TO BE HEARD At
B|JOU FOR WEEK

Nella Webb, one of the most pop
lar women in the concert hall world
Of England, especially in London
where she has great record for draw.
ing ability and for length Of engage
ments, has been secured for a one
week engagement in Honolulu and will
appear atsthe Bijou theater commenc.
ing with Wednesday night.
A former musical comedy star, Miss
Webb turned to vaudeville some five
years ago and since that time has ap.
peared continuously in England and Is
now en- r0uteto Australia where she is
as well beloved as in the mother coun.
try, having established a record in
Sydney by picking one theatef for 33
weeks. ...-5. =
Among her musical comedy success.
es, Miss Webb Created the leading
role in Babes in Toyland" and. in
The Girl from Rectors," later playing
with Julia Marlowe in Shakespearean
productions. 49,. .
Miss Webb comes to Honolulu as a
Song actress" something different
from anything that has ever been done
here before, her work being similar
to that of Ada Reeves, the great Eng.
lish artist whose work in American
houses has caused her to
be iheralded as one of the greatest
English contributions to American
vaudeville I Miss Webb, according to
the London critics, is even more artist.
ic than is Miss Reeves and that being
a fact Honolulu is in line for a. rare
treat. =

crown colony. the Siberia soon picked
up other warlike vessels who followed
it to Nagasaki
For some distance from Yokohama
feet Of ten fighting ships Of all sizes
and grades was sighted on the lanes

While the Siberia was not once over

The Heroes Of the Iusltania.

To THE EDITOR or Tue SUE-Str:
Shocked AS all the world il by this aw-
full tragedy OF the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, surely We must all feel thrill Of
the greatest admiration for those brave
men and that Belgian woman who, with
the most sublime courage facing imme-
date death, risked their lives in help
ing to save the helpless little children
doomed to bc the innocent victims of this
premeditated outrage, which was to
prove to the world the great power and
strength of Germany. Let us pause and
set "A day aside to acknowledge these
heroes and this heroine, who have
once more shown the world there Is
something greater than the mere killing
Of men Might does not make right,
and We are sorry for IN" German ma
ton, which we Americans wanted To re
spect and whose children when they
came to our shores as elnIgrantS were
given all the advantages which our great
country has held out to the children OF
every nation. We are glad that many
OF our citizens of German origin do not
countenance but deplore this act, an act
which, after all is said, was one OF which
only the most cowardly would he guilty,
All glory to those brave Americans
who aided the women and children first
proving to the world that there IL some
thing higher and more noble than the
wanton destruction of human life
why should the nation not appoint n
day for memorial services for thes,
great men?

MR.. EDISON'S FIRE.
An Answer to the Wizards Defence
Of Concrete Construction.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sr: In
communication to the press Thomas
\. Edison claims that a pamphlet en-
titled the Edison Fire" being a reprint
from the clay Worker, is false and
misleading. a statement not Justified by
facts. The pamphlet is an account OF

Mr.. Edison Is a noted authority on
all matters relating 10 electricity. but
the destruction OF his plant proves con-
cluslvcly that he In not an authority on
tireproofng. II is n matter OF common
knowledge that this plant was not
equipped with any OF the modern safe
guards against the spread Of fire, There
was no sprlnkling system. no water cur

vent the spread OF fire. which OF itself

An Original Idea.

At the annual convention Of the
American Association for Promoting
Hygiene and Public Baths. Colonel
HINES, Superintendent of Public
Buildings of the Borough of Manhat-
tan. called attention to novel idea
in public baths which will add greatly
to the resources of this city. These
ba this consist OF steel tanks containing
constantly flowing Croton water, which
are secured at the foot OF street
but float in the river. Last year
I,0OOUO persons bathed in them,
This free bath was devised for the
sition of vigorous people who had been
deprived of their summer swimming
because the Health Department felt
lmpelled to abolish the old wooden
floating baths on account of the water
being infected by sewage.
This tank bath aims more for re-
freshment than for cleansing. II is
chiefly valuable for its effect upon
the nervous system, from which ema-
mates all the energy Of the human
body. Its value for this purpose was
brought out yesterday by Mr.. STITT
OF the Department Of Education, who
proved beyond n doubt by the reports
Of school principals that the stlmulat-

A Narrowing Issue.

The circular statement" Of the
German Government cabled to Wash
ington on Tuesday by Ambassador
GERARD was received after the tor
pedoing Of the Lusitania but was not
necessarily prepared after that event.
1t concerns the cases Of the Gushing
and the Gulfight. but not Of the Fa-
laba and Lusitania. The circular ad
mits full responsibility for harm to
neutral vessels on account of unfortu-
nate "mistakes?" by German subma-
rines. That means apology and pc
cuniary damages. In the German Adj
miralty notice OF February 1s It was
explicitly declared that in case Of
"any unfortunate accidents that may
occur to neutral vessels within the
war zone Germany dsclaims all
responsibility
Here, then, is apparent reconsidera-
tion and the narrowing. in some de-
gree. Of the questions at issue be-
tween Washington and Berlin.
while this marked concession and
change OF attitude on the part Of
Grrmruy does not affect the other
great question which President WILL

has been gained by that very delibera

President which is passlonately at

as feeble and unpatriotic.

President. That is the way just now
to stand by the flag!
