APPROVE IDEA OF
naval HOLIDAY.
The American Action Causes
Favorable Comment
In Germany.

Berlin. Dec. 14.-The large majority
by which the NAVAL Holiday" resolu-
ton passed the American House of
Representative has attracted favorable
comment from peace lovers in Ger
many, and the attitude of the United
States on the proposal that interna-
tional naval construction be discon-
tinued, for one year, is regarded as one
of possible far-reaching influence.
The question just now is at stand
still, so far as Great Britain and Ger
many are concerned, and American
initiative at this juncture would have
many advantages, in the opinion OF
certain German naval officers. Unlike
the proposals to this end jut forward
by Great Britain, the suggestion for a
neutral nation to discontinue the
building Of battleships for IL months
would be open to no suspicion Of hos
tile intent.
Addressed to all nations it would
avoid one of the main objections to
the British plan which is that neither

die
FROM MEASLES

Four deaths have been recorded
among the children with the party of
Spanish and Portuguese immigrants
! by the British steamship Willesden,
siuce that vessel touched at berth
at Quarantine wharf. j II
Two deaths occurred on last Mon
day, with an additional number re-
corded for. Tuesday and Wednesday.
Measles is said as responsible for
the demise of two little ones.
No births are so far recorded among
the 1883 immigrants who journeyed
across many thousand miles of ocean
to seek a new home,in Hawaii.
Many new cases of measles are re-
ported. 1t is one OF the trying prob
TENS that confront the medical
staff with the Federal quarantine
station. The segregation of the sick
from the well is matter that re-
quires constant supervision and care.
At the rate of five hundred people
day, the last of the immigrants left
/ the Willesden this afternoon. DR..
Trotter and his staff Of medical Off
GERS now propose to fumigate officers
and crew of sixty men tomorrow.
The Willesden will also receive a
general cleansing and fumigation be-
fore going to wharf at the Mauka
side of the harbor.
Customs inspectors also have their
troubles. In the hold of the Willes-
den are six hundred pieces of bag
gage or personal effects belonging to
the recent arrivals. This assortment
of goods and chattels must be given
careful inspection by: the federal
customs. The baggage also comes in
for fumigation before being turned
over to the owner or claimant.

WATER DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
DENY REPORT STREAM DIVERTED

Last year was hard one with US, and
this year promises TO be much worse.
According to present prospects, our
supply this year will last us just about
4 month less than our supply of last
year. In other words, whereas We had
difficulty in supplying the city with
water as early as September of last
year, this year our water famine will
probably make. itself evident as early
as August Under such conditions"
Rieks concluded, 'fs it not ridiculous
to suppose that We would purposely
waste the water or divert il from the
dams in order to impress the people
and the Legislators with the serious
ness of the situation? AS matter of
fact the situation is serious enough
as II is, and, il the people had real
knowledge of conditions, they would
realize the necessity of conserving the
water supply to the last drop"
Kicks explained that the Kaimuki
pumping station is shut down for the
purpose of repairing the smokestack.
He urged the Star Bulletin to make a
special appeal to the people of that
district to be sparing in their use of
water. During the time the pumps are
shut down, the consumers have only
two reservoirs to draw upon, and these
will be very quickly emptied unless
economy is observed.

Say Situation in Nuuanu Is Bad
Enough Now Without Max F

Sensational reports, in evidence dur
ing the last few days, TO the effect
that the water works authorities, in
an endeavor, to make the Legislators
pass a bill satisfactory to them, are
exaggerating the dearth of water and
the condition Of the pumping stations,
were emphatically denied at the water
office yesterday. 1t was called to the
attention OF Superintendent Little that
Ii had been rumored that water Is be-
Ing diverted from the dams in the
Nuuanu valley 50 that the city's sup
ply Of water would not be increased to
any too rosy extent by the recent
rains
Conditions are bad enough as they
are" Superintendent Little said, land
there is no reason in the world for
making them worse. Far from trying
10 decrease the watershed along the
Nuuanu Valley, we have asked an ap-
preparation to dig bitches for the pur.
pose of, as far as is possible, increas-
ing it."
Chief Engineer Kicks drew vivid
picture Of present conditions of water
supply and demand, sustaining his
arguments with figures as he went
along. Every pumping station We
have" he said, 'fs working twenty
four hours every day, with the excep-
ton OF brief respites that the rain
gives US and time necessarily taken
cut for repairs. AS for the present
condition of the water supply, we
have far less water in our reservoirs
than at a similar period last year.

FINDING AN EXCUSE
New York World

New York World
When men repudiate a pledge they
find many reasons for it. Governor
Foss, of Massachusetts,, takes refuge in
a misstatement.
1t is not true, as he says in a long
message to the Legislature, that the
Democratic victory last November was
q declaration for protective downward
revision through the application of the
policy of general reciprocity" The
platform on which Wilson and Mar
shall and a Congress Democratic in
both branches were elected contained
thousands of words, but reciprocity"
was not among them. In the plainsst
of terms it did bind the party TO
.straightout tariff reduction, TO cheaper
food and clothing, and to make rev
enue rather than perfection the OBJ
ject sought.
The hrst Democrat of Importance to
desert, Governor Foss is not likely to
be the last 1t is not in human nature
for every member of any organization
devoted to right and justice to hold
fast. Some turn back because they
ale afraid, some because of selfish
ness, some because of powerful inter-
ests beguile them and some because Of
inherent stability. He will have imita-
tors, no doubt, most of them with mo-
t'ves of greed that will be perfectly
obvious.
In the case of the Governor of Mas
sachusetts the purpose is plainly we'll
calculated mischief. In effect, he
summons every weak-willed Democrat
in Congress to return to the fesh-pots.
He encourages every negotiator and
log-roller in the Democratic party to
resume operations. He revives hope
in the breast of every protective-taritf
Democratic Judas in the land. His bill
let is aimed and timed with deliberation
evidently with the hope that it will
confuse counsel at Washington and
defeat a great reform.
The political party that frees this
country from the new bondage of priv
ilege and plutocracy must be prepared
at every step of its forward movement
for those who fire in the rear.
