Jurors
Cannot
Decide

Just before noon today the
jury which is trying to decide
the guilt or innocence of Mrs.
Bertha Diffley, charged with muir
der of little Clarence Hall, sent
a sealed note to Judge Card. He
opened II and read, but made no
comment.
Indignation was aroused In the
prosecutors office this morning
when II was learned that the
postman, making the rounds OF
the court house, had slipped a
newspaper under the jury room
door. The postman declared 1t
was a country paper which prob
ably contained no comment on
the case at issue.
No indication as to the verdict
could be gained from scrutiny of
jurors faces as they returned
from breakfast. When they went
into chambers, Robert II. earns,
the 18th juror. his coat and vest
removed, could be seen seated
with his feet stretched across the
top of Judge Clifford's bench,
reading the courts instructions.
The jury is using Judge Cliff
ford's court room for its deliber-
ations.
Members OF the prosecuting at
torney's staff openly admitted to-
day that they expected a dis
agreed jury.

A Tip for Willy John Rea

have resigned In the last two days because the
regents dismissed four other instructors, APP
parently for no legitimate cause. OF $50 stu
dents who expected to return next fall, 80 only
say they will be back IL the designations are
accepted.
For the benefit of John Rea, Tacoma menu
err of the board of regents of this states uni
versity, The Times makes free to predict that
the Utah insurrection will be as a mere Piute
uprising compared to the European conflict If
he attempts to carry out at the U. Of w. a
course of action he is credited with sponsoring.
When the late notorious legislature passed
the appropriation bill for which the regents
had pleaded, II was openly stated on the floor,
and has not been publicly denied, that a prom

KING ALBERT's BOOK:

King Albert of Belgium is 40 years old today.
1t IS somewhat of a.coincidence that the Star
Bulletin has just received from London per
haps the most remarkable volume out of all the
hundreds published on the present war. 1t is
:. King Albert s Book an unique and eloquent
tribute to the gallant Belgian who preferred to
see his countryiin smoking ruins and himself
an outlaw rather than submit to what he de-
clared was a violation of Belgian neutrality.
King Albert's Book is not dry collection of
diplomatic messages dealing in involved and
subtle terms with the European crisis 1t is a
collection of individual and personal tributes
to the'young ruler now fighting in his last re-
manning corner of Belgium. There is fore
word DIV Asquith, an introduction by Hall
Game. And the pages contain scores of bits of
prose Or poetry to or dealing with King Albert
and unhappy Belgium. It is finely illustrated
with reproductions of paintings, cartoons and

THE TERRITORY'S SHARE IN PROMO
TON

Promotion worl; in Hawaii Ina, reached a
point where it would be foolish TO crippI" it
by inad"quat" appropriations.
Indeed, if any chang" is to be mad" by the
legislature in the amount the territory con
tributes to III" committee the sum should be
increased, particularly as there is a very
definite sentiment on the other islands in favor
Of a larger committee and on" more represent
alive Of all the territory.
With this sentiment Tn" Star Bulletin is
much in sympathy. The Promotion Commit
tee in the past has done it's BEST this paper
feels, to represent all the islands and there has
never been submitted any evidence that the
committee Disseminated against any island.
The charges of "knOckiHg' laid against Homo
lulu by ItilO people were laid against indlvd-
uaS and private interests here not against the
Promotion Committee.
But growth and expansion is the logical ont
come of healthy progress for promotion work
in Hawaii. From all over the territory arises
the demand for ''home promotion by that
term meaning the development of Hawaii s at
fractions to make them more available for tour
lists, and more and better organized entertain
ment for tourists after they are brought here
by the advertising done abroad.
At least two factors must aid in this "hOme
promotion more funds and more personal
work on behalf of the various islands.
The $4,000 proposed in the senate amend
ment will be little enough for the territory's
share if this larger plan of "home promotion"
is to be carried out.
If the expansion of the Promotion Commit
tee to nine-the four new members to represent
Oahu, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai-will stimulate
general interest in promotion work; if it will
impress on all the islands the value Of team
pulling in island advertising; if it will satisfy
the individual islands that they are getting at
tention-then let s have the larger committee.
The Star-B Bulletin does not believe the expert
ment will do any harm, even if it fails; and we
do not expect it to fail unless the committee
men themselves fail to measure up to their OPP
portunities.
But it must be borne in mind that this new
scheme means expansion of promotion actlvl-
ties and that is going to cost money. Eighteen
dollars would be better than $4,000
as the territory's share.

IS THE Spring CAMPAIGN" ON?

Frances sudden offensive move along the
western batteline from the Meusc to the Mo-
sellp bears every indication that tn" much
heralded "spring attack" Of tn" Allies has
& been launched.
+. Lord Kitchener, in an HnfOrgettabIe phrase,
said that he did not know when the war wOuld
end hut chat it would start in May. Interpret
ing this to mean that the Allies in May would
begin an inceSsant hammering at the German
positions with all their strength, it appears that
the eastern end Of the long line from Dover
straits TO the Swiss border is the first to be
tested
An American correspondent, writing from
Netherlands on March IL, predicted that the
French would begin their real offensive on
! April IS 1t has begun sooner than he expected
or than the majority of American critics have
prophesied.
According to reports from French sources
which bear more than the usual marks Of all
thority, the British and the French each have
created entirely new armies to throw against
the long maintained German lines. This new
British army is not surprise. The recruiting,
the training of the recruits and even their
transportation across the channel have been
matters of news that escaped the blue pencil OF
the censors. But it is rather a surprise to hear
that France has not only kept more than mil
lion men on the front but has raised 100000
new soldiers and groomed them for combat
Five hundred thousand of this new French
army were secured from the 1914 class recruits.
The other 100000 came from the French colo
MES. The American correspondent already re-
ferredt4o writes that they were secured as fol-

One of the things to be said in favor Of mill
tary education in Hawaii is that it will impress
on the minds of some otherwise intelligent
folks the fact that this is American territory.
