dollars for Hawaii OF this amount

LONDON, March 17.-Japan is at

with Great Britain her treaty Of Of
fensive and defensive alliance, al
though the compact does not expire
until 1915, four years hence.
Finance the Strong Weapon.
Discussing the Japanese question
from the English viewpoint, Mr.. Bel

Japan undoubtedly means to attain
supremacy in the Pacific Ocean. AL
though Count Won Reventlow. quoted
this morning, talks from the naval
point of view, there is a very strong
weapon which both Great Britain and
the United States possess against ia
pan, and that is finance.
1T is open to England and the Unit
ed States at any moment to withdraw
financial support. So far as we can
gather from the history of the nations
finance is seldom patriotic,
IF finance would only be patriotic
undoubtedly Japan would be crippled
and prevented from going to war IN

Target Practice Next.
The hiking" season, as the allah
sOrbing recreation and post military
duty, is fast fading, with the passing

next engage the time and attention Of
the troops stationed at the different
army and marine posts OF this mill
tary district
The target range of the Kahauiki
reservation is Immediately north OF
the officers line, to the rear Of the adj
ministrative building, and is cOnsid-
cred a very admirable range for prac-
tice firing, as the ridge of mountains
that runs along, the eastern border
line of Fort Shafter, makes a natural
and splendid backstop for the range.
Fort Skaters target range is being
enlarged and improved for the COM
mencement of the target practice sea-
son, which begins on April the 1st
There are to be eight targets instead
of four. The additional numbers are
being placed on the nring line, ready
for the shots when they begin to fly
that way.
The targets on the Fort Skaters
range will be a 200, 300, 400, 500, 900,
500 and a 1OOO-yard distance. Fifteen
feet apart This increase Of the firing
range for practice was made neces
sary by the cramped condition Cd
served on this practice field of small
arms during the last target season.
Not only is this Fort Shafter target
range used for the Infantry battalion
that may be stationed there, but the
range was placed and used through
the courtesy of the commanding Off
Ger, at the disposal of portion of the
marine corps and the First IIfantry
of the National Guards OF Hawaii. The
range was so small that section OF
the Marine corps had to go out to the
Leilehua reservation target range tC
complete their tour of rifle practice
within the prescribed time.

As general proposition it is true
that the men who have made success
in any given business know more about
the cost of conducting that business
than an outsider. 1t would be a mis-
take, however, to assume that on this
account the people should abdicate the
right and duty OF regulation of public
service corporations. Legitimate bust
ness has not infrequently been harmed
by injudicious legislation and ignorance
in public administrative office, but even
legitimate business interests must re-
cognize that an outsider like Mr.. Bran
deis may be perfectly competent crl-
tic of business economy without having
had practical business experience. The
intelligent critic has his place in bust
ness as well as art and literature, and
in this particular instance the criticism
has been of the constructive sort by
which, in the long run, the railroads
will no doubt profit.
