CRITICISM OF FRENCH TACTICS

Some severe criticism of the tactics of the
Allies in Belgium is being voiced by military
observers in America. Quite naturally neither
French nor British papers have anything of
the kind to say
The criticism of the Allies is that they failed
to realize the strength of the German thunder
bolt that was being launched through Belgium
at France. Because the gallant little Belgian
army was unable to hold Liege for several days
in the face of furious attack, the French
commanders are accused of Understanding
the German forces and consequently failing
properly to back up the Belgians. The Ger
MANS finally battering their way through Liege
and Namur, streamed on into France in innum-
cradle hosts and not until they were almost
within sight of the walls of Paris did the
French defense stiffen into immortality.
How much of the criticism is justified re-
mains to be seen. 1t may have been the policy
of the French and British allies to allow Ger
many's army to string out over hundreds of
miles of alien and hostile territory, thus spread
ing itself so thin that it became more vulnera-
BILE to attack 1t may have been the belief of
the Allies that Germany's very headlong for
ward plunge would exhaust her strength, and
that to raise the German soldiery to the pin
nacle of hope and then dash them to the abyss
of despair by an unexpected check at the very
last moment would do more to shatter the
morale of the disciplined Teutons than any
series of hard battles on the threshold of
France
The censorship is so strict, the moves of the
master military minds clouded in such secrecy
and characterized by such indirection, that not
until the war is over, if at all, will the true
story of the last three weeks maneuvering be
told. In the meantime, the military observers
of America seem to think that crucial mistakes
were made by French commanders in their
g sentimental attack on Alsace and Lorraine
and their light resistance in Belgium.

SUPREME COURT
MAY DECIDE THE
ELECTION STATUS

Secretary Tn9yer is to have q
Say concerning the election OF the
legislative candidates at the recent
primary. unless the question is pre-
yioHsly decided by the supreme court.
The latter unquestionably will be the
case, as some of the Republican candi-
dates who are claiming their election
are preparing to test the law in the
courts Immediately.
Peculiarly, the high sheriff is the
official who must issue election certifl-
Gates to victorious aspirants to terri
torial Offices. Secretary Thayer thinks
this duty properly should be with the
governor or territorial secretary, de-
claring the high sheriff's authority in
the matter Is a relic of the ancient
days when the sheriff on each island
was virtually king of that common
wealth The law is an old one, and
Thayer proposes asking the next leg
is'ature to repeal or amend il, trans
ferring the authority of Issuing cleo
ton certificates to some other official.
One of the new features discovered,
although it was discussed by Attorney
General Stainback several weeks ago
and was made public in the Star-Bul-
letin, that if these Republican legisla-
tive candidates are declared elected.
the rule under which they are accept
ed would permit the election or 10 or
IL representative for the same dis.
trict. despite the fact that the law
says only six shah be chosen for each
of the fourth and fifth districts. This
is the interesting mathematical prob
lem which Stainback worked out. If
only a majority of the votes cast is
requisite to election, then 1t was pos
sible for more than three senators to
be elected at the primary on Oahu.
The fact that only four candidates for
representative received majority is
held by Thayer and Stainbaek to be
largely accident, as seven or eight or
even more might have obtained ma
jority
Unless the supreme court first set
ties the question, Secretary Thayer
will enroll on the ba lots for the No
vember election the names of the six
legislative candidates receiving the
largest number of votes of each party
at the primary, thus ignoring the
claims of the four candidates who aver
they are already elected.

nation to run on the Republican ticket
for the office of Delegate in Congress
to succeed himself whether by wor.
thy or honorable means matters not
for practical political purposes1, ii
will be the duty of Republicans Of all
islands and factions, to lend him their
cordial support. We realize that, with
the heat of the recent campaign and
more or less alienation of loyalty oc-
casioned by preceding events still
uppermost in an appeal for staunch-
ness in support Of the. prince at this
time will fall upon deaf ears in some
quarters. But the understanding OF
the campaign to support the nominee
Of the party, whomsoever he might
be, should be constantly remembered;
and the only graceful thing to do is to
accept the mandate of the majority
as expressed at the polls.
The great saving quality of Ameri-
can politics Is that the majority rules.
1t not infrequently turns out, admit.
tedly, that the majority is wrong, but
it is scientific deduction that the ma.
jority cannot stay wrong and continue,
at the same time, as the majority.
Those things adjust themselves, The
late Robert Wilcox and his following
had some interesting experiences
along this line.
The first bridge has been crossed.
Thus far only the nominees have been
selected The main struggle is yet to
come. The real contestants will be
the same as two years ago. Kalania-
naole and McCandless. In 1912 the total
votes cast for Delegate were: Ka-
lanianaole, 1923; McCandless. $40;
Motley, BAG; Byron o. Clark, 201. This
year Clark is eliminated, and the 20f
votes then cast for him may be reas-
onably counted for Carter. Kahaule-
lilo is negligible quantity. Motley
will likely poll fewer votes than two
years ago.
Has Kalanianaole gained or lost
strength in the past two years? Either
way. to what extent? Has McCand-
less gained or lost strength in the
same period and to what extent?
These are questions which can only
be answered by the results in Novem-
ber The primary affords no solu.
tons, for party lines were crossed
wholesale throughout the group.
At present the field is chaotic, and
alignments too indefinite for reason
able representations; and, for our
own part, we would prefer to pass
the buck" for the time being. If in.
dications count for anything, however,
it appears quite likely at this time
that Kuhfo will need every vote he can
command in November, and every
vote Kauai can give him will count
A merry sinner is at least more en-
Pertaining than a melancholy saint.

GAME FISHING IN
HAWAIIAN WATERS

Fishing for tourists-that is, of course, pro,
viding fishing facilities for tourists-is some
thing that Hawaii's promotion workers can
very well afford to help along.
III. Gooding Field, whose troupe Of trained
statistics can perform on any subject, has re-
Gently delyed into the possibilities of fishing as
sport in Hawaii and being an expert angler
himself, he knows what he is talking about
when he says that disciples of Izaak Walton
from all over the world would come here if
they knew what game denizens of the deep
await their piscatorial skill Moreover, he is
undeniably right when he says that mainland
communities have made almost fabulous sums
by exploiting their sporting facilities.
In his talk to the AID Club yesterday Mr..
Field brought out that the state of Maine
values its fishing and hunting at FIVE million
dollars per annumL that sportsmen spend that
much in Maine each year. The Catalina fish
ing, known the world over, attracts opponents
of the rod and reel from every country under
the sun and has resulted in the investment of
nearly 100000 in fishing launches and other
appliances, an investment on which handsome
profit is realized During the fishing season,
he declares the town of Avalon, home of the
4diuOdS luna N1uD3 10 N1sitcus ny gObeI o,VVV
persons.
These figures even discounting them little
for the we'll known characteristics of fishermen
ARE conclusive. Fishing as a sport can be
made to pay where the game fish are to be
found, and Field not only asserts they are to
be found in Hawaiian waters, but proves it by
giving their names in erudite Latin as well as
in English and Hawaiian :.
Hawaii's fishes are already known around
the globe for their beauty Of cofDr and novelty.
Of form. Judicious advertising of the game
qualities of many local varieties and CORES
ponding organization of the facilities for ang-
lers ought to insure for this territory an en-.
tirely new crop a crop of fish stories-i COM
parison with which six hundred thousand tons
Of sugar at six cents pound will look like a
minnow alongside one of Brother Fields giant
black sea-bass-better known as Stereolepis
Gigas or the ferocious bonito, which answers
affectionately to the name Of Gymnosarda
Pelamis Armed with nine-ounce rod and a
dictionary anglers in these waters can catch
anything from a<yellow-fin tuna (Thunnus
Macrapterus) to whale fAnanias Munchaus-
eniensis) and develop an entirely new sporting
and photographed industry for Hawaii.
Joking aside-7if tackling that Latin termin-
ology can be termed a joke-the sport of fish
ing in Hawaiian waters has tremendous posi-
bilities and the proposed organization of the
Tuna Club at 80 clock this afternoon on the
ioof garden of the Young Hotel should start
ahings moving in the right direction.

THE rALLAcY OF ULrRA-M1L1rAR1sM.

Thoughtful writer's both in this country and
Europe are discussing now the futility of train
ing six or eight million men in closely adjoining
countries for war against each other and then
expecting peace to continue unbroken.
1t is this fallacy of militarism that is now
held up to the world as it has never been held
| up before.
One of the most striking arraignments of
ultra militarism is made by DR.. Charles E. JEFF
ferson in the Christian Century. He writes:
Like many another fever, militarism grows
by what it feeds on, and unless checked by he
role measures is certain to burn the patient up.
Men in delirium seldom have sense OF hui
NOR. The world is fearfully grim to them, and
| life a solemn and tragic thing. They express
absurdities with sober face, and make ridicn-
lous assertions without smile. 1t may be that
the militarists are in sort of delirium. At
any rate, they publish articles entitled Armies
the Real Promoters of Peace, without laughing
aloud at the grotesqueness of what they are
doing.
1.-THE militarist is comic in his seriousness.
He says that if you want to keep the peace you
must prepare for war, and yet he knows that
where men prepare for war by carrying bowie
knives, peace is thing unheard of, and that
where every man is armed with revolver the
list of homicides is longest. He declares his
belief in kindly feelings and gentle manners,
and proceeds at once to prove that a nation
ought to make itself look as fefocions as posi-
ble In order to induce nations to be gentle
men, he would have them all initiate the habits
of rowdies To many persons this seems iudl-
crous, to militarist it is no joke. He is
champion of peace, but he wants to carry gun.
The man who PAGES up and down my front
pavement with gun on his shoulder may have
peaceful sentiments, but he does not infuse
peace into me. 1t does not help matters for him
to shout out every few minutes, i will not hurt
you if you behave yourself, for I do not know
his standard of good behavior, and the very
sight of the gun keeps me in state OF chronic
alarm. But the militarist says that, for pro-
noting harmonious sentiments and peaceful
emotions, there is nothing equal to an abund-
ance of well CONSTRUCTED guns. =

cosld not get the bank note cur

tically every bank in the country
adopted the rule not to pay out
more than a very limited amount
in bank notes to any one customer,
no matter what the customers

banks were forced to adopt this
rule because they could not them

new law. according to its Support
ers, no such currency panic will he

lish system OF Regional Reserve
Banks eight in number throughout
different sections OF the country
upon which the smaller banks may
call in times Of distress and panic.
Thus a merchant who has good
credic and tangible assets may go
to his local bank at any time and
borrow money on, his personal

local bank has not the currency to

financial transactions, as claimed

this is true, it seems to be good

we understand it, it will be no
easier for the poor man with poor
assets or bad credit to borrow in
case OF panic than before, but it will
be UNNECESSARILY easier for the man
engaged in a legitimate and prohta-
bic business to turn his business
and credit into a form that will be
accepted without question in any
section of the country in times OF
panic.
