BRITISH COMMENT FRIENDLY.

British comment on the Dacia incident is
/ generally distinguished by good spirit and can
dor. This from the overseas edition of the Lon
don Daily Mail indicates that the Britens do
not. hold the American people responsible for
an event raising the question of neutrality.
The State Department at Washington has
issued statement recognizing the friendly
spirit of Sir Edward Grey IS interim reply to
the American note and expressing the conf
dence of the United States government that
ssthe cordial relations will continue pending the
diplomatic discussion We share that conf
dence and not less because we recognize that
British and, American interests in the matter
of contraband must necessarily be in opposi-
tion and that other questions may arise which
will test the sincerity and good sense of both
peoples and of both governments.
One such question, indeed, is already over
the horizon The Dacia, assteamship engaged
before the war in: the cotton trade between
Bremen and the ports of the southern states,
was one of the many German vessels that took
refuge in American harbors on the opening of
lhostilities. She has now been taken over at a
surprisingly low figure by an American citizen
of German extraction. The United States gov
eminent has admitted her to the American reg
istry, and her new owner proposes to load her
with cotton at Texan port and start her off,
flying the American flag, on a profitable voy-
age to Bremen. IF she were to reach there moth
ing could prevent her resale to the Hamburg
American line, her original owners.
IF the Dacia sails the British government
will have to seize her, to hiring her to a home
,psrt and send her before prize court. Ameri-
cans, we aresconfdent, will recognize that a
principle which would permit the local pur
chase of the entire German mercantile marine
now interned in neutral ports and the employ
ment of the vessels thus acquired on their old
routes, is .inadmissiblet not merely from the
British but from every point of view"

OPPOSITION TO
.SPRECKELSSITE
FOR A HOSPITAL
Supervisors Object to It
Businessman Says City
Can Do Better

Considerable opposition is promised
to the proposal of Mayor Lane and
Supervisor AHA to purchase the
Spreckels' property at Punahou for a
site of an emergency hospital. Super
visor Hollinger has gone on record as
favoring the location of the proposed
hospital in the contemplated city hall
building and today Supervisor Horner
voiced his disapproval.
1T is a waste OF money" said Horn
err referring to the proposal to pur.
chase the Spreckels' property, land
one that | cannot understand. With
the new officers of the Queens hospi-
tai, | believe the city can have a
small addition put on the Queens hos
pital for accommodation of city pa
tients. A separate hospital would ne
cessitate the employment OF day and
night physicians, day and night nurses,
as we'll as a new outfit and equipment
What l cannot understand, though,
he continued, lis the difference in the
price asked in a conversation | had

property, last Saturday and the price
asked of Mayor Lane yesterday. Hen
riques asked $4,000 and he showed
me how he had arrived at that valua-
ton. Yesterday noticed Mayor Lane
had announced that the price asked
was $4,000. l would like to know who
is going to get that 81, 900 difference"
Horner also objects to the Spree
kels' property on the ground that it
is too far from the business districts
to serve as an emergency hospital.
Furthermore, a member of the
Chamber of Commerce says that from
"a business standpoint, the city is not
justified in entering into the deal for
the Spreckels' property, pointing out
that there is government property
right near the police station that
probably can be secured for an emery
ency hospital.

EDITOR
RUSSIA, THE VAST.

The average citizen of the western hemi-
sphere has had his interest in world events
sharpened during the last FIVE months because
of the war in Europe and must have had his
attention drawn toward Russia as one of the
principals in the great conflict
To the average schoolboy of a few years ago,
Russia was chiefly noted for it's anarchist plots
against the car and for sending prisoners to
the mines in Siberia, whence few returned.
But today it is different. There is desire to
know more about this great country that over
shadows nearly the whole northern part of
Europe and all the northern part of Asia.
Russia bigness creates establishment. All of
North America with all the islands thrown in,
including Cuba and the West Indies, would not
cover the territory that the Russian Empire
does, and a popularity is the fac. that il is
one great mass with no scattered parts and
every inch of this vast empire is in the north
ern hemisphere Its population is 17OOoo,0OO
and is increasing at the rate of 100000 every
year, due to births. Its population is far great
er than that of Great Britain, Germany and
France combined.
Books written on Russia have contained some
astonishing tales of that country. "Frozen
Russia it has been called, and well named, for
during the winter months+the empire has no
salt water ports free of ice. In fact, Russia's
desire for an open port all the year around is
behind her series of moves against Turkey.
Onesixth of the land area Of the globe is
under the flag of the car of Russia.

SHERIFF DEF|ES
CIRCUIT JUDGE IN
CONTEMPT CASE
Rose Fails to Appear on Ash
ford's Order, Taking Appeal
to the Supreme Court

County Sheriff Charles H. Rose did
not obey Circuit Judge Ashford's cita-
ton ordering him to appear in court
at 9 O'Clock this morning When that
case was called neither Rose nor his
attorneys were present and the court
stated that no hearing would occur in
the matter until action has been taken
by the supreme court.
This is the result of the writ of pro-
hibiticn obtained by Roses lawyers
last night.
Through his attorney. L. Andrews,
County Sheriff Rose obtained a writ
of prohibition from Chief Justice A. G..
NJ. Robertson of the supreme court
shortly after S o'clock last evening,
restraining Circuit Judge Ashford
from compelling him to appear on the
citation for contempt, which was is
sued by Judge Ashford yesterday aft
ernCon.
In his petition for the supreme
courts writ the sheriff AYERS that no
contempt of court has been commit
ted. The writ as granted is to re-
strain Judge Ashford from further &C
tfCn in the matter until 10 o'clock
next Monday morning, when he, Judge
Ashford, is cited to appear before the
supreme court and show cause why
the prohibition against his court
should not be made permanent
Judge Ashford's first citation
against Rose was made yesterday
morning, in the form of minute-or-
der, requiring the sheriff to present
himself before the court at 1870
o'clock in the afternoon. Rose failing
to appear at that hour, the order was
formally and placed in the
hands of Deputy High Sheriff Patrick
Gleason, to be served on the county
sheriff.
Rose in this affair is believed to be
acting under the advice of his legal
counsel. The trouble started, as told
in the Star-Bulletin yesterday, over
the arrest of Henry B. Lewis, indicted
for robbery in connection with the
alleged fake opium deal in which John
T. Scully is said to have been in
volved. The warrant for, Lewis arrest
was issued by Judge Ashford last Fri
day. Lewis told, the court yesterday
morning that he was placed under
arrest Monday The court averred
the return made by Sheriff Rose
showed Lewis had been apprehended
on Sunday. 1t was to explain this dis.
crepancy between the return made by
the sheriff and the statement made by
Lewis that the order requiring Rose
to appear was issued.---. 49,,

BISHOP HUGHES. TO TALK
AT METHODIST CHURCH

Owing to the fact that Bishop Hugh
es can spend only. one Sunday in the
city, it has been thought advisable for
him to preach next Sunday evening in
the Methodist church. though the men,
bers would like to join in the union
massmeeting to be held in the Opera
house under the auspices of the Anti
Saloon League.
The officers and pastor had decided
to do so, but Dr. Wadman, on behalf
of the league. insisted otherwise, in
asmuch as the Opera House would
prove too small to hold all the people
next Sunday evening who would like
to attend.

When over with the drag let the
soil lay two or three days and disk
in opposite directions and follow as
before with plank drag.
Here is where you can save time
by attaching sharp-toothed drag
harrow to the plank drag. This at
tachment opens up little burrows in
which the seed will fall. have found
nothing better than hawthorn bush
for brushing in small seeds.
Some soils and localities favor fall
and some spring seeding
On high or rolling land where good
surface drainage is to be found,
prefer September for seeding.
On land where there is any doubt
as to the condition of the drainage
system prefer preparing the soil late
in the fall and seeding as early in
the spring as the soil will do to STIR
If fall sowing is best you get the
start of all weeds that come up be-
fore frost; the more the better, as
frost kills them down and they make
fine mulch for the young alfalfa
plants during winter.
If spring sowing is best in your
locality, you will have to contend with
more weeds; but do not clip the first
season, as the young plants need all
the nourishment they can get from
the air, and this they get through
their leaves which are their lungs.
Some will say: ooh, the weeds
will take it," Sow enough seed to
take the weeds.
The proper time for cutting is after
the first blossoms appear. If 1t
stands longer the stalks become hard
and many of the leaves are lost in the
handling.
If the sun is shining and drying
wind blows, cut in the forenoon and
rake into windows in the afternoon
and put into small cocks. Let them
stand till the dew goes off the follow
ing morning, then put away in the
NOW.
During rainy weather caps for the
cocks are very good and will pay for

TREES SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY PRUNED
To Prevent Pear Blight All Num-
mied Fruits and Dead Patches
Should Be Burned.

The pear blight was quite prevalent
on the western slope last summer and
a few pear growers lost considerable,
both in the destruction of trees and
fruit.
4 The season of the disease Is past
and the fruit growers efforts should
now be directed toward the cleaning
up process. Trees should be carefully
gone over and all diseased twigs and
branches should be cut off and burned.
The cuts should be made few inches
below the seat of the disease and a
knife or tool used in the cutting
should be disinfected by dipping it
into a solution of corrosive sublimate,
one part to 1000 of water. The ground
under the trees should be carefully
searched for mummied fruits CT fruits
that were infested with the blight and
dropped to the ground. The trunk of
the trees should also be examined and
all places showing a depression with
an area of dry or dead wood and bark
should be scraped clean and cut out
until the live wood is reached; after
wards carefully painting over the sur
face with a solution of copper sulphate
to two gallons of water.
The mummied fruits and the cancer
or dead patches on the body of the
tree and in the crotches of the
branches are hold-over places for the
blight and from which the disease
starts in the spring. All portions re-
moved from trees including fruitImum-
mics should be carefully gathered and
burned.

(By J. WESLEY GRIFF1N.)


Not all soils will grow alfalfa.
Neither will all soils grow wheat and
many other grains and grasses. Al
falfa will grow where corn will make
a good crop. The main requirement
of alfalfa is good drainage. Alfalfa
revels in sunshine when there is suftl-
cient moisture present.
On the plains and in the valleys Of
the West it gets the sunshine it needs
while the moisture is furnished from
below; frequently it comes from a
depth of rs feet or more.
It has been proved that alfalfa does
well under the cloudy skies of Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York. There
are some points to carefully watch in
growing alfalfa in these states.
Some of the sol, is acid and re-
quires lime to overcome this.
Ground limerick at the rate OF
1000 pounds per acre may be put on
with safety, but if caustic lime is
applied $50 or 700 pounds per acre
is enough as the caustic properties
are liable to injure the young plants.
Another danger is the liability OF
the plants to heave out ON clay soils
when there is a succession of freezes
and thaws.
The richer the soil the sooner the
tap root is established and the dan
ger from heaving is past.
There is a close relationship be.
tween the alfalfa plant and the sweet
clover plant (melilotus alba) Alfalfa
will grow and make fine crops on any
land where sweet clover is found.
There are three very important
points to keep in view if you are go
ing to plant alfalfa Good drainage,
artificial If not natural a thorough
preparation of the soil; plenty of
good pure seed.
Use whatever implements you have
at hand, but have found disk har-
row. No 40 Oliver Chill turning
pillow, plank drag or float, and a
sharp-toothcd drag harrow to be all
that is required in preparing for seed
ing.
Set the pillow to run as deep as the
soil has been broken heretofore and
pillow close and even. We don't want
any cut and cover when breaking for
alfalfa.
Follow each days breaking with
the plank drag This levels down all
Jumps and prevents the escape Of
moisture.
After the soil has lain in this state
for several days, use the disk harrow
again. Set 1t SO 1t will cut down to
the mellow earth turned under.
When over once with the disk, fol-
