Military Needs

ZEN FRANCIS ". GREENE, u. S. A., re-
~ tired, has contributed timely book to the
Nation on THE Present Military Situation in the
United States" recently issued by Charles Serb
ner's Sons. General Greene is a soldier with
Civil War record and with experience in the Span
ish and Philippine wars and as an observer in the
Russo Turkish war, but writes as patriot as well
as fighter. NV "a ~ srs3,. & II F.. -.
His comments on the American treatment Of
the Japanese comes at an opportune time, with
possibility of revival of anti Japanese sentiment
on the Pacific Coast resultant from the tense sit
uation developing in the Orient. General Greene
reviews the California agitation and comes to the
opinion that little more OF the same treatment
of the Japanese would force the hand of the paci-
fists in Japan and precipitate war. He says;
IT, as a result of supreme folly in dealing
with Japan as we do not deal with other ma
tions, the Japanese shall be goaded into war
with us regardless Of its ultimate consequences
to them, the first blow would probably be struck
by Japan before any declaration Of war; it would
be dealt with o swiftness and q certainty Of
which people have no conception, and ac-
eordng to definite plan carefully. prepared in
tv adYanee rif n h aalg tsn435&a ~ SIS stif
He explains what their plan Of campaign might
we'll be- and thinks that our people should under
stand these facts SO that 1--WE may think that it
becomes us TO treat the Japanese with the same
politeness that they treat us and that we show to
other nations" ~ Il. vi ~ @J"f @'& .I g. ~' 'I
Concluding, General Greene sums up this way !:
| Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just.
Aye true indeed! But quarrels there yet will be.
And no nation unarmed can enforce its quarrels,
however just" ,'...... >",'.".. hfa 2a.

An UngratefM
Constituency, /,

MILLIONS,9f dozens Of eggs are being ship
AVA ped from China to the, United States and
Canada, and now word comes from the Pacific
Coast that thousands of small farmers in the poul
try business are being forced to the wall as re-
suit of that provision in the Underwood tariff act
placing eggs on the free list. Theoretically every.
one should be allowed to bury food products in the
cheapest market. The high cost of living must be
reduced, come what, may. Fresh eggs can be
bought in the Chinese ports at 'bne and a half to
three cents per dozen. Five cents dozen amounts
to famine prices in the Orient for this favorite
American breakfast fruit.
So much for theory In practise very large
number OF small farmers who have maintained
good homes, and have been good citizens and have
lived according to American standards now sud-
denly find that their livelihood is gone and the
monetary value of their few hundreds, or few thou
sands of dollars invested in poultry farms is dis
appearing, because the Californian two-cent-egg
cannot compete with the Chinese eggs, worth two
cents dozen. rs ~ .-, e&
The free entry of Chinese eggs into the Ameri-
can market hasfhot helped the Chinese poultry
raisers. Eggs are still two cents dozen over
there. The traders and importers, however, have
reaped fortunes while the American poultry farm
ers have had to go out of business.
This brilliant stroke of Democratic tariff 1egis-
lation has merely created half dozen egg mil
honares in the place OF ten or twenty Thousand
farmers who were making decent living from a
small investment, but must now scrap their capi-
tai and turn to something else
1t has not reduced the cost of living to any
extent but has rather forced the city business man
to take his fried instead of soft boiled. There is
too much speculation about soft boiled egg that
was born in China And so all that the great
Democratic party has gained through this mastery
effort to reduce the high cost of the American
breakfast table is generous, whole-souled Amer
lean damn rumbling from the combined throat and
gullet Of producer and consumer all the way from
San Diego to Puget Sound. ~

6OTEACHERSSEEK
LOCAL POSITIONS
Promotion In Store For Pedago-
CUES From Other Islands
Work For Normal Graduates

~ WHtH U5H .NAkisNlr Il. ffff. "a u ~ 81 - ai
Sixty teachers employed In public
schools on the Islands outside Of Oahu
have signifed their desire to be trans
ferred TO schools on this island. That
Is, superintendent Of Public Instruction
II. w. Kinney has thus far received APP
plieations from that many teachers who
seek promotion. These are in response
to the letters recently sent to all the
teachers, asking them their plans as to
whether they intended to follow school
work next year or IL they desired to DO
changed TO other schools.
Superintendent Kinney some time ago
decided to hold all vacant positions in
Oahu schools for. worthy and capable
teachers from outside. districts who
want the more desirable positions in
the city. In past years malihini teach
ers from the mainland have been given
the local positions
1t Is estimated that the increase in
school attendance at the beginning Of
the new term next September will make
Il necessary for The department TO EN-.
ploy more new teaches on Oahu than
the number of applications thus far re-
| eeived r.
There win be thirty graduates from
the Normal school in June. All but two
of these have signifed their intention Of
| engaging in school work and they will
be offered positions. OF the class Of
| thirty, six of the girls are capable Of
taking charge of domestic science work.
-Four of the young men who will grad.
uate have received excellent instrue-
ton in vocational training. The six
girls will be offered positions as teach
ers in domestic science in as many
schools in the other Islands. Positions
as instructors in vocational training
will be given the four boy graduates
In this way Superintendent Kinney
hopes in time to establish full corps
Of instructors in domestic science and
vocational training from among grad
yates of the territorial Normal school.
An effort is also being made to have
grammar school graduates enter the
normal school instead Of the high school.
A. Normal school certificate, IL is
pointed out, assures the holder of pro-
fession and a good position upon finish
ing Normal school work. This argu-
ment has been well received by pupils
in the grammar grades and high school
TO whom Superintendent Kinney has
talked during. the past year. AS re-
suit il is believed the registration at
the Normal school next year will show
a decided increase over past years.

Toxic Versus Peki11q

\ S conflicting the official war reports from

ture of the Japanese demands upon China that

tives of the various American missionary societies
in China have cabed that the demands threaten
the safety of China and the safety of American

Another Near-Accident

Will Hussman came near to
having a serious accident with
his car Wednesday noon when
returning to his home in the
Proctor addition. He had in
stalled some irons on the steer
ing gear of the car that morning
and as a consequence the car did
not steer as easily as before. He
had been down town with his
little daughter and was returning
at a rather fast clip when the cal
took a sudden swerve and ran In
to the ditch just beyond the
brewery. Will jammed the brake
on hard and shut off the engine
and the car stopped without do
ing any damage to itself or tn
occupants but the escape was
narrow one and Will does no
care to repeat it.
