Announcement

The court circular announces tonight:
1.-The Right Honorable Mr.. Asquith
had an audience with His Majesty the
King, and rendered his resignation as
prime minister and first lord Of the
treasury which the King has been
graciously pleased to accept"
Day Of Excitement
The premer's decision to resign and
advise the King to summon Andrew
Bonar Law to form cabinet was TAX
en- after a day of extra ordinary polit-
ical excitement and activity. There
were constant cCmings and goings of
the political leaders between Downing
street and the various government de-
partments Mr. Asquith met several
Unionist leaders in consultation, in
Guiding Earl Curzon. Lord Robert c.
Gil and the Earl of Derby.
Noticeable absentees from these con-
ferences were A. ]. Balfour. who is ill;
Andrew Bonar Law, J. Austen Cham
berlain and Walter Homelong.
Lloyd Georges Part
The part David Lloyd George is
playing in the crisis was demonstrate
ed plainly today by the fact that he
remained in his office while the pre-
mier conferred separately with the
Liberal and Conservative members of
the cabinet.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges policy has sup
porters in both camps. His strongest
Liberal friend. Lord Reading. carried
messages between the premier's coun-
ellis and Lloyd Georges desk.
1t was significant to onlookers, also,
that Mr.. Bonar Law refrained from
attending the Conservatives meeting
with Mr.. Asquith and Lord Cursor
FASTENED to report to him at the COL
onial office Immediately the conference
was ended.
Politicians Surprised
Mr.. Asquith's retirement has taken
the politicians so by surprise that they
are not yet ready to predict the re-
suits. The possibility that Mr.. Asquith
will consent to remain in the cabinet
with Mr.. Bonar Law taking the post
of lord high chancellor, in which it has
long been considered he might find a
congenial berth, is discussed.
Herbert Samuers promotion from
the home secretaryship to Reginald
McKenna's position at the treasury is
also predicted, while acceptance of the
Of Viscount Grey and A.
J. Balfour. which some of the papers
backing Mr.. Lloyd George are de-

President Smiles

The suffragists said afterward il
was their protest against the Presi-
dents plea with Congress for broader
suffrage for the men of Porto Rico
while he did not mention their own
cause in his address.
AS the banner rippled down the SUI
fragists sat smiling and unperturbed
watching the effect. \ dimlnutlve page,
raised on the arms of men directly un-
der the gallery, grasped the edge OF
the banner and snatched it down.
President Wilson, attracted byS the
stir. looked up from his reading, and
apparently taking in the situation at
a glance. smiled broadly and without
hesitation or interruption turned his
ewes back to his manuscript and con-
tinued his address to it's end without
further demonstrations.
Policemen and gallery guards scurrled
to where the women were seated, but con-
tented themselves with watching the par
~ as if to prevent a further outbreak
When the joint session was over, the
suffragists filed out unmolested by the
police. who said they had no orders other
than to prevent any further infringement
of the rules of the House. The banner
remained a trophy with the sergeant at
arms.
WeII-laid Plans
AS it turned out, the women had their
plans laid with precision. Evidently in
possession of an advance copy of the
Presidents address, they had timed the
document at the speed they expected he
would read and anticipated he would
mach the Porto Rico section in eight
minutes.
Miss Mabel Vernon Of Nevada. who
heckled the President here at his Ameri-
July and who struggled into the. House
gallery under her coat the banner kept
time and gave the signal for the I'M
furling.
Printed Reports Ready
Before the police could get to the GAL
lery the suffragists press agent was
busy handing out printed reports of the
affair replete in detail, giving the names
of the militants and interviews with each.
The consensus of their opinion was
summed up by Mrs. Abby Scott Baker
of the Congressional Union, who declar-
ed the incident was expressive of the in
dipnation that women feel at the stun;d
and senseless opposition to granting the
right of self government to one half the
people of the United States. The 10 wo-
men who took part in the demonstration

BOTH SIDES OF THE BOND QUESTION

In another column today the Star Bulletin pub
fishes letter from Supervisor Robert Hofner, ex-
planning his attitude upon the proposed bond issue.
Supervisor Horner cast the only vote last night
against the bond election. In brief, his position is
that the rOadnee1s Of the district of Honolulu ARE
80 great that they should be given immediate atten

voters allows too much for water and sewer depart
ment extensions and too little for road improve

Public opinion upon the bond issue is slow to
crystalline because of lack of information among
the citizens. 1t is with view to putting botlf sides
before the people that the Star Bulletin publishes
Supervisor Horner's letter. There are businessmen

RETALIATION FOR THE BLAcKLIsT

1t was pointed out in these columns some time
ago that Uncle Sam has several methods of retalia
ton which can be used upon Great Britain If the
latter continues and develops its illegal and impu
dent attempts TO interfere with legitimate Ameri
can business. r.. ~. i. -.
One Of these methods is now invoked in the ship
ping and revenue bills which will become law ere
this session OF Congress passes into history The
shipping bill contains provisions which empower
American officials to refuse clearance papers to YES
sells belonging abroad and which are operated to
execute the boycott scheme The revenue bill
has retaliatory provision putting it into the
hands of the president to place a ban on foreign
products under certain conditions

'The Blacklist is bold attempt by Great Britain

Complaints are being heard in Honolulu that

business is becoming and more noticeable. I'll

James w. Jump, the Los Angeles businessman
Who visited Hawaii last winter for game-fishing,
has issued remarkably fine little booklet entitled,
Humping Around in Hawaii" and those who fol-
loved this energetic sportsman on his various ex-

The booklet is a splendidly illustrated pamphlet
on game fishing in Hawaii, and written with the
trimming enthusiasm which is characteristic of
3Jims Jump Its subtitle is, "A Partial Apprecia-
|ioh Of the Best Big Game Fishing and the Finest
Hospitality in the World" and fully half of its 20
pages is a tribute to this hospitality.
As piece of advertising for Hawaii, it is unsur-
passed BY anything the StarBulletin has seen writ
ten BY mainlander, which is high praise and its IL
instructions and general makeup are extraordin-
1iily effective This booklet will bring many noted
fishermen and splendid sportsmen to Hawaii and
the cordial thanks of all Hawaii are due "Jim"

written, had printed and distributed at his own
expense this sincere appreciation of the islands and

Investigation of the stories told by young Joe
Phillips of alleged ll-treatment at the boys reform
school have resulted in yindicaton of Superinten-
dent Anderson. The vindication was expected by
those who know of Anderson's work at Waialee,
just the puncturng of the lads stories was to be
expected. Reform schools are universally the cen.
ter of wild yarns rejecting the management and
when these yarns come from lads with long record
of ncorrigibility, 10 credence should be placed in
them until they are confirmed by official investiga
ton. Under its new management the reform school
is not only doing good work but is building the
foundation for much better and broader work.

1t is characteristic of the Allies that they should
attempt to have such submarines as the sDeutsch-
land and the Bremen ruled into the warship class.
1t is characteristic Of both sides in this great
fict that they should attempt to eyade ntefnation

to their own facilities for conflict. Germany en-
deayored to conduct ruthless submarine warfare
in violation of international law and performed
peated acts of such violation Later, when Ger
many evolved mercantile craft able to slip by the
Allied patrols, the Entente Powers tried to get the
United States to accept the principle that all sub
marines are vessels of war, which would make mer-
camille trade by the Bremen and the Deutschland
impossible. In battle of such tremendous forces

issues atstake the doctrine that might makes right
