coURTEoUs-BUT FINAL.

The new American note to German is sharp
not in wording but in substance Its tone is
marked by the same scrupulous courtesy that
has marked all OF the vital state papers since
the war began, and particularly since the presi-
dents ascetic consciousness has been com
bined with Mr.. Lansing's technical knowledge
and Judgment of legal issues. But in substance
the note is portentous. 1t has the finality Of an
nltimatum without an ultimatum's threat.
Germany may hold lightly American retalia-
ton, measured by the standards of militarism,
bnf considerable body of German public opin-
ion IS against steps that will lead to an open
breach. Admiral Truppel voiced this opinion
recently He points out that break with the
United States would be much more serious
than many of his countrymen suppose
In the light of the latest American note, the
american people may logically expect that if
mother Lnsitania or Gulflight incident occurs
the United States will call upon Germany for
1n Immediate disavowal of responsibility, fail
he to secure which the administration will
take steps for retribution.

1 Sir: In an interview rs published
in your issue OF Thursday last. an
official of the Inter.Isiand is reported
to have stated that If the company
should insist on total abstinence on
the part of its sailors, there would be
meme to operate the steamers and we
would have to close up shop" This
is certainly a sad reflection upon the
men who follow the sea and the won.
der is that they would stand for such
sllr. Not many of them are known
to the writer, but among those who
are is number OF good fellows who
never touch drop, living honest re
spectacle lives on lowly wage.
In regard 10 the bars maintained on
the passenger boats, Il is a question
as to whether the public really de-
mands them or no. and IL abolished.
would the travel be seriously affected.
The day has come when there Is less
and less drinking of social nature
and since the distances covered by
these Inter-Island boats only consume
few hours at most. II is question II
the general public would ever miss
the privilege and certainly there would
be little complaint II the thing were
abolished.
The supreme court of the territory
has decided that the possession of a
federal license is prima facie evidence
OF the violation of the liquor law Git
there be no regular licensel and while

are operated in the open seas. on fedt
eral permits alone. outside Of the three
mile limit, yet the practise bears on
its very face violation of the spirit,
CT the law, even though the three-mile
limit is strictly adhered to. which is
doubtful at best, at times at least.
The official also states that mo
member of the crew is allowed near
these bars, much less to go in and
get drink. If we caught a sailor
getting booze in the buffet, the stew.
ard. first officer and captain would
probably be discharged Immediately.
This is rich. Oh! consistency. thou
art a jewel, Why should the officers
be such privileged class. Does not
the safety of the passengers depend
more largely upon their sane, clean.
quick Judgment than upon the crew
who obey orders. And If the railroads
insist on the total abstinence of their
employees for the safety Of the travel
ing public why in the world should
not the steamship companies see their
way clear to fall in line? If they do
not so of their own accord the day
draws apace when public opinion will
demand it.
Yours sincerely.

ship were described. Personal letters have
been sent to more than fifteen hundred judges
Of federal and state courts having jurisdiction
over naturalization, urging that the ceremony
of administering the oath of allegiance be
made solemn and impressive one. 1t is sug-

upon the Importance of the act of transferring
allegiance from one nation to another and the
obligations which accompany it.

Wilson addressed several thousand recently

AMPLE SURFACE WATER ON
OAHU.

Honolulu, hawaii, July "a, 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: In your issue of yesterday,
July %, appeared an interview and an
editorial in which you quoted the
writer as stating that there was ample
surface water available In the imme-
date vicinity of Honolulu to supply
all its needs for the next fifty years.
believe this part of my interview
to be in error. What ! intended to
state was that there was ample sur
face water available on 0ahu-mean.
ing particularly the waters Of the up
per Punaluu valley on the windward
side of the island which are now large
" going to waste and which are for
sale.
On March IL, 1915, | recommended
to the governor that special inves-
tigation be made as to the feasibility
of bringing this water, amounting to
about ten million gallons per day, to
Honolulu via the Waiahole tunnel.
lam of the opinion that the surface
and spring waters of Kalihi and Ma
noa, now used principally for taro
and rice irrigation, as well as the
small amount of water of the Nuuanu
valley now not being diverted into
the water works system should also be
utilized, but doubt il these surface
waters in the Honolulu basin alone
are sufficient, in addition to the pres
ent supply, to supply the needs of the
city until the Waiahole water become
available.
The agreement made between the
Territory of Hawaii and the Waiahole
Water Company specifies that the
Territory may take the following
amounts of water from the Waiahole
valley via the Waiahole tunnel under
certain conditions of payment,
for public purposes only, with
corresponding reduction of rental
etc.
/. After 80 years-four million gal
Ions per "a hours.
2. After 40 years-six million gal

HARD TO sTARvE THE rEuToNs.

Starving the Teutons out is process
much easier to talk about than to accomplish,
for the Germans and the Austrians have or
ganized their production and distribution until
waste is eliminated and moderation of con-
sumption enforced.
Associated Press advices from Vienna say
that although Austria has no fear of an insult
fcient harvest and although conditions even
now are improving to such an extent that the
notably bad bread is being bettered, plans are
already being considered for confiscating the
1915 harvest of wheat of various kinds to avoid
high prices superinduced by speculation.
1t is proposed to create, from the present war
-four control commission, state organization,
into whose hands the entire confscated crop
would be delivered and whose members would
divide the -four evenly and equally. The farm
ers are not at all averse to the cenfscation of
tile crop and the establishment Of uniform
price for their product, but they oppose the
central organization plan, and prefer that the
-four. pass into the control of the district com
missions 1t is only the members of the pro-
duce associations and bourses who oppose the
confscation and uniform price ideas.
Even though maximum prices were estab-
lfshed by the government this year, they have
been disregarded by the spectators, vino have
paid go kronen for -four that was supposed to
sell for 1850. How the speculation has worked
out is shown in the case Of lentils and beans
which had no maximum price and which today
cost ITO heller as against % to 40 heller after
