RUSSIANS TO THE DARDANELLEs.

That Russia greatest need in this war is
not men but munitions and officers especially
mnnitions--is again proved by the news that
Russian soldiers are to be sent from Vladivos-
tok to the Dardanelles to reinforce the deci-
mated ranks of the Allies striving to take
the Gallipoli peninsula.
Without millions of men to draw from, the
Cars generals could not think of sending
troops away from instead of toward the hard
pressed lines in Russian Poland and the bit of
Galicia still remaining in the Slav grasp. But
even with the hundreds of thousands killed in
the three great Mazurian defeats, the first Ger
man drive on Warsaw and the long and finally
disastrous Galician campaign, Russia still can
fling horde after horde toward the death-deal-
ing trenches and the cannon's mouth.
There is political aspect in the reported
movement of troops from Vladivostok to the
Dardanelles One of Russia S prime objects in
this war-perhaps her prime commercial OBJ
ject-is to win Constantinople and the long
desired sea-way from the Black Sea to the Med
iterTanean. Her feet has done very little exc
cution on the hinter end Of the Bosphorus and
her campaign against the Turks In the eau
casus still wavers between victory and defeat.
Perhaps, to secure the rich reward she covets,
Russia feels that she must strike still more eff
fective blows at the Ottoman, and one way Tof
doing this is to send soldiers to the Darda
nefles when the Allies need fresh material.

COURT DECISION NEEDED.

A legal fight because of the frontage-tax law
will probably clear the atmosphere, which is
certainly murky so far as this Improvement
plan is concerned.
Very probably it is best for the city and the
property owners to thrash out in court now the
difference between maintenance" and ''con-
struction" in road-work. The issue has arisen
because Manoa citizens with some justification
object to paying 100 per cent ASSESSMENT for
construction in their district while large part
of what they declare is construction work on
Queen street and elsewhere is being paid for
from the city's general funds.
The supervisors insist that the pieces of
work under fire by the militant Manoans are
merely maintenance, not original construction.
The valley citizens thereupon decide to bring
injunction proceedings Thus the statute gets
before the courts.
1t was inevitable that sooner or later the law
of 1913 and the simplifying act of 1915 should
be attacked, either in a friendly test-case or
hostile assault. And supreme court decision
on some of the disputed points will be well
coined by public officials as well as private
property who must stand the assess
ments. 1t was inevitable that as soon as
the supervisors began even partial enforce
ment of the law they would discover honest
differences of opinion. Only an Interpretation
by the highest tribunal will suffice to reconcile
these differences.
Honolulans may now see how advantageous
itwould have been had the last board Of super
visors made something like an effective at
tempt to enforce this law. At least they would
have got the statute into court long ere now
and the delays of litigation would probably
have been concluded by this time. The city
would have been much further advanced in its
application of the ocal-assessment principle.
Now that the issue is raised, the Star
Bulletin believes it is wise to take it to the
supreme court as soon as possible and secure
early judicial interpretation. 1t is to be hoped
also that the main points in dispute will all be
passed upon, not merely this particular ques-
ton.

THE CONTEST OF ENDURANCE.

Premier Asquith 3 statement to the British
Parliament that the war has now become a
contest of endurance is not surprising news
but It viii nonetheless be hard for the Allies
to stomach.
For months the official observers, = seye-
Witnesses and the rest of the critics who
write according to che dictation Of the war
office have declared that the Germans were on
the point Of breaking. Even after the much
heralded spring drive ? of Kitchener,s forces
failed to materialize- the only drive being
made by the Germans the Allies continued to
insist that German resistance was about due to
collapse But the fact that the Germans were
able to rally the broken Austrian forces in the
Carpathians, clear the Russians out of Galicia
and Bukowina and drive them to the gates Of
Warsaw, and at the same time hold the French
and British on the west at least to even terms,
has pretty thoroughly dispelled the theory that
German defensive on the west must soon
crumple and the Kaiser's troops withdraw be-
yond the line.
The London Times was probably first OF the
big British papers to look the facts in the face.
The Times several weeks ago declared there
is no immediate prospect of being able to conf
pei the Germans to withdraw within their own
frontiers; that it will take months TO provide
the British forces with big guns, high explos-
ives and machine guns which are necessary.
The country has got to set its teeth, = says the
Times, disregard confusing bulletins, and
face the probability of prolonged and unpro-

ANSWERING A QUESTION.

The Advertiser this morning quotes an I'm
named brewery director as saying:
ANY citizen who has knowledge Of an infraction
of the law is legally and officially bound to lay an
information with the proper authorities. The Field
report was public property. Copies of 1t we're In
the possession of the editors of both newspapers.
Why didn't they take the initiative?'
The facts are that the editor of the Star

made public laid the matter before City Attor-
ney Cathcart personally and offered to furnish
him with copy of the report.

A great relief to the long shortage
Of water in Wailuku and Kahului
mains has been noted this week. when
heavy showers have been frequent In
the lao valley. The condition of the
water supply was more serious than
for years previous and at times in
the afternoons for several successive
days not a drop could be drawn. It
was impossible in Kahului for the peo-
pie to get baths in the morning unless
they rose at daybreak and sometimes
not even at that early hour was it
possible to draw enough water for
anything more than sponge. The
good pressure in the upper mains now
makes irrigation possible on the Wal.
iuku lawns.
On the corner opposite the Pioneer
Store large new office building is
being erected. The corner is well sit.

Flag Raising at Birmingham.

Cold weather could not chill the en-
thusiam that was in the hearts of the
teachers, pupils and friends of the Bir-
mingham school Friday afternoon when
a new American flag was flung to the
breeze. Quite number of the friends of
the school were present. The exercises
were opened in the school room when
the children were required to give some
of the regular studies for the day. 1t
was certainly interesting to hear them
go through the subjects presented. Chill
dren ranging in age from five years to Is
years, recited in chorus the names of the
Presidents from Washington to Wilson.
Then they gave the name of every
county in this state and the name of the
county seat and some of those who were
present and supposed to be in possession
what the children were telling had to
acknowledge that the YOUNGSTERS knew
more than those who were listening to
them.
After the recitations the pupils formed
line and marched to the playground
where fine flagpole, 80 feet high, had
been put up. The pupils sang patriotic
air and the flag was presented to l.. H..
Gratz, supervising principal, who in
turn gave it to the Board of Education.
John Lucas, vice president of the Board,
hauled the flag to the top of the pole
and pulled string which loosened the
end of the flag, sending a shower of
small flags to the ground, causing a live
ly scramble among the children to gain
possession of the emblems. Order re-
stored the children saluted the flag.
Miss Nellie Thomas, of Birmingham,
read "Old Glory" and Miss Chestina
Blodgett, of Long Branch, sang "The
Star-Spangled Banner" Elsie Dougan,
one of the pupils, recited a selection, at
the close of which the boys and girls
cheered the flag. Addresses were de-
livered by Rev. I. J. Wright, of Mount
Holly, and Rev. A. B. Carman, of Penn
berton, and the exercises closed with
singing by the children.
The flag and pole were purchased with
money raised at an entertainment given
by the pupils. Miss Pearl Austin, prin-
cipal, Miss Lennon, assistant, and Miss
Nellie Thomas are entitled to great credit
for the successful result of their efforts to
securasa flag for the school, and the pu-
pills are proud of their share in the mat
ter and also take much pride in the fact
that the flag is their property, gained by
their own efforts, and was not gift from
some outside source, and they are per
fectly justified in this feeling of owner
