audience, which frequently b.okc into

GERMANY DISLIKES
POLICY OF AMERICA
THE Dollar, No Matter
How You Get It," Sug-
gested as Motto.


London, Dec. 2O.-"The Daily Chron-
icle' says:
There is growing uneasiness in
Germany about the attitude Of the
United States. 1t begins to inter
through that the efforts Of Count Won
Bernstorf, DR.. Dernburg and Count
Won MInsterberg have not been
crowned with success and intelligent
Americans find increasing difficulty in
accepting their presentment Of the Ger
man idea. In several influential Ger
man newspapers the disposition is eyi-
de.t 10 cease the unsuccessful courtlng
Of the United States and to let them
know that the German people are not
satisfied with Amociccl views Of neu-
trality.
THE Kolnische Zeitung' prints an
article by a DR.. HeXGmer, German
American who tells his readers that he
IS not proud OF America. He sc,uses
the United States Of praying on S-n-
DAYS for peace and of supplying Eng
land and its allies with war n .terisls
on other days Of the week. This, he
exclaims, is hypocrisy and would 70
more consistent were America to re-
Hnouish her Sta Spangled Banner and
p-oud motto, Il Pluribus Unum,' ard
supply herself with a flag inscribed:
The dollar, no matter how you get 1t,
s long as you get It.
"Dr. Hexamer says he owes America,
but he is Just diagusted with d licy
which allows England 10 lead the coun-
trv Ly the nose and which allows Eng
land to slap its face and then licks the
hand that smtes il.
"The 'Magdeburgische Zeitung' says:
The German Foreign Office discIsscd
tn question Of replying to the Yellow
Book and rectifying its [ rors, D has
decided not to do So
Judge Lorenz Zeller, Of the Court
of Special Sessions, has received the
following letter from General Baron
Won Varnbueler, a prominent military
man of Stuttgart, Wortemberg, de-
scribng conditions at the front:
~ am at loss to understand how
Americans can be in favor Of the
Allies. for they are usually politically
very bright. If Germany and Austria
should be defeated, who would Amer
lea have as a support againsC the Eng
lish or against the ally of England,
Japan? In such a case the British
would not be satisfied TO search your
ships for contraband. They would in
deed whistle a different tune TO you
Your neutrality indeed rests on a pc
culiar foundation. You supply the
English Russians, French, but at the
same time allow them to prohibit you
from furnishing US with the same ma
terial. Is this JUST"
The "Doutsche Tageszeitung," Of
Berlin, also criticses the United States
for it's position on the neutrality ques-
ton. It declares that to allow Eng
land and France to contract for war
material in America is nothing less
than a military and economic support
Of the enemies Of Germany, and that
this support which America is giving
these two countries is nothing more
than the old form of subsidy and merely
a means Of continuing the present war.

The GOVERNORS APPOINTMENTS

The test of Governor Pnkham's policy in the
matter of appointments to territorial Offices is
the test of results.
The governor was appointed as Democrat,
by a Democratic president He will be looked
to by Washington to interpret into the affairs
of territorial government the policies, the aims,
the ideals of President Wilson and the Demo-
cratic administration in national government
No one with any knowledge of the problems the
governor is facing can expect that the chief
executive of the territory will do otherwise than
to surround himself with men who will not only
carry out the governors administrative ideals,
but carry them out with full symr .,thy, sincere
cooperation and the spirit of an eager and en-
thusiastic determination TO make the admins
tration a success
1t is obvious that the governors natural, logi-
cal and indisputable course is to make up his
"cabinet" of men who combine ability with this
characteristic of sincere cooperation with their
chief. ..

errors appointments is not so much in the kind

ONE new PLANK
INPLATFORM OF
THE BULL MOOSE
Aid to Small Farmers Urged
Some Minor Changes From
the Tentative Draft

The final draft Of the Progressive
party platform was completed yester-
day and announced today The plat
form is little different from that pub
lished several weeks ago in the Star
Bulletin, the tentative draft then sent
cut having been little changed by the
precinct clubs to which it was sub
mitted.
The only noticeable change of i'm
poTtance in the final draft is the ad-
dition of a plank indorsing tbs plaf
of an agricultural credits~System to
be put into effect. by. the territorial
government in connection with deFel-
Opment Of small farming The plank
is as follows:
"22. We believe that the revenue
from the lease of government lands
should be used to create a special
fund for the purpose of making loans
to individual owners and lessees of
agricultural lands"
The other changes are additions or
amendments to planks already out
lined, and are published below, the
changes being shown in blackface
type: ..-...
80. We believe that the next Iegis-
lature should call convention to re-
wise the charter of incorporation of
the city and county of Honolulu, and
should extend the same privilege to
the other counties.
10. We believe in the strict en-
forcement of the present liquor law,
and that the power of the commission
ers should be extended to permit
them to summon witnesses to testify
under oath. false swearing before the
commission to constitute perjury"
~. We believe that efficiency and
character should be the true tests of
public service, regardless of race, and
that all employees of the government
should receive appointment, promo,
ton or dismissal in accordance with
| well-dcfined rules of Civil Service"
