ADMIRAL MAHAN GIVES REASONS WHY CONGRESS
should BUILD BATTLESHIPS FOR PROTECTION

many against Great Britain might be
placated by Great Britain repudiatine
the Monroe Doctrine. This does not
mean that Great Britain desires, oil
should desire, new American territory
but that she should enter into an
agreement with Germany that she
would not oppose any German project
to obtain American territory. cont.
mental or insular.
This would be on the same lines
by which Great Britain arranged her
long standing territorial difficulties
with France. by conceding a free hand
for France In Morocco OF course, We
Americans do not wish to depend up
ON any other nation for support to our
rational policies, yet we may need it,
and probably would not receive it, if
we relax our hattleship building. Even
the intermission of a single year will
embarrass the future seriously. Here
is the place to mention that very re.
Gently an article has appeared in a
German magazine directly assailing
the doctrine. Ii attacked as being
without support from international
law, and also contrary to German in
terests, there is no reply except an
adequate battle fleet.
81 do not for one moment suggest
that the motive for the present Ger.
man naval expansion is interference
IN America. in support of defined
German policy. But / do say that the
simple existence of such fleet as
Germany is now providing places the
Monroe Doctrine at her mercy, while
the completion of the Panama canal
will cause her strong temptation to
violate it by acquiring through pur
chase or otherwise position or posi-
tions in the Caribbean Sea such as
The two chief naval states, France and
Great Britain, possess and have pos
sessed since our colonial period"
This is most significant expires
sion from the ablest expounder of in
ternational or world policies in any
country today, and it should command
attention at home, as it will abroad.

CUBA ONCE PART OF
AMERICAN MAINL AND

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 10.-Dr.
Carlos de la Torray Huerta, former
mayor of Havana, who received the
degree of doctor of science at Harvard
last month, for discoveries tending to
prove that Cuba was at one time part
of the American mainland, received to-
day two large cases of fossils and
shells which he recently gathered in
Cuban and adjacent waters, and on
which he based his theories. The fos-
sils and shells will be shipped to Har-
ward university. to which DR.. Huerta

NEW AND OLD
LIVING PLACES

"Woodlawn is selling well" said G..
S. Desky this morning. Il have done
the best business the last three weeks
done for the. same time in months
past.
Real estate in the old residence
sections of Honolulu is depressed,
compared with that in the suburbs. III
fact vauues in the older part have
gone down from what they were ten
years ago. There is little demand for
residence property there, while many
owners would sell if they could get
anything like the price they want.
Property in those sections, however,
is seldom advertised, for sale.
"One of the principal reasons for
the depression in thvse localities is
the entrance of undesirable associa-
tons. People do not care to live next
door to small shops, laundries, cheap
lodging houses and so forth.
"Of course there is another reason
IL the desire of people to live out in
the surburbs at higher elevations than
the older portions of the city, win
the opportunities for doing so createe
by the electric cars and the opening
up of new streets, together with the
advent of automobiles.
Those owning pleasant residences
in the older sections who 20 lot wish
to give them up protect themselves
against undesirable neighDors when
practicable by purchasing adjoining
properties, and to this fact is due the
preservation Of values to some extent
in those sections.
The building restrictions placed or
sales of property in some of the new
suburban tracts are very good thing.
They will protect the neighborhoods
for lang terms of years, if not perpetu-
ally, from eyesores of architecture as
well as from other unpleasant associa-
tions"

IN controversy over the battleship
building program. the following view
of the military situation by no less

han is especially timely;
The late W. T. Stead, foremost
journalist, who went down in the I'll
tanic, was a peace enthusiast; he
published a periodical called War
Against War, but coincidentally. as
peace measure, he advocated laying
down two British battleships for each
German, one and was largely instru.
mental in the sustained increase of
the British Navy In the United
States the Monroe Doctrine, if of
shorter tradition, is nevertheless a
national policy similarly conducive to
peace and equally established in the
will of the people, but although there
exists a present evident necessity for
a navy, the relation between il and
the Monroe Doctrine is not as clear
to the apprehension of our people as
the relations of the navy to their in
sular well-being has been to British
peare.
yet the Monroe Doctrine has not
a leg TO stand on. except the United
States Navy. Eminently moral as the
doctrine is, because it makes for the
peace and independence of all Amer
lean States, it has not behind it a.
shred of sanction from international
law. It's assertions are contrary to
established international practice. II

Inauguration of a policy of educa-
ton and doing away with the present
policy Of silence are the solutions to
the social evil problem which DIR.
Charles Eliot presented last night in
his address on the Social Evil deliv-
cred before "a committee of the Social
Survey at Palama Settlement house.
According to DIR. Eliot, the-AaasAnt
suppressive policy which has aDve.I in
vogue in the families, schools, and
churches prevents light from being
cast upon many vital subjects, and as
result much evil ensues.
AS an antidote to. the ignorance of
these problems, the Harvard president
urged that every means be taken to
inaugurate policy of education; that
these subjects would be carefully gone
into and the truth about them known;
that they should be taught by parents
to the children, by teachers to the
scholars, preached from the pulpits by
the clergy, and given publicity in the
newspapers.
Another essential thing which must
be done to solve the social problem,
according to Dr. Eliot, is that a single
moral standard must be adopted and
severe legislation be brought to bear
against the male offender as well. as
the female. When this done, the big
*part of the problem will be solved, he
ssaid
DR.. Eliot spoke for twenty minutes,
and his discourse which took the form
of an informal tai kwas frequently In
terrupted by questions and queries
covering particular phases of the
question. DR.. Eliot explained the sit
uation in New England and the East
ern part of the United States and
gave his views as to the question OF
segregating ard legalizing vice.
In discussing this phase of the ques-
ton, the college president quoted sta
tistics from various medical authori-
ties showing where segregation had
rot assisted in decreasing disease but
had tended to increase its ravages.
His address was a clear-cut analysis
of facts with no attempt at the sensa-
tional or ramatic ard was thoroughly
enjoyed by those present.

HIS FIRST VIEW
OF PEARL HARBOR

That Pearl Harbor, and all that goes
to make it the most important naval
work of the United States today, is
too big proposition for anyone to un-
-derstand without personal investiga-
ton, was the summing up of Rear Ad-
miral Homer Stanford, chief of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks, after he
had inspected Uncle SANS new naval
work yesterday.
Approaching the harbor from the
ocean side on the navy tug Navajo,
the bureau chief saw the splendid sheet
of water extensive enough to provide
anchorage for most of the navy OF the
United States gradually open out, and
had fine opportunity to sum up the
strategic possibilities of the harbor and
to note to best advantage the arrange
meft of the naval station itself After
day spent in inspecting and making
a thorough investigation of the work
already accomplished. and that which
is blocked out, Admiral Stanford gave
it as his opinion that no one could get
an adequate paper understanding" of
Pearl Harbor. and that he was more
than glad he had made the long trip
from Washington to see first hand
what was being accomplished in the
midpacific
Pleased With Entrance.
Admiral Stanford turned his atten-
ton first to the entrance channel, and
was greatly pleased with what he saw.
By maps and drawings he was famil-
lar with every bend and every sound
ing of it, but he had reserved final
judgment until he saw conditions as
they actually exist, and what he saw
was above criticism. By an odd chance
Admiral Stanford, before he was APP
pointed to his present position as chief
of bureau, had something to do with
laying out the original lines of the
channel, and he found yesterday that
the harbor entrance agreed almost ex-
actly with his mental picture of it,
Rear Admiral Cowles, commandment
of the Honolulu naval station and the
ranking naval officer in the Islands,
himself took charge of the inspection
party yesterday. Others who made the
trip on the tug were Major Neville,
commanding the marine battalion;
Civil Engineer Gayler, public works Of
ffcer; Civil Engineer Kirby Smith, Wal

channel, and President Hindes of the
