N very frank Statement Of the Runianian case
- as it stood several weeks ago when Bulgaria
launched its invasion Of Serbia, and as it stands
today, so far as can be told from the little veri
able news that comes out, has been made by
prominent Rumanian statesman and published in
Serbia before Nish fell 1t appeared as an ex-
PLANTATION to the Serbs of Rumanian inactivity
And Rumania's position is undoubtedly that Of
Greece. Neither Of these nations dare enter the
war until sufficient force, from Russia in the
case OF Rumania, and from the British and French
in the case Of Greece, is on the ground to make
fairly certain that iSerba's fate would not be also
theirs. & 1ss#
Says the Rumanian statement:
None but the Great Powers of the Quadruple
Entente can face Germany and her Allies. But
when can we count with certainty on the effec-
tive Intervention in the Balkan Peninsula of Eng
land and her Allies? Nobody can answer this
question We all know what Germany wants
and what Germany will do: But does anyone
know what the Quadruple Entente will dor You
know very well that the Quadruple Entente Isl
not harmonious whole. The agreement Of Sep
TENDER 5, 1914 only binds its constituents not to
conclude separate peace; but no provision was
made for common and unified policy in conduct
ing the war IN this respect each OF the four Pow
ers ENGLAND, France, Russia and Italy, has re-.
tanned its own freedom of action. The result is
II
that in every new situation the Quadruple Entente
is obliged to confer as to what policy shall be
adopted, and such negotiations, even though they
produce perfect accord, inevitably mean delay
you will surely understand that in these cir
cumstances every neutral country, and particular
ly Rumania With her dangerous geographical
positon) must take not to incur the hostility
Of Germany in return for the empty friendship Of
the QuadrupIe Entente.
This is the secret of Rumania's attitude, and
probably Of that Of Greece You and Others tell
us that the final victory of the Quadruple Entente
is certain. We do not doubt it, but it must be adj
mtted that this victory is likely to be long delayed
The English, on their island, can afford to wait
for victory; but Rumania cannot afford to incur
the hostility of Germany and Austria while wait
ing for the end OF the war, for in the intervening
period she might easily suffer the fate Of Belgium
and share the destruction melted out to Serbia
You Serbans may say that this is selfish policy
assure you it ismerely a policy of sef-preserva-
tion You cannot reasonably remand that we.
should expose our country to the terrible danger
of making a rnerciless enemy without possessing
a guarantee that his opponents will support us"

Portland Oregonian. Under our present laws we
accept any new citizens who offer themselves we
should select those who will be a valuable acquisi-
ton. We exclude all Chinese and Japanese except
limited class, while admitting persons of other
tons who are far more Objectionable than would be
many of the Chinese and Japanese. Atthe same time
by excluding people of those nations by name we
cause resentment which seriously mars the harmony
Of international relations We do nothing to make
aliens American in habit, thought and speech; we
make them American in name only, so long as we
do not educate them By neglect to distribute them
where there are openings for them, we permit inn
migrants to become an undigested mass in the great
centers of population, danger to social order.
Little difficulty and no ceremony accompany nat
ufalization hence the new citizen is not impressed
with its Importance as he would be on similar oc-
casion in his native country. The federal govern
ment being responsible to other nations for protec
tion of their citizens within our borders should have
full power to give it. Much friction with other ma
lions would then be avoided and this nation would
rise higher in the esteem Of its neiehbors
Mr.. Gulick has made some good general sugges
tons for revision of immigrant laws If the lines
laid down by him were followed the literary test,
which has caused vetoes of three successive bills,
would be avoided and we should have reasonable Sc
curity against food of ignorant unassimiable ma
terial from any one country. We could also be as
sured that persons admitted to citizenship would be
fairly qualified to perform its duties

|NNE ofsthe new departures OF the Navy league
- is. .. project for the formation Of a league
for juniors The idea lisa good one, and as cor-
respondent of "The Navy" suggests, there is OPP
portupity in it for permanent good if point is
made Of teaching the children Of the country the
histories Of American wars as they were. In the
past, there has been altogether too great ten
dency to indulge in spfead-eagleism when telling
of the military and naval activities Of the United
States. Defects and mistakes have been CLOSED
over and in some instances successes have been
much magnihed. and presented out OF their con-
text. This Is quite natural and under some cir
|cumstances it would work little harm
Unfortunately, in America such course has a
distinctly dangerous tendency and has resulted IN
much evil The average man, knowing little Of
the history Of his country except what ne has
extracted from school textbook perhaps under
the tutelaee Of ateacher OF no original IDEAS and
little il any research gains the impression that the
conflicts between this country and other powers
have been series OF glorious episodes, monuments
both to the bravery of the citizenship and the
wisdom and efficiency OF the government There
are some ugly incidents in the War OF 1872 that
cannot wellsbe hidden, but they are largely for
gotten BY the average youth in the picture OF a
final triumph which is held up to his view, q
So far as the patriotism and herosm of those in
the ranks are concerned and so far as the devotion
and efficiency of1ofcers are concerned, the United
Statesshas just cause TO be proud. But in the d-
rection Of governmental management and wisdom
and foresight and preparedness there is much to
be desired and the remissness ofcongress in par
ticular has been the cause of extensive needless
suffering and expense; it has been responsible for
the sacrifice Of scores Of thousands, perhaps of
hundreds of thousands, of lives There are even
those who maintain that had the American gov
eminent been possessed Of an adequate standing
army and an uptodate feet in 1861 there would
have been no Civil war, or at most only an abort
ed insurrection. However that may be, the inner
military and naval histories Of the War of 1872,
the Mexican war, and even the Spanish-American
war, coi.tan passages which if read and under
stood Alright by the youth Of this country would
cause hot indignation and determination that there
will be change in the future 3.is !, +, s.
Officers of the army and navy of the United
States know the truth about the past, and occa-
sionay there is very frank discussion Of condi-
tons past and present in their technical journals
but these unfortunately seldom come before the
eyes OF the general public and never penetrate into
the schoolroom. X Df h .Ass ~. ~

CHOLERA ATTACKS
OAHU swine HERDS
Some Of the Best Stock On Island
Said To Be Afflicted

Reports continue to come in of the
prevalence Of hog cholera, in some
places in an almost epidemie form, on
this Island, and it is understood that
the authorities are considering methods
Of combating the disease.
A. L. O. Atkinson, the WATERFOWL
hog magnate, reports the existence of
cholera among his choice stock, and
Percy Pond, who raises some of the
finest pork in the Islands, ON the plains
of Leilehua, has also been a sufferer
from the dread sickness. :gg ..i.Gt5.
DR.. A. Il. Rowat, one of best known
veterinarians in the Territory, speaking
Of the matter last night said:.& d, ri
From an economic point of view,
as well as for the protection of pro.
Queer and consumer, the health of the
livestock sof this Territory should be
most zealously safeguarded. About
two years ago an outbreak of the dis.
ease in the swine herds of this island
did a lot of damage. z
f-t' At the present time an outbreak
Of disease is decimating the hogs on
the ranches Of Oahu. The disease at
first was thought TO be cholera but was
later declared TO be caused by swilIs
and lead poisoning. That there should
be,more than . fieeting doubt as 10 the
idontity Of these diseases seems i'm.
possible. Lead poisoning, both in its
acute and chronic forms, presents def
mite, positive and constant symptoms,
and while those of hog cholera may
have slight similarity, they should
never be misinterpreted for the former.
"a chemical analysis on the one
hand, or a blood test on the other
would remove all doubt and would pre-
vent delays which are dangerous and
which, .jeopardizea the prospects of an
industry which ean be made Of great
commercial Importance ~ ss-

MAKES HIS MONEY
 MAKING PRISONERS

Berlin, Feb. 2S.-An officer at Aus trian headquarters in Ga,licia writes of how a Bohemian corporal who spoke Russian carried on a lucrative business enticing Russians over to the Austrian lines by painting to them in rosy co1ors the easy time Russian prisoners were having in Austria.
 Tor every unarned prisoner which this thrifty corporal is able to, entice to our lines,' he writes, ''he gets twenty cents, while for an armed one he gets forty cents. Hence he usually sends an unarmed deserter back to get his gun and, if possible, to bring some of his comrades with him. There continued to be many deserters as long as the 230th. Rus sian division was in front of odr lines but this has been replaced by Q more trustworthy division, owing to the fact that it mutinied on the Russian New Year,
 The Austrian undertakes to ex- plain this mutiny by saying:
 s'The ma1contents appeared before their commander and complained that the promise to finish the war by New Year had not been kept. He put them off with soothing news that he was expecting every moment a telegram from the czar announcing the end of the war; but when the telegram failed to materia1ize fifty men deserted to the Austrians.'',

EARL IEvEN.

John David Leslie Melville, twelfth Earl of Leven and Melville, who was the hero of a. thrilling escape from the Germans, by whom he had been taken prisoner, is twenty eight years old. His arrival in England last month. safe and sound, was a great surprise to his relatives and friends, as he had been reported dead His name was the first to be published in an English casualty list, and he was mourned as the first officer to give his life for England. The young Earl went to the front at the beginning of the war as a lieutenant in the Scots Greys. He was wounded in the thigh during his first engagement. Left be- hind by the retreating army, he was captured by the Germans and treated in their field hospital. When he had partly recovered he was sent to a prison camp in Germany, but after
 many thrilling experiences he made good his escape. Disguised as a Bel gian refugee, he travelled through the northern part of that country and suc- ceSsfully passed the German lines and made his way into Holland. After a. brief stay in England he returned to his regiment The Earl of Leven and
 Melville holds an ancient title, the first Baron Melville having been created just three centuries ago. The third Baron Melville was the arnbas- sador to England to plead for the life
 of Mary. Queen of Scots. The first Earl of Leven was a distinguished sol dier, serving in Holland and becoming a field marshal of Gustavus Adolphus l of Sweden. He fought in the civil war, first on the Parliamentary side,
 but afterward worked for the restora-
 ton. Besides the <earIdom. the fam

HoNnODEs IN CONNECTICUT.

Senator Shields of Tennessee has i'm troduced a bill to prohibit interstate commerce in pistols, revo1vers and similar firearms except such as are of the type used by the army and navy of the United States. The bill inn poses a fine of from $10O to $500 or Imprisonment for from thirty days to six months, as penalties for violating the act. In support of his bill MT. Shields submitted statistics which tend to show that homicide Is increasing in this country.
 In. New Haven it is shown that there were II homfcides in 1913, in 1912. in 1911, 5 in 1910, and so on back Wards varying from to honicides annually during the years 19OO-1909. There were homicides in Bridgeport in 1913, in 1912, in 1911, 4 in 1910, figures for years prior to that not be- ing given in MT. Shields table.
 In the whole state of Connecticut the number of homicddes has shown a tendency to increase. In 1901 the number was 3, in 1902 it was 8, in 1908 it had more than doubled, being z in 1904 it dropped back to 2, but in 1905, jumped to Is, when it went on up to 19 in 1906, 24 in 1907, S9 each in 1902 and 1909. There was an ira- provement in conditions in 1910. when homicides in Connecticut numbered 27, but then the rate went upwards again, reaching a total of 4S in 1911, Al in 1912 and AT in 1913.

Swiss Are Ordered
 To Leave Alsace

Basel, Feb. 2s.-The latest German military instructions for the evacua- ton of all neutra1s from Alsace af- fects 5000 Swiss subjects. A neutral zone has been created on the German side near the Swiss frontier. the in- habitaEts of which are still allowed to communicate with Switzerland under certain restrictions, but all vil- Iages beyond this district are isolated by barbed. wire fences and the sen tries have orders to shoot at any per son attempting to cross the border line. The market gordneres of Neu- dorf, who supply Basel with 8 large portion of it's vegetables are thus cut off.
