SAMPAN OWNERS MAY

Rumors that the japanese sampan
fishermen are planning to move tAeiI
fishing boat headquarters to Kewalo
between the harbor and Waikiki, are
in circulation along the waterfront to-
day, but nothing definite as to their
plans could be ascertained
The announcement made Saturday
by Charles r. Forbes, chairman of the
board Of harbor commissioners, that
the fishing boats will be ordered tc
clear out" this week, has resulted in
considerable excitement among the
fishing boat owners and men con
cerned.
The harbor commissioners are con,
sidering the best place to have the
boats dock, and Kewalo harbor is cen,
sidered most satisfactory. The com
mission does not intend to rut the
sampan men out OF business, but needs
the room they have been oCcTpyine
for larger shipping purchases and new
concrete piers which are to be erect
ed at Docks 8, 9 and 10.

Roumania has been very close to
Vienna and Berlin. and. what is per-
haps more important still, she is known
to have a military convention with
Austria.
Some of these profess to believe that
the obvious national interests of Rou-
mania will rise superior to any con-
sideratien of documents signed by the
late pro-German ruler of Roumania
but even many of these do not go be-
yond declaring that Roumania will
confine any action she might take to a
military occupation of Pennsylvania
and that such action might be aimed
at Russia as well as at Austria
AS for Italy, l find no great conf
dence among the official class here
that she will come in. despite the tone
Of the newspapers. 1t Is realized that
however much she might like to re-
gain Trentino and Trieste, the triple

her to come in with Germany and Aus

official circles here.
l was talking with member of par
Lament who has been in close semi
official touch with the various Balkan
states and although he was sure that
Greece would intervene at convenient
moment, he was not at all sure about
Roumania and was dead certain that
Bulgaria was hard nut to crack. 1t
is perfectly well known that Bulgaria
is very bitter over the second Balkan
war and that that bitterness against
Roumania. Greece and Serbia is bound
to affect her foreign policy. The dan
ger is that If Roumania and Greece
enter the larger war. Bulgaria, which
is believed to have made a military
convention with Turkey, will seize the
opportunity of recovering the territory
she believes she was robbed of by her
erstwhile allies.
1t is. according to many observers
who allow their wishes to play father
to their thoughts. only the danger that
Bulgaria will follow such a course that

gle. But better informed and less

clared to me emphatically: THE result
Of this war depends upon the United
States"
If we admit the soundness of these
several Views. do they give any hint
of the duration of the war? l claim
they do. Factor No. will be put to
the fullest test next spring and early
summer. Suppose that it fails and
that the Germans are not driven out of
France and Belgium. Factor No. 2
will be put to the test in May, June,
July and August. Suppose that 1t also
fails and the Germans are not starved
out. but are once more in possession
of an ample crop to carry them for a
year From now until the end of next
August factor No. 3 will have had a
thorough test.

ly nine months, to get from outside
sources enough supplies to prosecute
successful war. either on the Often
sive or the defensive. it is pretty good

According to those I have spoken

question of being able to finance her
foreign purchases. OF course, Germany
is sending some goods abroad to such
neutral countries as are still open to
her-to Holland. Italy. Roumania, Bull

SwitZerland-and these exports serve
to offset her foreign purchases, but it

81 HAVE Just had most interesting
talks with several of the men who
really matter IN England. If
q were free to name them every
american reader would Immediately
recognize them as men who, in the past
ana the present, have had an enormous
inhuence on affairs in this country We
nave talked of the war, and their Views
so closely resemble the considered
opinions of that limited section of Eng
land which really knows what is hap
pening and apt to happen on the con-
tinent that they are worth repeating
to you.
In the first place. II is the opinion of
these men that II is and probably will
De impossible to drive the German
army out of the trenches where 1t is
SO firmly established. There is much
talk OF the new Kitchener army and
the effect 1t will have upon the war,
but all the information obtainable from
Germany through neutral and even
pro-Brftish sources agree, that Ger
many is raising an equal, II not
greater. number of fresh troops for
the spring campaign.

II Is believed here that the new Brit
ish army will be composed of younger
and. therefore. better troops than the
new German army. but, even granting
that II is. the past few months have
proved the enormous advantages pos

fensive- As one military authority re-
Gently put II. in the trenches a man of

spring will see the military forces of
the allies at their best. at least in
numbers. and should they fail to break
the deadlock in France and Belgium
that will dispose of the military factor
in the war
Factor No. Is the question of starya-

Germany out? The best opinion here
answers this question in the negative
some seem to believe that GERMANY

ability OF the country to feed itself

The third and last factor, and also.
from all accounts. considered here the
most important of the three, is the
economic pressure as applied to
munitions Of war. Can the allies pre-
vent a sufhcient supply of copper, oil,
rubber and SO forth. to enable her to
continue the war, getting into Ger
many. and has Germany suf-
ficient supply of these necessities to
permit her to continue for many
months without outside supplies? To
answer the first question without an
swerins the second Is not sufficient for
the purpose. German preparation and
her admirable habit of minute fore
thought would seem to compel one to
the conclusion that she would never
nave gone to war unless she had as
sured herself OF an adequate stock Of
these necessities. On the other hand,

three factors will have been tested. II
Germany fails In any one she is beaten
If she holds out against all three 1t Is
dffficult to see how 1t would be to the
advantage Of any Of the belligerent
countries to protract a war in the abb

1t is for these reasons that I believe
the war will be concluded by or be-
fore the 1st Of September.

Grim details, indeed, of the fighting
in northern France were given by an
English officer home from the front or
a few days leave. to whom I was in
troduced by well known Anglo

Their one desire now Is to have the
war ended. They care little whether
they are conQuerors or defeated. they
just want the war over, and all that
view of the allies is that the Germans
along the great line are practically in
the same condition. Day after day par
ties of them hold up their hands in
token of surrender and then come
across and ask to be made prisoners.
With the object of putting a stop to
this the Germans are trying new
game. Several times of late Taubes

printed handbills. stating that the Ger

prisoners: that all who fall into their
hands will be shot.
We interpret this as an attempt to
goad the French into making similar
resolution, with the result that Ger
mans who otherwise would surrender
will pause through fear of being put
to death. This is the state of things
that the combination of such war hor-
rors as the world has never seen be-
