attempts to hold the Carpathians, much less to
get foothold in Hungary, have resulted in
huge, losses without permanent gain. Again
and again the Slavs have topped the mountain
passes and their cavalry has started down into
the Hungarian plains and rumOrs have come
forth that at last the COssacks were raiding
Hungary and the way was open to Cracow.
Always at such times the Austro- Germans have
gathered strength to throw back the stretched
Slav lines and regain the passes. In the last
month the honors of the eastern fighting easily
rest with the Teutonie Allies. Russian occupa-
ton of Przemysl is seriously threatened and
we bear little now of Russian advances toward
Cracow or into Hungary. "~..
Serbia's invasion of Austria was short-lived.
The Austrians at the outbreak of hostilities
wrested Belgrade from Serbian hands and for
time occupied lines on Serbian soil. Then
the little country gathered itself together and
flung off the invader at time when Austria's
heaviest offensive was needed elsewhere. This
was followed by Serbian invasion of Austria.
When the Serbian campaign collapsed altogeth-
rer-due as much to the rayages of disease and
the shortage in guns and ammunition as to the
losses inflicted by the enemy-the Serbs with
drew to their own country. Austria has had no
stomach since then for another invasion.
The Allies occupation of portion of CALI
poll peninsula is as yet scarcely far enough de-
yeloped to figure as conquest of territory.
All discussions Of possible peace up to now
have been with the emphatic premise that the
Austro- Germans hold virtually all the honors
of conquered territory. The Russian conquest
of Galicia is considered of little weight beside
the German conquest of Belgium. But that
situation is changed with the Italian invasion
of Austria. The Allies now are biting into the
Teuton side at vulnerable point Unless the
Italians should be tossed off-an unlikely pos
sibility-the war; s aspect, viewed from a terri
torial standpoint, has been vitality changed.

WEATHER AND WATER.

This warm weather will accomplish good
purpose if it strs the city administration to do
something toward solving the water shortage
problem. .--.@.
= By grace of the last Legislature 100000 was
provided for in the territorial loan fund to help
the city waterworks out of financial hole. A
large share of this money is to go toward de-
veloping the water resources in Nuuanu Valley
and thus relieve the annual famine that strikes
beautiful residence section inhabited by pros
porous and eontented citizens-that is, they
are contented except when each year the water
supply fails and their lawns and flowers
burn up.
The water department has laid out an intelli-
gent and comprehensive scheme, based on en-
gineering investigation, to secure much more
water from the Nuuanu shed No. A Reservoir
can be materially improved with an expendi-
ture of approximately $4,000 and if $4,000
additional is spent on other development and
filtration work, the Nuuanu supply can be tre-
mendously increased.
The delay now is in getting the scheme start
ed. Incidentally, that is the explanation of a
number of delays in public affairs.
As the work must be done under the law reg
ulating the expenditure of the loan funds ter
ritorial approval is necessary before the plans
can go ahead The loan fund commission is
virtually out of existence, but the governor and
superintendent of public works are not What
the city should do is to take up with the gov
ernor at once-the superintendent of public
works being absent these plans for water de-
velopment, secure the necessary approval of the
plans and estimates of expense, put the engi-
neers on the job, get the whole project into de-
tailed form, let contract for the work and see
that the work is done. In other words move
this public project as businesshouse would
move q private project.
The superintendent of public works is out of
the territory and the governor will leave on
June for an absence of several weeks. If the
preliminary arrangements are not pressed, the
whole project will be delayed until the dry sea-
son is over and actual work in upper Nuuanu
valley becomes much more difficult.
Now is the time for the city administration
to get up little speed.

ON AUsTRo-GERMAN SOIL.

Italy's rapid advance into two sections of
Austrian territory, the Trentino and Trieste, at
once gives new aspect to the general war sit
uation. The Allies now occupy strategically
important soil and the Teutonic powers face a
definite invasion in a new direction.
With infrequent exceptions of notably short
duration, the land war to date has been fought
almost altogether on soil of the Allies. Early
last August, in the week following the declara-
ton of war between Germany and France, a
French army made a dash into AlsacesL Lorraine.
Critics are still divided as to the value of this
move-whether it was unwise and headlong
enthusiasm that carried the French too far, or
an attack on the extreme German left to delay
the terrible drive of the German right At any
rate, it was not long before the French left fell
back and took up defensive position on French
soil.
That is the only instance on the western
front where Germany has been invaded On
the east front, the Russians thrice made tire
mendous efforts to march through the Mazurian
lake region and Oyerrnn East Prussia and thrice
they were repulsed with staggering losses.
Farther north, their brief incursion at Mcneil
hardly more than scouting expedition-was
driven back as soon as the Germans could fling
a few Thousand soldiers into the region. The
Russian attempt at invading Germany, indeed,
was soon turned into desperate effort to pro-
fect WARSAW, the German advance once coming
within few miles of the Polish capital The
opposing lines are now established somewhere
between LODI and the German border, on Rus
sian soil.
The Russian campaign against Austria has
been more successful. Przemysl fell to the
Slays after months of effort and they have oc-
cun;ed Galicia for number of months All

The 'sluau incident "-ris simmering down
about to this:

8. At least one of these officers, Smith,
showed lack of tact and discretion in handling

The mayor has disclaimed any intentional
discrimination and has declined to assume any
personal responsibility for the affair. The Ser
vice officials therefore accept the mayors ex-
PLANTATION.
The supervisors are investigating the con-
duct of the police officers. They are not pass
ing upon the mayors part in the affair.
1t is therefore probable that no blame will be
formally attached to the mayor. It looks as if
the police department is going to get the raps,
if any raps are administered.
Sheriff Rose would have been entirely within
his rights if he had declined to take any orders
from the mayor. Not only would he have been
entirely within his rights but he would have
averted trouble for his men. Inasmueh as the
sheriff and the mayor are absolutely at variance
as to what the mayors orders were, this Incl
dent may have the good effect of causing such
orders to be put in writing hereafter. Also, the
sheriff probably will not hereafter take instruc-
lions from the mayor in police matters. Also,
the sentiment in Honolulu is sharply critical of
both the mayor and the police department, in
dicating plainly that discrimination against the
uniform is not Endorsed by the public.
