for us.
Another year of peace has been
vouchsafed us: another year in which
not only to take thought of our duty
to ourselves and to mankind. but also
to adjust ourselves to the many re-
sponsibilities thrust upon US by war
which has involved almost the whole
of Europe. We have been able to as
sert our rights and the rights OF
| mankind without breach of friendship
| with the great nations with whom we
have had to deal, and while we have
| asserted our rights, we have been able
also to perform duties and exercise
| privileges of succor and helpfulness
which should serve to demonstrate our
desire to make the Offices of friend
! ship the means of truly disinterested
and unselfish service.
Our ability to serve all who could
avail themselves of our services in the
| midst of crises has been increased, by
gracious Providence, by more and
| more abundant crops; our ample
| financial resources have enabled us to
steady the markets of the world and
| facilitate necessary movement of COM
merce which the war might otherwise
have rendered impossible, and our
| people have come more and more to a
sober realization of the part they have
been called upon to play in time
| when all the world is shaken by un-
paralleled distresses and disasters.
! The extraordinary circumstances of
such time have done much to quicken
| our national consciousness and deepen
and confirm our confidence in the
principle of peace and freedom by
which we have always sought to be
! guided. Out of darkness and per-
plexities have come firmer counsels of
policy and clearer perception of the
essential welfare of the nation. We
| have prospered while other peoples
were at war, but our. prosperity has
| been vouchsafed us, we believe, only
that we might the better perform the
| functions which war rendered 1t i'm
possible for them to perform.
Now, therefore. I. Woodrow Will
son. President of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 25th Of November next, as a
| day of thanksgiving and prayer, and
/ invite the people throughout the land to
| cease from their wonted occupations
and in their several homes and places
of worship render thanks to Almighty
| God.
I'm witness whereof 1 have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington

hundred and fifteen and of the inde.

America one hundred and fortieth.

WEATHER AND WATER,

This warm weather will accomplish a good
purpose if it stirs the city administration to do
something toward solving the water-shortage
problem.
By grace of the last legislature $l05, 900 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
a beautiful residence section inhabited by pros
porous and contented 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-
cheering investigation, to secure much more
water from the Nunanu: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
ritprial approval is necessary before the plans
can 60 ahead. The loan fund commission is
virtually ont 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 a contract for the work and see
that the work is done. In other words, move,
this public project asea businesshouse would
move private project
The superintendent of public works is out of
the territory and the governor will leave on
June for an absencesof 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.

attempts to hold the Carpathians, much less to
get a foothold in Hungary, have resulted in
huge losses without permanent gain. Again
and again the Slays 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 Gracow.
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 Teutonic Allies Russian occupa-
ton of Przemysl is seriously threatened and
we hear 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
a 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 a Serbian invasion of Austria
When the Serbian campaign collapsed aitogeth-
er-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 a portion of CALI
poll peninsula is as yet scarcely far enough de-
veioped to figure as conquest of territory.
All discussions of possible peace up to now
have been with the emphatic premise that the
Austrp-G 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 a'vulnerable point. Unless the
Italians should be tossed off IAN unlikely pos
sibility-the wars aspect, viewed from terri
torial standpoint, has been vitality changed.
