PEACE ELEMENT
IN GERMANY.

1t has been suggested at times dur
ing the past few months that many
people in Germany are firing OF hos
tilities, although the war party has
ever been ready to ridicule any ru-
mors to the effect that a peace party
existed in the kaiser's realms. Dur
ing the enthusiasm of the nation
eight or nine months ago, when GER
tain victory was assured by the
Kaiser ard his warlike hordes. 1t
was but natural for those who did
not favor war to keep in the shade,
but now that it: has been shown that
German soldiers are in no way SUI
perior to those of other nations and
that the Fatherland is being sub
iccted to a fearful drain by existing
conditions, those who deprecated
launching the country into war are
becoming more outspoken, and their
views are being openly expressed in
the Prussian Chamber of Deputies.
The debate in that body Thursday
showed the attitude of the German
people toward peace and was discuss
ed by progressive and socialist men,
berS.
DR.. Karl Liebknecht, one Of the So
cialist leaders, and q champion OF
peace. said: owe have the masses
with us, and the masses want peace,
Herr Braun, socialist. referred to
the fact that certain persons are talk
ing about continuing the war IN
order to realize "wild plans of annex
alton" He said great majority OF
the German people wish imperatively
that no. opportunity for securing an
early peace be lost, but they en-
phaticaly reject annexation plans OF
all kinds. particularly such as have
been advocated by one German ruler.
"The German people want no con-
quests" Herr Braun declared. "They
want no lamentations. They do want
peace without bringing humiliation
or subsection to other peoples"
P. w. Massingham, editor of the
Nation, of London, has come to t'ae
conclusion that there are real pros
poets for peace and that there Is a
distinct change in the tone of Ger
man sentiment, and he eNpounds this
point of view in this weeks issue of
his periodical.
Herr Tepperlaski, a rich German
sportsman connected with some MEM
bers of the government, recently
wrote two letters to the Deutscher
Sportsman, attacking the policy Of
reprisals
a new bund presses for democratic
control of ornaments and diplomacy
in Germany. This, with more def
mite statement Of policy, Is also the
line of the social democrats. who crTs-
tallize on reputation of anneXa-
ton, either of northern France on
Belgium. and declare for the interna-
tional limitation of ornaments.
There is bigger volume of indie
pendent thought in Germany than the
tone of the government-led forces
would lead one to suppose. But the
more silent party seems to grow in
strength so much so that, in spite Of
his violent opposition to the war, it
is thought that if Dr. Karl Liebknecht
came up for reelection just now he
would easily be returned.

MAYIARE GRAND
JURY some TINE
TO MAKE PROBES
Investigation of Jail Scandal
Likely 10 Lead Into Numer-.
GUS Ramifioati0ns

The territorial grand jury met at
O'Clock today IN the Judiciary building
with the prospect OF beginning probe
OF, the stories told by ex-prisoners OF
the county jail as to conditions there
at the time Jack McGrath escaped on
the eve Of being sentenced for second
degree robbery.
City and County Attorney Brown,
while declining to- discuss the details
which will be brought before the jur,
ors, indicates that the investigation
may take several sessions, as it has
numerous ramifications to be delved
into.
Three witnesses were In readiness
this morning to go before the jurors
if called. Two of them are Fred
Cough, who has stated that he opened
the jail gate to allow McGrath to es-
cape on the night of October 30, and
&c 0rge Wilcott, fellow-prisoner at
the time. Coughs story has been
given in the Star Bulletin. He says
that the gate was opened while he
was under the belief that McGrath
was merely going out on one of the
frequent forays which were allowed
by lax Jail officials.
The third witness, whose name has
not been given out, is understood to
have been prisoner at the Jail also
during much of the period of which
Cough and Wilcott tell.
The papers in the divorce suit which
has been brought against McGrath,
fugitive from Justice and pal of John
T. Scully, Paul Boggs and George A.
('Bert') Bower, which are said to
have been returned to Honolulu in
the steamer which brought Deputy
Sheriff julius Asch from the main
land on Tuesday, after alleged service
on McGrath in San Francisco. had not
yet been filed in the local circuit
court this morning.
Attorney Leon NJ Straus, who is
counsel for Mrs. McGrath, was quote d
two mornings ago as saying that the
divorce papers we're served personal
ly on McGrath in San francisco, and
that the pspers had been returned tc
Honolulu.
81 don't know anything about them, !"
said Straus, when asked by the Star
Iulletin if he had the papers or knew
where they were.
Straus was asked whether the pa
pers we're served on McGrath in per.
son, and whether he had signed them.
Straus said he had nothing to say.
Il would have no statement to make
even if / did have the papers" he ad.

Rumor Rife as to Possible APP
pointment to Federal Posi-
ton in Honolulu

Rumors are afioat about federal and
municipal halls today that Palmer p.
Woods, marriage license agent In the
county building. is in line for appoint.
ment to a federal position. The ru-
NOR was given life in the announce.
ment that Woods has Just received a
letter from Byron r. Newton, first as.
sistant to Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo, who met Woods during his
recent visit to Honolulu.
Strength is given to the rumor in
the fact as understood that the fed.
eral administration favors the appoint.
ment of Hawaiians to local federal Of
fees when they have proved them
selves worthy of office.
Whether this letter has anything to
do with any promise to position, or
whether it is merely the letter of a
friend who wishes to keep up an ac'
quaintance, Woods declines to say. He
merely laughs when the question is
put to him, and says, "Of course |
don't get letters every day from the
big men at washington, and so ii
means quite bit to me" -.
AS to promises he laughs again and
shakes his head. 81 have whole bask-
etsful of promises downstairs. he
says, "but what do they amount to?''
Woods goes on to explain that he

PROMOTION WORK
IS OUTLINED TO
ROTARY CLUBMEN

Insurance men from all over the
world are turning their eyes to Ha-
waii for future visits, according to
Zeno K. Myers, manager of the Home
Insurance Company Mr.. Myers, who
has just returned from California. was
one of the speakers at the Rotary
Club luncheon today. Having attend
ed the sessions of the Worlds Insur-
-ance Congress held under the aus
pices of the San Francisco exposition,
he had unequaled opportunities to
meet insurance men from all parts of
the world and in all branches of the
business, and he said that without an
exception those he met were anxious
to come here and many are planning
to do so.
There is no question that Hawaii
is being splendidly advertised and that
in insurance circles, which particu-
larly happen to know, the islands are
known in the most attractive way"
he said. Mr.. Myers is chairman of
the promotion committee of the In.
surance Club Of this city and has
done much good work in the pro-
motion line among insurance men
abroad. s.<
A. p. Taylor, director of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee. was the other
speaker today. He told the Rotarians
that promotion work is business
proposition and that boosting Hawaii
is natural because just telling the
truth about the islands is boost to
prospective tourists. He also told OF
his trip to the Northwest on which
he leaves next week.
The Rotary Clubs membership is
steadily broadening and every seat at
the big table was filed today. Presi-
dent Paxson commented on the broad
ening of membership and also told OF
promotion work being done for the ISL
ands through the sending out of nearly
700 letters, with the aid of Director
Taylor's organization, to Rotary Club
presidents and secretaries elsewhere.
