HAWAII AUDIT EXHIBIT


Samples of the unsigned and unendorsed pa
per of the County of Hawaii which passed cur
rent among the business houses of HiIo are given
in this issue of the Star Bulletin.
We give these samples in order that our read
efs who are not familiar with business paper
may see what the county documents look like
and better understand the discussion which
may take place in the future
This paper is not in position to charge or
even intimate that the First Bank of Hilo or any
by this eaPelessness. +
On the other hand we are prepared to say
that business organizations which allowed such
conditions as this to prevail without a protest
are hanging around on the verge of criminal
carelessness We do say that our whole com,
munity ought to be ashamed for allowing such
state of affairs to 60 and furnish, as it did
furnish, fertile ground on which the seeds of
corruption found everything favorable to rapid
growth. -.... u
This shows how the much Wanted exactness
and accuracy of ssbusness' falls down complete
~ when itllas not behind it the exacting human
factor of character and efficiency.
We are informed Ivy the dispatches from Hilo
that the Hawaii Probe Commission believes that
there is an explanation for all these short COM
ings All right We do not doubt it The ex-
planationscan only develop that there is nothing
criminal about the lack of exact method 1T
cannot possibly furnish any basis for an argu.
nlent that the methods pursued were good bust
ness and should be continued. Not much.
So, what we have in mind is, the present and
the future
We believe that merely the samples brought
oh frAda
should arouse the Governor of the territory to
action, as well as the people of our municipal
subdivisions.
Hawaii has a territorial auditor and a bank
examiner
What have these officials been doing?
If ii. was not any of their business to learn of
these things, what is their business?
is the duty of these officers done when they
have received a statement from the counties and
passed it on with the remark s.this is it, or,
when they have gone over records handed them
and return the report sthe records are all there?
Does a we'll managed business employ an audi
tor and an examiner merely to declare that the

that what everyone else is saying in trying TO

their responsibility and are willing to accept

progressive methods. Give us the care and

rend and flowers to decorate their cells.

Workmanship, as follows:
"On the firing line the Germans seem
to have more ammunition than is good
for them, and they keep firing away at
least ten rounds for every one of ours
without doing half the damage, or any
thing like it.
There doesn't appear to be man
among them who could score pull g
eye once in Il hundred shots, and as for
making a good show at Bisley, they sim
ply couldn't do it anyhow. German pris-
oners admit that they are bad shots. and
they are amazed at the way we pepper
them when they are advancing.
ITS very jolly in camp in spite of all
the drawbacks of active service, and we
have lively times when the Germans
aren't hanging around to pay their re-
spects.
ITS a fine sight to see us on the
march, swinging along the roads as hap
py as schoolboys and singing all the
old songs we can think of. The tunes are
sometimes a bit out, but nobody minds
so long as we're happy.

Likened to Napoleon S
Crossing of Alps.
PETRoGRAD. Sept, 30,


Napoleon's feat in crossing the Alps
may be duplicated by the Russians.
one of the outstanding features ~ the
war has been the passage OF the Carpa-
THAN Mountains by the Russian army
which is invading Hungary,
Details were received here today, Some
OF the passes through which the Russians
made their way have an altitude of 5000
feet and lie between heights continuauy
capped with snow. The roads were steep
and narrow and the Russians made most
of their marches AT night so as to es-
cape ambuscades. There We're steep cliffs
to be overcome and stretches OF terri
tory to be traversed where the incline
was so sharp that the soldiers had to fix
their bayonets to their rifles and use
them as alpenstocks,
The task OF hauling supply trains over
this territory was tremendous one. The
hardships of the invaders We're multiplied
by the scarcity OF roads.
Fortunately for the Russians they met
with little resistance. The Austrian sol
diers posted on the western slopes of
the Carpathians fled at the approach OF
the Russian vanguard The invaders
were accompanied by horIes of Cossacks.
and their feat i'm getting their horses up
and down the steep mountain slopes has
aroused the admiration of the empire
II seems that the AustTians are aban-
doning eastern Hungary to its fate in or
der to cooperate with the Germans
In descending the plains west of the
Carpathians the Russians Will find their
greatest obstacles along the banks uf
the Tisza River, which is lined with
marshland
So far as known, there are no strong
fortresses between the western foothills
OF the Carpathians and tho Tiszu River.
