THE TIME, THE PLACE AND
THE OPPORTUNITY
Attention, all Hawaii!

The Honolulu Adj Club is about to begin a
piece Of work as important to the future OF
Hawaii as anything undertaken in years.
It's the doubling of the funds for the Promo
ton Committee.
The Committee now gets $1,000 a month-a
miserabIy insufficient sum to carry on its work,
a quite inadequate sum TO enlarge that work.
as Hawaii now faces golden, a shining, an un-
prectdented and a never-to-be repeated opportu-
nifty to go after and get large share OF the
worlds tourist traffic. This sort of an oppor-
tunity will never come again, for the European
war will never be repeated and much of the OPP
portunity arises from the blockade of tourist
traffic in Europe Blocked from Europe from
Africa, very possibly blocked also from the
Orient, the worlds tourist traffic can be turned
to and through Hawaii.
III will take money to get this result IL can
be done on pennies or dimes; it must be done
ON dollars Hawaii must advertise dUeTftSe--
ADVERTISE Tell the world that Hawaii is
here TO welcome the traveller to a country that
remains untroubled in the midst of the greatest
var in history, to seas unruffled by the battling
navies of half a dozen nations, to climate that
literally and fguratively is unshadOWed by the
clouds of international strife.
The Promotion Committee decided YESTERDAY
afternoon to send Secretary Wood to the COAST
10 yet into first-hand touch with traffic condl
lions. It's a good move. There are dozen
.,ther things that may be done-that must be
done. and they cost money. But 1t is invested
money that will yield several hundred per cent
Ia dividends
The opportunity is at hand. The Promotion
ccn,snittee is ready to enlarge its actlylties
The AID Club has undertaken to raise the funds

POSTMASTER PenhaIlow made. a few
earnest remarks and said that he was
sorry to see Judge Kingsbury ga away
for he was friend of his. In few
weli-chosen words he presented the
guest of honor, who as he rose to
speak was kreeted with a storm of ap.
plause. The speech Judge Kingsbury
made was one of the best and 2most
appreciated that Maui men have ever
heard him make. He said that he had
listened to all the kind words that had
been said, and thought the man that
had been talked about must be very
fine man. IF any part of these re-
marks apply to me, am very glad to

BANKRUPTCY AS AN
ARGUMENT AGAINST WAR

Eighteen or twenty of the peace treaties by
which Secretary of State Bryan expected to
make war impossible have not been ratified and
of course those affecting European powers now
will not be- The chances are that even if they
had been in effect on August the European
war would be about where it is today.
None of the European powers will consent to
sign any sort of agreement or treaty that binds
them to arbitrate instead of fight where ques-
ton of personal honor is involved, and it is
noticeable that all of the nations now at each
others threats say that they were driven to take
up the sword in defense of honor.
Austria called SeIvia to account for the as
sassination of the heir apparent and his wife.
Russia upheld Servia on a point of alleged
honor; Germany found herself unable to en-
dure Russia's attitude; France stood by her
great northern ally; England stood by both ;
Japan is ready to strike for England; Belgium,
attempting to preserve neutrality, found her
honor tainted when the German soldiery set
foot on Belgian soil; Montenegro was unable to
witness a neighbOr i'm conflict with a stronger
power without going to that neighbours aid
always and everywhere the avowal that honor
was at stake.
Regardless of the side to which victory sways
in this titanic encounter, every one of the ma
tons actively involved will be bankrupt inan-
eially if the war goes on for year and most of
them will he bankrupt physically 1t will take
Germany, Austria and France fifty years to pay
the bills
In the end right may not be on the side of
istce; it is quite likely, as that illustrious war;
r'or of history said, to be on the side of the
heaviest artillery
War in the future will not be made impossible

The gradi- ent is not steep, however. and the winds Alabama they are blowing mostly from the east and northeast. Coming from those directions, they keep the weather unsettled and showery In portions of Georgia and southeastern Alabama, and general cloudiness prevails over most of those states and Tennessee. Local rains occurred also in Tennessee.
 There have been no general rains over extensive areas in any portion of the country, but several small areas reported showers. While local showers are possi- ble over Alabama Wednesday, the state as a whole will have fair weather.
 Temperatures are at a standstill in Ala bama, and no very decided changes have been noted in any other section. Clear ing weather in Kansas and Nebraska brought a moderate rise there, and the clear skies in the western cotton states continued the high temperatures that have been reported from those states for several days past Temperatures of 9S to 100 degrees were reached In Texas and Oklahoma.
 A wave of high pressure over the plateau and west Rocky mountain states Is attended by decided cool change there. Cooler weather will cross the north ern states within the next few days, but the readings there as 6 rule are already moderate.
