ing was spectacular. and from the
standpoint OF gunEery was most sue
cessful -
The very first shot demolished the
small pyramidal target that is towed
over the course as an aiming point
from which to plot constructive hits.
This necessitated a delay of nearly
two hours before a new target could
be procured and the practise compiet-
ed. 1t is stated unofficially that two
of the seven shots were hits and all
the others very close.
'The work of the 10th Company was

The tracers did not work properly,
probably owing to the fact that for

Emden, after a dramatic career, was smashed
by the Australian cruiser Sydney. The unpro-
tected cruiser COrmOrant, 1904 tons, was found
sunk in Tsingtau harbor after the Japanese

ish activity are the converted cruisers Spree

converted mine-layer KOenigin Luise; the sur
veying ship Move, the submarine U-l5 and the
destroyers V-157, S-106 and $50. An unnamed
destroyer was sunk in the North Sea.
Altogether this is a long list, even if most
of the craft are small or antiquated Never
theless, American writer's on naval affairs gen
orally agree that Germany has inflicted more
damage upon the British than the British have
inflicted on Germany, even when taking into
consideration the fact that the main German

cERMANY,s SEA LOSSES AND SEA
VICTORIES.

.Ger1nany's losses on the sea have attracted
less attention than those of Great Britain, and
vet the Kaiser's navy has been hard hit and
the German merchant marine practically swept
from the seas.
The defeat of the British squadron off Chile,
the sinking'of the superdreadn Audacions
under circumstances highly suggestive either
Of mine or torpedo, and the deadly attack
of the German submarine on the Cressy, Abou-
kir and Hogue have been of such spectacular
nature that the steady British. successes are
sometimes lost sight of. As a matter of fact
the British war-dogs have been doing consider
able execution themselves.
The following figures, like these given for
Britain few days ago, are moi They
are. however, the result of earefpl compiling OF
Associated Press reports and news sent to
America by authoritative repdEters
{ Late in November the British hoardsof trade
issued detailed report stating that after six
teen weeks of war 1913 per cent OF the German
merchant marine, represented BY III steam
ers. had been captured or sought refuge IN port.
In the same period, according to this statement,
g Der. cent or 195 British ships had been re-
moved from the mercantile service The dar-
inc raids of the Emden and the Karlsruhe ac-
cennted for nearly third of the British loss,

AN OPPORTUNITY IN A SCHOOL.

SchDfeld Barracks needs an additional
school teacher and beyond question ought to
] have it. The commissioner RS of public instruc-
ton are now meeting in Honolulu and the
Star Bulletin has no doubt that if the full and
true facts are brought to their attention, they
will supply the needed Instructor.
The facts, as briefly mentioned last week, are
convincing. At the present time only three
teachers are employed to teach the full eight
grades and the attendance at the school is large
and growing steadily. Those who are person
ally familiar with Schofeld conditions say that
while the three teachers are conscientious
and capable, they are given too much to handle
and that another instructor shoDld be employed.
thus giving each two grades to; preside over.
stAssto the general policy of meeting the needs
of. Schofeld Barracks, thereAis no question
whatever To afford adequate educational ia
ciIities for the children of officers, enlisted
men and civilian employees is aplain duty, and
a duty which the department Of public ipstruc-
ton, one has no doubt, will meet gladly.
Hawaii's reputation forlgood public schools is
consistently spreading and il should not be
impaired by furnishing inadequate facilities
for the large army population at Schofield Bar
racks. .-+. SsSs as
A large expenditure comes to the community
directly and indirectly from the biggest army

tributes very materially to the prosperity Of

cidedly constructive Let the territory give

of the territory and of the army post! Oahu

both in the education of future men and women
of the. United States and in the immediate good
opinion and appreciation of the army commun-

Most certainly it is not to be thought that
Hawaii's school funds are so depleted that
seven hundred dollars cannot be spared for
this worthy purpose. n
