THE EUROPEAN SITUATION

| Editor Honolulu Bulletin.
Dear Sir: While Y Y q. does not
claim TO possess any special talent
or ability to NEEDLE in the European
war, or to give advice about media
ton (Which, you | am afraid, advise
rather causticallyl, he still has an
idea which. though it may not put a
stop to the present war. may to a
large extent prevent wars inithe flu
ture. And that is to change the mon
arches of Germany. Austria-Hungary
and Russia into republics.
1t is admitted everywhere that if
the emperors and the ruling classes
of these countries were relegated to
private life, o. to some far distant
country where they could do no
harm, and presidents chosen by the
people were put in their places, it
would do more than anything else to
put stop to war. But so long as the
bloodthirsty. cruel, selfish, proud and
ambitious rulers of the present day
are on the throne, no permanent
peace can be looked, or even hoped,
for.
This may or may not be a fact;
but there is one man here, If not
more, who will devote his life, his
talents and his fortune to bringing
this about, and every right-minded
man will hone that he may succeed;
and it's more than likely that he will.
For no man can contemplate the
present crisis with any other feeling
than that of horror, and when it is
known that this great calamity is
brought about by few persons who
care little or nothing about the loss
of life or destruction of property, it
must be admitted that it is about time
to make change, and to have this
power put into the hands of men
who have some love for their fellow
men and some idea of the golden
rule, for to leave this power in the
hands of those, many of whom are
not considered responsible for their
actions, and who by birth and educa-
ton and tradition, to say nothing of
divine right, is to invite bloodshed,

War NEWS FIRST TN The sTAR.BULLETN

European war news is appearing in the col
umns of the Star. Bulletin first and will con-
tinue to do SO.
The time-of publication of this paper and the
hours covered by its news service gives it a
natural advantage over a morning paper, the
difference in time between Hawaii aud Europe
making it possible for the Star Bulletin to Sc
cure the big developments as they occur in the
theater of military and diplomatic action.
The difference in time between Honolulu and
European capitals is approximately II hours,
a little more in some cases, a little less in
others. For instance, the Star Bulletins work
ing day begins about 30 O'Clock in the morn
ing. At { 30 o'clock Tuesday morning it is
6 D. m. that evening in London, 6 80 p. m. in
Berlin, s :05 p. IN. in St Petersburg.
From 80 o'clock in the morning on through
the day there come over the wires all the varied
happenings of the day in Europe. The time
difference allows this paper to cover fully and
authoritatively, the days European events,
gathered by the Associated Press and sent to
Hawaii by speedy wireless.
On the other hand, morning paper, getting
N teegraphic service which ends about IL
o'clock at night, cannot cover the daylight
hours in Europe. It's telegraphic service ham
dies events happening approximately between
midnight and IL o'clock in the morning, Euro
pean time
Readers of the Star-Bulletin for the past
few days have recognized that they were get
ting the big news first in this paper. Its Euro
pean news is made while embassies are open,
armies are moving, messages of war or peace
are being exchanged and statesmen are adj
dressing their parliaments.
In order to keep its readers fully informed
OF the various events as they occur all over the
world, the Star Bulletin is being furnished by
the Associated Press with an increased service
which in7v0lume and detail assures the patrons
Of this paper that they will be given the war
news up to the minute

GEORGE WASHINGTON WALDRON

Honolulu, Aug 3, 1914,
! Editor Star-Bu.letin.
Sir r.,
Fred l.. WaIdron may not resemble
George Washington in many respects.
On the subject of ability TO invent eX-
plantations where the naked truth
might prove embarrassing. | am in
clined to believe that Fred. if he tried,
could do what Parson Weems says the
Father of his country couldn't.
In one resject, However, Fred and
George agree. -, the time that Wash
ington was CHOSEN as president. it was
a well k. rwn fact that he was opposed
en- principle to a public official re-
ceiving compensation. During the Re-
volutionary war he consistently refus-
ed remuneration.
His views on tn. zubject are set
forth in the following paragraph from
his first inaugural address:
To the foregoing observations |
have one to add which will be most
properly addressed to the, House of
Representatives. It concerns myself.
and will, therefore, be as brief as pos
sible. When l was first honored by a
cab into the service of my country,
then on the eve OF an arduous strug-
gle for its hDer..es, the light in which
| contemplated my duty required that
| should renounce every pecuniary
compensation. From this resolution
| have in no Instance departed; and
being still under the Impressions which
produced it, must decline as inappli-
cable to myself any share in the per-
sonal emoluments which may be in
dispensably included in a permanent
provision for the executive depart,
ment, and must accordingly pray that
the pecuniary estimates for the sta
tion in which am placed may during
my continuance in it be limited to such
actual expenditures as the. public good
may be thought to require"
Therefore, We patriots who call Wal
drons idea absurd, apologize to the
Shade of the late lamented George
Washington. .-.
ECONOMIST.

AN AUTO ASSOCIATION

The formation of an automobile association,
as promised by Harry f. Murray, is a good
thing if carried out on such scale that the as
sociation will be representative enough to he in
fluential 1t should not be an association of
agencies, of garages, of supplyh0useS, OF
chauffeurs or of amateur drivers; it should in
clude all these in its membership.
A few months ago, when several needless
and fatal auto accidents had stirred up the
community and the newspapers were urging
that an end be put to the depredatiOns of the
autOfends, wellknOwn businessman declared
there ought to he an association of autO-Owners
to protect the drivers against criticism and at
tack, or something of the sort. Now there has
been another epidemic of accidents and again
the community is awakened to the necessity
of doing something. In the meantime we have
seen NO move for an auto association.
Such an association could be of value not
only in helping to secure law enforcement, hut
to secure good roads and general legislation in
which owners and drivers of cars are interest
ed And at such times as Carnival Week the
association would be of much use in helping to
promote various features of the celebration.
The idea is too good to be spoiled by merely
talking about it.

The PLIGHT Of THE SMALL EUROPEAN STATES

The plight of such comparatively small
European states as Belgium and the duchy OF
Luxemburg is strongly shown by their inabil-
ity now to prevent warning forces from over
running their supposedly neutral territory
Proposals have been made from time to time
that an economic and political alliance be
formed among these small states, including
Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Luxembourg and
even Sweden and Norway, but the alliance has
never been perfected and the rapidly-swelling
war-tide in Europe finds these little countries
at a tremendous disadvantage in attempting
to maintain neutrality
King Albert Of Belgium recently visited
Switzerland and was authoritatively reported to
have then preached his idea of the small-state
alliance. The plan found favor in Berne
Albert was so enthusiastic over the matter that
he went actively to work in furtherance of the
idea and hoped that eventually Holland, Den
mark. Switzerland, Luxembourg, Sweden and
Norway might be brought together with Bel
gium in the alliance.
1t is understood that King Albert sees no
praeticability in the suggestion of defensive
alliance along military lines, as the countries
concerned are widely separated geographically
and weak in military forces even when taken
collectively. But he believes that some under
standing for common commercial and economic
aims would be of advantage to offset the com
mercial aggression some of the great Powers
are accused of practicing.
King Albert also recently approach the gov
eminent of Luxembourg with his proposal, but
he has been informed that as the principality
is a member of the German Customs Union, it
is not free to enter into any economic arrange
ment with other countries.
1t is not impossible that these small states
will now hastily form an alliance of some kind
in the present crisis. The telegraphic dis
patches yesterday and today indicate that
Belgium will oppose German troops enter
ing her territory under any kind of an agree
ment, and in this attitude England will proba-
bly support the Belgian government, for Eng

The explanation of a big decline in the Chi
cago provisions markets is probably to be
found in the Atlantic shipping situation. With
tremendous grain crops and a remarkable mar
ket being created in warning Europe, the far
ners and provision dealers of the United
States see a possibility of losing their expected
profits because shipping on the Atlantic is so
lisorganized that transportation to the Euro
oean markets cannot be assured. The big
ines, particularly the foreign companies, will
not send out freight or passenger vessels unless
assured they will not be seized by some enemy
IN the high seas.
