National Security League Issues
Appeal For Support Of Pro-
gram For Better Defense

NEW YORK, May lO.-The National
Security League, an organization
formed to conduct campaign for
army and navy preparedness and of
which. Joseph H., Choate, former Am
,assador to Great Britain is honorary
president, issued today an openHTlet'
ter announcing the result of investi.
cations by its committees and appeal,
Ing for public support for program
for better national defenses.
The league finds, it is stated, that
there are barely 10000 mobile troops
in continental United States, that they
ire SO widely scattered as to make
their rapid mobilization impossible,
that this force is short of officers,
ammunition and equipment, and has
no organized reserve. The National
Guard is found to be below its paper
strength in men, equipment and eff
fciency. Coast defenses, the letter
continues, are inadequate and fortif,
3ations are insuficiently manned and
without adequate organized reserves.
Navy Not Prepared For War
Investigation discloses, it is asserted,
that the navy is neither adequate nor
prepared for war, that it is inadequate
y manned, is short Of ammunition and
has no organized reserves of trained
men; that the submarine fotilla ex.
SITS chiefly on paper; that fast scout
cruisers, battle cruisers and aero.
planes, mine layers, supply ships and
transports are lacking, and that tar
get practise has been neglected or al.
together omitted.
Because of this alleged condition of
affairs and because ait is manifest
that until a workable plan for a world
alliance has .beeu evolved and agreed
20 by principal nations, with proper
guarantee of good faith, the United
States must undertake adequate mil
itary preparations for it's Defense
Program Is Outlined
An appeal is made for support Of
The following program:
Legislation correcting present
wasteful methods of military appro.
lriation and disbursements, the adop-
ion Of definite military policy, q
stronger, better balanced navy, an eff
'eetive mobile army, a larger and bet.

alton of an organized reserve for each

Up To War Department

TNllE responsibility for the lack Of adequate
L housing arrangements for the various army
organizations "n Oahu appears to rest directly up
on the highcr-ups Of the War Department. At the
recent chamber Of commerce banquet to the visit
ing congressman. OF tho local speakers laid
before the visitors some of the reasons why the
army men Of the Oahu garrisons are dissatisfied
regulation was explained and the fact was brought
out most plainly that the housing of the soldiers,
officers as we'll as men, is in many cases very badly
done.
In response, Representative Swager Sherley,
member OF the house appropriation committee
took up the cudgcls for congress and declared
that every cent asked for for the Hawaiian De
partment, whether for Notifications, guns, main
tenancc of troops barracks and quarters, had
been voted by congress- If there be anything
lacking in Hawaii, he said, it is the fault of the
war department for not making known the need
and asking for the appropriations to remedy it.
1t is known that the various commanding Of
hCers in Hawaii have made known the wants Of
the troops here TO the war department. The in
adequacy Of the accommodations at Schoheld Bar
racks and Fort Shater have been dealt with com
pletely while the wants of the other posts have
been officially reported on.
In view OF the implied pledge of Mr.. Sherley and
other members of congress to see that Hawaii re-
Ceives proper attention in the way of legitimate
appropriations, it is up to the department to
that the actual needs of this military depart
ment be made known to congress at the very first
opportunity. ~

Rural Mail Delivery
opportunity

POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLESON is
i starting something again in his department.
something in which Hawaii might benefit. This
time it is towards expansion of the postal service
on terms OF equality throughout the United
States"
He announces that every rural route, petltlOned
for has been approved and that henceforth the
fourth assistant postmaster general, who has
charge of rural delivery service will provide for
the extension of the service to all persons reason
ably entitled to it, regardless of whether not a
petition for the service is on file in the depart
ment." Making his word good, Mr.. Burleson has
directed that Investigations be undertaken to as
certain whether there are other communities en-
titled to these facilities.
Hawaii might rise to enquire whether some
rural delivery routes could not be found here 1t
is up to our postmasters, because they have been
called upon to make report regarding the facilities
for delivery OF mail to farmers "In fine" says
Mr.. Burleson, these postmasters will be expected
to furnish the department with information to
how the existing service can be improved" He
has preceded this step by read justing the rural
service in many mainland localities and by this
work, covering period of over one month has
reduced operating expenses $2925O52. This sum
Mr.. Burleson has used in establishing 439 new
routes, which mean the delivery of mail daily to
254433 additional persons residing in the country
districts.
1t is noticeable from the reports that the bulk
of these routes have been established in South
ern States but that may be because Southern pcO-
pie have not been dcrect about asking for rural
delivery OF mail. For example twenty-One of the
routes have been established in Arkansas
FIVE in Florida, five in Kentucky, fifteen in Lou
isiana, fifteen in Missouri, eleven in Oklahoma
and seventeen in Mr. Burleson's home state Of
Texas There were only three new routes put
in i'll the great State of Pennsylvania, three in
Wisconsin, tw" in New York, in Indiana
three in Iowa and 50 on.
But the postmaster general says every petition
for rural route has been approved and that ev-
erybOdy on the mainland, entitled reasonably to
rural delivery, is to have those facilities 50
there presumably is no reason for anybody there
to complain. This is big stroke of policy and
becomes Of the notable things Mr. Bureson
has done i'll his tireleS energy at recognizing the
great department Of which he is the head ! { the
new things he is doing turn out at all WE'LL he
will have fame one of the postmaster generals
who was worth his salt. For many years, there
has been conspicuous dearth of ability or applica-
ton to tasks or both in the office of postmaster
general.

Monday. Please

T was doubtless without the least intention of
complicating matters regarding the community
observance of Memorial Day that Governor, Pink
ham issued his proclamation setting aside Satur-
day, May 20 as a public holiday, instead Of Mon
day May 81, and in view of!ths rnixaiB that has
resulted, the Governor viii probably RECALL his
original proclamation and reissue itNwith the date
changed. ~. w." .-e
1t has been the invariable custom in Honolulu,
as elsewhere, to proclaim the day following and
not the day before as holiday whenever the date
OF generally observed holiday falls upon. Sun
day. and no good reason appears to exist now why
the precedent should not be followed. The Grand
Army of the Republic men Of Honolulu, who
should be the ones consulted and their wishes
respected will parade on Monday. The official
order calling out the National Guard to parade
specifies Monday, Undoubtedly the commander
of the Hawaiian department will specify Monday
for the day Of the turnout Of the regulars for Mem
orial Day observance. t"'. A.. T''A '~

change in his selection than for everyone else to
change, even if the federal law were not manda-
tory in its language. -. ..l ,.|a1..

THE BLACK MAN-SUI-
GENERIS.

All forces are united against the
black man. His skin is against
him in every community in the
United States.
AS a scholar, as an orator, and
as a genius. he commands admira-
ton until his face is seen, when
his admirers shrink back, to with
hold what the merit Of the situa
ton would accord to any other
one with white face. Color in
American society seems to be the
standard of merit and the pass
port to recognition.
The commonwealth., 1915-08-21

How long will this condition
1ast-in a democratic community
with population noted for its
hetero-geniety-unlike any other
community in the world. Does
this condition exist because the
black man is sui-generis? Not al
together so. The situation is in
Auenced by the traditional rela-
ton of the black man to the white
man in the United States.
His relation to this same black
man is quite different in any other
country other than the United
States, notably the West Indies,
Central and South America, Eu-
rope and Africa. In these coun-
