German Losses Heavy.

The Germans have lost heavily In
their preliminary operations, The Ant
werp correspondent of the Ddtly Tclc-
graph estimates their losses in killed
as not less than 5000, while they have
paid a staggering toll in wounded.
"The Belgians adopted n clever ruse
at Waelhem." says the correspondent,
After the bombardment had lasted sew
eral hours the forts ceased to reply.
whereupon the German STAFF thinking
the fort out of action ordered infantry
to advance in close formation. The
Belgian gunners waited until they could
see the whites of their eyes and then
opened a murderous fire.

The Car arrived at Brest- Litovsk
yesterday and was accompanied tc the
headquarters Of the commander In chief
and the General STAFF by Gen. Soukom-
lnoff, Minister of War. II Is conjectured
that the presence OF the monarch is for
the purpose Of a final conference with
the commander in chief before the man
blow against Germany is launched
\ despatch from Petrograd to the
Times says that the battle which is now
being fought in the province of Suwal<i
is destined 10 live in history as one of
the most important from the point of
view of the number Of men engaged and
the tactical and stratcgical results
achieved
The enemy's force aggregated 400 900
men even after the despatch Of num-
erous contingents to the Silesian theatre
and the Russians had about equal num-
bers.
The moral effect Of the great Russian
victory is destined to be incalculable,
especially in view Of the immnenCc OF
Il new invasion Of East Prussia.
The overthrow Of Gen. Won linden
burg's army will inevitably react upon
the whole plan of campaign in S!lesia.
1t Is probable that the Germans will
either develop an immediate offensive
movement in the direction Of the upper
Vistula or intrench themselves to await
a Russian attack.

EDITOR

Sault OF Democratic congressman on the civil
service system was commented upon. President
Wilson will do a service to his party and to the
country if he declines tOallOW his administration
to be used for playing politics with civil service
in order to provide jobs for party hcnchmen.
President Taft had the courage TO veto tn"
immigration bill because he believed the ltrrary
test provision was thoroughly obnoxious He in
creased his prestige by that stand
President Wilson signed the urgent deficiency
bill under protest, that bill removing deputy col
lectOrs of internal revenue and deputy marshals
from the civil service list. For signing this bill
the president was much criticised. His reply,
quietly made, was that he considered the sigma
ture necessary under the circumstances
He has taken a different stand now. And he
will be upheld by the sentiment of the country.
What is really needed is a change in the fed
eral constitution by which the president would
be enabled to veto particular items on the appro-
priation bills without invalidating the entire
bills. Then he could direct his opposition to the
offending items without imperilling tremendously
important legislation. The big appropriation
bills are the ones used for lacking on the Obiec-
tionable "riders, congressman knowing the
main measures are so important that in the ma
jOrity of cases the president will have to swallow
the riders and sign the bill.

government turns around and gives its business

THE ISSUE is NOT st1rLEl

The calm assumption on the part of repre-
sentative Of the liquor interests that the plebis-
cite Of 1910 settled prohibition in Hawaii for all
time is AN idea in which the rest of the commu-
niiy certainly does not concur
The issue Is not settled; i. will not be settled
until Hawaii has been freed from the liquor traf-
I'e and its cost Of crime poverty, greed and cor
fnption !, s. -
II there were any idea in 1910 that the plebis-
cite settled the issue the reekng crimes in these
last three years due directly to drunken de-
hauchery, would justify a reopening Of the issue
How many murders have been committed in
those three years by men robbed of their reason
through booze? How many nameless and shock
ing crimes of passion? How many men, women
and children made victims of want? How many
homes devastated? How many youths in posi-
tons of trust gone astray? How much waste?
How much folly? How much wrong?
Some will say, as some are already saving,
t|laf this is not matter for Congress to act
upon They will raise the old cry of 'Fhome
fule. They will argue that Hawaii is surren-
dering part of its right of selfgovernment in al
loving Congress to pass bill enaeting prohibi.

What is the right of self-government worth if
il is not used rightly? What is home-rule if it is
a rule of.blind selfishness, prejudice, apathy or
sllort-sightedness? =.

A $13.0oO,Ooo Deficit.

For nearly two weeks the state
tax commission has been wrestling
with the personal property assess
ment returns as made by the various
county boards Of assessment and the
task approaches the Herculean. How
to make up deficit of nearly $751;
100000 which is the difference be-
tween the returns this year and the
assessment agreed to by the board a
year ago is the chief difficulty and a
settlement of the same may call for
an arbitrary increase in more than
half of the counties of the state.
The returns as made by the va
rious counties show a decided falling
off in more than half of the items in
the four classes of personal property
listed. This year returns are made
on the basis Of Is, SO 1-3, 40 and
so per cent Of the valuation, the first
named figure covering household
property and this lin measure may
be responsible, but in the minus of
the tax commission, it hardly covers
the big discrepancy between last
years assessment as made by the
commission and this years returns
In 1913 the total assessed value
for all personal property in the state
as fixed upon by the tax commission
