sells of beligerents and the interning of any Ger
man, British, or other warships that may put
into American ports for reftting after damage
in d naval battle off American coasts.
The question of granting asylum is considered
a very important one. The question of the so.
journ of belligerent vessels in American ports
was raised in 1901 in the case of the Lena in
the harbOr of San Francisco
This case of the Lena has already been re.
ferred to in the Star Bulletin The Lena was
Russian auxiliary cruiser, which arrived at
San Francisco from NladivOstok under COM
mand of Lieutenant Berlinsky. She had an
armament of % guns, a crew of 504 men and
16 officers Her engines were greatly damaged
and it was found it would take month to re-
pair them. As soon as the Lena arrived at San
Francisco the Japanse consul at San Francisco,
Uyeno, sent telegram to his government, which
sent a telegram to the japanese minister at
Washington saying that the Japanese govern
ment expects that appropriate measures re.
garding the matter will be taken by the United
States government without delay"
The president directed that the Lena be dis.
mantled and the officers and crew be paroled
not to leave San Francisco. The Russian am
bassador asked that officers and crew be allow.
ed to leave the United States but Japan pro-
tested and the president decided that the repa-
triation of the Russians was not permissible,
under strict neutrality, unless both belligerents
agreed TO it. Therefore the Lena was interned
in San Francisco and her officers and crew held
there.
As President Wilson insists on the United
States observing neutrality quite as strict as in
the case mentioned above, it is probable that if
a war-yessel of one of the powers now belliger-
ent should arrive in Honolulu harbor it would
be informed here and the officers and men would
have to remain.

JAPAN AND GREAT BRITAIN
WORK TOGETHER

The conjecture in these columns some days
ago that Japan's war program has been entered
into with the full knowledge and the encourage.
ment of Great Britain is amply borne out by
Premier Okuma's statement yesterday. Count
Okuma says that evidence will be forthcoming
at the proper time to show that Great Britain
requested Japan's assistance and has approved
her entire plans, which were adopted in mutual
consultation
In this fact lies much reinsurance for the
United States. Englands entire diplomatic
course is founded on a long look ahead for the
most advantageous result. In this case it is to
Great Britain's advantage quite as much as to
the protection of American interests that Japan
take no aggressive action against German island
possessions in the Pacific. 1t is also to Great
Britain's advantage that Japan raise no cause
for friction with Uncle Sam, for such situation
would place Great Britain. in an ugly dilemma
Every tie of blood and natural utilization would
sway Great Britain to stand with the United
States, and on the other hand her alliance with
Japan, doubly strengthened by Japan's recent
action, would call for cooperation with the Mi
kado's Empire
Between these alternatives Great Britain will
not wish to choose Her wisest policy is to in.
sist that Japan take a course not hostile to
American interests in the slightest degree. And
Japan, not ready for a great war off the Asian
continent, and further not basieally anxious TO,
oppose her American friend, has no reason to-
run counter to Britains wishes.

THE LICENSE BOARD AND CLOSED
MEETINGS.

Honolulu, Aug. q. 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
Sir.-The intelligent public must
be pleased with the stand you take iE
regard to the meetings Of the board OF
license commissioners. We all know
full well that the duties resting upon
the five gentlemen who compose the
board are difficult The liquor traffic
invariably creates a difficult situation
in civic control. We sympathize with
the men whose responsibility it is to
regulate this public nuisance. They
are obliged to interpret complicate1
law and enforce its strange provisions.
What other line of business requires
guards? The public expense involved
for the maintenance of strong drink
is tremendous. II might we'll be asked
why 1t should be regarded as a privil.
eyed traffic when other lines Of bust.
ness quietly and peacefully pursue
their normal, natural lines. Moreover.
the men engaged in the traffic do not
assist these public spirited gentlemen
serving the city and county without
remuneration enc little bit There is
no class OF business men with whom
it is harder to deal. They are so in.
s1stent. suspicious and quarrelsome
amcng themselves The relation OF
the police to~the traffic has also to be
considered as well as the hideous
question of revenue We should in
deed sympathize with the commission
ers and yet we are convinced that
their duties would in due time become
less difficult to discharge if the board
wholly abandons its private sessions
and takes sympathetic, intelligent
public. whose interests are at stake.
into its confidence. Why not try 1t
for a season, anyway?
Yours sincerely
CITIZEN.

Sailors, marines and other navy men

pository for funds in the Young Mems
Christian Association if the present
plans of Assistant Paymaster Rich

it is his idea to nave the sailors de-
post their money with. the association
after banking hours. As they are gen.

toward the association as place
where their money would be safely

M ISTAKE IN ATTITUDE

About half of the so-called .ssoldier problem
in Honolulu exists in the minds of few people
Who perhaps unconscionslg adopt patronizing
manner when talking of the enlisted man of
Oahu
In this opinion the Star Bulletin is confirmed
BY the tone Of letters that come to the editor al.
most daily and sometimes twice or thrice day
letters usually anonymous but in which the
soldier evidently speaks frankly and with sim
cerity. Some of the letters are so Incorporate
IN expression that they can't be published but
the great majority are obviously written by men
who are talking from the shoulder because their
feelings are stirred to plain expression.
The soldier doesn't want to be patronized. He
doesn't want to be mollycoddled or pampered.
What he wants is a legitimate chance to live
IN an American community, to amuse himself in
legitimate way, to develop his personal inter
ests without being referred to as "problem"
and without himself and his fellows being looked
upon as Glass
The soldier can solve his own ssproblem."
He will solve it all the quicker if he lis given the
right to patronize instead of being patronized
ITO patronize local amusements, take part in
local enterprises like anybody else. The Sc.
curing of the privilege of wearing civilian cloth
ing will be one long forward step.

EXTENSION OF RoozE-sELLINe
PRIVILEGES.

Honolulu, Aug "a.
Editor Honolulu Star-BuIletin: ~
Sir.-And SO the creditors of the
Waikiki Inn want the drinking public
OF Honolulu to help them cut in the
loss they are about to entail through
poor management by a license to sell
booze after hours. Now, while the law
gives the liquor commission the right
to grant this privilege, do not believe
it was intended that they should do So
Such privileges were not granted un.
der our old laws and II was not the in.
tenticn of the people to enlarge on
the old privileges when the new law
wss passed As ii is now, there is
far more liquor consumed than former.
N. end why in the name Of goodness
should the privileges be extended
Can't drinkers get satisfied before
midnight? Is it intended to place
liquor before the women and girls and
boys who attend the dances so gen
ercusly advertised at these places that
this after hour privilege is wanted?
i believe the law intended by control,
TO reduce the consumption rather than
increase it with special privileges. Is
regulation failure? am glad to see
your paper uninfiuenced by page ad-
vert 'sements from liquor houses And
desire to call the attention of the
public TO the fact that liquors are now
dispensed at about every place in the
city where public dances are held,
where our young people congregste for
pleasure. And at how many of these
places is fortified punch" passed
