W.R.CASTLEJ JR.
ADDRESSES
ALUMNI
Harvard Assistant Dean
Guest of Honor at
Dinner.

W. R. Castle, Jr., made one of the
most interesting of his many interest
ing talks since he has been in Homo
lulu during his present visit, at the
dinner given by P. L. Horne, principal
of the Kamehameha Schools, to the
Harvard Club in his honor last night
Speaking as he was to alumni of the
college of which he is also an alumnus
and the present assistant dean, Mr..
Castle was able to speak in a more
ehatty and informal way than is pos
ssible from a platform, and his always
pleasing delivery was at its best in
what one might term an informal
mOnologue; in which he told of what
had been doing recently at Harvard
and brought back to some of those to
whom college life is a rather long
memory, a close recollection of the
<'best days of our life"
+. A. Mott-Smith acted as chairman,
an the absence of the president of the
club, and in few words of explana-
-tion called on Mr.. Castle for talk,
saying that the latter had a message
from Harvard to deliver.
The first and perhaps most interest
ing point that Mr.. Castle spoke on was
athletics. He said in part: "Of ath-
1etics generally at Harvard I shall not
speak, but the position of the faculty
with regard to athletics is something
in which am personally concerned,
and 1 wish to make that position
clear.
"There has been criticism of the
faculty for the stand they have taken.
But. after all, the faculty has a right
to do as it has, for its members are
there to conduct the course of educa-
ton and, see that all those students
get the education they are there for.
Neiher is it with the athletes them
selves that there is any trouble on
this score. You may not know it, but
1T is a fact that members of the teams
and crews are always well up in their
studies. They are working hard at
their athletics and they find time also

LURL1NE AND HONOLULU.

Both Castle & Cooke and Alexander
& Baldwin have recommended to the
Matson Navigation Company at San
Francisco that the steamship Lurline be
kept on the old passenger route-that
is, when leaving the Islands for the
Coast to leave Honolulu last. On her
present trip to San Francisco the Lur-
line sailed from Kahului direct for the
Coast The firms interested in the Mat
son Company have always signifed a
willingness to meet the Honolulu pub
lie in every way possible, and in the
present instance have shown that if
the public really wants the Lurline to
call here for passengers that will be
done

Gen. Cipriano Castro was born in
1914. He became president of Vene-
zuela October "a, 1899, as the result
of a successful revolution, and has
maintained himself, practically, as a
dictator--of the South American type
ever since. He was born in re-
mote province of the country, and
there his political life was spent and
what eminence he had was attained,
until by the power of his sword he
became President. His entire admin
istration has been one of turmoil with
foreign powers, including the United
States, because Of his impudent and
high handed disregard of treaty rights

Holland is the latest country with
which Venezuela has become embroiled.
1t seems likely, in view of the events
that have followed his departure for
Europe, where he went ostensibly for
surgical treatment, that he had about
come to the end of his political power
in his own country and simply went
to Europe, whittier it is reported he
had already sent millions of dollars

A number of his predecessors are, or

his has been.
