University Again.

Jacob Billikoff. a member of the
Board of Public Welfare of Kansas
City. superintendent of the Jewish Ed
ucational Institute of that city. will ad-
dress the University Assembly next

ture. The Awakening of Municipal
ity." he will tell of the work done for
Kansas City by the two great institu-
tions he represents and by other So
cial workers. He will explain the treat
ment of dependents. delinquents and
defective persons by these institutions.

effective institution of its kind in the
West. 1t is a laboratory for social
work for the whole of the United
States.

At least four women known to Co
lumbians, Mrs. Walter McNab Miller.
Mrs Maud Radford Warren, Miss
Frances Pearl Mitchell and Miss Eva
Johnston are i'm the first "Women's
Who's Who in America" which has just
been received by the University libra
ry.
The book is about the same size as
the ordinary Who's Who" 1t con-
tains. among other things, the senti-
ment of each woman on the equal suff-
rage question. although there are only
about hundred who are included for
prominence in suffrage work alone.
Almost 10000 women are in the
book. For woman suffrage there are
4.7S7 to 773 who are against it. while
4.0S4 are listed as not having any def
mite opinions on suffrage
In all the answers received in get
ting this information, only one woman
showed the influence of her husband
in preventing a frank statement. She
wrote: Il am in favor of woman suff-
rage, but don't put that in. for my
husband fcrbids it."

Angeles-From Bermejillo, my gen.

Valasco-Then you have already
taken Bermejillo?
Angeles-Yes, my general

Angeles-Thanks.

tion between two opposing command
ers in the war in Mexico Further
more. Angeles most politely asked for
the city of Torreon. because the use
less spilling of blood was abhorent to
him. Can it be that the Mexicans are
going to evolve a new and Chesterfield
ian method of warfare?
How fine it would be to have all
wars carried on in this way, just like
an international chess game by wire.
War could then be made an interest
ing and harmless international game.
The surrender of city would be
asked for and granted in gracious
manner. avoiding all necessity for
movements of troops and combats.
But really this might be good
plan. for all peace societies would be
made happy and business interests
could continue to make money with
out fear of interruption.

CORPS TO HAVE MOCK COMBAT
Lieutenant Eby Orders His "Army7 to
Practice Fighting.

Following President wilson's action

ercise. to take place Saturday morning.
The scene of the combat will be the

used. The defense will be composed
of two companies, d and E. under the
command of Major Houston. The other
4 companies will form the attack and
be under Colonel J. A. Kiilian.

pieces of artillery under the direction
of Captain Ocker. The corps will be
formed on the parade grounds at 3
O'Clock and march to the golf links.

JAY DRIVING.

Columbia has provided for a real
need by instituting traffic rules and
traffic officers. The traffic rules have
been in existence for some time but
no casual observer would ever have
known it.
Officers will regulate the traffic at
two Broadway corners every Satur-
day afternoon. when it is heaviest.
But these two corners on Broadway
are not the only places where traffic
rules are violated. Automobile driv-
ers and drivers of other vehicles have
not been obeying the law that says
that all vehicles must stop on the
right side of the street.
Also there has been little observ-
ance of a speed limit. A few arrests
for these violations would wake the
people up to the fact that there is
such a thing as a traffic ordinance.
Broadway ie a wide street, but few
drivers ever take the trouble to stop
their vehicles anywhere near the curb.
They would rather let them stick out
i'm the street like sore thumbs and
make il harder for moving vehicles to
dodge.
Columbia is becoming small city
and it is about time to begin to elimi-
nate the jay driving.

HIS HONOR AGREES WITH
SHERMAN REGARDING WAR

His Honor, Mayor j. J. Fern, butts
in on the war topic. He has his own
views about war. the same as he has
about a good many other things, in
cluding domestic tranquility. His
Honor is somewhat opposed to wars,
being an out and out advocate of
peace; but as the present war move
ments have been started by a Demo
cratic administration, he is, in the
lawyers phrase, estopped from OBJ
jecting strenuously Anyhow, it is
pretty warm to object strenuously to
anything.
The fact that reused His Honor to
discuss the present Mexico situation
is that Will Miles, his private sec1e-
tary, is a member of the National
Guard. If war breaks out in earnest,
it will mean, the mayor says, that his
secretary will have to fight the foe.
To be without a secretary is not a
pleasant thing for him. Occasionally
there are letters to write. Once in a
while an irate voter shows himself
in the Office The band is a prolific
source of trouble. 1t is the duty of
the secretary to write the letters,
soothe the irate voters and patch up
the band troubles.
His HOnOrs life is too sweet a

Arrival in Yokohama Followed
by Visits to Many
Noted Spots
BY RILEY II. ALLEN.

YOKOHAMA, Japan, Apr. 9 ia,

eyes Of the Hawaiian eXCursiOnists Of
the Sheba party, and the first four
days in his part OF the Orient have
beeE filled TO OyerfiOwing All the
sights and sounds and smells are new
and strange and most OF them-bar
ring few Of the smells--aTe highly
satisfactory from a picturesque stand
point.
The first glimpse Of Japant was
caught on the middle OF Monday az
ternOOn. April BY nghtfall the
faint blue COastline had risen into
substantial cliffs far along the righ:
and an island or two on. the left. The
s'hinyO Maru made good time, but
even so it was 10 o'clock before she
cast anchor in Toyko bay with the
many lights OF Yokohama twinkling
on all sides but that leading to the
open sea. Quarantine was quickly
passed. In fact, no inspection beyond
a quick passing scrutiny was made of
the first-cabin passengers by the alert
Japanese officers in their trim uni
forms
Most Of the Hawaiian party elected
TO remain aboard ship that night, to
land first in Yokohama by daylight.
However. the writer, Editor Matheson
of the Advertiser, and George B. Isen-
berg were eager to taste the delights
of a jinriksha ride and went ashore
somewhat after II o'clock Even at
that hour the teeming life of Yoko-
hama was thronging the streets and
the thousands of little shops. Appar-
emily Yokohama never sleeps-at least

impression that Japan is really warm

poem for these things. His bonhomie
is too beautiful to be ruined by such
unpleasant duties. With Will Miles
away, sitting under a dobe house
waiting for the enemy to put its
head over the cactus, the mayor dis
position would undergo terrible
change, a change for the worse; his
smile would be supplanted by a
frown, his charming disposition into
a mad quick temper. Such a change
would possibly lose him his the next
election. Voters who have followed
where his smile lead would be disin-
clined to follow his froWn. In a
phrase, vulgar but graphic, he would
be dumped.
So His Honor does not want his sec
retary taken from him. He does not
wish to lose his delightful disposition.
He wants to smile happily through
the rest of his days; and he wants to
spend these days as mayor Of Homo
lulu. With Will Miles as secretary,
handling the disagreeable duties Of
office, this he recognizes as possible.
But with Miles away-the definition
of war once laid down, by general
who had experienced enough of it to

VISITS HAWAII
after ABSENCE

H. H. Carter, Boston FinanCier,
Surprised at Changes Made
During IS Years

Returning to Honolulu after an alb
sence Of l. years, H. H. Garter, a
financier of Boston, Mass, Is visit
or in this city. accompanied by Mrs.
Carter. Since his arrival here, Mr..
Carter has been looking up his many
former acquaintances and making
sightseeing tours about the island.
When seen at the Moana hotel last
night he commented at length regard
ing the many interesting changes
which have taken place in Honolulu
since he last visited here, and declar-
ed that he would rather spend his
winters-or summers-in Hawaii than
in Southern California or Florida.
Mr.. Carter explained that when he
came here Is years ago, he stopped at
the Hawaiian hotel, which, he said
was then the only large hostelry in
the city. Neither the Young nor the
MOana hotels was built at that time.
1t is surprising, he said, to note the
great growth which the business and
residential sections of the city have
made since he last visited here.
In response to a query as to what
impressed him most in Honolulu, Mr..
Carter said:
Il am greatly impressed with the
ability of the Hawaiian and other
boys to stand erect on their surf
boards. l hadn't thought such. a per
formance possible until l saw it &C
complished a few days ago
Mr. Carter is intensely interested

fore he leaves Honolulu, intends to

CROP ON HAWAII
Local Concern Now Appears to
Be In Control of Situation

With the closing on Saturday Of

contract the exclusive quarry rights
from the Lyman estate on some 40
600 acres Of land in Puma, which, in
so far as is known, contains the only
suitable quality of rock for use on
the Hilo breakwater.
1t is generally believed that by this
