AN ALL,PAcIFlc CARNIVAL.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bnlletin.
Sir: Now that the Carnival Is over
and at time when thought should
be given to the future celebration Of
1916. have a suggestion to put before
the stockholders Of the Mid-Pacific
Carnival and their committee.
Mr.. Alexander Hume Ford some
years ago suggested the celebration In
Honolulu OF what he termed a Poly
nesian Oiympiad. In this article
which appeared in the Mid-Pacific
Magazine he dwelt at length on de
tails that may seem impracticable to
great many business men, but new.
ertheless, a great idea exists In his
suggestion: namely, that peoples from
the islands of the Pacific be brought
TO Honolulu to compete in various
games and contests.
No one can doubt the success of
this who observed the sensation Gre
ated In Honolulu by the presence of
those Samoans who passed through
here a month ago. If the resident
population showed this interest. i'm
'agine the success of introducing in the
tourist season and at Carnival time
companies Of Samoans, Fiji islanders,
Tongans and even people from the
islands further to the south. These
three Ismention because they are most
accessible to US. They could be reach
ed very handily by the steamship
lines that pass through Honolulu. and
Mr.. Ford, with HIS almost miraculous
powers of persuasion. could no doubt
get very favorable terms from both
the Oceanic and Canadian-Australa.
sian steamship lines for the transpor-
tation of these teams. since it would
prove 3 great promotion asset to the,
above-named islands.
These people undoubtedly breed
splendid swimmers and experts with
their own styles of outrigger canoes
Why could not there be races of these
sorts with our own people? Their
games and athletic contests on land
are bound to be interesting. while as
musicians and dancers we have only
to call TO mind the above named Sa-
means to picture the success of two.

A FRANK sTATEMENT FROM oKUMA.

Premier Okuma IS frank statement of Japan &
aim in China will be reassuring to the United
States as well as to the great new republic
fioundering rather helplessly in the diplomatic
sea.
Undoubtedly If Japan were to show greed
for territory and concessions at the expense of
China, the United States would be uneasy, for
Japan's protestations of disinterested friend
ship would then be regarded as false. But if
Japan is great enough and unselfsh enough to
keep her own hands off China and the hands
of seheming European Powers as well, she will
win the admiration Of the world She will be-
come to Asia what the United States is to
tile North and South American cont nents. "A
Monroe doctrine will be written for the Orient
and Japan will administer it No longer will
her place in the neg em6ny of Asia be disputed.
Particularly viii Japan give the lie to the
alarinists IN America by an unselfish attitude
toward China. Her repeated assurances that
she views the United States with no hostile eye
must then be taken without reservation.
1t is q splendid ambition one worthy Of a
great Power that Count Okuma voices. He
must of course, reckon with war party at
home as well as with intfigues abroad. But in
every effort to preserve the integrity Of the
Orient Japan viii have the moral support Of the
United States and the anxiety shown by the
European belligerents as to Uncle Sam s attf
tnde proves to. what an extent the moral sup
port Of this country is desired.

IS NOW CALLED KAIsERBERG
Germans Give New Name to Town OF
Czenstochowa In Russian
Poland.

Petrograd.-You will look in vain
for the city of Kaiserberg on the map
of Russian Poland, and little will you
suspect that this name stands with
the Germans for the ancient city OF
Czenstochowa, but Kaiserberg 1t is at
present, and the inhabitants are
forced, under threat of severe penal
ties, to speak of it as such.
This is another proof of the Ger
mans tactful policy toward the Poles
whom the invaders are supposed to
win over to their side, for Czenstocno-
wa to the Poles is what Mecca is to
the Mussulmans, and no greater In
suit to the national pride and faith
could be imagined than the remaining
of the ancient fortress.
"Kaiserberg now, KaisergraD
(kaise-'s gravel in a few weeks
hence" is the prophecy of the refu-
gees from the invaded part OF Rus
sian Poland.

Would Eliminate Three Boards.


Several changes in the methods in
use in handling state funds are rec
commended in the annual report of
State Treasurer Henry Johnson, made
public.
The report shows the receipts and
disbursements by the state during
the fiscal years ending June 80. 1913,
and June 80, 1914.
Mr.. Johnson's recommendations are:
To do away with the fiscal year end
ing June 80 and make the fiscal year
coincide with the calendar year to en-
able the department, to give correct
figures as to the cost of each admin
istration, and enabling reports up to
December 81 to be made to the legis-
lature when it meets in January.
The elimination of the three boards
which now handle the state trust
funds and the handling of all trust
funds by the land commissioner, who
are the constitutional officers. The in
vestment to be~largely in school dis
trict loans, thereby doing away with
the responsibility Of keeping great
quantities of bonds in the state treas
urer's vaults.
To apply all possible funds which
might warrant remission of taxes to
payments on he Indebtedness of the
state to the trust funds, with the re-
suits that the debt will be paid and,
the cry that tax remissions are made
for political purposes be halted.
The distribution of the receipt of
revenues so that they will not all
come in February, the railroad taxes
to be paid May 1 and November 1.
The report shows receipts for the
year 1914 of $21, 404, S69.77 and dis
bursements of $19,028,S95.6 with
balance in the general fund on June
30, 1914, of $4,30O,S54S1. This COM
pares with a balance on June 80, 1913,
of $1,924, 890.6S.

of chemistry at the University at HE
Conclusions of any kind produce

posed law will be punished by fine
ment in the states prison for a term
not exceeding $35, 200 or by imprison
not exceeding FIVE years, or by both
fine and Imprisonment in the discre
ton of the court.
The committee also recommends
the establishment of permanent state
police department SO that all of the
laws, regardless of local sentiment on
the subject, shall be enforced. In its
report to the legislature the committee
claims that it has been stated by near
ly every official and social worker tes-
tifying before the committee that the
other laws regulating practices which
tend to immortality cannot be secured
through officers who are controlled by
local influence, and that the enforce
ment of such laws can only be secured
through central officers who are not
Influenced by local sentiment" This
is the reason voiced by Assemblyman
Frederick for the enactment of state
police department law.
Another law will prescribe a heavy
penalty for the use of fictitious name
in police and court records, and would
compel every hotel, rooming and
boarding house in the state, not only
to be licensed, but to display sign
giving the name of the person oper-
ating the place.
A closed season for deer until 1916
is proposed in a bill to be introduced
by one of the members of the assem-
bly, from northern Wisconsin. 1t Is
said that the number of deer in north
ern Wisconsin is being rapidly de-
pleted and that some preservation
measure of this kind should be enact
ed. Opposition has also developed to
the law passed at the last session of
the legislature creating a state ath-
letic commission, which has supervis-
ion over boxing matches staged in the
state. A measure for its repeal will
be introduced. The state receives
per cent of the receipts collected
at each of the athletic matches under
the supervision of the commission.

OFFICER STAYS IS
Performs Daring Exploit With
Homemade Bombs.
Crawls In Dark to German Trenches,
Destroys Machine Gun and Kills
Enemy's Soldiers With Hand
Grenades Made by Himself.
BY FRANKLIN p. MERRIcK.

By FRANkEIN r. MEhRICNs
International News Service Correspondent.
Paris.-With three bombs made by
himself, an officer of engineers of the
British army has just performed an
exploit worthy of chronicling. He
crept up to the German trenches and
killed Is Germans, besides destroying
a machine gun
This sapper was stationed at point
of the battle line where the British
and German trenches are near to each
other. He fitted up a laboratory in a
farm house in which he was CHARTERED
and here he began to manufacture
hand grenades. These he decided to
test personally.
A few dozen yards before the first
British line was German trench in
which was posted a machine gun that
had killed many English.
The trench was cleverly built in
sections, so that the British could not
capture one point and then fire down
the trench 1t was like row of old
fashioned church pews, each pew say
six yards long with about five Ger
mans in it. The machine gun was
posted in a pew so situated that 1t
could sweep the whole front for long
distance Before it was shield and
a parapet.
The British officer selected time
when it was quite dark and crawled
carefully to within about a dozen
yards of the machine guns position
He carried one of his homemade
bombs in each side pocket and another
In his hand. He hurled the first right
in next to the machine gun.
There was a terrific explosion and
the single man in the trench to re-
main alive screamed with pain. The
machine gun was hopelessly wrecked
The Germans along the line did not
realize what had happened. The bold
sapper was not content with tho dam
age he had wrought, so instead of
crawling back to safety, he leaped
into the trench with the machine gun
and the dead and dying Germans. The
compartments of the trench were con
nected by passageways, making an
angle. The Germans in the compart-
ment next to that of the machine gun
were in an uproar. firing in the direc-
ton of the British lines and evidently
believing the allies were delivering a
general attack. The Englishman
hurled his second bomb among them
Five or six Germans were torn to
shreds Into the second compartment
the sapper crawled and cast this third
and last bomb into the next group
along the line The effect was as
great as before.
To clear out the three ccmpart-
ments of the trench had been the
work of not more than three minutes
