H E. FAILS

General Bernhard of the German general staff
who came into international fame several years ago as the
author of Germany and the Next War; is now writing
a summary Of the military achievements of Germany and
her allies. which confirms the thoroughness of German
preparation, and which places the authors former writ
lngs in the light of p%rOphesy. But his later contribution
which appeared i'll certain newspapers on Sunday last
will not contribute to any Of the various peace movements
recently organized among the neutral countries OF the
world.
In pointing out that the developments OF this great
est of the worlds wars have confirmed IN detail his
prophesy of the course which Germany would follow IN
such a case, he has not relieved the world OF that genera
suspicion that Germany was not averse to war.
But if all Of Germany could read a brief editorial from
the Saturday Evening Post OF November 2oth' Germany
might better understand the change OF mental attitude
that has involuntarily swept over this and other countries
since the attack on Belgium sixteen months ago, prior
to which Germany had more friends here than had Eng
land. This EXPRESSION, reading as follows, points out
where, after all, Germany fails:
B1ent with German efficiency is stupidity. Not
to know that sinking the Lusitania would be bad
business for Germany was to lack intelligence. Not
to know that Germany could not afford to shoot a
woman who acted with motives which all generous
minded persons applaud, was as bad, finally, as not
to know how to run the commissariat properly. 1t
raises up regiments in opposition; puts barbed-
wire entanglements in the path. Inability to culti-
vatc "a decent respect to the opinions OF mankind
is a positive, tangible handicap, for it involves in
ability to deal with an important factor in the prob
lem which has to be worked out.
OF course Junkerdom knows that good will is an
asset and i'll will a liability, but it does not under
stand the terms upon which either is to be had. NO
one could have read Bernhardis book, with its wor-
ship of war. without being struck by a certain bone
headedness-a sheer inability to understand mod
ern thought and conditions.
What makes Germany fearsome to the neutral
world is not her efficiency, but this dull ruthless
ness. 1t is not because the military caste knows
how to fight, but because it does not know how to
be humane, that its successes cause misgiVlng.
There is a great breach here III the imperial gov
ernment's efficiency.

GRASPING A BIG OPPORTUNITY

The United States Steel Corporation is evidently get
ting ready to 90 after the steel business of the world while
The plants and furnaces of Europe are busy supplying the
immediate needs of their several countries at war. 1t
evidently sees, also, that when peace shall dawn, it will
dawn upon a tangled and twisted mass of ruins that
must be restored.
Chairman Gary Of the big American concern seems
not to be disturbed, either, in perfectng his plans, by the
fact that two new and very large combinations in the steel
industry have recently been formed. His company con-
templates an expenditure OF SIoyoooyooo to be devoted en-
tirelv to increasing the capacity OF its plants. More than
100000 of this will go to one big plant, the one at Cary,
Indiana.
This expenditure is not for the manufacture OF MUM
lions Of war or war supplies or for any other purpose OF a
temporary nature. 1t is the biggest single step thus far
taken bv any concern toward the capture OF that part OF
the worlds trade which has heretofore gone to the manu-
facturers of Europe.
One of the unarmed steamers ~torpedoed the other
dav carried 5000 tons of wheat for the Belg1ans. \ grand
naval victory was that.

Two Spud Crops i'm One Season

Dan Potter, a rancher in the Las
Vegas valley. has just finished mar
keting his second crop of potatoes
from his land south of Vegas. The
crop is a full, large. even bunch OF
spuds, and the quantity is as large as
the first crop, which was dug early
in June. Las Vegas also has an ex-
hihit of seven sugar beets which
weigh altogether 10 pounds. They
are to be tested as to the amount OF
saccharine matter.

The troubles of a mining engineer are not altogether
confined to following the ore" A local mining engi-
neer and mine manager was prevailed upon recently to
inspect a property in Mineral county, the owner OF which
assured him that it was a bonanza in embryo. With his
chief assistant and the owner of the potential mine, the
engineer proceeded in his new touring car on a trip that
covered about 275 miles, but the owner was unable to find
his mine. Engineer --, who is not at all an irritable
man. is wondering just how much to write off to profit
and loss on account of time for himself and his assistant
and wear and tear on brake straps.

The pitiful distress of many Bel
gian people, ruined in purse ant
driven into exile on foreign shores
has been brought wildly to the at
of Mrs. Charles S. Sprague
through a letter written her by Mrs
Lowell Dyar, a relative who with he
husband, both American artists
have been living at the seapor
town of st. Ives, Cornwall. Eng
land, for a number of years ans
Mrs. Sprague and a number of he1
friends have been moved to take
some steps to raise a little money rt
send to these poor eXiled refugees
In her letter, Mrs. Dyar says:
''Do o think it would be
possible for you and some Of
your friends to get up some
sort of an entertainment to help
some stranded Belgians here,
who are quite destitute except
ing for the assistance the people
here are giving them. They
came soon after the invasion of
Belgium, when, as you no
doubt know. they had to leave
their homes at an hours o
tice, with only such clothes as
they could carry and what mon
ey they happened to have about
them. They have been here
some time and an arrangement
was made whereby almost ev-
eryone in town contributed
something every week, thus by
everyone helping, enough was
given to keep them in a simple
way.
but now the price of neces-
stiles have increased so tremen-
dously that the poorest cannot
give even the little they did and
the better off have had to re-
duce the amount hey did give.
The Belgians themselves have
been very brave and have work
ed when they could find work;
but this is only a little town;
many of the inhabitants are on
ly fisher people and most of
them poor, and cannot pay for
work.
The Belgians feel their pO-
sition intensely, for a lot of
them are educated people who
have always had their W
homes and servants and were
comfortably well off. Now
with the falling off of subscrip-
tions. l cannot think what they
will do. Poor things; if you
could see them with their worn
and anxious faces you would
forgive me for writing about
this. OF curse. I do not ex-
pect you to raise much, just
a few dollars would be a great
help and would help tide them
owe until something else can
be done"
Needing this appeal. as this is the
first time people of Goldfield have
had an opportunity of contributing
to help war sufferers. an auction par
ty has been arranged for the Unity

A NEW LIBERTY EMBLEM

The male population OF Germany, Austria and Hun
gary have been submitting with little complaint to three
years OF military training. in many states or provinces
subsisting on less than the American or the Englishman
would consider one full meal per day. Both Germany and
England not only admit. but contend, that they are fight
ing for their national existence. And they are. unless the
character of that national existence is to be materially al
tered.
England, crippled through lack OF munitions. due in
measure to the fondness OF many OF her people Tor their
stimulating drinks. orders that the hours of sale ci these
drinks be curtailed. Five hundred delegates claiming to
represent the laboring classes OF England meet IN protest
and demand that the order be revoked under penalty of
revolution.
By her own contentious England is fighting for no more
than is Serbia. where men and women are astonishing the
world BY their patriotism, their courage, their endurance
and their self-sacrifice. While the subjects OF the Central
empires give three years of service on one meal per day,
the Britisher who, freed from this service, will revolt
rather than give up a small part of his ale is not worth one
hour of the liberty his ancestors gave him as the price OF
their blood. If he typifies the English masses OF today
there is only one end to this war 50 far as England is con
Cerned.
1t is to be hoped that this element OF the English p1p-
ulation is neither in the majority nor in control, and II MOI,
they have given the government a timely warning it would
be fatal to ignore. Eternal Vigilance is still the Price OF
Liberty: a glass OF ale was never its emblem.

Claude Kitchin, minority leader in the House, is APP
parently hearing from home. His North Carolina con.
stituents are calling him misrepresentation KitchiD.
Claude always did rattle in his hat and even more in the
shoes he has stepped into from time to time by reason of
his long service in Congress from a State that didn't care.
They have a habit down in North Carolina of giving seats
in Congress 10 a few good fellows and asking no ques-
tons. But even a good fellow won't stand much
chance of holding a seat in Congress next year on a peace
at any price p~latfornn-not even from North Carolina.

LET'S HAVE THE COMMISSION

We are again informed from a variety of sources that
the tariff question should never have been in politics and
that the only way to get it out is to appoint a non-partisan
commission that will embody technical training and bust
ness experience to keep our import duties properly adjust
ed. Well, we have had just that kind of a commission.
1t was provided for and organized i'll connection with the
tariff law which preceded the present law, and the authors
Of the present law, who are now contending for such a
body, are the particular statesmen who kicked that COM
mission in the face, then booted it clear into the sea. And
if that commission did not fulfill every detail of the new
specifications, then the new specifications will have to be
revised, for they cannot be filled. Nevertheless, SO far as
the Tribune is concerned, let's have the commission.

Plan FOR island REPRESENTATION
ONPROMOTION COMMITTEE FAVORED

II is more important than ever before
to develop every other possible loca
industry in Hawaii.
There does not appear to be an!
local business capable of so high 6
degree of development for so small ar
investment OF capital and effort, with
so large and widely diffused returns
as that OF the care and entertainment
OF travellers.
THE island of Kauai makes no con
tribution to the funds of the Promo
ton Committee. Maui contributes only
$50 a month and Hawaii $50 a month
There has recently been strong ef
fort made to withdraw the Hawaii con
tribution and establish a separate tour
ist bureau In Honolulu representing
Hawaii alone-at a considerable in
crease of cost. ... -.
1T is manifest that development of
internal travel win be Of grester pro-
portionate value to the other islands
than to Oahu; but, notwithstanding
this, no enthusiasm and but little, &C.
tive cooperation is found on the other
islands.
TO remedy this condition, secure
the more active cooperation of the
other islands and stimulate the inter.
island development of the tourist bust
ness II is suggested that the Promo.
ton Committee be recognized in such
manner that each of the islands OF
Hawaii, Maui and Kauai be- given di
rect representation thereon: and thai
In each year the Promotion Commit
tee shall hold one or more meetings
in each of said islands, to consider, in
addition to general business, special
features incident to the tourist bust
ness on such islands respectively"

JAPANESEPRESS
RESENTS KlJH|0'S
BOGEY-RAIS|NG

Japanese editors as defenders of
the local Japanese are united in their
criticism of the anti-Japanese senti-
ment expressed by Hawaii's congress
sional delegate, Prince Kuhio, at the
hearing on the compulsory military
bill Tuesday night The Nippu Jiji
believes the delegate Is too limited in
his knowledge of fJacanese character
in. Hawaii to be fit Judge. The Ha-
wall Shinpo expresses regret that one
who represented Hawaii at the nation
al congress should know so little
about the people here.
The Nippu Jill writes:
The statement of our delegate to
Congress that Hawaii should take i'm
mediate steps to counterfeit the grow
ing Influence OF the Japanese we must
resent as being wrong and arising
from his ignorance of the true state
of affairs here. That the Japanese
should be patriotic in their love Of
their native country is no more than
natural, but to declare that patriotism
to Japan would oVeTshadow patriotism
to America after attaining citizenship

I'VE assure the prince that assim-
Hated Japanese will never turn
against the United States in time Of
war. We. sincerely hope he will rel
frain from statements Injurious to Ha-
Waii at large until he has Investigated
conditions and can speak authori.i
tatively."
Similar comments are published in
today's issue of the Hawaii Shinpo:
"Kuhio is apprehensive that the
Japanese are too patriotic That pat.
riotism is being swung to United
States by the schools and by every
day life in Hawaii Japan is unknown
to Hawaiian-born Japanese; Hawaii
is their home. We regret that Prince
Kuhio should give expression to such
false anti-Japanese tendencies"
