These ten nations were represented
at the International Conference on
Maritime Warfare, held at London in
January last.
The enormous development of the
world S trade does not appear to have
brought us TO the time when the lion
and it IS cubs care to lie down with the
lambsl Neither does it appear to be
strengthening a desire towards realiz,
ing something at any rate, akin to the
"immensa majestas Romance pacis. -
In the glow Of commercial achieve,
ment we are apt, as Felix Adler says,
to be full of a false self-importanee
and to look upon such achievement as
the ne plus ultra in effort. AT such
times let there be remembered the char
acteristies of a nation whose magnif-
cent efforts to thwart the aggressive,
ness of Russian encroachment afforded
a splendid spectacle of devotion to
country, to high ideals, and of uneom-
promising response to duty, greater than
| which the world has never had ken of,
| and of which the japanese may well be
| proud. And again, be it remembered
these ethical qualities so markedly de-
veloped, were those of people,e who,
notwithstanding their enterprise and
commercial activities, are found last in
the group of nations, the statistics OF
whose trade is above set forth.

of the National Guard would also go
TO Aiea and that the National Guards
men would be notified to be in readi-
ness to respond to sudden call.
Colonel Jones could not be found to
confirm or deny this rumor.
Mr.. Mead found about forty Portu-
guese and Porto Rieans at work
around the Aiea mill. He learned
that no violence had taken place, but
the japanese had inundated about
$50 Chinese and warned them not to
do a stroke of work. The contractors
among the japanese do not sympa-
thize with the strike movement.
Yesterday about one hundred and
forty cars loaded with cane were wait
ing on the tracks to be unloaded and
the cane sent into the crusi1ers and
so on through the mill. Some of it is
said to be cane that should go through
in the next few days.
The strike agitators held a meeting
at the Yamashiro Hotel last night
with reference to the Waipahu plan
tation.

s. PLANTATION MANAGER WILL
NOTIFY THE ASSOCIATION OF
HIS INTENTION WHENEVER HE
WANTS TO DISCHARGE ANY LA
BORER.
One of the first moves of the man
agement of the Aiea plantation may
be to request the strikers to leave the
plantation quarters and retire from
the limits of the estate, which would
have the effect of bringing them all
to Honolulu. They would not be per-
mitted to go to Waipahu plantation,
as they would be regarded there as
undesirable. The same order may be
given at Waipahu plantation.
r. d. Mead of the Planters Associ-
alton and others interested in the
matter went to Aiea yesterday in
autos and looked over the situation.
Sheriff Jarrett also went there to
study the ground and ascertain wheth-

Letters From
the People

Editor Advertiser:-Th lately Vice
President of the United States, the
Honorable Charles w. Fairbanks,
speaking after dinner as the guest of
honor of the Commercial Club, on the
evening of the 2Sth ult., said, among
other things, sour commerce is in,
ereasing with leaps and bounds. It is
the marvel of modern times. We
have outstripped most of our CONNER
cial competitors in the race. - Let me,
sir, in this connection, present to your
readers certain figures showing the
enormous increase in the world s com
mcree in the past ten years. Also let
me show the naval expenditures for
each ton of the mercantile shipping of
the several countries named, which may
be looked upon as national insurance.
Professor Scott of the High School has
always held the view, and expresses It
on occasion, that the great movements
of the world, political and otherwise,
are at bottom economic. When the vast
interests involved in commerce are re-
membered and the inherent selfshness
of human nature recognized, which
latter, perhaps, we are endeavoring to
overcome, it is not difficult to believe
in the correctness of the Professor IS

GOVERNOR PATTERSON
 VETOES PROHIBITION BILL Governor of Tennessee Gives Some Argu. ments Against State Wide Measusefe.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 20.-Following the adjournment of the Senate yester- day Gov. Patterson's veto of the State wide prohibition bill was quietly filed with the clerk.
 The veto in the House will certainly be overridden, but in the Senate the vote will be closer. Twenty to 13 was the vote in the Senate on the bills passage. Seventeen votes in the Senate and 50 in the House will be necessary to override the veto.
 The reasons assigned by the Gov ernor for the veto are many; 1t is against the will of the majority, de- fies the Democratic platform, arbitrary prohibition laws are not obeyed, it de- stroys revenue, at the same time fo- menting discord and resulting in mon- ey being sent abroad, is incorporate, tending to foster hypocrisy and will teach the youth of the Statet daily les sons of evasion and duplicity.
 The Governor also condemns the measure as having brought women and children into the poisoned atmos- phere of political strife ''Vicious and undemocratic as I believe this measure to be- says the message, forced upon communities without their consent, it will be my duty as Governor to try to enforce it, and no man who breaks it need expect from me any different treatment than will be accorded other violators; but be- you shall not in the name of morality commit an immoral act and in the name of the public welfare commit this political crime without hearing through me the voice of an indignant, protesting and outraged people,"

DUKE ABRUzzl'S RESIGNATION
 DISCREDITED
No Confirmation and Tale is Based Upon
 a Very Trifling Foundation.
Especial from United Press.)

Rome. Jan. 20.-Members of the Royal family would make no comment today on the report that the Duke of the Abruzzi intended to resign his rank and title in order to be free to marry Miss Katherine Elkins. A member of the suite of King Victor Emmanuel the Dukes cousin, denied that the King had received a letter from the Duke in which the latter re- signed his naval commission.
 Friends of the Duke are divided in their opinion but those who know him best credit the story. These have al- ways contended that the Dukes affair with Miss Elkins was a genuine love match and that the Duke would let nothing stand in the way of his WOOL ing.
 The basis for the story regarding the Duke however, is considered rather flimsy. It was sent to the Petit Partisan by the correspondent of this paper who is believed to have predi- cated his story cn the fact that the Duke did not accompany the Italian fleet, in which he is 3. captain, on it's trip to the quake zone.
 London. Jan. 20.-The Duke of the Abruzzi. who has been staying in Lon don incognito. departed for Turin this morning declining absolutely to discuss any reports concerning Miss Katherine .Elkins and himself. His stay here was for the purpose of equipping an eX- petition which he will soon make into the Himalayas. He will start before the end of the month.
 The Italian. Embassy to-day denied all knowledge of the report that the Duke would renounce his title to wed Miss Elkins. Messages from Turin say it is impossible to confirm the report there and friends of the Duke say they doubt the report.
