4 REM1NDER FOR THE VETERAN FANS

Yesterday S baseball crowd at Moiliili Field
reminded veteran fans of the "old days" when
baseball was followed by almost everybody in
town with keen personal interest. OF course
the town is larger now and many of the new
coners know little of the rapidly changing per-
sonnet of the teams, and hence look more for
the fine points of the game itself than for the
showing of individual players or for the battle
of rival organizations. But the main difference
between the sport now and eight or ten years
ago is that the leagues today contain much
more of the professional favor than formerly
There is almost as much maneuvering between
The fnanciers of the leagues as between the
leans. Something of the keen rivalry of the
leans themselves has gone as the money end of
the game became more prominent. The Chicago
series is giving the fans of yesteryear the sport
for sports sake. In every case the teams have
fought for the games as if championship de-
pended on the result-in fact, this very over
eagerness in some instances has married the
machine-like playing which is typical of the
professional spirit.
Semi professional baseball is being overdone
il Honolulu After the Chicago and Meiji
series end the parks should close their gates
for few months. 1t will help the sport all
around. Meanwhile, the Chicago games are
providing plenty of thrills for grandstand and
bleachers and well deserve big audiences.

HAD new TEACHERS SCARED WITH
Wild TALES ABOUT ALLIGATORS

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 a school
house She reported this fact to Mr..
Kinney. and her fears were set at rest
The same kind Of a tale was tcld
another new teacher, but was elsbor-
ated to the efFt ct that there were 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
urally believe them. One was told
that at the place where she was going
it rained at the rate Of "200 miles a
minute"
From what | 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 a little work. 1t
is hard enough to get good teachers.

ishness, but such foolishness is liable

GREECE STILL ALooF.

Greece's 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 trne, the Greeks are bargaining much as
Italy bargained and Bulgaria is bargaining.
When they secure the concessions they desire,
they are to join the Allies. Unless these con-
cessions are forthcoming they will remain
neutral.
Greece's negotiations are carried on under
the conveniently Understanding name of "real-
ization of national aspirations" When the war
party gained the ascendancy in Athens, Vent
zelos issued guarded statement in which he
declared that he had no preconceived bias
against the central empires Germany and
Austria and would so deal as to secure the
greatest possible benefits to the Greek people.
It is said on good authority that since Italy
ioined the Allies and the Teutons won their sig
nal victories in Galicia and Poland, the Greek
premier raised materially the price at which
she will consent to enter the war. The occu-
patton by Italy of the Aegean Islands claimed
by Greece and other complications have arisen
from Italy's participation in the campaigns,
and at the same time Greece feels that her aid
IS worth more to the Allies now that the Teu-
tons have progressed SO substantially in the
eastern arena.
The diplomats of France, Britain, Russia and
italy nevertheless feel that the accession of
Nenizelos is move in their favor, since it is
only question Of putting forth offers strong
enougll1to win his active assistance, while with
6ounaris and the peace party dominating, there
was little hope for anything but rather forced
neutrality from tile Greeks.
There is no question that the Allies are work
ing day and night to secure mutual under
Standing between the Balkan states and a fur
Their understanding with the Entente Powers
The diplomatic difficulties seem almost insur-
mountable but the Allies are willing to make
offers that can hardly be refused.

Talk of an extra session of Congress should
be discouraged, because it is absolutely un-
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
when Congress, which is only legislative and
not an administrative body, is not in session.

Irwin site. Nevertheless, there exists more
than little sentiment in favor of the Spreckels
site, the arguments for which have been pri-
marily unitarian. AS a matter of fact, there
are strong arguments on each side, the differ
ence 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 Honolulans 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 a common
thing to hear men remark, PERSONALLY pre-
fer such d-such site, but rather than hold
up action any longer I'm willing to see the
building go up elsewhere"

civic BEAUTY AND THE FEDERAL SITE

If Honolulu's federal building site is to be
chosen with 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
aware of no plans involving the other sites
which have been drafted from 'city beauti-
ful' standpoint. Choice of the Irwin site will
foster the creation of civic center and pro-
mote an harmonious public architecture of real
value to the city.
So far as local sentiment has expressed itself
publicly, It has been very much in favor Of the
