FLYING NEUTRAL FLAGS.

A South Dakota congressman is achieving
brief fame through the introduction OF bill
sspenalizing foreign ships Whatever that
NAV mean which make use of the American
flag for purposes of deception" The tele-
graphic dispatches do not say how the South
Dakota statesman is going to penalize them and
probably he does not know himself. The use
of neutral flags by beligerents is so frequent
that it borders on accepted customs. 1t is II
ritating to the neutrals, and is likely to en-
danger them, but no way has yet been proposed
that gives much promise of stopping it. The
Lusitania incident is, of course, the most nota-
bic instance during the war of a belligerent ship
flying neutral flag, but there have been nnm-
erous others. The German steamer Pommern,
one of the 'srefugee" feet in this port, evaded
capture by posing as a Swedish vessel, accord
ing to a story widely circulated when she ar
rived here and never denied. 1t is recognized
rs a stratagem of war on the seas. OF course
81 IS not strictly fair, but then the European
conflict is proceeding very largely on the
thcory that the .'vital interests" of nations ex-
ense almost any breach of peace-time interna-
tional law.
Very possibly some American vessel, yentur
inc into the "war-zone' proclaimed by Ger
many around the British Isles may be tor
pcdoed by Teuton submarine which mistakes
her for British ship falsely flying the Ameri-
can colors. That is hazard the neutral ma
ton must suffer in war as relentless as that
now raging.
This situation well illustrates the heavy bur
den that war lays upon the neutral as well as
upon the belligerent. Uncle Sam must bear
either the lesser or the greater evil-either
stand absolutely against becoming involved in
the war and suffer blows to commerce and pos
Sibly worse, or follow protest with active steps
against the offending nation. That means war
for America. Certainly neither Great Britain
nor Germany is likely greatly to deyiate from
its course merely because of diplomatic
notes. y

ANOTHER CARNIVAL SUGGESTION

Honolulu, T. H., Feb. 8, 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: The new idea for the military
parade, published in yesterdays let.
ter Is o. K. The writer, who signed
himself "Tipperary.', suggests that
at least one company of infantry
should march with fixed bayonets and
sing the famous British war song. 1t
would give us good idea of the Brit
ish marching, singing this song.
To be absolutely fair and strictly
neutral, a troop of cavalry with poised
lances should rival the footsoldiers
with the equally inspiring air,
Deutschland, Deutschland Ueber
Allies" g.. .s....
This would give us similar idea of
German cavalrymen riding, while sing
ing their famous song, and-a few
jack-asses might be induced to bray
Justify, to drown both airs, until the
present deplorable war is over. ~:
Yours very truly,

GERMAN SCHOOLS CONTINUE.

War has made very little change in the aspect
of the 80 public schools of Berlin, which con-
tinue their educational work without Interrupt
ton. OF the 5000 men teachers large percent
age was called % the colors and of them over
100 have been killed or have died of their
wounds. Their places in the schools have been
taken for the most part by temporary substi-
tutes, many of them women, but in some cases
it has been necessary to combine classes.
The high schools and the university have
been more severely affected, as 1900 university
students were of military age and many high
school boys enlisted as volunteers. The total
number of students entered at the university
for the current winter term was 8035 instead
of over 10000 as in times Of peace. Women
students number 900, about the same figure
as usual. .z@.>. nj. T..

THE TRIP TO TAKE.

For several very good reasons the special
excursion to Kauai this week should draw 9
patronage that will tax the capacity of the
steamer
In the first place, Kauai excursion offers
unusual possibilities to visit one of the most
beautiful islands in the group.
The Garden Island-so called from the
beauty of its verdure and its wealth Of natural
Vegetation is less known even to the longtime
resident of Honolulu than either Maui or Ha-
Uaii. 1t has not been until now on a tourist
route, Just why is hard to say. Certainly Kauai
logically ranks among the chief scenic attrac-
TONS of Hawaii
The special excursion trip at the very low
rate Of $3.50 is rare opportunity for the resi-
dent or the visitor of moderate means to see
the Garden Island under favorable circum-
Stances
A program full of interest and Of wholesome
recreation is planned 1t involves no undue
hiking can get tastepf his or her favorite
outdoor sport if that is the wish.
Acknowledgements should patronize the excur-
sion not only because the trip is worth while
but because it is, in a way, the pioneer of the
tourist excursions to the Garden ISLE The sue
success of this means a continuance and a
continuance means another facility. afforded

NEW HAVEN. oCnn., Jan. "a Baby
lonian tablet, believed TO have been buried
in the earth more than 1900 years ago,
containing the earliest law code, recently
has been unoarthed and is now in possess
sion of Yale university. 1t became known
today. The tablet is heavily encrusted,
but part of it has been cleaned and de-
ciphered.
The laws are written in the Sumerian
language. the language of southern Baby

of Accadians in the time of Pammarardi.
Owing to the imperfect knowledge Of the
language the work of deciphering is ex-
tremely difficult. but the university ex-
poets 70 have complete translation made
and published. The laws that have been
translated refer to legislation; concerning
injury to women; the reputation of chill

a stenographer employed by a magazine

Rear Admiral Peary and DR.. Cook on
their return from the Arctic regions, tes-
titled tonight before the house committee
on education that neither of those articles
was written in its entirety by the ex-
plorer whose name 1t bore, but that both
were rearranged in the magazine office.
Miss Kiel was one of number of wit
nesses who testified in connection with
the resolution of Representative Smith of
New York, designed to establish the pri-
ority of the discovery of the North Pole.
She said she took the dictatiofN OF DR..

proofs, eliminated certain paragraphs and
inserted others, the result being. she said,
that the story indicated confession OF
