4 Il. Former President TAFT. in his Hott
4 LaSaue address. put in q sentence
4 the middle ground that common no
sense takes between those who con
denim President Wilson as "un-Chrls
tian" for urging any better nationa
defense and those who condemn hin
TOR not demanding something In tn
nature Of, universal military service
Answering especially the. idealisti
who insist that mo nation is going
/ to attack u.s." and we cannot be arm
ed at all without becoming truculen
and aggressive" Mr.. Taft put this
question: 81 :l,t.g 4, ~. s'@ ~, H
Is it. more likely we shall -. !,
vite war because we are merely
ready to defend ourselves than N
other nations will attack us be- \
cause we are helpless
It seems to Mr.. Taft that there is
only one answer to that question.
There is only one answer. We all
know what It is when We consider
the present situation Of China. And
we have only to look at Belgium, to
realize that the most unOffending ma
ton is not safe from invasion. AS
for reasonable armament making US
aggressive,"" Mr.. Taft put the truth
as we all know it when he said:
"Our people are not for war at any
time except to stop a wrong"
Turning to those who grieve or rail
because Mr.. Wilson does not de-
mand more armament as big fleet
as England's or as big an army as
Germany Sit is interesting to note
a M To ~
posals for the army substantially
identical with the Wilson Garrison
plan. Mr.. Taft had both as Secre-
Itary Of War and President to study
this question. He b Ids that we
need a mobile land force Of about y
500, 900 men as a second line to
meet the condi tionE Of an invasion
that has defeated OF 4 eluded the
navy. ". g s,:9;.;
For the navy Mr. TAFT proposes 4 3
standard whose practicaltt is self
evident. The navy. he says, must
be equal to. that Of any nation hav-
ing a great standing army and able
to mobilize at once q large exped1-
tionary force" Making this general
definition specific he adds:
Germany's navy is, therefore,
+: the measure OF our navy. Why
not esEngland's? Because OF its
habit OF arbitration for hundred
"a years, and because 1t has no {
great standing army.
In our preparations to see to It
THAT our independence shall be safe
from assault, as helpless China's is
not and that we shall be- let alone
to work out our destiny in peace. as
Belgium was not we are entitled ia
count somewhat for the future upon
/ the past and present conduct Of 9th.
er nations, just as we are entitled tG
count reasonably upon the barriers
Of the oceans. 1t would be foolish te
1rely wholly on either.
Having studied tn" subject under
the same conditions Of official re
sponsibility it is certainly significant
that Mr.. Taft should reach the same
conclusions as to what is reasonable
preparedness, as his successors II
office have reached. The coincidence
commends the pending plans to the
acceptance of Congress and the ma
ton as program Of commons ense
preparedness. u;

Los ANGELES TO
Go AFTER SHARE
OF ISLAND TRADE
[. N. Brunswig Says His City
Now Has Necessary Trans

the Los Angeles Chamber of Com

of the Los Angeles chamber In ex-
tending that body's good wishes to
Honolulu, this morning gave aloha
to the islands.
I'VE feel that with the advent of the
Great Northern here, what we have
been seeking for years has been at

am pioneer in this movement to
develop larger business relations be-
tween Los Angeles and the Hawaiian
islands, am sure that my report on
conditions here win influence Los An
geles wholesalers and manufacturers,
to follow in my footsteps.
Los Angeles manufacturers have
heretofore been unable to compete
with San Francisco in securing a
share of island trade, because there
has been no direct line between Los
and Honolulu. Now that the
Great Northern is making regular
trips on the triangular run. we are pos
sessed of adequate transportation ia
cilities to the islands, something we
did not have before and which put US
out of the running when it came to
competing with San Francisco"
Concerning the Great Northern. Mr..
Brunswig declared he has made %.
ocean voyages and that none of them
was as enjoyable as this. Il never
saw more pleasant lot of officers, or
more effort put forth to please pas
sengers and make the voyage pleas

slant joy"

Red Cross for the Pacific coast and
stated that he intends to endeavor to

The firm of Fred L. Waldron, Ltd,
of which Fred l.. Waldron. president
of the Chamber of Commerce, is head,
is the agency for the Great Northern
and has made special arrangements
for expeditions handling of the multi
tude of details involved in looking
after the new steamship passenger
service.
At the firms offices, SIC Fort street,
the interior has been remodeled to
give more space for the shipping de-
partment and a new entrance con-
structed, which will permit of handling
a much larger crowd at one time than
formerly. 1t is anticipated that the
shipping department will be one of the
busiest branches of the business, now
that the Great Northern service is fair
ly under way.
Mr. Waldron was one of the Homo
lulans who declared from the first ne
gotiations of Traffic Manager Stone

long time he had a standing bet OF

PROMOTION WORK
GETS result in
GREAT NORTHERN
Chairman Berndt Says I1Dream
of'HaWaii and Los Angeles
is Realized"
BY EMIL A. BERNDT.
Chairman Hawaii Promotion Com
.,.i&&Aa


With the arrival OF the Great North
ern" toady there has been realized
the dream long cherished by Hawaii
and Los Angeles to bring into closer
contact the two big tourist centers OF
the western world. The triangular
route,for which such great claims has
been made, is today an actual Ger.
tainty.
1t is hard to follow the sudden cul-
mination of events which led to the
inauguration of this much desired
service and to have the Great North
ern Pacific Steamship Company lead
off in it was not in evidence six
months ago. The rromotion Commit
tee and the entire community are jubi-
liant over this great event and extend
to the Hill liner their best wishes for
continued success III the Hawaiian
field.
The Promotion Committee feels
highly elated over its successful eff.
forts in bringing this palatial liner
here. 1t means before long another
such vessel or even a larger and fast
err one with local requirements given
particular study Just think of going
to the coast in Az days-would that
lot enthuse anybody and infect him
with the "Wanderlust?"
Through the affiliated Hill steam
ship and railroad lines Hawaii is tapa
ping rich field hitherto untouched
which will bring very noticeable re-
suits. Some 168 agents scattered
throughout the mainland of the Unit
ed States representing these interests
are now working for US and one can
easily see that our benefit must be
substantial. Besides, this new liner,
the Queen of the Pacific" brings us
directly to the door of Los Angeles,
the biggest single tourist mecca of the
western coast, a field we have always
wanted to work
We can safely say that the entry of
the Great Northern into the Hawaiian
service is one of. the great
est, If not the greatest, Blooms of recent
years. 1t is the driving of the first
nail for bigger Honolulu as tourist
center.
Hawaii appreciates the honor now
afforded it to travel on the biggest
palatial greyhound of the Pacific, and
promises to do its share to make the
venture the big success it deserves

The third dance is the "Gendokuo-
dori. = This dance is taken from the
Gendo era of Japan, which was the
gayest period in the history of the ma
ton. Two centuries and half ago
the warriors of Japan returned from
conquest, and there was peace for a
period of many years. In that era the
dance became one Of the leading pleas
ures of Nippon and in the dance to
morrow evening the Geisha girls will
dress in the costume of that time
Their hair will also be dressed as in
the Gendo period. In this dance each
Geisha will carry two cherry blossoms
which are supposed to represent hap
piness and peace.

flowers that bloom in autumn In this

the songs of the different flowers. and
the girls will dance to the many beau
ties of the autumn season
