EDITOR
FORCING THE CENSORSHIP TO RELAX

The war-rhief> of Europe are being forced
to relax tn" military rigidity of the censorship
to stimulate enthusiasm and patriotism at
home. .N> the British editors predicted early
in the campaign, the bare and brutal facts of
the official communicates have failed to stir the
people to the desired PITCH SO the ren>ors are
permitting more and more details of the fight
ing to be sent home from the fronts.
The press censorship in both France and
England is still far too ri gOrOuN for the good
of the countries cause, in the opinion of NJ.
Henry Franklin Bouilon. chairman Of the com
mittee of foreign affairs of the French chamber
of deputies, who has been in London for series
of war conferences with Lord Kitchener, Chan
ceIlOr Llovd-Gcorgc. Sir Edward Grey and
other statesmen.
Part of the work of the committee which
sent me on my present mssiOn,' he said, els
to urge that not only in our own countries but
in neutral countries as we'll, a true perspective
of the course Of events should be held out. In
England and France alike, the main obstacle
is the excessive rigOr of the censorship, and
this subject | discussed with some of the lead
ing men of England. | was glad to learn that
some concessions to the press are now being
considered.
"What we all feel on the foreign committee
is that our own communiqueS are too bald and
a recital to inspire our people
with that enthusiasm so necessary to maintain
them steadily until victory is won.'

THE CASE OF LIEBKNECHT.

Somewhat obscure Geographic dispatches a
few days ago brought the news that the famous
Karl Liebknecht, German Socialist leader and
head of the anti-war party, had been sent to
the front in Alsace. When this news got out
over Europe, tremendous discussion ensued.
Associated Press correspondence from Am
sterdam indicates that Liebknecht was sent to
the front to- keep him from developing the
Socialistic wing too strongly during wartime.
Liebknecht is member of the Reichstag,
and is therefore exempt from military service
while the imperial legislature is actually sit
ting, but his exemption ceases when the house
adiourns, and the military authorities have de-
Ecided that henceforth he must serve at the
front for the whole period of each legislative
adjournment. The purpose of this, Liebk-
nechts friends assert, is to keep him away from
contact with other Socialists and under mill
tary discipline.
Herr Liebknecht is 43 years old. He served
as a young man in a regiment of engineers do
ing his full three years, and then passing sue
cessvely into the reserves and the landsturm.
The other men of his particular class have not
been called to the colOrs, says the Associated
Press.
The government lost no time III SentunS
Liebknecht away once this move had )een de-
cided upon. He was drafted without delay lor
active service in Lorraine, somewhere east Of
Verdun.
The man who had been the leader Of tie little
anti-war group in the Reichstag is now sim
pile private, under strictest military discipline,
and occupied day and night with The tasks al
lotted him by his officers.

PINEAPPLE DAY
At Exposition
MAY BE NOV. "A

Sunday, November II, will be lIa.
waiian Pineapple Day at the San Fran
cisco exposition, if the exposition di-
rectors accede to the request made of
them by H. P. Wood, secretary of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee.
A letter received yesterday from Mr..
Wood by A. P. Taylor, assistant sec.
rotary of the committee, says that
the islands will receive a great deal
of valuable publicity from the expo
sition press bureau if the day is al.
lOtted Fresh California fruits will
lie scarce by November, and the Ha-
waiian pineapples will then attract
more attention than they would earlier
in the season.
Mr. Wood suggests that Mr.. Taylor

we'll as some photographs illustrative
of the pineapple industry in the isl,

ROBERT w. SHlNGLE: | think
that the best say for us to secure our
long-desired federal building is not to
further embarEass the secretary Of
the treasury with representations con-
corning the site. Present estimates
indicate a deficit for the national gov
eminent of $177,OOO,OCO by the end of
1916. due to the final cessation of the
sugar duty, and the expiration of the
war tax. Honolulu's large appropria-
ton, more than S1,30O.000, will be
taken care Of, we hope, but if the
matter is made veXatious this might
be a good place to curtail expendi

CLOSING ITS USEFUL WORK.

J. The legislature OF 1913 will end it, course
tonight after rather uncvcntfuI session and
yet one filled with useful work.
If there has been no big outstanding piece
of legislation perfected which grippcd the
imagination and held the attention of the terri
tory, neither has there been any freak measure
to furnish amusement for the horde.
If there has been no epoch making law put
upon the statute books, neither has there been
any Staying of good bills for vicious or 'art-
sanly political reasons.
The legislature has gone steadily ahead
since its Openin&-Studyng estimating, listen
ing, debating, and has turned out good vol
ume of useful measures. House and senate
have been panstaking and energetic \ few
worthy bills have failed, iH the majority of
cases because they were presented TOO late in
the session for thorough consideration; in
other cases, they involved expenditure of pub
lie funds to an extent deemed unwiSe in time
of financial uncertainty; in still other cases,
public sentiment was shown to be emphatically
divided and the legislators plainly did not wish
to take the initiative without marked direction
from the people.
A. noteworthy feature of this session has
been the harmony between the executive and
judicial branches. 1t has existed before, but
not for several sessions at least has there been
such an attempt made to emphasize it. This is
particularly due to mutual attitudes and partly
to the "get together" spirit that for three
years past has been sweeping over the terri
tory. Hawaii, dependent because of its terri
torial status upon the goodwill and constant
attention of absentee government to a very
large extent-to government at Washington
has reaped the consequence of internal splits,
Of home dissension upon matters to be settled
at the national capital This has served to d.
rect attention to the desirability of harmony
at home and the spirit Of harmony is steadily
permeating the entire atmosphere. The legis-
lature has felt its kindly influence. The old,
petty, local "scraps" have not seemed worth
while. There has been no disposition upon the
part of miscellaneous legislators to bait the gov
ernor or department heads. House and SEN
ate leaders have preferred to make their record
not in political maneuvering but in efficiency.
In the senate healthy Democratic minority
has voted regularly upon non partisan basis.
For the few hours remaining there is no rea-
son why this good record shall not be main
tained and augmented.

THE SECOND INFANTRY BAND.

comparatively few people in Honolulu know
the excellence of the Second Infantry band of
Fort Shafter. Under the able leadership Of Mr.
Albert Jacobsen-whose. work as a director of
tue massed bands during the recent Mid Pacific
Carnival was Justly praised-the military Or
ganization is steadily improving and its con-
certs are more and more enjoyable. The band
and orchestra give this suburban post must
cal attraction of an unusual order
The commanding officer of the post, Col.
French, and the adjutant, Capt. Lincoln, give
much attention and encouragement to the band
and its work. Programs are arranged several
times weekly, and now there are announced
special programs for May and May 5.
Many people in Honolulu not blessed with
autos would like to hear the Second Infantry
band. Would it not be possible to establish an
occasional Exchange night" when the Ha-
waiian band would perform at Shafter and the
Second Infantry organization come to Homo

BROTHERS
REUNITED

Fifty years ago at the end OF the
war, the five Kimberlin boys parted,
all going west to seek new fortunes
in new fields. Since that time they
have never all been together at one
time. Our of them met in Texas sew
eral years ago. The party lacked one
of being as complete as it was when
the boys parted at the close Of the war.
Since that time the Grim Reaper has
called one OF them
1t remained for the reunion of Mar.
maduke's division being held in Chick
asha this week to bring the four re-
naming brothers together one more
time The last of the four arrived
yesterday from Pauls Valley and they
are spending today recounting ex-
periences as they remember them
when they fought side by side for the
Confederatec ause, and telling of
events that have happened since that
time.
The oldest of the Kimberlins is w.
G. of Pauls Valley. He is one of the
pioneer merchants of Oklahoma. Sec
ond is Gen R. S. Kimberlin, wealthy
planter and business man of Claren-
don. Tex. who organized the Marina
duke division and who entertained the
soldiers at his own expense for two
years. The other two brothers are R.
X. Kimberlin, prominent at Mayes-
Vile, and j. N. Kimberlin. postmaster
at Altus4
Yes. we have often seen each
other" the youngest of the four the
postmaster from Altus, said this morn
ing. But this is the first time since
we parted at the close of the war that
we four brothers have been together at
one time"
The men will part early in the Morn
ing to go to their homes, but they ex-
pect to meet again next year when
Marmaduke's division again gathers
for its reunion.

But one man is registered with the
visiting veterans who is from Louisi-

mess man of the south Mr.. Milligan
was one of the youngest veterans at
the reunion, being only Sc years old.
He joined Quantrell's band when he
was IL years old and served through
the war.
Yes, it was rather strange" he said
this morning, for one in Louisiana to
join Quantrell's men up in Missouri" /"
Veteran Milligan says his father had
been soldier under the United States
flag and objected very seriously to his
sons taking up arms to dissolve the
union the father had fought for. How
ever, the son was delegated at the be-
ginning of the war to take some pro-
visions to the Confederate forces in
the north, and it was at Springfield
Mo, that he first met Quantrell. His
relatives were all secessionists and he
believed in the Confederate cause him
