HAYS EXPERIENCE WITH GERMAN
DIPLOMACY.

German diplomacy was considered ''gener
ally brutal by the late John Hay, one of the
greatest American diplomats. His comments
are brought to mind during the interchange of
communications now in progress between
Washington and Berlin. *.=
IIarper's Magazine for June recounts an in
eident whose outline will be remembered by
most Americans but whose details are still to be
filled in. The publication of Hays letters re-
piyed it. In May, 1901, Hay received word at
the state department that German warships
have been surreptitiouslf inspecting the Santa
Margarita Islands off the coast of Venezuela,
with view to occupying them as a naval base.
1.-The story cannot yet be written of Germany S
attempt to recover by force claims of German
investors against Venezuela. 1t is known, how
ever, that our administration gave Germanyten
days in which to agree to arbitration; that
IIolleben replied that arbitration was impoAsi-
bic, as the kaiser had commanded the other
course; that the administration secretly ordered
our feet to proceed to Caracas; and that on the
afternoon before his ten-day limit expired Hol-
leben came in haste to announce that the kaiser
had consented to arbitrate: Venezuela engaged
the American minister, Mr.. Herbert W. Bowen,
to conduct the negotiations for her. 49,"
Secretary Hay wrote to private correspond
emf: .. H.. ...-.~.
"They 1.-THE German government are very
much preoccupied IN regard to our attitude, and
a commnnique recently appeared in the Berlin
papers indicating that the negotiations would
have gone on better but for our interference.
We have not interfered, except in using what
good offices we could dispose of to induce all
nd of
Element and in this way we have been, think,
eminently successful / think the thing that
rankles most in the German official mind is
what Bowen said to Sternburg: Very well; /
will pay this money which you demand, because
Il am not in position to refuse, but give you
warning that for every thousand dollars you
exact in this way you will lose million in
South American trade.

PLAN TO SUBMIT
FOR next YEAR

This is commencement week at Pun,
ahou. The undergraduates are the
center OF attraction on all days except
Friday. That day is reserved for the
alumni and the alumnae and former
students. II is the one day in all the
year when they can show their inter
est in and loyalty to old Punahou in
no unmistakable way. and that way is
by attending the annual supper and
meeting to be held at 6: 30 O'Clock on
the lawn in front of Castle Hall.
Great efforts are being made this
year to secure an unusually large at.
tendance Of graduates, old ard young,
and former students and friends of
Punahou' a sponsor has been chosen
from each of the classes since 1900,
and these sponsors are interviewing
the younger graduates and securing
from them promises to be On hand at
the annual meeting. This does not
mean that the older enes are net
wanted. They are wanted most de-
cidedly and it is hoped that graduates
from all the classes will be there.
The supper committee is headed by
Mrs. j. l.. Mclean and she will be as
sisted by Mrs. Charlotte Ewing and
Miss Ruth Anderson.
After a short business meeting Is
over and the officers elected for the
year f915-16. the trustees will, through
their committee, present something

grand celebration of the Jubilee an
niversary was held in 1891. Next year

GERMAEY's SMASHING ATTACK M THE
EAST

The smashing victories of the AustrO- Germans III
Galicia have been won by a new method of attack,
according to the Associated Press correspondent in
Petrograd. The Teutonic Allies have employed in
their battling against the Russians not only an
overpowering weight of artillery, but tremendous
weight of men.
The Teutons struck the enemy the irresistible
blows of battering-ram. The Russians, poorly
officered and scantily supplied with ammunition,
were rammed and torn and cut day after day. Ali
the hell of war was LET loose around them. No
wonder the Teutons took PrzemysI in few days
and are hard upon Lemberg.
For the first time in this war the Germans in
their latest advance into Russian territory have
adopted tactical formation for attack. The
formation is likened by military experts to the
Macedonian phalanx-with this difference, that it is
composed, not of individuals but of divisions and
army corps. Ill ~ .~...~ f
This phalanx, in the advance from Cracow,
moved along the line of the GorIice-Ja slo Rzeszof
railway and included ten full army corps of which
five, forming the main striking head, were picked
troops withdrawn specially for the purpose from
the French front.
The phalanx was superabundantly provided with
artillery, including large number of heavy bat
teries. The latter were also in many brought
across Germany from the French front. For ex-
ample twenty -four battalions of the Prussian Guard
Corps had with them forty batteries half of which
were of heavy caliber.
This ancient battle formation, newly applied in
modern war; had naturally tremendous driving
force, but it was deprived of any great possibilities
Of tactical movement by the fact that it was
chained to a line of railway whereby alone it could
maintain its supplies and munitions in the quanti
ties required by such q huge concentration
The eof movement of the phalanx in o for.
ward direction cannot have exceeded four miles a
day, in the opinion Of Russian experts. But its mo-
mentum was irresistible, and it was this phalanx
Formation which forced the crossing of the San river
al Lezaehow. 1t was assisted by an immense hotilla
of aeroplanes.
The Germans, in withdrawing many of their best
troops from the French front, filed the gaps neces-
sary left there, with oyerpowerng technical supe-
nority. Thus where the Germans find themselves
opposed by thousand men and two machine guns,
they post = hundred men and twenty machine guns,
confident that by continuing ON the defensive with
an extended use of the technical adjuncts of war
fare they safely Withdraw their best troops for
temporary service elsewhere.
