National Preparedness

F war should come, how many men are there
L who know how to take of themselves I?
How many men in this city know how to light
fire of sticks, or cook meal, or travel at night
across country in the dark, or swim rivers or
sleep in the mud, or pack hundred-pound-load
ten, twenty or thirty miles? Who knows how to
shoe mule, dress wounds, care for the sick, or
clean up battlefield? How many men know how
to load rife, gauge distances and shoot to kill2
We have enough guns and ammunition to arm
two million men and we have the men, but there
is not one well equipped base training camp in the
whole country. .a,, ''3y.'
Modern war kills men in masses. Are we going
to fill up the gaps at the front with and un-
trained men who have done. of the things
mentioned above, and who must meet thousand
emergencies that, are unthought of? We have
done that in every big war we ever fought.
We can talk war and national honor but are we
prepared to declare one in defense of the other i?
1t is not cowardice to speak of these things. 1t
would be folly and humiliation not to consider
them. ,2 o.
We little better prepared as a nation than
in 1875, 1872 1924 1847, 1861 or 1893. Even the
Seminole of 1921 cost us fifty millions and
thousands of brave citizens. The money cost of
does not count for everything. 1t is the blood
of the young of the nation that would be
on our heads if we plunge madly into the abyss.
National self-respect demands that we protect
the lives of fellow citizens if need be with our
own, but do we know how-are we ready-are
we prepared? ~.
National preparedness must be complete to be
effective. The people of the United States of
America must seek that preparedness if they are
to maintain the proud position of guarantor among
the nations of the higher and broader doctrines
and ideals of liberty and common humanity.
Preparedness for war must not be based solely
on selfish considerations calling for the protection
of our own people, the extension of our domain
or the expansion of trade America stands for
justice to all men and all peoples and unless we
are fully prepared, EARNED, equipped and are ready
TO back up demands for fair play, in the name
of humanity, of what usesare our assumptions.
There must be military training and preparation
of the young of the land Efficiency is not
militarsm nor will it ever be as long American
ideals prevail.

Universal Disarmament

"A international tribunal supported by an inter.
"A national feet and army in order that the
decisions of the supreme power could be enforced
is one of the suggestions which may be adopted
by the whole family of Nations after this war is
ended
The weak point of arbitration between nations
is that none of the parties to dispute are bound
to recognize abide by the decision of The
Hague tribunal, the Geneva conference, or any
other court OF nations.
Universal peace by common consent will not
be attained short of hundred years. but universal
disarmament and the disbandng of the huge
armies and navies whose maintenance by the bel
ligerent powers in this has broken the peace
OF the world, and the formation of international
police force would be the first step towards en-
during peace. 49,.
The racial enmties bred of this struggle will
pass, for men do not bequeath their hates and
jealousies to their children. We, today, sons and
daughters of North and South no longer hold the
hatreds of our fathers who fought in civil war
Time and Mother Earth heal all wounds, but of
this frightful combat will come a better under
standing of each other among all the races Of the
sons Of men

Onions of Paradise

lets discovered which when their story was
deciphered by the learned men of the East were
found to relate a strong comparable to the Biblical
account of the Garden of Eden.

Adam and advanced circumstantial evidence fully
corroborating the yarn of how Eve circumVented
the serpent. In important particular only was

EN- When Mr.. Adam was director and manager of
the Primeval Botanical and Geological Gardens of
Paradise Limited, some four thousand years pre-
yious to Mr.. Plinys time the Original Apple must
have been only the size of pea and as hard as
a rock, so neither the Serpent nor the Lady could
have been consumed by curiosity to consume it.
With the Onion, however, it was different

HAMMER HEADS|N
|. HONOLULU HARBOR

A school of hammerhead sharks has
been foraging in the harbor for the
past week or SO and, working havoc
among the muIlet and other finny d~ni'
zens of the deep,still waters.
The sharks are of comparative
small size, and several have been
caught by mullet-fshers operating from
boat, weighing from three to seven
pounds.
The little hammerheads have been
taken by allowing the baited hook to
lie on the bottom. When hooked in
the jaw they give considerable play on
light tackle. When a voraciOus fellow
swallows the hook he makes one mad
rush and then suffers himself to be
brought to the surface without much
trouble.
Young hammerhead flesh isn't bad
eating, being superior to that of the
aku, kawakawa and other red-meated
fishes which are exposed for sale in
the local market.
The hammerhead shark, mano xiii
Xiii, is so named on account of having
head resembling in shape a hammer,
and the width of which is about twice
its length. Its color is gray and it
grows to large size, sometimes attain
ing a length of fifteen feet or more.
1t is an extremely vOracious fish. This
species is common throughout the South
Seas and in Japan.

The Legislation Committee

TNHE report of the chairman of the legislation
u committee Of the chamber of commerce is
timely and the points made should be ground into
the public's mind and remembered far ahead
as the next general. election.
The theory Of representative government is a
correct one to follow in democracy because the
Legislature elected by the majority of the voters
represents an average Of the community thought
on all matters affecting the public veal.
There are always too many laws proposed BY
the members, on too many subjects, so that the
tremendous task of winnowing the wheat from
the chat falls heavily on the committees. In Ha-
waii the non-elective civic bodies take it upon
themselves to help cleanse the Augean Stables.
Legislation is not in step with the rate of prog
ress achieved in the commercial world, here, on
the mainland, or at Washington, but the head
carries the body with it. AS long as the head
advances the body must follow
Had it not been for the gratuitous assistance
rendered by the chamber OF commerce the session
OF the legislature couo not have been completed
within the specified sixty days. 1t is not neces-
sary for the Legislature to reenact the multiplied
ton table or legalize the habits of fish.
The chamber of commerce did not at any time
attempt to forestal legislation any subject
whatever where there seemed to be public demand
necessity for amendment improvement of
the code Their efforts were advisory only What
they did was to help the legislators both time
and waste motion Being themselves import
