decessor, the iron chancellor" In that
event the world would not today be
mourning q Belgium In ruins, g populs-
ton Of over 100000 practically home
less, her cathedrals and universities, her
treasures Of architecture and Of art every
where destroyed! And II Is q safe guess
that had the treaty been observed and
Belgium left intact, the Germans would
have no occasion to complain today OF
the hostility Of the American people and
press, as the great duel between the na-
tions would in that event have been
fought out upon its merits, and the
American public would have looked on
with a much more impartial eye.
'As 1t is. a large part OF the burden
OF relieving this colossal unspeakable
distress VIII fall upon our countrymen.
q burden which We must and VIII not
attempt to shirk, even though we have
heavy responsibility ever with US, In
relieving, the urgent want OF our own
great army Of unemployed"
In closing her remarks on Belgium,
Miss Richards stated that in case any
German-American patron felt aggrieved
by her presentation Of the case she
thought it only right to offer to refund
the price Of the season ticket to any
such patron. At latest advices no one
had applied.
The third part of the talk. relative to
her journey from Switzerland to Paris,
In escaping from the so-calfed war
zone" was In much lighter vein
Beginning with the statement that her
original party Of two. consisting Of her
self and her friend, Miss Cornelia Grams,
had suddenly expanded to q party Of
eight, several Of whom had asked the
privilege Of escaping with US, because,
as they put II, I'VE were such old and
experienced travellers" Miss Richards
recounted in rapid and humorous style
the story OF their ''perilous journey
first from Lucerne to Berne, then to
Geneva, and then, after difficulties nu-
merous and amusing, how they finally
(after a three hours wait in line under
hot August SUM had boarded the
Paris train at Geneva, with every as
surance from many officials that 1t was
really a through train" and that II
would reach Paris at most In from
twenty to twenty-six hours.

KAUAI TO WELCOME AD CLUB

Who is it says that Kauai doesn't welcome
the visitor?
That'isn't the spirit Of the Garden Island or
of the Kauai people who are planning to vel
come the AID Club excursion next Saturday
morning.
Editor L. d. Timmons devotes most of this
weeks issue Of the Garden Island to the Ad
Club trip. The issue is very neatly gotten up
and contains much information about Kauai
that will be valuable to the Ad Club members
on their trip. 1t is abundantly illustrated with
pictures Of the AID Club leaders.
Editorially the paper says:
1To the Ad Club We would say: Gentlemen,
you are thrice welcome. Enjoy yourselves. Tell
Ms what you are-what You are seeking to ac-
eomplish; what good may come to the people Of
Kauai as a result of the adoption of your ideas,
and what you term the AID Club spirit We are
ready to learn-to be shown, if you will. While
doingal this remember that we have much for
you to see on the Garden Island. Keep your
eyes and ears on the alert, and endeavor to
clean in your more or less rapid tour correct Inn
pressions Of our scenery, our individual efforts
and accomplishments, our roads, our schools and
our people. Do this, and your visit, we feel sure,

THE TINES SEES A REAL PERIL

Civil war in ireland seems impossible to most
of the rest of the world, but the London Times
takes the gravely alarming view that il the gov
eminent persists in its firm intention to put
through the home rule bill in its present form
civil war is inevitable.
Commenting on the refusal of Britons gen
orally to place any credence in listers threats
to fight, the famous organ says:
s.This feeling of security, which rests entire
ly on habit, and has no basis in reason, is quite
worthless People would not believe in the Bal
kan war the other day till it happened. They
lid not believe in the Spanish American war or
the Russo-Japanese war. If anyone had fore
told the foundering of the Titanic on her maid
en- voyage it would have been laughed aside as
an impossibility. Two years ago people would
not believe that the coal strike would ever take
place, even when it had become plainly inevi-
table to those who could see what was going on.
The present danger of civil war is very similar.
If the government continue on the present
course, as some of their followers are urging
them, civil war is absolutely inevitable. The
failure of any section of the public to under
stand it or believe it is worth no more than
their failure to anticipate the coal strike 1t is
due to a silly confidence that nothing so dis
agreeable can happen to us, whatever may be
the case in Mexico. All serious students of
Home Rule and Ireland now know better. To
insist upon the imminence of this great nation
III peril which only the government can avert, is
the prime duty Of the opposition in the session
which now enters on the business of the nation. 2

FRIENDS OF HAWAII At WORK

A good deal of quiet but none the less signif-
icant work on behalf of Hawaii's sugar is being
done by chance visitors to the islands who from
first-hand observation learn that the free-sugar
policy is ruinous to this territory
An example of this is found in an article in
the Sacramento News by DR. +. L. Atkinson,
who in the course of worldtour stopped off
here with friends. An appreciatiye letter on
tile charms of Hawaii contains the following
comment:
Seems of the Pacific these islands are call
ed, but as a white mans land they must be
planted Sugar is the great crop and probably
always will be while the islands are swayed by
whites. But j ann sorry to find that the white
man here is much distressed over the tariff be-
ing taken off Of sugar, leaving him to compete
with the world in the production of this staple
So far as soil is concerned, he could do that sue
cessfulIy but the question of labor and wages
cuts a great figure here. In these islands the
planters have to pay approximately a dollar a
day for farm labor against price of IA cents a
day in Java and the Philippines. This bad ma
fional policy of free sugar threatens the life of
the islands so far as the white population is
concerned, sugar being the one great crop

Last night the University Club was
the scene of brilliant farewell re-

down to the meal, while practically
every officer in Honolulu and the
nearby pests, and many from Scho-

course of the evening to say good-by
to the former department and brigade
commander.
There were toasts and songs and
generally judicious mixture of
things serious and frivolous that made
the evening big success, and helped
to tighten the regrets of saying good
by.

Georgia is one of the states great

will be done through the national

IF the naval stores people" con
