Capt. Lincoln
Wins Aquatic
Golf Contest

Because Capt. C. s. Lincoln develop
ed his trudgeon stroke to perfection
yesterday afternoon, the other contest
ants in the race for the presidents
trophy at the Golf Club were outdis-
tanced. The course was in poor con-
dition for golf and was not quite damp
enough for swimming and the fact
that the upper course was like sea,
made low scoring impossible except
for Capt Lincoln, who took to the
water like a duck.
Capt Lincoln battled with the white
pellet and j. Pluvius and when he had
rounded the 36th buoy he had made a
score OF 1856, which Is quite q marine
record. In his first Is he annexed an
so, which WAS remarkable golf for the
was second with a score that will
never be known Rounding the third
buoy In the last round he made the
buoy in an easy IL and in his excite
ment the card was lost and floated
away on the tide.
Maj. T. N. Horn and Lieut. col. A.
Campbell showed a poor knowledge OF
aquatics and consequently their scores
were high. Poor diving on the part
of Mr.. Boekus lost him chance to
win. He made the remarkable low
score of 81 for the ninth and tenth
holes showing that he was strictly up
to form. but the fact that his mid
iron went to the bottom and could not
be recovered, practically lost him the
match according to the critics at the
18th hole.
Honolulu officers proved to be the
best mudders In the contest with the
Schofield contingent at the Oahu Coun-
try Club on Saturday, and the octette
from the city won out by score OF
l3 to s. The results of Saturdays

Thib was settled yesterday when
Chaplain Ignatius Fealy received q

clusion of the contest Chaplain Fealy,
who has no intention of evading the
law in this way, Immediately scratch.

willing candidates. As 1t is he will
have to disappoint great many who
have begged for an opportunity to put

the 1O-round go between Potts and
Williams on October 8 and the Is
rounds on Thanksgiving Day were two

Good Bouts Planned.
In spite OF this setback Chaplain
Fealy guarantees a rafting good en-
tertainment on January 1, and big Bob
Freshman of G Troop, 4th Cavalry, is
to go on with Williams In Potts place
for at least 10 rounds. Fleishman
ranks next to Rufus in popularity at
Schofield and has received a big ova-
ton every time he has stepped into
the ring. He has for long time been
itching to match up with Williams.
Rufus Williams stated last night
that he was not surprised that Potts
desired to cancel the engagement, as
he had gained Q wholesome regard for
the battering ram attached to his left
shoulder. He is willing to meet Potts
for any number Of rounds and under
any conditions that will comply with
the law. Chaplain Fealy has furnished
punching bags, gloves, shoes and other
equipment to those who take part in
the boxing entertainments, and has
paid all legitimate training expenses,
but not one cent for purses. Those
who have come up from Fort Shafter
have received In addition automobile
transportation for themselves, their
seconds and their friends.
I'VE have got to comply strictly
with the law" said Chaplain Fealy,
otherwise we will have to give up
these most popular entertainments,

ring for four or more rounds, just for
the sport in the game and for the
pleasure they give their many friends

The War Situation.

The great European war is in one
of its most uncertain and anxious per
iods. Bulgaria has Joined the Ger
man and Austrian forces in an effort
to crush Servia, giving the Russians
England and France a stronger zoe
to fight in a section where they were
already losing ground. The attack in
the Dardenelles appears to be a com
plete failure, but the Allies have
considerable force of armies and ships
tied up there that they do not know
how to remove in safety. In this re-
spect Turkey is proving a mucn
stronger aid to the Teutonic armies
than Italy is to the Allies. Italy has
declared war against Bulgaria but its
fighting to date has been confined to
Austria. The Allies want the aid of
Greece but that country has not deh-
nitely announced what it would do. 1t
is stated upon competent authority
that England has offered Greece the
Island of Cyprus in case it will enter
the war with the Allies. The Allies
mania but have not done so. This
leaves the Allies with new forces to
overcome and nothing to overcome
them with.
In addition to this unsatisfactory
condition is the unstable political con-
ditions in England. The resignation
of Sir Edward Carson from the Brit
ish cabinet and the retirement Of
Premier Asquith on account of ill
health. the removal of General Sir
Ian Hamilton from command in the
Dardenelles and the substitution of
Maj-Gen. Munro all point to politi-
cal crisis that would surely ruin mill
tary policies. Perhaps the situation is
best described by the military cor
respondent of the Evening London
Standard when he says:
We are in a hole. 1t is
not the first time we have been
in a hole. for it was touch and go at
Cambria and Landrecies on August
26. 1914, and again in Flanders a
year ago. but we did not know it then.
This time we do know it
We have lost faith in the ability of
our statesmen and in the strategic
conduct of the war and in the will
Iingness of the people to support the
war: three or four very serious ques-
tions now exercise the minds of poll
ticians and public alike and threaten
to wreck the government; in France
the best known minister has resigned;
in Russia public opinion is badly
shaken. Four great powers are
full of good will for one another, but
each is a law unto itself.
On the enemy's side we find unity
of purpose. singleness of control and

country. We believe that represents
a much larger accomplishment than
raising 100000 Of course the
former generations gave more of their
support to the construction of the
churches and actual support Of min
listers and less to the support of show,
music and ceremony than the present
generation. But that only shows the
duty of the present generation more
clearly This fact also suggests that
expensive music and other efforts at
display are not so strong a religious
force as the old time preacher and
new churches were, and maybe this
weakened religious spirit will fail to
raise the necessary money to estab-
lish the proposed funds.
But if the former generations were
able to support their preachers and
build the churches it comes as a chal-
Ienge to the present generation to
maintain the property their fore
fathers established and provide decent
support for all good preachers dur
ing their whole life. The fact the
different denominations are serious
Iy undertaking such a large task is
encouraging and it's accomplishment
would be a great revelation of the re-
ligious spirit of the present genera
ton.

Should Do a Little Investigating.

The need of more economy in the
American naval department is well
shown by the following figures show
ing the expense of maintaining the
English, German and American nav
les during the year 1914. The cost
for the year in England was $751;
10000, in Germany $116, APO, 900,
and in the United States 1851, $3.50
During that year Germany pushed it.
self from third to second place in the
naval powers of the world, taking the
second place from the United States,
and made that advance for less mon
ey than United States spent in losing
ground. The naval expenses of the
United States were sixty per cent. of
those of Great Britain but her naval
strength is only thirty per cent of
that of Great Britain.
To start in on program of nation
al defense with such an expensive and
inefficient system as the United States
has seems almost criminal. The gov
eminent of this country must be
somewhat familiar with the methods
of England and Germany and must
understand the reason why there is
such an unfavorable difference be-
tween these countries. If it does not
it certainly is incompetent to under
take the expenditure of such enor-
nous sums as it recommends.
we do not oppose the recommends
tions of the present administration
They call for none too much and
probably a little more would greatly
increase the safety of what they ask
But the American people should be
shown why such expensive methods
are necessary before they are asked
to spend more. This administration
has shown considerable desire to in
vestigate other peoples business.
Here would seem a fine opportunity
for it to investigate it's own.

constant willingness to sacrifice ev-
erything and take all risks.
The situation reveals clearly the
weakness of the people in conducting
military campaign. 1t is almost i'm
possible to get the people to unite on
a war policy especially when the
fighting is done in a foreign country,
Secrecy, so necessary in the prepare
ton of a successful campaign is very
difficult and voluntary military serv-
ice is very limited.
Despite the discouraging features of
the present we cannot believe Ger
man militarism will win the final vic
tory. 1t is a tremendous fighting
power. with campaigns well planned
and completely prepared. Its won
derful efficiency challenges the admir-
alton of the world and terrorizes it's
enemies; but it's inhumanity, its am
methods terrorize the civilized world.
The world would never dare acknow-
ledge the ascendancy of Germany S
emperor and his purposes. So we are
confident that ultimately his strength
will be crushed. 1t is frightful to
think of the expensive blunders al
ready made and Immediately possible
but if civilizations power and the
principles of justice are anywhere
near the force they are credited with
being we shall see their triumph be-
fore peace is finally secured.

Hope for the Aged Minister.

The Methodist Episcopal church is
trying to raise a sum of $4,000, 900,
the Presbyterian church $1O,OOO,OOO,
the Baptists 100000 900, the Episco-
palians 100000, and the Congrega-
tionalists 100000 to be used as a
fund for the support of aged or retir-
ed ministers. Other denominations are
planning to raise funds and the total
for all denominations is $67,OOO,O 900.
Only the income from these funds is
to be used for the support of those
preachers unable to continue in active
service and support themselves. AL
lowing a net income of three per cent.
on this sum an annual income of ST.
100000 to be paid for the support of
these people would be assured.
Sixty-seven million dollars is a
large sum of money to be voluntarily
raised but it would seem a possibility.

The necessity of protecting the
song and game birds to prevent their
extinction becomes more and more
evident. A much smaller population
than we now have destroyed a sup
ply of pigeons much in excess of the
present number of all song and game
birds in this country but still an in
creasing number of hunters are prey
ing upon those left. The natural
breeding and feeding grounds of these
birds are being destroyed but some of
the former grounds are being restOr-
ed by the rapid development of young
forests. The forests are not sufficient,
however, to maintain the old time
supply of these birds and the study,
direction and protection of the human
race is required. Much attention has
already been directed to this prob
lem as nearly $50 changes in the fish
and game laws made in 40 states dur
ing the past year indicate. These
changes have been largely in the in
terest of propagation and protection
and will doubtless aid much in saw
ing the birds and game. The value
Of the birds is little understood and
there should be more popular educa-
ton on the subject as that would in
crease the public demand for better
and more efficient protection.

Accommodating a deficit at the rate
of a million dollars a day, was the
record of this administration during
the first IL working days of the month
of October. During July, August,
September and the first half of Octo-
Der, the administration incurred de-
felt of over $4,000 900. By changing
its form of daily statement of treas
ury conditions, the administration has
made it impossible to compare the
present condition of the treasury with
it's condition under republican admin
istrations The comparisons which
many newspapers were making every
week were not at all complimentary
to this administration.
