THE JIE60IsTs At WORK

il is hard To imagine the United States in
vOlying herself in the European war under any
such circumstances as those suggested in last
Saturday evenings cablegram to the Nippu
Jill. The japanese papers message bears all
the earmarks of gross exaggeratiOn if not an
actual fake. ...#
In the opinion of the Star ulletin-an Opin-
ION in which, it should be noticed, the local
Japanese consulate heartily coneurs-the dis
patch of Saturday was not worth serious at
tention. 1t was given altogether undue i'm
portance Saturday night and yesterday morn
Ing This resulted in feeling of needless
anxiety, both on the part of americans and
Japanese in this community. On the face of
it. the message from Toxic indicated that the
pacific intentions of America in urging neutral
ity for China and Chinese waters had been
twisted by japan jingoists into something be-
tween a threat and an ultimatum.
Japan, like every other country, suffers from
a small but persistent group of rabid jingoists.
Every act Of the United States upon which a
hostile construction can possibly be put is at
once seized upon by these Grating busybodies
and the cry of threatened war sent up in To
KID. The present instance is 20 Characteristic
Of jingoism that il is virtually conclusive.
A few days will suffice to clear away any
6oubt as to Americas attitude. Meantime Ha-
vail should hold on to cool sanity and the
knowledge that President Wilson is not the
sort of an executive who takes the tack attrib-
nied to the administration by the Nippu Jijis

FOREIGN MILITARY FORCES IN CHINA

The situation in the Far East is such as to
make some observers believe the United States
Mil have to assume responsibility for keeping
rider in China. sss,ss
A week ago, dispatches from Washington
1|oted that at present the international guard
in Chill province, including American marines
and soldiers, approximates 5000 officers and
men, OF these forces $50 American marines,
Inder command of Major Dion Williams, are
harding the legation at Picking, while 1900 in
|1ntrymen, with machine gun platoon, are at
TEN Tsin, under command of Colonel John G.
III Tillson.
1t was suggested that if a general European
var came foreign troops other than those of
he United States and possibly Japan might be
withdrawn to augment home forces and to pre-
rent complications in China. 1t is thought,
|oreyer, that the present American forces
would be sufficient to guarantee order and in
.6fe undisturbed traffic on the railroad between
|'en-Tsin and the capital city of Picking. In
any event. the American Asiatic naval squadron
.'fays is available as we'll as troops from the
philippines
Foreign troops in China, other than Ameri-
can. according to the latest reports, include:
Great Britain, 1000 officers and men; Aus.

SOME BAD ROADS.

''''t Hoholal1, Aug, s.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin. =.
Sir: / have been here long enough to
size up the situation .as, regards the
streets of this city, and, IT certainly is
a situa4 ION. q There are q few streets
within the boundaries of Kalihi and
Kaimukf that are fairly well kept. But
what is the use of repeating all that
slush about Honolulu s. abominable
streets. 1t has just, about as much eff
feet toward lettering the condition of
things as the sticking of pin into a
wooden Indian. -
But there is one piece of street in
this city, the condition Of which is al.
most an excuse for murder; / refer to
that stretch of Beretaniaosavenue be.
tween Alexander street /, and Moiliili.
No community in the States would
stand for that overnight There seems
to be no excuse for its condition. The

street was recently fixed "a street here
is never repaired, it is fxed) on both
sides of this bad quarter mile stretch,
but the place that needed attention
was not touched.
7 Kaimuki is the attractive section Of
Honolulu. u 1t is the section that tour.
lists visit. Beretania avenue is the only
thoroughfare over which an auto may
be driven to the bungalow city in the
East End; to Fcrt Ringer; to or from
Diamond Head; to the beautiful beach
homes and resorts at Kahala to the
charming Palolo valley and to other
points that have recently come to the
fore as added attractions to Honolulu,
and to reach these attractions in any
vehicle other than an electric eaf, one
must pass over this rotten piece of road.
gather from the controversy over
the street condition that the reason we
have such bad roads here is that there
is no money to repair or rebuild the
streets, and in that case / fail to see
any far-sightedness of the people of this
city supporting big band at an ex-
pense of thousands of dollars a year,
and letting the streets of the city go
to his Satanic majesty about as fast as
they can for the want of few dollars.
1t takes all kinds of people to make
a world, also to make city. and it is
quite evident we have few of each
kind here.

snlIIadE IN FuoDslUfFs FOR EUROPE


Ii the European war is of long duration, the

EFFECT OF FOREIGN VAR upon THE UNITED
STATES

Henry CIews, the New York fnancier, com
ments upon European war as follows:
'sThe effect of war upon the United States
will be highly injurious. Food products would
rise, and the taking of hundreds of thousands
of men out of employment in Europe would
mean a prolonged demand upon our food sup
plies The scarcity of labor abroad would also
be reflected here, resulting in higher wages in
some industries and a general further rise in
the cost of living. Probably some, industries
would benefit by the demand for war material,
and there would be better demand for our
manufactures of steel, textiles, etc, to meet the
vacancy caused by the loss of foreign trade
which Germany and other European nations
would inevitably incur. 1t is folly to suppose
that such wholesale destruction of life and
property could be of benefit to the world at
large.
"The drawback would not end in an increase
in the cost of living The worlds money mar
kets would be violently deranged, and our own
would ultimately feel the strain Higher i'll,
terest rates would surely follow the wholesale
destruction of capital, and much of the ref
nancing of the future which has sgotsto be met
would face serious obstacles. Our foreign
trade will be demoralized. The heavy foreign
sales of securities in this market were the main
cause of the large influx of gold, amounting for
the week to about $40 100000 on the current
movement More may be expected to follow,
but this country fortunately has a large sup.
ply of the precious metal, and these shipments
at the moment need excite no concern, though
if continued indefinitely they are sure to induce
firner rates for money. 1t is well known, how
ever, that the treasury will offer similar aid
TO last year for erop1noying purposes; this, OF
course, being a very reassuring feature. The
crop movement has already begun, and recent,
events are likely to hasten the export move,
ment of grain. Wheat has advanced 10 cents
and over, which means phenomenal prosperity
TO the western farmers, especially wheat grow
ers. Our wheat crop is now estimated at over
800 900 bushels and as the bulk of it is still
in farmers hands it follows that they and not.
intermediates will get the principal advantage
from high prices. Commodities generally are
rising owing to the prospective interference
with supplies in event of war.
"Closing of the exchange, however, was a
wise step. American buyers have, been absorb
ing European holdings at very attractive
prices, for many of our best stocks are now on
the bargain counter. Eventually Europe will
repurchase these shares, but at higher prices.
1t is many years since Europe has been so bare
of American stocks, and the present crisis
leaves the United States in an exceptionally
strong and favorable financial condition, so far
as concerns its relations with European coup-
tries"
