one of the Hawaiian drinks. To the
jaded and sckly a poi cocktail has
long been the standing means of relief
This drink consists Of a mixture of
milk and poi, the national food Of Ha-
wall the concoction making a thick,
rasty but palatable drink. Commander
Young has frequently felt the need of
some drink to relieve the tired feeling
that one acquires in the warm climate
of Honolulu. SO he was introduced to
the poi cocktail
The drink lacked something, and lac
announced the fact as soon as he had
taken it. The deficiency was later sup
piled by the vigorous navy officer in the
shape Of two spoonsful Of brandy
The combination was an Improvement
over the more simple beverage. and now
when request for a poi cocktail Is
made the barkeeper asks if ii is desired

No ArmistiCe.

That Japan knows the characters
tics of her antagonist; that she is
wise in her refusal, or, rather, neg
lect, to discuss the matter of an ar
mistice at present; that she appre-
ciates the difficulty Of obtaining any
peace worth having without literally
tearing it from the bowels OF that
heterogeneous monster called Russia,
is made plain from day to day.
The news today would seem to in
dictate that the Car is for the mo-
mert against peace and that Line
witch is once more confident OF vic
tory It is difficult to determine how
much of this represents the Gar S
real attitude and how much is mere
Russian diplomacy-which has be-
come euphemisn for something
else-intended to influence the peace
negotiations in some remote way;
but, whatever may be the fact.
Japan's wisdom in deferring an
armistice until she has something to
gain thereby is becoming increasing
~ manifest.
1t is silly sentimentality to talk
about the dreadful slaughter that
may occur if an arlnistice is not set
tied at once. No slaughter likely to
happen in any pitched battle between
Oyama and Linevitch IN the next
three months can reasonably be SET
against the loss Of life already in
Cured by yielding TO Russian du-
pIicity or that would be occasioned by
allowing Russia 10 gain any adyan-
tage by reason of the tendency OF
peace negotiations. Japan knows
that Russia cannot be trusted

Street Car Common Sense.

The first street cars sent out this
morning went out in the rain. All
the cars that followed until after 1C
o'clock went out in the rain, also
It was a certainty, therefore, that
the patrons of the street cars would
require shelter Yet the officials OF
the street car companies sent out
open cars, which are practically nc
shelter at all, and cons: gned their
passengers TO wet seats, soaking
floors, and no protection from the
rain
If this were unusual it might be
set down as a mistake-a mistake in
consistent with proper business man
agement, but a mistake, nevertheless
But it is not unusual 1t is the general
practice. Now and then the pas
senger has choice between joining
eighty or more feIlow-beings in a
single closed car, and standing in an
open trailer, while the rain drives
between tapping curtains. The Gus
tom, however, is to make everybody
uncomfortable and endanger every
body's health.
The street car systems can stop
this any day they choose. If today
they were to instruct their managers
to put out closed cars when rain
threatened, the abuse would be at an
end. They will do well TO issue such
instructions-in their own interest
as well as the interest of their pa
irons
