H. {. WESTCOTT !.
TO AUDIT BOOKS
I FOR TREASURER
c. J. Mccarthy Announces That
Accountant Will Commence
- Work Next Monday

Territorial Treasurer c. J. Nc
Carthy announced today that he has
appointed H. E. Westeott, an expert
accountant, to undertake the first
semi-annuai audit of the books of the
Oahu city and county auditor and
treasurer The accountant is to be-
gin his work on the records next Mon
day.
Though the last legislature passed
a law, Act IS, s. l.. 1913, requiring
semi-annuaI audit of the county rec
ords and the statute went into effect
July l. 1918, the Oahu county books
have not been inspected under its pro-,
visions yet, nearly Is months later.
The law affects the other islands as
we'll and Treasurer Mccarthy will at.
tend to that duty personally. but he
states he is appointing Westcott to
handle the Oahu job now because
much of the work to be reviewed was
done by Col. Mccarthy during his
term as county treasurer He did
not think it would be right that he
should attempt to audit accounts
which he himself had made.
For the audit of the Oahu county
records the county, under the act, is
required to set aside an appropriation
of $500 every six months-the other
islands are required to pay only 500
each for the accounting-and the
funds are in the territorial treasury
and available for the expense. 81

WAR GEOGRAPHY.

Both Newport and Dixemude, focus of the
heaviest fighting on the Continent today, have
had their share of the historic battles Of the
past: Newport is Belgian town half a mile
from the seacoast and halfway between 0stend
and the French border The town is on the User
river. 1t is badly blilt and unhealthy situated,
yet many people are attracted there every sum-
mer by its bathing facilities. The town was re-
dueed to ruins BY the English in 1883, but was
rebuilt two years later and fortified by Philip
the Bold. The French captured it in 1745, 1892
and 1894 The :fanfeus battle OF the Dunes, in
which Maurice of-Nassau defeated the Spanish,
was fought here in''l600. Its lighthouse was
elected in 1884. ShipbHilding, rope and net
making, and ishingtare its chief industries 1t
has population of about 1000. pr ~.
Dixemude, now occupied by the Germans and
made the frontal base for another drive for
ward toward the French ports of Dunkirk and
Calais, is so miles from the latter. It is IN
West Flanders, Belgium, in the fertile district
called Freyeland, IA miles south of Ostend and
II miles north of Ypres, on the User river. 1t
is a typical, eldfashioned Belgian place, which
has changed comparatively little in the last
century. In 1850 its population was 5000; at
the outbreak of the war it had few more than
1000 inhabitants DiSemude is known for it's.
butter, cheese and beer, and has an active trade
in salt horses and cattle. The citizens of
Bruges besieged the town in 1850, and the peo-
pie of Client stormed it a few years later. The
French took Bixemude in 1647, 1858, 1863 and
1886, It's church of the sixteenth century cons
tains many famous works of art.

BRITISH INVENTION
PLAYS HAVOC WITH
THE ALLIED FORCES
ASSOCIATED Pressl .

LONDON. Eng -Sllrapnel, which
has done far more damage to the AL.
lies than the German rifle fire, Is q
British invention over century old.
Its inventor was Gen Shrapnel, an
English officer who was born in I761
and given a commission In the royal
artillery in 1879 The thought came
to him during the war In Flanders,
where he was impressed by the trifling
effect of round shot against troops and
the limited range OF grape His shell,
filed with balls and powder and ig.l
nited by time fuse, was adopted by
the British army in 1892 and played an,
important part in the Penfnsular war
under Wellington and also at Water
loo. The secret of it's action was I'M.
known outside of Britain until 1894.
With the customary fngratitude of.
governments, Gen. Shrapnel was never
reimbursed for the expense OF his ex-.
periments. All he received was 1900,
pounds a year $4,000 and the offer Of
q baronetcy he could not afford to ac-
cept. He died in 1872 a bitter old,
man.
DR.. Louis Seaman, the American ex.
pert who has visited the hospitals Of
the Allies at the front, says that the
German shells break into large pieces
and do little damage compared with
those used by the Japanese against
Russia. which were torn into showers
OF steel splinters. But the shrapnel
bullets make ragged wounds and. also
carry injecting materials with them,
causing a large percentage OF deaths
from blood poisoning.

THE CENSORSHIP ABROAD.

Dissatisfaction with the British censorship
has reached significant point not only in
America. hut in Great Britain. The New York
Evening Post IN long editorial declares:
That the British censorship of the war
news has reflected credit neither upon the in
telRgence>of the officials nor upon their repu-
tation for fair play IS daily beconing more and
more evident. It has plainly been controlled
chiefly by a desire to conceal from the rest of
the world the extent Of any German successes,
to blacken the enemy's character as much as
possible, and generally to win the aid of public
opinion in the United States by fair means or
foul, If need be- This is strong language, but it
is justified, The censorship may not be re-
sponsible for the deliberate Justification Of the
official German despatch OF September III,
which we printed ia our Issue Of October 10;
but If ii Is not, that merely transfers the blame
to the newspapers which printed the despatch,
or to the news association which supplied it.
We have reason to believe that the German
press is justified In asserting that this is not
the only case in which official dispatches have
been altered to German disadvantage. Major
Redway, in the London Globe, has charged that
eve must learn to look upon the manufacture
of mendacities during the war as heroic at
tempt to keep us going in the absence of truth. :
Mr.. Herbert Corey, correspondent Of our con-
temporary, the New York Globe, yesterday
fatty charged that British censors were forging
dispatches, and states that Hilaire Belize is
protesting in a weekly journal that the censor
ship is steadily misleading the British public.
THAT the British reputation for manliness
and square dealing towards an adversary is
TINS much impaired, is one Of the saddest facts
about the war. Englishmen have always been
held MP to our youth as model sportslnen; now
it appears that when they enter into great
war they strike below the belt. That the Brit
isil public itself would never approve of this
policy, we are certain; but thus far British pro-
tests have naturally dwelt much less upon the
dishonorable side of the censorship than upon
its stupidities. OF these there are no end.
In Germany they have strict censorship,
but have given daily official bulletins, which
& ON the whole have proved quite reliable and
bear no marks of deliberate attempt to de-
ceive, though they are careful to suppress when
things 60 badly, or at least to palliate Their
correspondents in the field are, however, grumb-
ling. as are their confreres in France and Eng
land. The German government does, however,
allow fun discussion by experts, and some of
these are usually highly illuminated and in
formatory.'
