GREECE STILL ALooF.

Greece IS failure to join the Allies in war has
seemed inexplicable to some observers, since
The .'war premier " Nenizelos, is back in power,
Yet if the reports from London and Athens
are true, the Greeks are bargaining much as
Italy bargained and Bulgaria is bargaining.
When they secure the concessions they desire,
they are ia join the Allies. Unless these con-
tessions are forthcoming they will remain

story.
At the present time Honolulu Is en-
PERTAINING about 80 newly arrived
school teachers. They arrived in Ho-
nolulu-that is, many OF then I,u

by tales OF Hawaii told them by fellow
passengers, the latter being local resi-
dents, it is reported.
One estimable lady rushed into Mr.
Kinney office shortly alter .
rived here and wanted to know If il
would be safe for her to go bathing.
A fellow passenger on the steamer
which brought her to Honolulu told
her that the sea abounded in huge
alligators, and man-eaters at that,
she said.
Il assured the lady that a.ligatars
are unknown in Hawaii" SAID Mr..
Kinney today, but that there we're a
few man-eating sharks about the ISL
ands, but that they never bothered the
bathers, because they could not get
over the coral reefs"
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-09-07

Another teacher, who had been as,
signed to teach in one OF the largest
communities outside of Honolulu, was
told on the steamer that the place
where she was going was a dry plain,
with only a few trees and school
house. She reported this fact to Mr..
Kinney. and her fears were set at rest.
The same kind of a tale was told
another new teacher, Eut was elabor-
ated to the eff CT that there we're no
white people within many miles,
And these are not all OF the tales,
declares Mr.. Kinney. Many others
have been told the teachers, who nat.
uraIly believe them. One was told
that at tie place where she was going
it rsined at the rate Of 200 miles a
minute"
"From what l have been able to
learn" says Mr., Kinney, the persons
who told these tales have been resi-
dents Of the islands for many years.
Here is an opportunity for the promo
ton committee to do little work. 1t
is hard enough to get good teachers
without having them scared to death
be fore they get here.
Il am sure it is not a question Of
malice on the part of the story-tellers,
however" he added. 1T is Just fool
ishness. but such foolishness is liable
to do great harm at times" -

Irwin site. Nevertheless, there exists more
than little sentiment in favor of the Spreckels
site, the arguments for which have been pri-
marily utilitarian. As matter of fact, there
arc strong arguments on each side, the differ
cnce being that on behalf of the Irwin site there
is the argument of well-defned idea of civic
beauty favored by men and women and organi-
cations in Honolulu quite apart from the "busi-
ness community"
Mr. Newton has quickly discerned the keen
desire of Honolulu to get this site question
settled. In fact, many Honolplans are so anx-
ious to have the matter settled that they prefer
to take no public part in any discussion, fear
ing that there will arise a revival of former
controversy. 1t has become rather common
thing to hear men remark, PERSONALLY pre-
fer such-and-s such SITE but rather than hold
up action any longer Pm willing to see the
building go up elsewhere.

Talk of an extra session of Congress should
be discouraged, because it is absolutely I'M
necessary. The executive department of the
government under President Wilson'S leader
ship is abundantly able to meet almost any sit
uation likely to develop between now and De-

war; and peace is more likely to be preserved

not an administrative body, is not in session.

orvIc BEAUTY AND THE FEDERAL SITE

If Ho1elulu's federal building site is to be
chosen with a view to enhancing city beauty
and to be- '$for the Honolulu of tomorrow" as
assistant Secretary Newton comments. the
irwin site should be first choice. We are
ware of no plans involving the other sites
which haze been drafted from lefty beauti-
fnlu standpoint. Choice of the Irwin site will
fOster the creation of civic center and pro-
note an harmonious public architecture of real
value to the city.
So far as local sentiment has expressed itself
publicly, 1t has been very much in favor of the
