TRYING TO
r US INTO A

ONE mans guess is as good as an
others In this European war game.
II there was an exact rule whereby
we could measure the motives of men
we would no longer be in need of dip
lomats. A diplomat is a man who
can say something that means moth
ing, or vice versa.
II there ever was a being who has
maintained a neutral attitude OF mind
while the European carnage is going
on that man is President Wilson. This
Is why he pleases neither side. The
fact that he is criticised by both is
proof Of our neutrality.
Germany complains that the United
States Is not neutral. In other words
to be neutral we must help Germany.
The situation has become ominous
but 1t does not necessarily mean war.
The Independents guess would be
that the Teutonic allies are trying to
force the United States to take q hand
in ending the conflict. The action OF
Dumba and Bernstorff can seem to
have no other meaning.
There Is a reason for this. Nothing
Is more certain han that the war must
end in time. It begins to look like a
campaign Of exhaustion. This was
the determining factor in our own
Civil war. The greater esources Of
the north conquered the weaker south.
And so will 1t be in Europe. The
allies are In position to draw on the
rest Of the world for munitions and
supplies. In time they must yea
down Germany and Austria.
1t is absurd to say that Germany
does not forsee what the end must
be. Therefore the Germans must
seek a plausible excuse to end the
war.
Germany can not surrender to Eng
land, nor to France, o to Russia.
II would be humIliating and her PEG.
pie would mot the kaiser for such a
peace.
But Germany could yield with good
grace to the United States. The odds
would be so much against her that
she could give up the struggle on the
best terms possible.
Therefore 1t looks very much as II
the Teutons were determined to force
the United States to take a hand in
the conflict In order to give them an
excuse to sue for peace.
History Is not without an example
in this line. The United States was
just % much opposed to war when
Mckinley was In the white house as II
10 now under the guiding hand OF
President Wilson.
But Spain deliberately sank the
Maine to force the United States to
declare war. This saved the pride OF
Spain In not having to surrender to
her belligerent subjects in Cuba,
The situation 10 tho same today.
Germany must save her face with her
own people. She can do 80 only by
having the United States declare war
against her.
BY bringing on war with America
Germany can ave the lives Of millions
Of her soldiers and billions OF treas
ure. II this 10 not done the loss OF
these lives and money is inevitable
even though In the end Germany
should triumph. But this war win
end just like tho Civil war ended in
favor OF the side with the largest
pocketbook and the larger army.
Notwithstanding all this the United
States will not 90 lightly to war. Ger.
many has already offered proyocation
enough. But she will have to 90 stu
farther. The next overture from Ger
many Is likely to be much more than
a slap on the wrist.

The sudden lowering Of the temp

Of snow were recorded.
But In Elko itself there was ne

H|LO'S FOURTH
PLEASES CROWDS;
MANY features
Visitors From AIT Parts of the
Islands are Attracted BY
Varied Program

A large party OF Honolulu folks re-
turned this morning from Hilo after
having spent the holidays in Hilo and
at the Volcano House
Hilo celebrated this years Fourth OF
July in great style There was some
thing doing" all day. The celebration
began on Saturday evening when fire.
works and a band concert attracted
many to Mooheau park. Thousands
gathered from all parts of the island.
On Sunday afternoon there were two
ball games which proved exciting. The
Hilo iron Works defeated the Ukino-
mine nine to the tune of IL to and
George Desha's bunch won game
easily from the ]. A. C.'s, 10 to s.
On the morning of July the whole
town turned out in the rain to witness
one of Hilo's largest parades. headed
by the 4th Cavalry band. Company
NJ, n. G.. H., came next with Capt.
Easton in command. The Hilo band
led the fire department crew. The
cadets from the training ship Newport
followed with their band and made a
coed showing The Honomu band, con-
sisting of 20 school boys all under the
age of -, were next in line and were
applauded along the route. A long
string Of automobiles closed up the
parade.
Aquatic sports at Kuhio wharf drew
a large crowd.
The automobile races at the Moo.
beau park drew the largest crowd in
the afternoon. Over 5000 spectators
were present and many automobiles
entered the various events. The 4th
Cavalry band played during the after
noon.
The day came to close with
dance in the Hilo arniory, which was
packed to the doors.

as being very favorable was a hcspi-

Saw SeattIe's Reclamation.
Il also investigated the reclamation
Of an entirely new waterfront for the
port CT Seattle, which is now being
carried on under the direction of the
board OF harbor commissioners.
Strange as it may seem, the port OF
Honolulu for the month of June had
less than 10 per cent of the shipping
done in Seattle and San Francisco.
Mr.. Forbes also arranged for the
designing of tive pilot boats, one for
Hilo and the other for Kahului The
designs are being made in Seattle. The
boats will cost about $500 each. They
will be 30 feet long and develop a
speed of 10 knots an hour
At present the board of harbor COM

construction of many wharyes and also
Several reinforced concrete grain ele-
vatoIs, says Mr.. Forbes. The last

the great lakes.
Much Unemployment.
speaking of labor conditions
throughout the country" he continued,
in Chicago alone there are 10000
mechanics cut en- strike. The strike
has tied up about $4,000. 600 worth of
construction work Work around Sc
attic is fairly plentiful. The only draw
back is the closing down of the lumber
mills, there not being sufficient ex-
pcrtatton of lumber.
An interesting feature CT my trip
was a visit to- the municipal dock at
Tacoma, where the local steamers, and
the steamers running between Seattle.

Every night the results of the games
throughout the league were posted up
on the blackboard in front of Schlag-
er's hardware store, and to see the
way in which the crowd stood around
it, and streamed across the street to-
ward it, you'd have thought they were
giving away gas stoves and hammock
couches.
Going home in the street car after
the game the girls used to gaze ador-
ingly at the dirty faces of their sweat
begrimed heroes, and then they'd rush
home, have supper, change their
dresses, do their hair, and rush down
town past the Parker hotel to mail
their letters. The baseball boys
