DERRY SOLDIERS" SATISFACTORY.

Whether the hundreds of thousands of men
enlisted under the recruiting plan of Lord
Derby would turn out to be good material was
the question often asked by military authori-
ties when the plan was outlined. 1t appears
that the results are satisfactory. In CORE
spondence from London it is stated that the
5Derbyites are excellent material for soldiers
the verdict of a prominent general after an
inspection of large body of the recruits who
recently joined the army under the group sys-
tenn named after Lord Derby.
The Associated Press correspondent spoke
to many of the men, the majority of whom
showed keen interest in their training and viii
Elingly suffered the inconveniences of their new
profession.
The groups first called up were still going
through their period of setting up drill, and the
men were stiff and sore from the almost con-
tinuous Swedish exercises and routine marches,
which they start daily before breakfast and
carry on until dusk. 1t could be seen, however.
that even the short spell of strict military dis
cipline and physical training had made "a won
derful difference in the bearing of the men,
most of whom had previously led sedentary
lives in city offices and factories and seemed
visibly to fill out under the influence of the
open air and constant movement.
Virtually every district of the United King
dom was represented among the recruits, and
the various races Welsh, Irish, Scottish and
English-were easily distinguishable.

twelve months, is now condensed into four

SOME AssTRUsE FuNDAMENTALs

Honolulu, March s, 1916. 4
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: If you would settle the per-
picking military question why not go
right down to fundamental principles?
You will never settle it until YOU do.
Military discipline being the founda-
ton of civil government there should
be no friction between the man in the
ranks and civil society. AZ s.,
No soldier wants to be coddled by
petty trade shysters. Though the fact
Of the matter is, the soldier here as
elsewhere is merely using the army as
a stepping stone to some other phase
of existence; nevertheless the mill
tary is not a servile institution.
It is claimed 1or. Honolulu that these
Hawaiian islands are the ''melting-pot
of the. races" If so, well and good,
then she is democratic or nothing. As
the crystal of civilization gradually
takes on form in this crucible it can
not afford to ignore the progress of
the Occident of which it itself is a
prototype. -. .~ IT,. -.
Americas mission is to evolve order
out of the chaos of natural freedom
and yet retain its prerogative Order
is something substantial and funda-
mental. If there be civilization here
in Honolulu-if civilization means the
marble heart and order and justice
withal-what more can the soldier
ask? ..s... J.. ..-..:. ..-.:. z.>~
But this erueible is filled with a
Icompound such as the world has
never before witnessed. And there are
gases being infused which are calcu-
lated to develop crystals that the
most sanguinary dreamer of former
times dared not prognosticate. If civil
Hzation is measured by the light of
its crystal then it must enforce its
brillianee and be a thing of adde's
ceHce and admiration and of adaman-
tine firmness. H= 30 ~. q
In former times the citizen was
cast into mould that any amount of
versatility could not subyert, but to-
day, II the conditions do not lend them
selves to versatile ingenuity uhiver-
sal in scope they are absolutely a
menace to the rights and liberties as
promulgated by the writer of the Con-
stitution of the United States of Amer
lea. ~. H. .- 49,. ~"
In recognizing the army if our
peers are wise they will not overlook
this fact. Sentiment like water must
be kept moving else it becomes stag

100000 ENTIRELY INADEQUATE.

Cheap army post construction in Hawaii is
costly in the long run, and it is entirely made
quate now or at any other time
Army officers here know it and the business
community, with consistent and proper inter
est in army affairs on 0ahu, is also having the
matter brought to its attention in a timely
manner. ..::..-. ....
Cable dispatches say that the army bill, pre-
sumably reported on Saturday by the house
committee on military affairs, carries an APP
preparation of 100000 for Fort Shafter bar
racks. This sum is just e-third of what army
experts have estimated as the minimum for the
construction of buildings at Fort Shafter to
house the three new regiments expected to be
stationed there.
Three hundred thousand means a continual
ton of cheap and inadequate construction. 1t
means constant drain on army funds for re-
pairs. 1t means officers naturally dissatisfied
with their quarters and men naturally dissat-
isfed with their barracks. It means, in short,
buildings which cannot be objects of pride to
the community or of ordinary comfort to their
inmates
AT the present time the army authorities on
s 0alm are asking about $4,000 for much
needei REPAIRS due to the cheap construction.
And II has not been long since lively island
brca1a played havoc at 'Shafter and Schofeld
with some of this same cheap construction.
Oahu is growing, in military way, by huge
leaps Ultimately from $4,000 to $4,000 men
will be stationed here The adoption of policy
now of sound construction, along lines worked
OF kase, adapted particularly to Hawaii will
in the long run save Uncle Sam millions of
dollars. There never was a better example Of
penny-wise, poundfoolish than the proposal
10 construct here for $500, 900 quarters and bar
racks for three entire regiments
The Chamberlof Commerce took this matter
up yesterday and plans to urge, through its
representative IN Washington, that the appro-
priation be 100000 This is an eminently
proper and timely action. Delegate Kuhio is
now in Honolulu and it is hoped will use his
Influence to the same end.
!. The army bill is being hurried along in Con-
gress There is no time to lose. Other public
organizations can help along by hacking the
work to get an adequate appropriation for army
post construction here.

Lusitana improvement is the fact that the cost
is running higher than was expected and that
the city has to foot the difference-and the fur
Their fact that another delay of actual work is
in prospect. These are precisely the facts
pointed out by the Star Bulletin last evening
and if the facts have aroused city officials, some
service has been performed.
Viewed from the standpoint of an innocent
bystander, the whole paving situation in Homo
lulu appears as battle of rival contractors and
opposing interests, in which the board is get
ting more and more deeply involved. Whether
the contractors are going to run the city's af-
fairs is question the supervisors ought to set
tie in the negative now if they expect to make
a success of the rest of their term of office.

Some of the city officials are blaming j. A.
Gilman for developing tangles on the Eusitana
street and Kalakaua avenue paving. Deputy
City Attorney Cristy is quoted this morning as
! saying:
$3.50 am An 81 the woodwork attempted TO be done
the present board there have protests from
the property that the work specified by the
city would not be consented to- unless the spechca-
tons we're changed that instead Of concrete, btu
eis would entertan the proposition Of the improve
nssnf' hut not otherwise. Gilman has been at the
much much : any ether factor n tbs work.
The Star-Bulletin holds no brief for Mr.. Gil
man or for his paving but it is certain that IN
IS the Kaiakana az enue case the property owners
themselves asked for bitulithic or warrenite
and did it upon the advice of disinterested and
sseapable engineers. There was largely
attended meeting of the affected owners upon
the roof garden of the Young Hotel; they fay-
ored warrenite for Kalakaua avenue, and they
also favored getting it without further delay.
In this case, it was partly the opposing stand
Of two or three members of the board of super
visors and the advice of the city engineer that
delayed decision. Finally, as the city officials
know, the advocates of concrete made out such
a good case that combination of a concrete
base and bitulithie surface has been virtually
decided npon.
In this instance the property owners favored
warrenite and it was opposition among city
officials themselves which postponed the ulti-
mate decision upon the type of paving to be
adopted The property owners favored war
, renite because it had proved itself in Honolulu
and these businessmen who have to pay for
most of the cost of paving Kaakana avenue
were satisfied that warrenite has made good

PARALYSIS CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM
Helen, 6, Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Herbert A. Wyman, Died i'll Keene
Yesterday

KEENE, n. H., August 19-The sec
ond death i'll keene from infantile pa
ralysis occurred yesterday morning
about clock when Helen Elizabeth,
the xyears-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herebert A. Myman of Water
street, suecumbed to the disease.
There is no connection between this
case and any of the others, here or
elsewhere, so far as is known. The
little girl had been somewhat i'll since
Tuesday, but her trouble was not found
to be poliomyelitis until Thursday af-
ternoon, when the house was quaran-
tined. She suffered paralysis of the
respiratory organs and of the left leg.
The body was buried without a public
funeral.
While parents have no more reason
now for being afraid of the disease
than at any time heretofore, they NAV
take precautions against their children
catching the disease by spraying
throats, noses, and using care about
cleanliness of the home.
Mrs. Wyman, mother of the child,
formerly was Miss Sadie Saxton, adopt
ed daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. David
Frost of East Putney, Vt. Her husband
formerly lived in Westminster, Vt. She
had taken great precautions to keep
the child away from other children on
account of other cases of the disease
i'll this city.
