FLYING NEUTRAL FLAGS.

Al South Dakota congressman is achieving
brief fame through the introduction OF a bill
penalizing foreign ships whatever that
may mean which make use of the American
Gag for purposes of deception The tele-
traphic dispatches do not say how the South
Dakota statesman is going to penalize them and
probably he does not know himself The use
81 neutral flags by belligerents is SO frequent
that 1t borders on accepted customs. Il is IT

danger them, but no way has yet been proposed

Honolulu, T. H., Feb. 3, 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: The new idea for the military
parade, published in yesterdays let
ter Is o. K. The writer, who signed
himself @Tipperary, suggests that
at least one company of infantry
should march with fixed bayonets and
sing the famous British war song. It
would give us a good idea of the Brit
ish marching, singing this song.
To be absolutely fair and strictly
neutral, troop Of cavalry with poised
lances should rival the footsoldiers
with the equally inspiring air,
Deutschland, Deutschland Ueber
Allies.
This would give us similar idea of
German cavalrymen riding, while sing
ing their famous song. and--a few
jack-asses might be. induced to bray
Justify, to drown both airs, until the
present deplorable war Is over.
Yours very truly

eERMAN SCHOOLS coNT1NuE.

War has made very little change in the aspect
of the 80 public schools of Berlin, which CON
time their educational work without Interrupt
ton. OF the 5000 men teachers large percent
age was called to the colors and of them over
100 have been killed or have died of their
wounds. Their places in the schools have been
taken for the most part by temporary substi-
tutes, many of them women, but in some cases
it has been necessary to combine classes.
The high schools and the university have
been more severely affected, as 1900 university
students were of military age and many high
school boys enlisted as volunteers. The total
number Of students entered at the university
for the current winter term was $685. instead
of over 10000 as in times of peace. Women
students number 900, about the same figure
as usual.

Curtis Guild, formerly governor Of Massa-

eonnnon-sense IN the following comment On the
wars
The attitude Of the United States must and

opinion, does not consist in attacking one bel
igerent and defending the other. You will not
blame me, Of course, for warm affection for
country where I have been treated with tht

as witness to the courtesy and magnanimity
