Another Protest Under
. Way III. -[-

DREMIER ASQUITH in carrying out his
Il suggestion that the Allies will not allow
their efforts to be strangled in network of judi
cial niceties," appears to have raised another of
those international questions with which the Uni
ted States has been party, with one side or
another, ever since the war started The British,
in this instance appear to have drawn plain
line and certainly have disposed of the judicial
Lniceties According to their latest announcement
they will not permit Germany to carry on any
trade whatever with neutrals, the British fleet
Ito be used to prevent any ships entering German
ports with goods and to seize the cargoes of any
ships leaving German ports.
Naturally this interests Uncle Sam very much.
If the British are allowed to make good their an
|nounced intentions, it will mean the end for the
time being of the expectation of cotton to Ger
many and it will mean the end for the time being
of the importation from Germany of number of
things upon which American manufacturers de-
pend, principally certain drugs and aniline dyes
of which Germany is the sole source Just now
This is the British reply to the German sub
marine blockade, against the strict enforcement
of which the United States recently warned Ger
many In the struggle between the British and
Germans, the United States is acting the shuttle
cock to their battledores the product of this activ
ity to date being fine collection of protests and
"a splendid line of replies that say nothing in most
polite language. These latter Secretary Bryan is
filing away, alongside of the stock of answers he
has been receiving during the past twenty months
from the half dozen Mexican presidents
The trouble with the Wilson Bryan brand OF
diplomacy is that it has swung around the circle
so frequently that no foreigner appears to know
what the United States wants nor appears to care

Good Promotion Results

VIsIToRs from the mainland who are them
Y selves experienced in publicity work are in
no wise backward in praising the publicity meth
DDS employed by the Hawaii promotion conf
pany, no small proportion of these mainland cri-
tics expressing wonder at the results obtained
here for the comparatively small cash outlay.
That this praise is not mere polite verbiage can
be taken for granted. In the first place those who
have spoken are not the kind of men to praise
without justification; in the second place there
is plenty of mainland evidence just now to demon
strate the publicity value of the work of the pro-
motion committee. 1t has been a noticeable
thing for instance, that during the past two
months there has not been magazine of national
standing which has not in one way another,
mentioned Hawaii or Honolulu Munsey, Serb
ners, Leslie's, Golfers, Everybody's, McClure's,
the Nation, the Outlook, the Literary Digest, the
Saturday Evening Post and practically all others
1t is doubtful if any other section of the United
States has been so successfully press agented'
as has Hawaii.
Fhe success which has attended the work of
the committee in the past should be even better
in the future, with the local Office for the first
time in charge of successful newspaperman
Secretary Taylor has already put into practise a
number of new ideas and already some of them
are showing results

FILIPINO LOSES -.
JUVENILE BRIDE

A young Portuguese bride and a
Filipino husband wero separated yes
terday by Judge Whitney, when he sent
the wife to the girls industrial school
in Moiliili. The marriage of the couple
was brought to the judges attention
yesterday by the girls parents, who
claimed that their daughter was only
fourteen years of age last August and
that the girl had married without their
consent.
The young wife will spend the rest
of her minority in the industrial school;
that is, she will remain there until she
,attains the age of eighteen years.
The girl, Guilhermina Rodrigues,
married the Filipino, Joaquin Lopez,
only q few days ago. They met IN
Kahuku, this Island, where Guilher-
nina s parents reside.
From what could be learned yester.
day, there is pilikia ahead for the
agent who granted the marriage IL
cense, the parents of the girl not hav-
ing signified their consent to the mar
riage. - TaltsT Fl ar.r

A Toxic Vie1U
FRANK statement of

n FRANK statement of the opinion of the
IA foreign residents of Japan regarding the
Japanese Chinese question is contained in re-
cent issue Of the Japan Advertiser of Toxic, an
American-owned daily, the most influential for
eign newspaper of the Empire. Admitting that
it does not know exactly what the demands of
Japan upon China are, and suggesting that judg
merit be suspended until the exact facts are avail
able, the Advertiser says:
"Japan's demands from China have filled the
West with rumor and the East with apprehen-
sion. In spite of a vigorous censorship various
versions OF the claims, crystalizing into one sub
stantial and apparently fairly authentic edition,
are in full circulation. An official dement, has
been published at home and cabled abroad in
terms wide that they may mean nothing or
everything. Unfortunately there is reason and
precedent for suspecting that those inspired dis
Chalmers usually. mean the least to which their
terms can be reduced
I'm this case we believe that neither foreign
nor Japanese opinion has attached any great
value to the vague assurances regarding respect
