Honolulu, T. H, July 10, 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: In connection with the various
discussions in regard to the sinking
Of the English passenger steamer
Lusitania. allow me to remark that a
statement was made by Germany that
this passenger steamer was an auxil-
iary cruiser. which statement. so
remember. has been contradicted on
many occasions.
In the November Issue Of the Am
erican Magazine, published by Charles
Scribner's Sons of New York, I read
on page SIS under the heading, The
Germans in Brussels:
But when, on the third day, we
came on deck the news was writ
! ten against the sky. Swinging
from the tunnels, sailors were
painting out the scarlet and black
colors Of the Cnnard line and sub
stitnting q mouse-lilze gray. Over
night we had passed into the
hands Of the admiralty, and the
Lusitania had emerged cruiser.
This remark was made by our great
American. Mr., Richard Harding Davis.
Yours very truly.

GETTING THE TOURISTS ATTENTION.

Director general Cooper's, plan to visit the
mainland soon in the interest of transportation
and publicity for the 1916 Mid Pacific Carnival
is wise move. If transportation to Hawaii
during the Carnival season can be developed
and specialized, it will certainly aid in getting
more tourists here. The trip of the director
general to the Coast cities and further east will
result in much desirable newspaper publicity.
As an indication of the proftableness of the
e tourist trade, Secretary Lane of the interior
department recently estimated that American
tourists will spend about $100,000,0O0 this
summer and fall in seeing America that
sum,being expended in the United States where
ordinarily it would have gone to Europe. 1.-The
warts inducing Americans to spend their vaca-
ton money at home. The whole country is the
gamer, says Secretary Lane
Hawaii the Isles of Peace" offers. the;
American tourists unequalled opportunities.
Anything that will help turn the attention of
the hundreds of thousands of Americal travel
ers to these islands is bound to promote the
tourist traffic.

Germany IS expression of regret to the United
States at the torpedoing of the American
Hawaiian freighter Nebraskan should afford
considerable encouragement to those who
firmly hope for peaceful solution of the grave
issue that has arisen between Germany and the
United States. It appears that Berlin might
have claimed the Nebraskan was not immune
from. attack, because under charter to the bel
ligerents Though the steamer was in. ballast
when struck) but Herr yons Jagow, the foreign
secretary takes refuge in no such assertion in
his note of regret. Germany, it seems plain,
has MOI desire to commit an unfriendly act
knowingl even though there have not been
lacking those who said that the Nebraskan at
tack was deliberately directed against q. s..
friendship. Certainly the apology and offer to
make reparation because of the mistake of the
submarine captain indicates that Berlin desires
