TOO MANY DEADLY WEAPONS.

On September % the Star Bulletin, calling
Intention to violent crime In Hawaii, proposed
rigid city regulation regarding the purchase
md registration Of deadly weapons. The sng-
|estion was made after casual inquiry at the
I'ty hall showed there is no adequate super
|ision of such purchases. Editorially this
paper said

Stores which deal in knives and firearms will

and if it was issued without permit, the seller
thopld be prosecuted
We are glad to see that Mayor Lane has now
reached apparently the same conclusion as to
The necessity of checking the distribution of
dangerous weapons in the community. He has
directed an inquiry to the city attorney s Office
with the object of having prepared an ordi-

that prices may be brought down within reach
of the poorer classes. S = -. 6
The advance in prices in Norway is approx
mately the same as in Sweden. but in some
cases it has been even more marked. Herring,
which is one of the main articles Of diet among
the peasant population. have risen from two to
four and a half and five cents apiece, and the
present price of oatmeal is $50 per cent higher
than it was before the war
The meat shortage was temporarily relieved
some time ago, as it was in Sweden, by the
slaughter of large number of cattle which
there was not enough grain to feed, but prices
have now advanced again, reaching the high
est level ever known in Norway. It's curious
paradox, however, that as "a nation Norway S
economic condition is better than before the
war. Norway Is tremendous exports at the
same time they have drained the country of its
necessary provisions for home consumption
and carried masses Of the people to the verge
of starvation, have brought a tremendous
amount of money into the country, enabled the
country to pay all its imports, and left large
surplus to be used for industrial purposes and
public loans.
The Bank Of Norway the governments
bank had year ago twenty million dollars
Of gold in its vaults Today it has forty mil
lions. a year ago il had issued paper money
to the extent Of five and a half million beyond
its deposits, while today with the same amount
of paper currency in circulation, it has a re-
serve of three million dollars.
Deposits in private banks are at present
thirty million dollars greater than they were
year ago on the same date. These banks had
to their credit in foreign banks $7O0,O 900 last
year. This year they have ten millions The
war has brought Norway ., food tide of pros
perity, and if government action is taken to re-
dnce present prices and provide the poorer
people with food, Norway will have little to
lose and great deal to gain from long war.
Norway s friendship for England and the
fact that she has had less 10 complain Of in the
restriction of imports than Sweden, have made
her trade question much less serious one than
in her sister country. Her chief grievance
against Britain remains the English censor
ship Of her mail and cablegrans to America
and other neutral countries. Norway is still
trying to devise a more direct and speedier
communication with America. IS

NEWPORT. n. l., May 22-Another
mishap to the submarine notilla play
ing the war game of the Atlantic Fleet
was reported tonight, when word
reached Newport that a submarine was
aground on the east side OF No Mans
Land. The tender Fulton was standing
by. The submarine struck during n
dense fog in a heavy southwest wind
and rough sea.
The condition of the submarine was
not known. No Mans Land is rocky
islet eight miles south of Gay Head.
SO far as can he learned here. no call
Tor help has been sent out by the ten
der Fulton. and this is taken TO ndi-
cate that the submarine is no, in
critical position. An carly report that
II was the k-6 which was aground
could not be verified.
Since the Atlantic Fleet began it's

broken crankshaft, while the k-l is

A message stating that the stranded
submarine was the KS. and that her
plight was due to a heavy fog was
received tonight from the Fulton.

the submarine ashore on a sandy shelf,

that II will be friendly in tone.
The German answer is expected to

Until then the situation as between
the United States and Great Br!tain's
alleged violations OF international law
in connection with the British order
in council will not he developed by
officials here. After tho German note
is received, it is practically certain
representations on the general subject
of the commercial embargo imposed by

will be made.
There is no tendency among officials
hero to underestimate the seriousness
of tho situation which may result in
the event of an unfavorablc reply from
Berlin. On this point in particular IL
is known tho Washington government
Will insist on complete disavowal OF
intent to destroy American lives, and
with full rcparation for damage done.
If tho German reply should cover this
point satisfactorily. il is felt that ar
ranEcmcnts for the future safcgua rd-
ing of American citizens can then be
arranged through further diplomats ic
correspondence. for it is said the Ger
man reply will suggest arrangements
