EDITOR

ditions and problems, but he also says that at
some points the colonel is 'distinctly unfair -
Mr.. Roosevelt declares that all-inclusive arbi-
tration treaties of the kind hitherto proposed
and enacted are utterly worthless, are hostile
to righteousness and detrimental to peace.
From the international standpoint the essen
tial thing to do is effectively to put the COM
bined power Of civilization back of the collec-
tive purpose of civilization to secure justice.
This can be achieved only by world league
for the peace of righteousness, which would
guarantee to enforce by the combined strength
of all the nations the DEGREES of a competent
and impartial court against any recalcitrant
and offending nation. Only in this way will
treaties become serious
Such world league for peace is not now In
prospect. the colonel indicates. Until it can be
brought about, the prime necessity for every
free and liberty loving nation is to keep itself
in a state of preparedness such as to be able to
defend by it's own strength both it's honor and
its vital interests. "The most important lesson
for the United States to learn from the present
war is the vital need that it shall at once take
steps thus to prepare"
The preparation which the author advocates
includes the immediate strengthening of the
navy, the enlargement of the regular army and
the establishment of reserve, and the inaugu-
ration of certain amount of military training
for all the young men of the country, after the
manner practised in Switzerland.

Meeting Brings Out Spirited
Discussion-CofQmitte For
49," Year Is Named

With spirited and interesting dis
cussion the PunahGu mothers at their
meeting yesterday took up important
questions in connection with the form
Of dress of the girls and the election
Of officers for next year.
Mrs. d. l.. Wilmington. the chair
man, asked that the election of sthe
committee be as free as possible and
suggested either that they elect the
committee from the floor or that a
nominating committee be similarly
elected. A nominating committee OF
FIVE was chosen who upon delibera-
ton recommended that this years
committee serve another year. This
was adopted. Mrs. W. F. Frear was
unable to serve again and Mrs. F. +.
Blake was elected in her place. The
committee for 1915-1916 will be con:
stituted as follows:
), Mrs. d. L. Wilmington, Mrs. A. w.
Howell, Mrs. F. Z. Blake. Mrs. T. NJ
Church, Mrs. A. F. Clark: Mrs. ]. P.
Cooke. Mrs. George Rodiek, Mrs. F. H.
French. Mrs. D. H. Hitchcock. Mrs.
w. c. Hobby. Mrs. A. S. Humphreys
Mrs. E. D. Kilbourne, Mrs. Norman
Watkins.
Simplicity of Dress.
The question of simplicity of dress
was discussed from all angles. many
mothers participating. Reports on the
feeling Of the girls in both schools on
the question were received. ~
Mrs. w. c. Hobby presented the re-
port of the committee. This report
was adopted and it was ordered print
ed and distributed to every Punahou
mother.
The report, which admirably states
the case, is given in full.
Report on Simplicity in Dress. -
with no intention to influence or
persuade, only to present in helpful
way, the committee of Punahou moth
ers has asked me to give to you the
gist of their discussion of a uniform
for girls. 5=}%>@ .. -. 49,: .-j
"The question of uniform did not
arise in the committee, but was
brought to Us 1t seemed a very easy
solution of the much discussed ques.
ton of simplicity in dress, and we
have given 1t very serious considera-
ton, realizing that our duty is to
study questions for you, and give you
the results, not in any way to decide
any matter. The question rests in
your hands, not ours.

children. and be of benefit to the
school.
. IN the preparatory school for the
first, second. third and fourth grades,
no uniform is suggested. only sim
plicity in dress In the fifth. sixth,
seventh and eighth grades the uniform
which seemed most suitable was the
MILDLY blouse and skirt White blouse
. with eolured collar, cuffs and skirt, or
vice versa. No special color is desi,.
mated. since mothers and children
then will have free reign for exercis-
ing their choice for becomingnesS to

: For the academy two styles were
thought suitable. the one most pre-
ierred being the Peter Thompson
style. AS you know, the Peter
Thompson suits have been the syno-
uym for good taste in dress for girls
from IA TO Is years old for many
years. Most of the schools in the
States for girls of this age who use a
uniform, use this style or a variation
of it. 1t is simple. comfortable and
gives q well-dressed appearance. II
is one-piece sailor-suit. waist and
skirt united by a common belt, wide
sailor collar and cuffs of contrasting
color, with several rows of narrow
tape. Simple skirts which may be
gathered. plated or plain, but never
tight or skinny.
The second style which was sug.
gested by the committee was the Nor
folk jacket, which as you know, is a
loose coat effect, with two box plaits
in the front and back and with loose
belt which lies around the waist but
does not confine it, the effect being
similar to small boys coat. The skirt
is the same as in the Peter Thompson
suit plated, gathered or plain.
The MILDLY was not liked for the
elder girls on account Of its looseness
and failure to mark the waist line.
The Norfolk jacket, while an improve
ment on the MILDLY, still has a similar
effect, though it is a great improve
ment over it as far as neatness in APP
pearance is concerned. IL
The committee feels it unwise that
uniform be adopted for the next
school year, that is 1915-16, but at the
same time feels that it would be well
for those mothers who do like a uni
form and favor these suggested SIM
pie styles, to use them in making the
new dresses for the next school year.
The committee will be satisfied as
well as pleased if they have been able
to help in this endeayor for simplici-
ty in dress. and feel that whether
uniform is adcpted or not, the moth
ers agree on the main issue simplici-
ty in dress.

THE NATIONS IDEAL OF PEACE.

The finest thing that Senator Smoot said at
the Commercial Club on Tuesday, /" comments a
Honolulan, twas something like this:
6 am proud to be citizen of country
whose greatest ambition is to hand down to
posterity national peace. |"
That is a pretty good sentiment to be ex-
pressed anywhere and by any man.. In this
sentiment Senator Smoot, staneh Republican,
and Woodrow Wilson, titular and real head of
the Democratic party, are one.
Nocountry could have loftier ambition than
this. 1t is far removed from the aggressions
and aggrandizements of Europe and of Asia.
1t is above territorial ambitions and commercial
jealousies 1t is constructive, not destructive;
civilized, not barbaric; Christian, not pagan.
With the aid of the nations leaders, the
president of the United States is helping his
country maintain this ideal of peace. If after
tremendous efforts to save America from war,
the administration finds it necessary to fight to
preserve human rights against the reckless
tramplings Of militarism, the country will know
that it has suffered more, yielded more, borne
more to uphold peace than any nation in mod
ern times has suffered and yielded and borne

COL. RoosEvELT's ATTITUDE.


Col Roosevelt has large following in the
United States in anything that he says or does,
and there will be thousands of good Americans
who agree now with much of the matter of his
comment on the Lusitania without agreeing
with the manner.
There is no question that the Lusitania incl
dent has stirred up intense national feeling and
resentment. Insofar as he voices this and
voices it in his Enthusiastically vigorous and
picturesque way--the colonel will hear many a
hearty 'samen, = But we doubt very seriously
if he will get anything like general support in
his effort to press the administration into a
hostile attitude toward Germany.
The colonel's theory of what America S atti-
tude should be is foreshadowed in his recently
published book, America and the Great War"
Here he contemptuously refers to the .speace
prattlers," and declares that the peace con
crosses and other like activities of the ultra
pacifcists'' have amounted to nothing in adj
yancing the cause of peace.
A reviewer for The Dial, commenting on the
eoIonel's exposition of war and national duty,
saws that the book challenges serious attention
because of its insight into national military con-

THE 1915 LEGISLATURE.

The joint legislative committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Sugar Planters As
ISOLATION praises the work Of the 1915 legisla-
ture and particularly its good judgment in
not burdening the statute books with useless or
freak measures. The praise is deserved. The
Legislature, while called upon to enact no
epoch-making law, approved sound body of
legislation that will stand the test of practise
The report of the joint legislative committee
refers to the workmen's compensation act as
the most far reaching and radical piece Of
legislation passed by the 1915 Legislature. !"
This act is published in full in the Star
Bulletin today and should be preserved by EN-
ployers and employees.
The report foreshadows an increase in the
tax rate when free sugar becomes fact and
the European war no longer furnishes abnormal
prices for Hawaii's staple. An increase in the
tax rate in the future may be minimized by
economy in the present. Just now the greatest
savings may be effected in the county govern
ments.
