oETr1Nc TEL roURIsTs ATTENTIoN.

Director general Cooper's plan to visit the
mainland soon in the interest of transportation
and publicity for the 1916 Mid Pacific Carnival
is wise move. If transportation to Hawaii
dnring the Carnival season can be developed
and specialized, it viii certainly aid in getting
more tourists here. The trip of the director
general to the Coast cities and further east viii
result in much desirable newspaper publicity.
AS an indication of the proftableness of the
tourist trade, Secretary Lane Of the interior
department recently estimated that American
tourists will spend about $10OOOO,000 this
SIMMER and fall in seeing America" that
sum being expended in the United States where
ordinarily it would have gone to Europe. '.The
war is inducing Americans to spend their vaca-
ton money at home The whole country is the
gamer, says Secretary Lane.
Hawaii, the Isles Of Peace, offers the
American tourists aneqnalled opportunities.
Anything that viii help turn the attention of
the hundreds of thousands Of Americal travel
ers to these islands is bound to promote the
tourist traffic.

Honolulu, 7. H, July Is. 1915.
Editor Honolulu Sfar-Bulletin.
Sir: n connection with the various
discussions IN regard to the sinking
Of the English passenger steamer
Lusitania. allow me to remark that a
statement was made by Germany that
this passenger steamer was an auxil
iary cruiser. which statement. so
remember, has been contradicfed on
many occasions.
In the November issue of the Am
erican Magazine, published by Charles
AScribner's Sons of New York, read
on page 565 under the heading. "The
Germans IN Brussels:
But when. on the third day, we
came on deck the news was writ
ten against the sky. Swinging
from the tunnels, sailors were
painting out the scarlet and black
colors Of the Cunard line and sub
stitnting a moiSeslike gray. Over
night we had passed into the
hands of the admiralty, and the
Lusitania had emerged a cruiser.
This remark was made by our great
American, Mr.. Richard Harding Davis.
Yours very truly,
