The military correspondent of the London

A compromise between the opposing

is to be effected at all. The probate
of Mrs. Thelma K. Parker Smart's last

two weeks from tomorrow, and it is
said that unless the fighting factions

1t is understood the guardianship of

MR. TArT's STURDY PATRIOTISM.

Citation he declared.
Praise was voiced forsfher present administration
for fits refusal NEEDLE in the allegations OF vio
latIons International law made by the belligerent
nations against each other.
Ex-President Taft is recognized authority
on international law and he is a mighty good
american citizen. ssz9zal,
There ought to be no questioning the duty
of American citizens to stand by President
Wilson in his efforts to keep this nation out
Of war Unfortunately. some of his loudest
critics seem unable to seegthe differences be-
tween finding fault With l1s domestic policies
in time of peace and finding fault with his
foreign policy in time of war. But there is a
difference In time of war patriotism demands
a united front. 1t demands staneh support 1t
demands in particular that the citizens Of this
republic endeavor to carry out in their own
lives and their own actions the principle OF
neutrality uttered formally by the leaders of
government.
The United States cannot be neutral if it's
people take violently partisan standpoints. It
cannot be neutral if its people allow prejudice
to betray them into rash accusations or momen-
fary passions. 1t cannot be neutral.if it's peo-
pie are personally belligerent.
That large elements in the American popu-
lation find it difficult to take the non-partisan
stand cannot be denied. This condition is nat
nfa1, for the ties of race and of family lead
from America to all of the warning nations.
The blood of European belligerents is fused in
American veins. Their histories and tradi-
tions, their prides of ancestry, are cherished
IN American bosoms. All the greater is the
need for self-control, all the greater will be
Americas achievement in remaining neutral.
What Mr.. Taft says comes with the more
powerful emphasis because he is politically a
member Of the opposition. He was defeated by
Mr. Wilson in contest for the highest Office
IN the land. But his Americanism rises above
party affiliations and above the disappoint-
ment of political defeat and he takes his place
with the Americans who keep their sympathies,
whatever they are, in their own bosoms and
express the higher patriotism of devotion to
the republic that has welcomed all peoples and
made of them one people.

LEAVING HONOLULU.

By Nav S. Forester, of Los Angeles.
The crowd is gathering near the shore,
And Captain Berger and his band
OF royal brown Hawaiian men,
Have come to play for Us once more;
And sing their grand Aloha song
TO our adeu, sweet reply,
While people DER the gangwav thrOng
TO bid goodbye
The flower girls with bare brown feet
And arms full of lima Ieis,
Of roses vi0ets, MALE sprays,
Are waiting for the street;
For leis contain a magic art
That eases pain of tear and sigh
And blesSeS-while with aching heart
We say goodbye.
Dear hands in soft caress feel
As round my neck they place their leis
That speak to me of happy days
= And bind me as with bands of steel.
For who so feels Hawa's lures
Of waving palms and balmy sky
Shall never wish while life endureS
TO say goodbye.
Into the bowels of the ship,
Half naked men are stocking coal, III
While others in the spacious hold 49,. p
Bring stores and comforts for the trip;
And on the dock where brown men toll
Pineapples and bananas lie
And all is haste, and sweat, and MOL,
To say goodbye.
The band of fond Aloha's tell
OF home, sweet home, and auld lang syne,
And tender eyes look into mine,
And hand clasps hand in last farewell.
The gangWay's down-the ship is clear,
= The whistle shrieks it's last shrill cry!
Gay ribbon streamers to the air
Whisper goodbye.
The havsers lift with weird complaint,
She mofes!!!
The good ship now is on her way;
Nor foKery. strands nor ribbons gay,
No longer hold in sweet restraint;
With JOY she thrills at her release;
Thru foaming waves propellers ply
And kerchiefs hutter to the breeze
" last goodbye.
r~ "
From life boats high the wharf-rats toss,
And swim around the moving ship,
For coins they Beg, and dive, and dip;
While with strangling sense of loss
Thru streaming eyes look on-and smile.
O, people! Palms and soft warm sky
o, dearest land! Beloved Isle
Good bye! Good-bye!
