MERCHANTS TO
FINANCE TRIP
OF SWIMMERS
Six Men Instead of Four to
Represent Hawaii at Lex
+. position Meet

Six swimmers, instead of[foHr. as
originally planned, will rerresent Ha-
wall in the Panama. ,cifc meeting at
San Francisco this month. Lawrence
Cunha and LukeIa Kaupiko are the
two men added. to the team, the orig
inal four being Duke Kahanamoku,
George Cunha, Herold tStubbY) kru-
ger and Clarence Lane.
The. sending of a Hawaii team to
the exposition meet was made possible
by the generosity OF some OF the lead
ing local firms, who came through
with enough money to exc out the
scanty allowance made by the eXpOsi-
ton committee. A week ago it looked
as though the trip might fall throIgh
because the San Francisco people
were willing to donate only $500 to-
ward expenses. 1t was figured that
SI100 would be necessary to finance
a team trip, and w. T. RawlinS, IreSi-
dent of the Hawaiian branch of the
A. A. u, went to the Chamber of
Commerce regarding subscription to
raise the $500 lacking The advertis-
ing and subscription committee of the
chamber gave hearty endorsement to
the plan, and the money was raised
in short time. The swimmers leave

which has become proverbial. is not
going to desert her now"
The necessity for the retention OF
the sugar tariff is ably set forth In an
editorial of the July issue OF the
Chamber -of Commerce publication
Honolulu, which made its appear
ance today. The editorial says:
AT the moment when events are
demonstrating the necessity OF 'large
expenditures by the government OF the
United States to provide a larger and
more adequate navy and for other
features of national defense, figutess
become available showing, under the
tariff ET'te now in force, that sugar

CONCENTRATE EFFORT.

It is beginning to be perfectly plain that the
convention of delegates called to revise the city
charter will oppose drastic changes. There
will be in particular strong opposition to any
thing that looks like the short ballot system. :"
In other words, the majority of sentiment in
the convention is going to be against reducing
the number of elective offices. While cities on
the mainland are generally going in the direc
ton of centering responsibility and eliminating
as much politics and patronage as possible,
Honolulu continues to elect the head of its
police department, the city clerk and city at.
tornev, three officers which in many munich
palities are appointed. The advocates of
shorter ballot will have to concentrate on one
or two of the reforms most needed if they are
to get anything out of the convention except
superficial patchings.

From the facts now known, the sinking of
the Dominion liner Armenian was justified by
international law and the usage Of warfare.
The liner was ordered to halt, which would
have given her crew and passengers time for
escape in case the German submarine found
her CARRYING contraband and decided to destroy
her. Instead of hating, the steamship tried to
escape and was then torpedoed. In this case
the German submarine observed the humane
custom that President Wilson has insisted
upon. The sinking of the Armenian should be
an example to other belligerent ships, particu-
larly those carrying passengers or crew OF
neutral nationality. .:s -.
