work in progress and Contem-
plated. Announcement was made
that concreting of the locks at
Gatun would be finished by June
lst 1912, and the locks ON the
Pacific side four months later.
Assuming that the gates were
completed by June list, 1913, the
contract time, the locks would
be ready on that date, If the oper-
ating machinery were installed.
The Gatn dam, II was estimated,
would be finished by the close of
the dry season 19l2-l9l3, and II
no more material, due to slides,
had to be removed than was esti-
mated at the time the board met,
1t was decided that the Culebra
cut would be completed by July
list, 1913 The exterior chan
nels leading to the canal from the
two oceans, II was found, would
be sufficiently advanced to pass
such shipping that would use the
canal, by this same date, July list,
1913
DO our citizens understand what
this means to Honolulu. July |, 1913,
Is less than eighteen months distant
Measured In terms with which our
people are most familiar, It is "one
sugar crop away"
First thoughts will be of the bene-
fits the city will derive from the
opening of the great waterway
More important than this Is the ire
mendous amount of work that must
be done in this city in preparation for
the traffic that will come through the
canal. and the additional dangers this
city will face through close connec-
ton with the yellow fever zone.
II is impossible for the men of Ho-
nolulu to overestimate what HAS to
be done, towards perfecting the san
itation of this city.
Sewers MUST be laid, streets MUST
be put through and vast stretches of
land MUST be filled The mosquito
MUST go. And this should be done
in eighteen months time.
Honolulu Is equal to the task if the
leaders will approach it with the
same enthusiasm and determination
with which they go at the production
of another crop of sugar.

OUR ARMY, The JAPANESE
AND HAWAII.

Statements of fact no longer rise
to the dignity Of war scare.
That is about the situation as re-
CARDS the remark of General Carter
before the House Committee the other
day.
A large number of Japanese and
former soldiers are present in the
Territory Of Hawaii They are pur-
suing the arts of peace. No one dis
putes that fact.
II these people were called upon by
their home government to fight, they
would do so. If their government
called upon them to fight the forces
of the United States, they would do
so. No one doubts that
Consequently II is the natural, plain
ordinary business of the American
nation in preparing for defense in
time of tress to look such facts
squarely in the face and make plans
accordingly
This does not mean that we fear
war at the present time or that one
Is in sight II is simply the evidence
Of good, plain horse-sense on the part
Of the officers Of the army.
II the remarks act as jar on the
nerves of some very good people. it
is because they are learning some
thing about which they have been
grossly ignorant in the past.
As for Hawaii, neither the Americans
nor the Japanese are worrying over
the situation. That does not signify
that We are asleep to the possibilities,
however. And every American should
be thankful that the officers of the
army have not been so squelched by
Impractical peace advocates that they
hesitate to speak out.
To the leaders of industry, however,
words like those of General Carter
have Significance that should not be
lost sight of.
Make up your mind that the policy
of the United States army as regards
Hawaii will be favorable to the citizen
, population as against preponder-
| ance Of any single nationality of
aliens, This Is also just plain com
mon sense

WHAT The PEOPLE save IN
times OF PROSPERITY.

In one of his recent circulars, Henry
Clews answers the question of where
the money goes to" in periods of eX-
ceptional prosperity.
This is one of the queries very fire.
quently made in local circles when
money is very plentiful and still the
amount available for permanent in
vestment does not prove so large rs
would naturally be expected.
The Clews circular states that
SEQ 900, 900 was to be disbursed the
first of the year and then puts the
query. viii the usual proportion Of
this sum come into Wall street for
permanent investment"
The answer Is instructive.
There is some reason to expect
that it will not. The main reason is
the high cost of living for all classes.
Whether this is due TO high prices, to
extravaganza or to higher standards
of living matters little. People are
certainly saving less, and as al! new
capital must come from the nation s
savings il follows that there will be
smaller proportion applicable for
investment purposes than usual.
In this same connection ClewS, In :
later circular, deals with the automo-
bile as a factor in reducing the say

HEAVY DRINKING
The Whites in the African Camps Set
 Bad Example.

BERLIN, May 26.-The~discussiOn in the ReiCnstaG of the colonial budget brought out interesting remarks about excessive drinking in the colonies as well as about household slavery in German East Africa From the speech es of several members it appears that the German officials and the few Ger mans in the colonies are very heavy drinkers.
 Dr. Paasche. first president of the Reichstag. who has himself tray eled in he colonies. said: our high officials are still compelled, as it were to invest a large part of their income in alcohol. both in southwest and in east Africa A higher official must drink up nearly 5000 and the medium and lower class officials accordingly. They mast put the hal of their in- comes into alcohol
 Herr Davi1sOhn. a socialist member, claimed that drinking went to far greater excesses with the whites than with the natives, so that it was com mon among the negroes to say of one of their number when found dead drunk that he IS as drunk as a white man"

DUELLING IN GERMANY

BERLIN. May 26.-The recent dis cussiOn of duell-ng in the Reichstag will apparently lead to strong ef- fort on the part of that body to take some action looking toward abolish ing or further restricting the evil in the army After the Prussian war minister. General Von Heeringen, said in the ReiChstag that an officer who refuses to fight duel from religious convictions does not belong in the social circle of the officers corps" the clerical party q few days later made formal and energetic pro-
 testt through it's leader, Dr. Spahn, against the utteranCes. He argued
 that the minister of war placed him self and the entire officers corps
 outside of the law through the re- mark. since both the civil code and
 the military penal code prohibit
 duelling Dr Spahn called attention to the fact that the minister would exclude from the army all officers who respect and obey the laws and said that the matter would be further discussed in committee.
 The minister evidently saw that he had gone too far, and 1t the opening of the next session of the budget
 committee he made formal state ment designed to break the force Of | his declaration. He expressed his
 regret that in the excitement of the moment he had given his view a | sh lrp form unintended by him.

COLLEGE COURSE

The University of Chicago has broken loose again in the person of it's president Harry Pratt Judson, who announces plan for the ieOrganiza- ton of ihe institution so that it may turn our short order degrees to young men in Il hurry. Dispatches character ize the plan as novel" but the ad jective seems rather weak.
 The scheme is to cut down the regu- latiOn American course of study from the ground up by slicng two years from tho elementary school course and one year from the high school course, and by substituting for these three years a three year junior college course Above the junior college would rise a two year university course, with a B A degree sparkling at the en1 of it. the university guaranteeing to turn out a finished product at the age of 1 20 For those who might desire it, a 1 post graduate course of two or more | years would be on tap.
 i Tn order to put into effect the plan | of the university of Chicago president 1 the currioulums of all grammar schools and high schools acting as it's feeders must, of course be thoroughly upset and readjusted The end in view is 1 obvious It is utilitarian. and the de | sign is to cram knowledge into young sters and get them into active life as ] soon as possible without any regard to 1 the evil effects of mental indigestion. But this is not the sort of thing which | makes good students thoroughly | grounded scholars. There is enough superficialty in American life already without extending it to the college | courses. The young man who must leave school and go to work at 20 years may be unfortunate, but he is much | better off if he has completed a full l high school course and has had two years Of regular college work than he would be were he the pOssessor of a more Showy but -dgested education. It may seem to him rather unfair that he should be denied a college degree, but his misfortune is small beside the general misfortune which would de- scend upon the country if degrees were to be cheapened.
 Assuming that President Judson's plan will some day be put into effect in his school how long will it be be- fore Chicago University degree will be subject for jest and the institution itself debased in the minds of the edu- cated public ?-Detroit Free Press.
