The Hawaiian ArobipslagO Is Hardly Bic Enough
To Maks Decent Sled CattLe Raneb l. L.

"HE Hawaiian Islands are located
in the middle Of the Pacific Ocean
- 2O00 miles from the san Francisco
Exposition and occupy so much space
in the atlas and the headlines that the
reader would naturally imagine them
10 be Of imposing extent.
Nothing is farther from the truth
The Hawaiian archipelago doesn't con-
tain enough land to make a respectable
Texas cattle ranch It is only half the
size Of Belgium and most Of IL is de-
voted exclusively TO the production Of
volcanoes and lava beds. If the city
Of New York were placed on Oahu, the
most important Of the islands, several
wards would get exceedingly wet at
high tide.
Altogether the Hawaiian Islands con-
tain $500 square miles. divided into
eight principal islands. For so small a
patch Of ground il has contributed
nightly to history and tourist litera-
ture in the last fifty years.
The Hawaiian islands are noted prin-
cipally for climate. natives and vOlca-
noes The climate is so encouraging
that anything can be grown and Hawaii
is a sort Of a national dollhouse. All
tropical products except boa constric-
tors flourish there and seven steamship
lines are kept busy hauling Hawaiian
sugar TO this country

Of graves import, two presidents and two secretaries
Of state have done during the Mexican troubles
few, very few, senators and congressmen-be
1t said to their everlasting honor-have refused to be
bound by any agreement of dishonorabe silence and
timid acquiescence, and have made bold to express
their honest opinions in public But the great mass Of
both houses has been immovabe in its policy of sup
preston silence and outward approval of measures that
never possessed shred of merit and that have proved
utter failures.
This IS one Of the mysteries. Another is that the
press and people Of the country generally have taken
the same stand the congress- and have refused to
insist acquiring knowledge of the truth as the first
step toward any possible improvement They write
and talk without knowledge, and the majority of
newspaper comments on the Mexican situation are
nothing but echoes of the parrot & monkey program
Of two adminstratiOns-ths without regard to party
There has been no attempt to make party politics out
of the Of Mexico and the failures of the Wash
ington government. On the score of dement's one ad
ministration is fully culpable as the other.
On file at Washington there must be millions Of
words Of official and unofficial reports Correspondence
departmental documents, and memoranda bearing on
the Mexican question. Much of this concerns foreign
countries Almost of It has ever been made public

pulled down the shades in the hollow

Uncle Wiggily. Nurse didn't want the

one with which he had scared away
the bad fox the day before. as I told

THE WAR NEWS.

1t was officially announced at midnight, Feb.
25th, that all the forts at the entrance of the
Dardanelles had been reduced by the Allied
fleet. For several days the allied British
and French feet had been pounding at these
forts, which constituted the greatest obstacle
to passage of the straits. Within the straits
and in the Sea of Marmora are other fortifica-
tions, but these are believed to be of weaker
structure. Complete pos, esson of the Darda-
neles would assure the reduction of any de.
fenses in the broad sea of Marmora by the
tremendous force of heavy guns on the allied
fleet, in cooperation with the army This
would leave the defences of Constantinople
itself open to attack. Military experts are
agreed that if a decisive victory is to be won

danelles. But it's long, long way to Constan-
tinople, with Notifications on each side and at
one place a passage only a mile wide and

mally forbade the selectmen using the towns
money for the purpose, saying that he had
consulted the Attorney General and that it was
an indictabe offence. This led to heated and
bitter discussion and the moderator finally
