SNARE Of PEACE"
As DANGEROUS AS
WAR, SAYS TEMPS
COMPLIMENTS PRESIDENT WILL
SON UPON REFUSING TO EN-
BARK UPON A RISKY MEDIA
TIoN, WHICH WAS BOUND
TO FAIL.

Paris. Sept. 2s.-The Temps this
afternoon, in an editorial under the
caption The Snare of Peace" says
the latter Is equally as dangerous as
war The Temps expresses fear that
the absorption OF all minds in the
tragic duel now proceeding may blind
the people to the work that is being
carried on to divide and paralyze the
allies by deceitful prospectives OF q
So called honorable arrangement. The
paper adds:
bring details of the latest effort in this
direction, which undoubtedly will not
be the last. The English. with clear
common sense, refused for moment
to be >enveloped by this turning move
ment which was tried in America. The
Frenoh will show tbs same flrmness
and once moro the inventors of under
hand combinations will have labored
in vain.
The ingenious means OF American
mediation, which tended to. bring to
the front the respected influence Of
President Wilson, has failed. It was
bound to fail. now that the United
States has been enlightened by the
CONGREGATIONS in Belgium and France
in regard to the type Of humanity
which imperialist Germany represents.
The president has refused to COM
promise himself In risky mediation
which would only end in dividing and
misleading the efforts OF those who
are defending themselves, while aid
ing the aims OF their aggressors.
President Wilson. before embark
ing on the Wediation which had been
suggested to Him, asked the Berlin
chancellory to specify its Intentions
somewhat. The chancellory replied
substantially that Germany would
willingly listen to mediation proposals.
but absolutely cannot do so while Eng
land keeps on declaring that the war
must be to the knife and without
mercy.
Germany. according TO the reply OF
the chancellory, Ia willing to admit
that the chances OF war are equal at
the present moment, but insists that
the empire mus be kept intact in
Europe. and 1t must remain master
OF its destin!es- II these conditions
are not granted Germany will fight
while a single man remains"
The Temps brands this response as
a new manifestation Of the unhealthy
pride Of the imperial government
which believes itself to be intangible
by saying:
France in council with her allies
will not be the voice Of feebleness. No
more than England or Russia will
she bend beneath the test Of war. nor
allow herself to be tempted by the
snare OF peace"

A COMMISSION THAT is
HANDICAPPED

The public utilities act passed by the last
legislature is not the best act Of its sort in the
United States but il is good enough to be worth
the support of the territorial government until
such time as it can be improved upon.
Some discussion took place last year among
the legislators as to whether the act had
enough teeth to make it effective 1t was
admittedly a compromise measure "a compro-
mise between two or three weak and unwieldy
bills and a sharp, radical bill that had no
chance whatever of passing either house.
The present law was enacted as an expert
ment. Secretary Of the Interior Fisher S in
vestigafion of Hawaiian conditions a year be-
for had centralized attention upon the adyisa-
bility Of creating public service commission
Of somelsort. The subject was new to most of
the legislators of 1913 just as it was new to
many of the businessmen Of Hawaii who were
directors or stockholders Of affected corpora
tions. The session Of the 1913 slegSs lature was
plainly Too short to perfect ideal legislation
and the public utilities act was passed as a
trial measure whose defects would be shown in
the next two years, and with the express state
ments Of several leading legislators that in
1915 the holes would be chinked up and the
missing teetlp supplied.
Since the resignation of Chairman r. Al.
