JOHN BUNNY.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin
Sir: Kindly allow me little space
in the Star-Bulletin to be used In eulo-
gy of one who has crossed the Great
Divide, and who. during his life was
the personification of the axioms.
"one's face is his fortune" and laugh
and the world. laughs with you"
refer to the late John Bunny, who died
on the 26th of last month.
Mr. Bunny was without question the
most popular celebrity that the movies
has produced. or no actor on the
mimic stage today can It more truly
be said that his face was his fortune.
His beaming countenance, seen on
tens of thousands of screens through
out the land, was q delight to the old
and young alike. II Is stated that
when Mr. Bunny was on the street
he was sure to be followed by an ad-
hiring crowd, and in this connection
he had to give up dining at public
restaurants because he disliked being
gazed at continuously. ..:. ..-.
A little over three years ago Mr..
Bunny made his first trip to England,
and he stated that he was not sure
that he knew a single person in that
country, but as he walked the streets
of London he created the same atten-
ton as he did in New York. Even
the little children there would imme-
diately take up the cry of, There's
funny Bunny" In Paris and Berlin
everybody knew him. .~...
When Bunny was a youngster he
lived in Brooklyn and received his
education in the public schools Of that
city, afterwards going to st. James
Academy. The first job Bunny got
was in general store, but there was
the call of the stage" in the air with
John, and when 1t reached that point
where he could not resist longer, he
secured position as tambo player on
the end OF the circle in a minstrel
troupe. From then on he went swift.
ly up the ladder of the profession and
was with Maud Adams, Annie Russell,
Sol Smith Russell and others Of the
top-notchers. +.
It was not until as late as 1910 that
Mr.. Bunny discovered that he could
use his funny face and make for
tune. At that time he was getting
but 500 a week, but with the move
he made to the movies" he was soon
gathering in $500 a week, and 1t is
stated that during the last year he
has been receiving $1,000 week. His
funny face and funny antics created
laughter wherever shown. "a
Mr.. Bunny had a clear insight to
the value of money, and he held on to
most of his earnings ard invested
them in real estate, and was consid-
cred quite wealthy when he died.
Bunny was not in the moving pic
ture business at the time of his death.
About six months ago he severed his
connection with the movies" and
went into vaudeville, forming COM,
.pany of his own. It was his intention
to make tour of the world with his
players, and en- route, gather material
for moving pictures; but the European
war knocked his scheme in the head.
Bunny was a member of the Elks
and the Masons. In 1890 he was mar.
ried to Miss Clara Scallan in Houston,
Texas. He leaves a widow and son,

GERMANY HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

The American note TO Germany, made pub
lie in Washington last night, is not less serious
than advance reports made it. One great
Power, addressing itself courteously to another
great Power, absolutely declines to recognize
as legitimate the system of submarine warfare
which has been operative for nearly three
months. The belIigerent is held to 'strict ac-
countability" for infringements upon Ameri-
can rights.
The American note demands that Germany
abandon this submarine war on belligerent
commerce, for the note declares this country
cannot submit to violation of 1.-THE rights of
american shpmasters and citizens bound on
lawful errands, whether under the protection
of the American flag or as passengers on mer-
chant ships of belligerent nationality. $ g $
Submarines cannot be used against merchant
shipping without inevitable violation of the
sacred principles of Justice and humanity"
While Germany's course cannot be foretold
IN advance, it is plain that her whole plan of
naval campaign would have to be reeast if she
should accept the American note. This in adj
dition to PREPARATION for the American rights al
ready violated and the American lives lost. To
insure the safety of American lives, she would
have to abandon her submarine war on British
passenger ships.
The German expression of sympathy" re-
Gently voiced to the state department by Am
bassador Won Bernstorff placed the response
bility for the Lusitania, Falaba, Cushing and
Gnlflight incidents upon Great Britain because
Of Britain IS food blockade. That indicates the
trend the German reply to this latest Ameri-
can note is likely to take.

THE WAR PRAYER.

Mark Twain, author of that matchless tribute
to Hawaii, is also credited with this sardonic
war prayer:
90 Lord, help us to tear the soldier of the
foe to bloody shreds with our shells, help us to
cover their smiling fields with the pale forms
of their patriot dead; help us to lay waste their
humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us
to wiring the hearts of their unoffending widows
with unavailing grief. Blast their hopes, blight
their1ives, water their way with their tears. -

GERMAN ACTIVITY.

The vigor and optimism with which Germany
is waging its side of the war are amazing, in
view of the enormous odds which it is facing.
No one, however predisposed to favor the
Allies, can fairly refuse to give credit to the
German government and people for their single
minded and efficient conduct of the war. If
the British government and people were as
single minded and as fully aroused, the gallant
Belgian and French armies would have a better
chance to breathe. Washington Post.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IA.

49, =
The New York World, commenting upon
FORMER Secretary Of the Navy Meyers crit
cism of his successor in regard to the F4 loss,
avs
Former Secretary OF the Navy Meyer
Is somewhat rash and hasty in laying the.
blame for the loss of the submarine F4
off Honolulu upon Secretary Daniels per-
sonally. Might it not be well for him to
restrain his zeal until the cause of the ac-
cident is made known after an examina-
ton of the boatf In due time, by the
efforts of the navy, it will be raised, and
experts quite as competent as Mr.. Meyer
will be able to speak from authority where
he speaks from bias.
There has been on the mainland asgood deal
of miscellaneous criticism of the navy depart
nent based on the F-4 disaster Those more
closely in. touch with the entire F-4 occurrence,
rs Honolulans have been, know that it is yet
undetermined where lies the blame for the
tragedy Of March 25. Former Secretary
Meyers criticism was based upon statement
made by Lieut. Commander Sterling before a
congressional committee sometime prior to
March %. In this statement Sterling was quoted
as saving that practically none of the subma-
rines was in a seaworthy condition. 1t was a
sweeping statement and undoubtedly had no
special reference to the F-class fotilla at Homo
lnlu. AS against this general statement, there is
the declaration two days after the F-4 sinking
made by Naval Constructor Furer of the Pearl
Harbor station, who stated specifically that the
local flotilla had within few weeks been tested
and found seaworthy.
It is highly Improbable that Mr.. Meyer had
any especial information concerning the F-4,
81 he would have used it to back up his charges
The somewhat sensational reports concerning
the seriousness of an accident to the F-4 few
DAVIS before her loss remain unsubstantiated
and in navy circles are frankly discounted
On the information nov available, the loss
Of the F-4 was due to no lack Of care in main
faining the submarines. Perhaps 1t would be
more definitely correct to say that there is no
information now available to explain the F-4
tragedy. Certainly nothing has come to public
knowledge to warrant attacking Secretary
Daniels for this disaster. Whatever his mis-
takes. It is entirely unfair to charge the secre-
fary of the navy with responsibility for the
loss of 81 lives without unimpeachable infor-
nation to back up such charge. That infor
nation will not be Forthcoming until the F14
IS lifted from beneath the sea and expert ex-
animation made.
