i this society, OF whom Miss Cayell was
the head. for their escape out of Bel
/ GUM When such conditions prevail
under the very eyes OF the authori-
ties then there Is only one remedy and
| that is to exact the law TO the fullest
extreme II government omits TO
take the same actions under these cir.
camstances. then il neglects its ele-
mentary duties TO the army and its
security: these duties in war time are
OF more importance than any others.
rAll those who were prosecuted
were quite aware OF the seriousness
OF the offense The court was most
particular on this point. Some Of the
defendants were acquitted because
the court was in doubt as to their
full knowledge OF the seriousness OF
the case.
The German government had post
ed numerous notices all over Belgium,
giving the population full warning
that il any person Is caught giving
the enemy any assistance the same
will suffer the heaviest penalty, even
the penalty Of death.
Il will admit that the motive OF
the offense was q noble one and that
the same has been done for the love
of the country. But in time Of war
one must be willing TO sacrifice their
blood for the love Of their country,
whether this happens on the battle
field or under the same circumstances
as stated above.
Amongst the Russian prisoners in
Germany many women were found in
soldiers uniform. Now supposing
these women were killed on the battle
field, would anybody have made hue
and cry about killing these women?
Why, no. Miss Cayell faced the same
dangers as her comrades did on the
battlefields.
THE weakness Of the enemies ar.
gument points out that they do not
question the just verdict of the court
but to stir up the public opinions by
untruthful reports of the execution OF
Miss Cavell 1t was stated that the
soldiers at first refused to shoot, but
later they shot so bad as to miss her.
Then an officer went up to her and
shot her several times in the head
with his revolver
This is an absolute falsehood. L
have the official report in my pos
session. The execution passed off
strictly according to the standing rules
CT the law. After the first salvo was
fired the doctor declared the unhappy
woman as dead
The above Is true translation OF
the Cayell case as stated by DR.. ZinI-
mermann and j would certainly be
very much obliged to You If you will
kindly give this space in your yalua-
Bile paper.
Thanking you in advance for the
favor,

Witness after witness called by the grand
jury has told Of conditions at the county jail
which constitute scandal conditions of lax
ity, incompetence Of administration and no
torions privileges TO the McGrath- Bower
Boggs-Scully gang.
Ii is trne that the majority of these wit
ncsses were inmates Of the Jail at the period
they tell about; that they we're there for. vie
Iating tho law Therefore To- some persons
their stories should be utterly discredited.
Discount their stories as much as possible;
allow Tor cxaggeration, for spite against the
jailers, for desire to get even with the men who
pnt them in jail make all these allowances
there yet remains statement which proves
something radically wrong in the county Jail
administration when AleGrath escaped.
II IS simply impossible for mon such as those
who have testified to fabricate their stories, to
give them in such wealth Of detaiL and then
10 have these stories ,corroborate each other in
essential detail 1t is simply impossible that
these stories could be made to fit so nicely with
known facts concerning the McGrath escape,
were there not basis for truth in them.
TO say that the witnesses are jailbirds is no
answer, no denial, no explanation sof the
charges. From whom but men in the Jail could
the revelations come. Not from bankers,
church deacons, sugar planters, or nerchantsl

WHAT SHALL THE LEAGUE Doa


What Shall the League Do THIS Years is
The question to be propounded st the annual
meeting of the Mems League of Central Union
Church next Tuesday evening"
The league is force, through good citizen

energetic and wideawake citizens. And there
Is plenty for it to do in the way Of constructive
work.
Someone has proposed that an attack on the
social evil in Honolulu be considered Com
mcrcialized vice, bulwarked in Iwilei, is grow
ing ia proportions scarcely realized except by
police prosecuting and jail officials, physi-
clans, ministers and social workers-in short,
those whose business brings them in direct
contact with the victims of the wetched system
Of vice bought and paid for. 5
The problem of criminal lawlessness might
also engage some attention. Life and property
Uncertain districts are anything but safe. In
Manoa and at Waikiki burglars are plying
their calling industriously and with audacious
.boldness and with disgraceful frequency. The
ioy.rides which imperil safety and the joy
riders who laugh at the laws continue in spite
of three years of almost incessant agitation on
the part of public organizations and the press.
Criminals are treated like privileged eharac-
tiers, once they are sent to JAIL and their escape
from jail is made easy. Policemen engage in
drunken brawls; discipline in the police force
is at the lowest ebb; the men who should be
guarding the safety and security OF the city
give woeful exhibition of laxity.
These are two of the dark pictures: There
are brighter ones in whose painting the league
might assist. There are fine ones in whose

THE BURDEN.

The grave and measured statement in the
House of Commons by the financial secretary
| Of the treasury that Englishmen must be pre-
Ipared to surrender to the government no less
than half Of their incomes either as tax or
loan, must make the people Of England ponder
deeply on the cost Of war says the San Fran
Icisco Examiner.
What this war will cost, not only those en-
gagged in it but their posterity for generations
to come is strikingly shown by Secretary
Montagu's statement There is no reason to
believe that it will bear more cruelty upon
British taxpayers than upon those Of other ma
|tionalities. Great Britain is largely financing
her allies but their debt to her willhaye to be
paid by them in time of peace. Germany is
spending no less money than other belligerents
land although thus far her war debt has been
incurred mainly with her own people, it will
have 10 be paid with interest. Whether in
form of direct or indirect taxes, the prophecy
that half of all European incomes will for long
time to come be taken by the state is probably.

FAMOUS FRENCH MINE FOUND
 IN NEW MEXICO.
Located In the Highest Peaks of Truchas After Years of
 Searchings

Santa Fe, Sept. 21 - After IS years of persistent search the famous lost French mine has been located on the flank of the Truchas peaks, the highest peaks in New Mexico, 30 miles north of Santa Fe. In 1875, three Frenchmen would ride into Mora and Las Vegas at regular intervals, with thousands of dollars worth of gold which it was evident they did not get from placers but was the product of some crude arrastra They discour- aged inquiry as to the locality of their mine with their six shooters.
 One of the trio died of mountain fever and the survivors fought duel over the division of the brothers property, both falling dead at the same moment from each others bull lets. Some 13 years ago a demented sheep herder brought to the camp of Colorado miners on the Hamilton
 
 mesa, a miners hammer which he said he had found in a tunnel way up on the flank of the Truchas, almost at timber line The Colorado men since have been searching for the mine and were rewarded this sum- mer in finding the shaft, which is filled with. water, and the tunnel in which they found an old ore car made entirely of wood and still in good preservation. One of their number yesterday consulted with Assistant Attorney General Harry s. Clancy re- garding the New Mexico mining laws and how to go about incorporating a company to work the property.

that it will be settled once and for all and in order to arrive at final decision the issues involved should be squarely drawn and fairly met to the end that there will be no 'dfs" and lands" to disturb conditions in the future and that the industrial life of the community may be resumed with good will and satisfaction on both sides, both employees and mine managers fully cognizant of the posi- ton of the other.
 Happily, so far, no bitter feeling has been engendered on either side.
 ynd it is the duty of the leaders of both sides, as well as all good citizens to encourage an amicable adjustment of the unfortunate controversy.

cHILDRENs EYES AND GLASSES.

AND GLASSES.
 The eye is the organ that gives us thesense of sight, and makes it pos sible for us to enjoy the beautiful. Without 1t man is placed at great disadvantage; and yet many men whc would leave no stone unturned to save the eyes of horse, will let their children go through childhood or pos sibly through life, with diseased or deforped eyes and do little or nothing for them. They could barter the horse for more dollars if the eyes were per feet, but they can not see far enough into the future, to realize that the child would have a greater earning power when grown if his or her eyes were perfect, or as near perfect as possible. =.
 Children should not be allowed to enter school before six years of age, nor should the child be allowed to look much at pictures, blocks or any thing requiring close vision for long at time, as fusion of the vision does not take place until about the age of six, and for that reason children of four or five years of age should not be sent to the kindergarten, as close application of the eyes at this ago causes more near sighted people than any other factor. Children are apt to form the habit of holding their books close to the eyes while studying; this causes a strain of the muscles of the eyes both within and on the outside of the eyeball, which is another cause for near sightedness and is cause of cross-eyes.
 We .often have .astignatism in chil- dren, and, in order to see, they must 
 hold the book close, and squint the eyelids; another cause for cross-eyes. We occasionally see a child that is exceedingly far-sighted, and who to see properly, requires a lens even stronger than does the average per son at sixty years of ago.
 Poor vision often accounts for the nervous condition, SO often found in children, headaches and so-called grow ing pains Errors in vision frequently cause cross-eyes and if child begins to show symptoms of cross-eyes, no matter how young, the eyes should be properly tested, and if necessary treated, as such conditions usually in crease, and after they have reached the stage where one eye only is used the other eyes loses it's vision to 8 greater or less degree.
 If child needs glasses they should be worn, but cheap stores and ped dlers should be avoided. Reputable eye specialists should be consulted, fol there are many children and young persons wearing glasses today who do not need them, and many. are wearing incorrect and injurious glasses.
