THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

The discrimination against soldiers and
sailors at the mayors luau constitutes an Incl
dent as distasteful to Honolulu as to the army
and the navy-and an incident to be ended as
soon as possible. The only good reason for the
supervisors to investigate it is so that the pub
lie will know where the blame lies, as the public
has right to know. The mayor blames the
police and the police blame the mayor. While
the mayors letter to Captain Kittelle did not
in SO many words put the onus upon the police
department, theoretically he indicated that the
police had gone beyond their instructions. He
acknowledged no personal responsibility for
the incident Inasmuch as the sheriff has said
he would furnish affidavits to prove the
mayor S orders specifically were to exclude the
soldiers, Honolulu is naturally interested in
knowing what story to believe and what official
to credit in the future.

Summary of Activities Present
ed at Annual Meeting By
Mrs. H. B. ReStarick

| The following report, summarizing
| the work Of the guilds throughout the
islands during the last year, was pre-
lex, wife of the bishop of Honolulu
at the annual meeting of the Won
ans Auxiliary of the 18th annual Epis
copal eonvocation today:

! out the islands the past year. The
total in dollars and cents is S45S7.5I
While this is an excellent showing
yet in. spite of an increase from II
to Is guilds reporting, We find a short
age over last years total of $659.93
Only four guilds show an increase
namely, Epiphany, Kaimuki; Christ
church, kona; Holy lnnocents, La
>haina, and st. Peters, Honolulu.
But this does not take into &C.
count the Red Cross or Christmas ship
or Belgian relief in which at least
eight guilds have had share.
Now as to the reason of the de
crease in this years total While it
is our duty and sacred privilege to aid
to the utmost of our ability the great
work for suffering humanity which the
war entails, yet, as has been predict
ed, contributors to church extension
and support, as we'll as philanthropic
work around US, have fallen off in con-
sequence. know it has been for this
reason that ST. Andrews cathedral

head the list this year. St Andrews
hands over the banner this year to
st. Clements, and with as good a
grace as she can command, accepts
second place on the honor. roll.
Il must speak of the relief commit
tee which has broadened out into new
fields in addition to its usual work at
home. Besides it's annual pledge to
the Kings Daughters home. it has
been the means of sending large and
generous boxes of clothing to the war
sufferers and a splendid sum to the
Christmas ship and the starving Bel
gians. Mrs. Arthur G. Smith headed
the church's department of the Red
Cross work and Mrs. Walter l.. Emory
the Christmas ship enterprise. This
guild has also taken an active part in
the child welfare movement and there
by broadened the scope of the
church's influence and power in this
community. 49,. a.. r.. 49,. :.
THE aim of every member, l am
sure, is to promote a family. feeling
