should PASS ON
SUFFRAGE issue
Congressman Miller Outlines
His Attitude to Anti
Suffrage Delegation
MRS. h. B. THOMPSON AND
MISS BISSELL OPPOSED

Congressman Thomas W. Miller at
noon today gave hearing to a large
delegation of members Of the Della
ware Association Opposed to Wo-
mans Suffrage Mrs Henry B.
Thompson president OF the associ-
alton, and Miss Emily p. Bissell were
speakers for the delegation and con-
tended that the vast majority of wo-
men in Delaware are not in favor OF
womans suffrage. Mrs. Thompson
urged Mr.. Miller TO follow the wishes
of your constituents rather than the
desires of a small group, and trust
that you will make it plain at Wash
ington where Delaware really stands"
Congressman Miller in his reply
quoted portions of a speech defining
his attitude to a delegation OF Della
ware suffragists several months ago.
He laid stress on the point that he
considered that a member Of Congress
represented not only his State, but
was a national legislator as well, and
he believed that under the circum-
stances the question of votes for wO-
men should be put up 70 the people
of the several States by an enabling
resolution of Congress.
Among some OF the "antis" in the
delegation we're Mrs. Preston Lea,
Mrs. Harrison w. Howell, Miss Kath-
crime Wilson, Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Mil
Ter, the Misses Draper, Mrs. +. IA
Gilpin, Mrs. j. A. Draper, Mrs. ]. A.

Wall Street Ru1nors

n HERE are two possible reasons for the war
L rurors on Wall Street on Wednesday that
sent the quotations war stocks" to spectacular
heights. The first reason may be that the sit
uation as it exists between the United States and
Germany is in reality much more grave than has
been officially admitted at Washington and that
the Administration intends to show that it means
what il said when the last note to Germany was
despatched. The second reason, an alternative
may be that holders of industrials, the prices OF
which have already been wildly inflated through
the receipt of European war orders, have started
the talk in order to skim little more cream
off the top and unload at multiplied profit.
Henry Clews, writing before the sinking of the
Arabic and suggesting that Germany would not
further try American patience and forbearance by
any deliberately unfriendly act" warned specu-
lators and investors against the war group spe-
ciaties, stating that they then already over
worked. These advances have been too rapid and
too hazardous" be declared
There is another feature in the Wall Street war
talk, however. If Wall Street commences to talk
war and trade on the probability of war, these
very facts tend 60 bring the possibilities of war
closer

Enterprise Thdt BeiiefitsA /

TIE lnter-Island Steam Navigation Company
i is keeping well abreast of the opportunities
opening up before Honolulu, and the announce
rhent, made in The Advertiser this morning, that
the company is ready to start work on million
dollar coalng plant for the harbor is only another
illustration Of the energy and foresight of the Inter
Island directorate. This company is years ahead
of the government in sensing the benefits coming
and to come from the Panama Canal traffic, and
it is thanks to the enterprselof this company that
Honolulu today is getting big share Of the Pan
anna transpaci6c tramp trade --'%
The coaling plant already in, the floating dry
dock, the modern methods of bunkering due to the
installation OF labor-saving machinery and, quite
important, the liberal advertising Of these port
advantages in the shipping journals of the world,
are bringing the steamers here. y, e. .'-
Croakers and pessimists did their little best a
few years ago to prove that Honolulu would not
benefit from the canal. The Inter-Island went to
work and demonstrated its faith in the future of
the port by doing something to make that future
possible, 1t is great pity we have not few more
monopolies" like the Inter-Island, the Hawaiian
Electric, the Rapid Transit, the Mutual Telephone,
the Oahu Railroad and the other shining marks
for the KNOCKERS "|

Our Mistake

TT is up to the press of Honolulu to apologize
L to the Commercial Club OF Gary, Indiana and
The Advertiser is willing hereby to lead the way
Some months ago, letter from the Gary club was
received in Honolulu, the object of the correspond
ence being to ascertain if in the opinion of the
Honolulu commercial bodies, the Notifications OF
Oahu were adequate. AT first blush it seemed that
the Gary people had been reading about the Japa-
nese Peril and were becoming unduly excited and
there were rbald remarks in the Honolulu papers
fhere can be no question about the mistake we
made IT,
Now the Gary press is having its turn. The
Gary Evening Times, OF August H. cautions Judge
Gary not to take too much interest in Hawaii lest
his motive be misudged.p The Times says:
Hawaii needs defense '' said Judge Gary at
Honolulu. 7 .,.'U
Better watch Judge The Honolulu newspa.
Pers will be saying the same things about you as
they did about the Gary Commercial Club
When the club, falling in line with like organ
zations throughout the country passed rCsOlu tons
urging more adequate defen for Homo uu that
town got right up its upper and insisted the
lndianians were merely irving to drum up a little
business for their steel mills
The Hawaiians are ungrltcfu, judge. Be
full
The Times should know that about the time the
Gary request for information reached Honolulu
the mails were filled with letters from the main
land urging relatives here to flee before the devas
tatiOn of the that was to- come and for the
moment the busine>>likc request for information
became confused with the Mysteries.

LONDON, August ~. - Although,
with the exception of the very bloody
fighting on the GallipOli Peninsula,
there have been no outstanding en-.
gagements in which the British troops
have been involved for the past week,
The steady fighting all along the British
front is to be judged from the official
casualty lists issued yesterday by the
war department.
Those lists, covering the casualties
among British officers, killed and
wounded, for the past eight days, con
tain eight hundred names.

Amsterdam reports state that Yep

correspondents announce the arrival

The most significant announcement
from Paris states that after September
France will resume civil law in all
districts outside of the zone of active
hostiities, martial law to be abolished.

that severe punishment is being admin

Consumption UP Again
CONSUMPTION as means of raising
more troops for the British army is
talked of seriously by cabinet mem
hers now. Lord SelbOrne, the new
president of the board of agriculture in
the coalition ministry, in an address to
farm owners yesterday, fOreshadOwed
something in the nature of CONSUMPTION
as an early probability.
"Moro men must join the army,
voluntarily or by compulsion," he de-
glared, pointing out that the enlist

quired speed. "Wo will try to leave

Preparedness And Tariff

TIME tariff, that local issue as once described
i is to be the main issue again of the national
campaign Republican national leaders have SO
decided and already the preliminary skirmsh lines
have been planned out in the event of a special
session of congress in October That such a spe-
cial session is more than probability appears to
be conceded.
AS a secondary issue of the campaign but hing
ing upon the first will be the question of national
military preparedness,
In their plans to carry the next election the
Republican leaders have decided on these things

idealzation Of every individual life the something
more powerful than egotistn, the something which
