EDITOR
WILL PROVE THE TERRIToRY'S
SINCERITY.

The territory's move to build some home
stead roads on Maui by the use of territorial
prisoners is a move in the right direction. The
main reason why prisoners have not been used
in numbers for road-work in Hawaii before
this is that county and territorial officials con-
sidered the matter from political standpoint
fearing to lose votes if the electorate thought
citizen laborers were kept out of job because
prisoners were set to work on the highways
The fallacy of this reasoning is apparent
Shortage of funds for road-work is a. fairly
chronic condition in Hawaii and under this con
dition the citizen laborers are out of work any
way. Many months ago this paper advocated
the use of prisoners on the roads where no cit
izen labor would be displaced.
Maui needs the highways desperately, there
is no question about that The homesteaders
have staked their future on the hazardous ex-
pertinent in Haiku district. Al failure of this
experiment would not only ruin many if not
all Of the small farmers, but would give to the
territorial demonstrating system black eye
would discredit the sincerity of Hawaii's eff
forts to build up American communities.

is THIS FAIR PLAY?

Honolulu. I. H.. Oct. Is. 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star-BulIetin,
Sir: Do you consider it is fair to
supply the German warship now in
port with Australian coal, specially re-
leased from Australia on account of
friendly relations existing between
Australia and America, and more es-
pecially in view OF the fact that the
German warship is accompanied by a
collier and is not destitute of coal?
Do you consider it is fair to supply
meat to a German war vessel, in view
of the appeal made to Australia by the
United States re island meat supply,
and the exception made by Australia
in our favor Would not Australia be
justified in cutting off, without warn
ing, the coal and meat supply for these
islands, as she certainly does not sup
ply us with these commodities to have
us, in turn supply a national ship OF
her enemies:
In short, are we playing the game
in pleading poverty in coal and meats
to Australia, obtaining valuable con-
cessions from her in relation thereto,
and supplying her enemies Herewith?
Yours very truly, "
FAIR PLAY.

A NEW RULING ON WAR LOANS.

The Star Bulletin commented editorially yes
terday upon the peculiar Interpretation of neu-
trality under which the administration pro-
hibited war loans to belligerent powers and
yet allowed those powers to purchase war ma
terial direct from the United States.
Last night the following Associated Press
despatch brought the news that this original
policy had been materially modified:
aWASHINGTON, Oct 16.-The early and
unofficial intimation given by President Will
son that he would regard the participation of
Americans in any foreign war loan for the bene-
fit of any of the belligerent nations in Europe
as not in line with the spirit of his neutrality
proclamation has been officially overruled.
!. yesterday it was announced that the Off
Gals Of the administration, to whom the ques-
ton had been submitted, had ruled that loans
to belligere1t nations by individual Americans,
and by private firms are in the same class with
ordinary commercial transactions, to be con-
Quoted at the risk Of the individual or firm,
but in no sense to be regarded as a violation OF
the rules of national neutrality
Presumably j. P. Morgan & Co. can now pro-
coed if they wish to loan the French govern
ment $100000,O00
It will be interesting to see how inanciers
regard the ultimate result of the European war.
They will hesitate to make huge loan to the
side they believe destined to disastrous defeat
IN the end.

DIVORCED MAN GIVEN
SECOND FREEDOM IN
LOCAL COURT TODAY

William H. Hindle, whose wife OBJ
tanned an interlocutory decree OF d.
vorce in Alameda county on October
5, was granted a separate and distinct
decree by Circuit Judge Whitney this
morning, on the ground OF desertion.
This is an unusual feature, the like
Of which probably never before oc-
Cured in divorce court of the terri
tory.
Whether a decree granted in Cali
fornia would have effect in Hawaii
has probably never been treated here,
though there seems to be little doubt
that it would. But the husband in the
present case was particularly anxious
to have a decree effective at once.
while the interlocutory decree OBJ
tanned by Mrs. Hindle is under a spe-
cial California law which grants a
separation but does not become eff
fectiVe until year later On this
theory the California decree therefore
would not be effective until October
Of next year Hence that granted by
Judge Whitney should have prior eff
feet.

CHINESE LAB0RERS
CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS
AID OF EUROPEANS

Chinese workers in the rice and taro
fields at HanHla, to the number Of SO,
have become interested in the matter
of relieving the sufferings OF the Wild
ows and orphans in the warinfested
countries OF Europe To the extent that
they have contributed 5000 toward
the funds now being raised in Hawaii
by the War Relief Committee.
When member of the relief com
mittee opened a letter this morning
from William Me.luaid, manager Of the
Kooiau Agricultural Company, and the
committees agent for windward Oahu,
a check for the foregoing amount flut-
tered out. In company with the check
was a list of the names Of those Chi

JAPANESE PETITION
FOR CITIZENSHIP IS
ACCEPTED IN HONOLULU

A petition for citizenship, fled in
the office of the clerk Of the federal
court by Takao Ozawa, q native OF
Japan, this morning was accepted by
Clerk Augustus, e. Murphy. According
to Mr.. Murphy this is the first instance
in which the application Of Japan
csc, net Hawaiian-born, has been ac-
copied
The petition was accepted by Mr..
Murphy following his explanation to
the Japanese. that the petition will be
heard in open court, and that the court
will decide whether he shall be given
the rights of naturalization. Ozawa
appeared in the clerks office this
morning in company with two wit
nesses, L. A. Perry and B. HI. Clarke.
The Japanese applied for a petition
for citizenship several weeks ago, the
petition having been refused under
section 1859 Of the Revised Statutes.
Clerk Murphy took the matter up with
the naturalization authorities In Wash
ington, D. c., and received recently a
communication from R K Campbell,
chief of the division Of naturalization,
advising that he accept the petition
for citizenship and let the matter Of
naturalization lie with the court.
Clerk Murphy says that the authori-
ties show that all applications which
have been made by Japanese for citi-
zenship in the United States have
been rejected In September, 1908, a
Japanese desired to file in the federal
court a petition for citizenship The
petition was refused by Mr.. Murphy,
and his action upheld by the naturali-
zation authorities in Washington.
Ozawa. the present petitioner, was
born in Japan and for the past six
years has been an employee of T. II.

GERMAN ATROCITIES DENIED.

The Star-Bulletin said weeks ago that better
nro6f Of German atrocities would have to be
forthcoming than had then been furnished to
stamp the horrible statements from Paris, Ian
don and various Belgian cities with the stamp
81 truth. Later developments confirm that
opinion.
Oi September II the Chicago Tribune pub
';shed q full-page article from James 0'Don-
nell Bennett, one Of its war correspondents. He
had been for weeks IN the field with the German
forees-1icllt in the red wake of war. He saw,
IS he frankly and in detail states, much OF its
devastation, ruthlessness, machine-like brutal
;fy. But he saw not one instance Of atroclty
visited upon an innocent non-combatant.
Bennett q statement is subscribed to by John
q. NcCutcheon, also of the Tribune, irwin >.
Cobb Of the Saturday Evening Post Roger
Lewis Of the Associated Press and Harry Han
sen Of the Chicago Daily News.
These men do not lie. Their statements are
above suspicion. They are known to be ac-
curate observers, trained newspapermen. They
have no bias toward the Germans indeed BEN
nett says that they all felt little resentful at
the restrictions put on them by the German
officers But they have all subscribed to the
earnest statement that amid all the desperate
horrors Of war they found not one instance Of
ssatrocity. y
Instead they found the German soldiers re-
,narkably well-behaved, sober, self-controlled,
under moral as well as physical restraint
II is well to remember these things America
has been treated to food of accusation against
the Germans Undoubtedly they have leyeled
villages and towns, visiting terrific punishment
when civilians in ambush fired on their troops
But of reckless, murderous passion, of uncon-
trolled revenge, Of barbaric and fiendlsh cruel
ties upon prisoners women and children they
have not been guilty, so far as five trained
American observers could discover.
We would rather take the word OF these
American newspapermen than the statements
Of any Of the belhgerents

PUBLIC OPINION AND OFFICIAL WASTE

This comment comes from the report of the
commission that investigated Hawaii county s
financial tangle 1t refers particularly to the
inexcusable waste of public funds and the pos
sible restriction on this waste:
Finally, we would say that the most potent
sriction Of all is an enlightened and informed pub
lie opinion. The basis of this is good methods Of
reporting and full publicity at the right time Re-
strictive measures only fulfill their purpose ade-
ouately in the presence of a watchful and alert
citizenship equipped with knowledge of essential
details and therefore, in position 10 critieise per-
Torrance and demand results intelligently.
The observation is pertinent to the situation
on Oahu in view Of the fact that the present
board of supervisors has spent hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in the last two years on
alleged street and road improvements.
