THE DEADLOCK AGAIN.

The Associated. Press correspondent who
sends out from the Dardaneiles word that the
Allies feet has failed to reduce the strong
forts in the narrows, adds a significant contr-
button to the war chronicles.
From the official communiques of France
and Great Britain, it has again and again ap-
peared that the Allies were about ready to
anchor their feet off Constantinoplc, the Gold
en- Horn, and lombard the seat of Ottoman do
miniOn. Instead of that, after sea attack that
admittedly has been costly, even as naval costs
go these days, the Allies are still peppering at
the heavily fortified spots in the narrows.
Probably this was the reason for the landing
of troops at GallipOi, announced last week.
However the impartial statement published
this morning by the Associated Press throws
some doubt on whether the Allies could have
reached Gallipoli.
With a deadlock on the western front, the
Tuwo- German garrsons holding the Darda-
nelles, the Russians thrown back each time they
invade East Prussia and checked in Poland, the
strategy of the Allies rests for success now
upon two main features-the battle in the Car
pathians and the blockade of Teuton commerce.
If the Russians can win the gCarpathians and
stream down into Hungary new aspect can
be given the land war. And the Allies are
continuing mercilessly in their announced de-
Termination to "starve Germany out" Per-
haps Lord Kitchener's Compromised May at
tack will change the situation in the west.
Otherwise the test of logged endurance will

The Bethany Silence.
In the last week of the life of our

One was Wednesday. the Silence Of

Saturday, the Silence of the Tomb.
These two days were not days of in
activity but Of recuperation, one fOl
the Trial OF the Cross, the other for
the Glory of Easter
The power Of Silence is not always
recognized. Great souls have gener-
ally been born and reared in the re-
giOns OF Silence. Wednesday was not
a waSte-day. but prayer day, when
the soul of the Lord took frmer root
in the unseen and the eternal.
The invitation to prayer. unaccept-
ed by the multitude is an invitation
to power.

THE CHALLENGE OF THE SUNDAY
MOVIES" BILL.

One Immediately apparent fact in the senate
public hearing last night upon the "Sunday
movies bill was that some of the strongest
protests against the bill were voiced by and on
behalf of the Hawaiian people.
The opponents of the bill emphasize that the
sunday moving pictures will not only tend
very directly to lowering respect for an order
", quiet and uplifting Sabbath day but will be
the entering wedge to more serious attacks on
the sanctity of this day set apart for rest and
wholesome moral influences. The talk of
Educational and BIBLICAL moving pictures
amounts to nothing since it neither comes from
nor is sanctioned by ministers, church societies
offeligious organizations of any nature. 1t is
simply catch phrase to deceive part of the
public as to the nature of the bill. 1t is opposed
BY the men and women devoted to religious in
struction and social and moral welfare work.
It is advocated by those with commercial in
Ierest in the moving picture business.
The argument is advanced, and apparently
With sincerity, that if moving pictures are al
lowed to be operated on Sunday, the working
man may take his family to the picture-shows
on Sunday, while now on weekdays he either
has no time or is too tired to give the necessary
exertion. Without questioning the sincerity
Of this argument, the Star Bulletin would draw
Intention to its fallacy. The facts are that the
picture houses are generously patronized byl
the working-classes every night from Monday
up to and including Saturday, The working
man does find time and energy to see the
movies in Hawaii and to take lris family
during the week. o..
Another argument equally fallacious is adj
vanced by the moving picture interests-thatl
BY opening their houses on. Sunday for film
shows of clean character they will aid the
work of the churches in taking the youngl
people off the streets 4
This is plausible and to a certain extent
it's true, but it is surprising to see it seriously
uttered as an argument for something the
hurches plainly don't want A few months

the contrary, it was a commercial venture, al

day nights when admittance was charged.
The territory will be making hazardous ex-

moving picture interests the moral instruction

cHILD-LABoR AND THE COMMUNITY

If the only argument against the anti-child
labor measure to be introduced in the house is
that it will keep children from working to sup
port their families, the measure certainly seems
to rest on good grounds.
The doctrine that labor by children of tender
years aids permanently to solve the problem
of fair living is economically unsound. 1t
shifts upon the shoulders of the weak the bur
den of the strong. Families which must depend
for living income upon long hours of toll by
their weakest and least mature members are
lowering instead of raising the community s
soundness and vitality. The sooner the state
or territory steps in and remedies this situa-
tion the better for the future citizenship.
This is not an argument that occasional tasks
or even light outside employment for boys and
girls in reasonable hours and under proper
conditions are bad. It is an argument that the
territory should not continue to furnish any
for exploitation of child labor.
