Editor Honolulu Star.Bulletin.
Dear Sir: 1t is a healthy sign when
men Of affairs and men of standing
offer themselves to become supervis-
ors, and 1t is to be hoped that their
offers will be given the consideration
that they deserve.
For very few people seem to have a
proper conception of the vast impor-
tance of these positions, or the amount
OF money that can be squandered by
these men, unless they fully under
stand their duties as well as up-to-date
business methods.
II will be a surprise to many people
to learn that there Is no corporation
in this town that is so important as
this county office, nor do the manag-
ers of them have the handling of so
much money nor do they have as
much responsibility; and yet, strange
to say, it has been thought that al.
most anyone, whether experienced or
not, could fill these positions with
credit That this has not been done
is well known, and the streets alone
will prove this for, notwithstanding
the vast amount of money that has
been spent upon them many OF the
streets are still IN a frightful condi-
ton fk r. - - u

ON BOARD THE KRONPRINZES

The Kronprizessin Ceeilie with 1,454
passengers and cargo 70 100000
in gold and silver, sailed out of New
York harbor at &c O'Clock on the morn
ing of July Is. Her first port to call
was to be Plymouth and then Cher,
bourg and then Bremen. II
The war scare was on and, naturally,
as the majority of her yrs; cabin pas
sengers were Geflnans and English,
there was some speculation as to what
would happen to. the ship should war
be declared While she vas on the high
seas. Persqq faRili VIII Spanish.
ships leaving port after that war was
declared, were in each instance OF
seizure released by prize courts.
So speculation died down and the
voyage became the usual uneventful
trip across the Atlanliclt There was a
dance each night; English, French and
German passengers srsternized.
1t was on the fourth day, while a
dance was in progress on deck and the
usual assembly was in the smoking
room, that q few minutes past ten
some Of the passengers were startled
by signs that the ship was being
turned around
News told by Captains,
At 1920 Captain Polack entered the
smoking room.
Gentlemen said he, II want your
attention. Ihaye an announcement to
make. War has broken out between
England, France, Russia and Germany,
and we are going back to America.
We have plenty of coal, and / think we
will get back safely. want the gentle
men to help me in alIaying the fears
OF the women"
No one uttered a sound for what
seemed to be very long time was
seated at the table with an English
man, a Bayarian and a Greek. The
Bavarian, a kindly faced gentleman of
perhaps so, was the first to break the
silence. He arose, we all arose; he
grasped each by the hand, the English.
man last. and as he grasped the Eng
lishman's hand he said, very intensely,
Il am sorry, very sorry" :
Afterwards learned that he was
Major General Kristof Kiefeber, re-
tired, of the German army. The Eng.
lishrnan makes his living selling war
materials.
Captains Orders Were Brief.
The Captain had received his orders
by wireless at 10 O'Clock They were
brief, no waste of words, Turn back
and make for an American port with
all speed"
The decision as to port was to
await developments Is
That the situation might become
serious now slowly began to dawn on
the passengers. Did ever a greater
prize sail the seas in time of war than
the, Kronprinzessin Cecilie, with her
81, 5000 of gold and silver, con-
signed to France and England? We're
there any British and French warships
near? Was it usual for British and
French warships to sail up and down
the American coast? II so what were
the chances of slipping by? And SO 1t

All Of this costs money. A fire department

Where is the money to come from? The SUI

PRESIDENT Rlsok's POSTUM

As further proof that President Wilson has
no intention of getting the United States en-
broiled with JAPAN the following excerpt from
a statement he made on August is of interest
"The situation in Europe is perhaps the
grayest in its possibilities that has arisen in
modern times, but it need not affect the United
States unfayorably in the long run. Not that
the United States has anything to take advan-
tage of, but her own position is sound and she
owes it to mankind to remain in such condi-
ton, and in such a state of mind that she can
help the rest of the world.
Il know from my conferences with the secre-
tary of the treasury, who is in very close touch
with the financial situation throughout the
country, that there is no cause for alarm.
"There is cause for getting busy and doing
the thing in the right way, but there is no ele-
ment of unsoundness, and business men of the
country are cooperating with the government
with intelligence and spirit which makes the
outcome secure

that she would give French lessons or

Ing process, OF course at an extra charge.
She realized that women busy with golf

for the study OF languages and thought
that the combination might attract GUS

where otherwise she would have gained
but one.
Two girls resorted to the calling OF
doing mending and cleaning white shoes
for the guests at a fashionable mountain
resort. They got permission to put
their cards In the bedrooms, saying that
they would clean white shoes and gloves
and do fine mending. Then they cstab-
llshed themselves in the nearby VII
lage at a low board rate. At first they
called at the hotel every morning, dressed
In spotless white, and carried home the
articles for cleaning. Trade soon grew
to such an extent that they were able
to afford an errand boy.

The English fashion of using n long.

Of tho table is gaining in popularity
here and offers one OF the easiest and
best methods OF utilizing partially worn
damask. The selvage sides of a large
cloth will often furnish four runners.
These may be finished in n variety Of
ways depending upon the quality Of the
damask. The woman who knows any
