reasonable period between divorce and remarriage
have been defeated at several sessions Of the !egs
latur. If memory serves correctly, it was in the
1911 session that bill was introduced setting Il
period of three months. Several heated discussions
took place when the bill up for hearing in com
mttee. One of the house members who at first
strenuously opposed restriction on remarriage
finally said that he would agree to Il" compromise
whereby divorced person should he allowed to re
marry within week after the divorce became etfec
tive. 1t was apparent that majority of the house
would pass no bill making the period longer than
60 DAYS. and the measure was Grouped.
That is one reason for incidents such as that of
the Spanish girl at WaIuku.

PROTESTS AGAINST MILITARIsM IN JAPAN

Signs not wanting that there us a growing
protest in Japan against the building up of arma
ment Nor are signs wanting that Japan believes
Germany affords an example of great nation weak
ened instead of strengthened by miiitarism
The Asahi Shimbun of Osaka, Japan, probably
the largest paper in the empire. recently held
prize contest on the subject of "Militarism and
Japan After the European War The winning ar
tiele written by an Osaka resident, strongly con
dennis militarism. 1t is worth reading:
"The present European war has proved beyond
a shadow OF doubt that a nation whose policy is
guided by mitarism will ultimately meet the same
fate as Germany, and that nation, however
strong size may be- can final victory by fight
ing singlehanded against the whole world.
"Militarism aims to exalt one state by the humi
liatiOn and destruction Of other nations. Militar
ism is the offspring of the worst passions Militar
ism is impatient for qualification of its passions and
often plunges a nation into unnecessary war. Mill
tarisin ignores the modern civilization. You may
throw the veil its deformity, yet the ugly fea
lures of militarism remain just the same Is not
the disastrous end 10 which Germany is doomed
lesson that many evils follow in the train of mIitar
ism and will cause the ruin of nation which adopts
it? a- ....-
us it advisable that Japan should adopt mlitar
lisln after the present war? No, never! We do not
see why she should adopt il a all. The end of the
war is not yet in sight and there is no knowing how
long it will continue. However. thing is quite
certain, that is that the begerents after the war
will naturally turn their attention towards their
commerce and industry which have been disorgan-
lied by the war.
'sNeither will they be able on account of economic
reasons to increase their ornaments for some con-
siderable time TO come. After the war the world
will enjoy peace once more. And there is not the
least indication that the peace of the Far East will
be disturbed. Dove want to be loaded with higher
taxes and more national debts? alphabetically not :.
Why then, should Japan adopt militaris.h which is
good for nothing? The great mission of Japan is
to be the guardian of peace in the Orient, and no
body would refuse TO grant that she is sufficiently
equipped with ornaments to protect her interest
and to maintain the independence and integrity OF
China. She has indeed great task before her to
lead the other Asiatc nations the righteous path
of civilization, and if she adopts mitarism her
national policy, they will never look to her with
generous trust. Thus. we can see that matter
what may be said to the contrary. the adoption of
nrilitarism on the part of Japan will be great dis
advantage to her. Militarism should never enter
into the calculation of our statesmen"

EASY COME, EASY GO.

From Maui comes the report of an 1Syear-old
Spanish girl with two children who after an expe-
rience with a Korean husband, wished to marry
again, the new subject of her ephemeral affections
being Filipino. There being delay in the issu.
ance of the marriage license, she changed grooms
and married another Filipino.
The story has its humorous aspects but now or
later it will probably turn into tragedy of some
sort-none the less tragedy because the principals
are poor and obscure. What it does illustrate pow

cAREI.EssNEss OR INCOMPETENCE


In two recent plantation railroad accidents more
than half a dozen lives have been lost. The first
accident that near Hama, Maui, was blamed upon
the Japanese engineer of the victims. and thus
the coroners jury in effect found that the horrible
accident was needess-the result of careessness or
incompetence. '...-:". ..@ +:
The details of the accident at Waipahu last week.
in which two men were killed outright and eleven
others injured, suggest that this too entirely
needless aceident-that carelessness or incOmpe
tence on the part of someone of the operating crew
was responsible for the tragedy. -" i
Plantation railroads are exempt from the super
vision and control of the public utilities commits
sion. There is no public oversight of their opera
ton. These frightfu accidents aud the frequency
with which others in which, fortunately, there
is no loss of life, indicate that unless plantations
exercise a greater measure of precaution, public
control will become necessity. The Oahu railroad
with it's splendid record of freedom from fatal acct
dent shows what strict care and diligent promotion
of efficiency among operating crews can accom-
plish.

The Hawaiian Volcano Research Association
shows signs of desiring to make its weekly volcano
reports more popular and has arranged for their
editing by L. ". de Wis Norton, to get them into
less technical and more readable language. The
association could do great deal to popuarize these
reports if it would supply them to all of the island
newspapers instead of only two-one in HilO
and one in Honolulu. Inasmuch as the association
desires publicity for the fine work being done the
volcano, the obvious move would be to make the re-
ports and photographs taken by the trained OBJ
available TO all of the island press instead of
small part. This policy of restriction has as much
to do with the lack of interest in volcano research
in Hawaii the fact that the reports are too long
and too technical.

ASQU|TH IS OUT
Eminent British Statesman Finds His
Difficulties too Great to
Overcome
Associated Press)
Associated Press)

London, Dec. 6.-Premier Asquith
resigned yesterday. In an announce
ment in a court circular last night,
the king said he was graciously pleas
ed to accept the resignation.
The premier's decision to resign and
advise the king to summon Andrew
Bonar Law to form new cabinet
came after day of extraordinary po-
litical excitement. After consulting
with the unionist leaders, Asquith
met his cabinet supporters and it is
supposed he explained to them that
he acted with almost insuperable diff
ficulties and intended to resign.
Asquith became premier in 1908,
succeeding Campbell Bannerman. In
conjunction with David Lloyd George,
Asquith was the author of many no
table reforms before the war.

EXPECTING A RECORD
BREAKING ATTENDANCE
High Class Attractions Promised at
the South Florida Fair


Tampa, Dec. 6.-With general ex-
hibits from twenty or twenty-five
counties, representing all sections of
Florida, assured the work of promot-
ing the South Florida Fair and Gas
parilla carnival, the dates of which
are February to 10, is now under
way. The construction of at least one
new building and the extension of the
grounds will be necessary to accom-
modate the increased volume and va.
riety of exhibits, for which free space
will be granted, as usual.
From now on the fair and carnival
will be extensively advertised and the
attendance is expected to be from
twenty-five to fifty thousand larger
than that recorded last February.
Amusement attractions of higher
class will be secured and efforts are
being made to stage the Gasparilla
carnival on bigger scale than ever
before. The railroads and steamship
lines are again offering extremely low
round trip rates from all points east
of the Mississippi river, and some
points west, and will make an effort
to double the patronage of last win
ter from Ohio river points.

New York, Dec 6.-The steamship

sunk without warning by a German
submarine 25 miles south of the Isle
Of Wight, Nov. 22nd, according to
members of the crew who arrived here
on the French liner Espagne from
Bordeaux.
fhe Lambert, the last of twelve
vessels built on the Great Lakes and
which a French line had agreed to
purchase, was being taken to Havre
for delivery when she was sunk, ac-
cording to the arrivals.
Engineer Edward Harrison said the
first knowledge the officers of the
Lambert had of the submarines pres
ent was when it sent shell through
the Lambert's bridge. The shelling of
the steamship continued while the
crew were taking to the boats. The
men rowed forty miles to the French
coast.
