GERMAN AIR STRATEGY ON WEST
front HAS CHANGED since MAY

LONDON. Eng.-German air STRAIT
egg has changed since last May. when,
for a period of some months few Ger
man aeroplanes appeared near the
allied lines on the western front But
the latest reports from Sir John
French show that more than 200 air
battles have been fought recently
with the British ayiators. by whom
10 German aeroplanes were brought
down. These included several new
types, besides the familiar Taube.
The new types the Germans have
been experimenting with are modelled
on the battleplane idea. One Of these
was big heavily armed ,biplane with
twin bodies and two or three engines.
But it did not seem to be entirely
successful, as it was rather slow and
unwieldy. Next 10 appear were two
very similar biplanes of the ordinary
tractor type with single but very pow
erful engines. The two used TO chase
up and down the German lines at a
terrific speed and with an unusual
amount of noise. apparently to fright
en- away British airmen.
Apparently they impressed the Ger.
mans as useful, as more Of the same
type made their appearance. Machine
guns fore and aft, the range of the
first limited by the propeller and the
after gun having clear field in an
upward direction. gave them certain
formidableness as scouts. Several of
these were brought down by both
British and French. but their numbers
have nevertheless continued to in
crease Of late. They keep largely to
their own lines, which seems to be
the German plan of air strategy.
The German plan is obviously to
destroy the greatest number of enemy
aeroplanes with a minimum loss to
themselves They do this by enticing

BROWN, coMMoN.sENsE EVANGELIST

John Edward Brown is filling Central Union
church because he is an evangelist of power
and simplicity, and with few of the methods
to which the average non-ehurch member OBJ
jects as playing to sensation.
To the older generation, his talks are re.
mindful of the preachers of some decades ago
who were not afraid to mention hell and the
devil frequently and pointedly, and who dealt
little with theology and great deal with the
hopes and fears and sorrows and joys and
passions and aspirations of the human heart
To the younger generation, he speaks as one
who really yearns to help others to Christian
life. He speaks as big brother who has found
path and wishes to aid others in finding it.
His message is not surrounded by polished
phrases or borne on the wings of gilded
rhetoric, but it has crude eloquence which to
the average audience is more convincing and
more permanently implanted.
"A great many Honolulans have said, sob,
don I believe in these evangelist fellows All
they do is to appeal to the emotions
Browns appeal is less to emotion than to
common-sense and decent sense. 1t is a pity
that more of the non-church goers who ''don Z
believe in these evangelist fellows do not &C
to hear Brown. He doesn't fit the type the,
have in mind lie would be genuine surprise

THE STRIDES OF THE SHORT BALLOT

Part of the tactics of the reactionaries in the
recent charter convention was to declare that
the "short- ballot" form of government has
not yet been given a thorough trial in Ameri-
can cities-that it is still an experiment, at
tempted only by a few, therefore Honolulu
should not try it.
No one could make such statement except
out of ignorance or wilful Misrepresentation.
In recent address to the League of Pacific
Northwest Municipalities, its president, Mayor
Fassett of Spokane, said:
Tin fifteen years-a very short time in the
history of our nation-four hundred American
cities have accepted new form of government
which is an almost revolutionary change from
that which was universal until the close of the
last century. In some states the change was
urgently called for long before the state legis
lature could be persuaded to grant the right
to cities to make their own local government;
in other states this right is not yet granted
but all students of government will admit that
commission form of government has found a
place in American political life and that its
discussion and adoption has stimulated the in
terest of our people in governmental affairs
generally.
And now that we are prepared to investi-.
gate and accept new ideas in city government,
comes upon the stage new proposal known
as city manager form. Forty cities have now
adopted il, and many others are considering
it; some are attaching it to the commission
form, others to the older aldermanic system; ]
some,are adapting it to present forms by few
amendments to existing charters; others are
starting out with new charter along the un
tried road, but all are looking and hoping fol
better government.
'sOity manager forms seem to offer us an
Improvement upon the commission forms
which have been so largely adopted. The com
mission, or council, which determines the poll
cies Of the government, may be elected by pro
portionaI- representation. thus giving minori
ties representation in proportion to their mum
bers in the electorate; may be composed Of
citizens who are busiy engaged in their owp
affairs but willing to give some little time t.
their city; may call for such service without
pay, thus eliminating the attractiveness of the
position to cheap politicians. The manager
may be hired from any part of the country
where the right man may be found, thus open
ing a new profession for which our colleges viii
train young men; he may be an expert in city
administration where now practically all off
cials are amateurs; he may hope to be pro
NOTED from small city to a larger one if he
makes good in the smaller; he may devot.
himself to administrative work, being re
sponsible to a small body of representative mel
and not to more or less Indifferent and unin
formed electorate"
Mentioning this now may seem like rehash
ing old stuff, but it is a very recent summing
up of a movement which Honolulu cannot con
tinue to overlook
