FIGHTING FOR
PEACE LOVERS
Vis3ount Bryce Says Trium
plant Germany Would be
Menace to All Nations.

London, Eng, March 29.-Viscount
Bryce, former ambassador at Wash
ington, has written an article on The
attitude Of Great Britain in the pres
ent war" in which he says:
We in Britain who respect and value
the opinion Of the free neutral peoples
Of Europe and America cannot but de-
sire that those peoples should be duly
informed Of the way i'm which we re-
gard the circumstances and possible re
suits OF the present conflict"
Lord Bryce says there are five prin-
ciplcs on which the aims and ideals
Of Britain in the present crisis are
essentially different from those Of
Germany. Continuing he says:
The English Ideal.
sour English ideal for the future is
Of a world in which every people shaH
have within its own borders a free ma
tiOnal government resting on, and con-
forming to. the general viii OF its
citizens. a government able to devote
its efforts to improving the condltlon
Of the people without encroaching on
its neighbOrs, or being disturbed by
the fear of an attack from enemies
abroad. LEGISLATORS and administra-
tors have already tasks sufficiently
difficult in reconciling the claims
different classes, in adjusting the I'M
terests of capital and labor. in promot-
ing health and diffusing education and
enlightenment, without the addition OF
those tasks and dangers which arise
from the terror Of foreign war.
Il cannot believe that the German
people. as / have hitherto known them'
ever since I studied at German unl-
versitv more than so years ago, cOulo
possibly approve Of the action of their
government if their government sur
fered them to know the facts relaI-
ing to the origin and conduct or tne
war as those facts are known 10 Ihe
rest Of the world. We have mad no
hatred Of the German peOple. We ala
not grudge them their prosperity
Neither have we any wish 70 oreah

unity or to interfere in any way with
her internal politics. Our quarrei IS

country and believe that in fighting
aeainsi its doctrines its ambitions. its
methods of warfare. we and our allleS
are virtually fighting the battle OF Gil
peace-loving neutral nations as well

Must Fight Till Victory Won.

won, for q government which scorns
treaties and wages an inhuman warfare
against innocent non -combatants can
not be suffered to prevail by such
methods. a triumphant and aggres-

well as Of the land, would be menace

western hemisphere"
Lord Bryce concludes with a plea
for a league of peace. THE obstacles
I'm the way of creating such league
are many and obvious" he says, but
whatever else may come out of the war,

ONE DUTY FOR THE CONVENTION.

The Republican territorial convention which as
sembles next Monday should repudate the reaction
airy city charter prepared for report the legs
lature.
1t should repudate this vicious piece of spokesman $
legislation by plank in the territorial platform pldeg
ing the party to thorough going and progressive rev
sion of the present charter 1t should make
doubIy sure by denouncig in plain terms the charter
document which is the creature of the local con-
Vention held under authority of law passed by the
last legislature
Otherwise one more successful step will have been
taken by those preparing to put over the char
ter with all of its defects, with all of its oopholes,
with all of its opportunities for political exploitation.
Cnrepudiated, this charter draft will be reproach
to the party throughout the coming campaign It
will be reproach to the party at election time and
wall be reproach to the party during the municipal
campaign next spring
Rumor already is assigning fat city jobs to some
of the men who helped put, over this charter draft.
AS for the great majority of the convention delegates
they were too indifferent to notice what was going
on. or too selfish to care, trying to get
good charter but out-voted and out-maneuvered by
the professional politicians who wanted worthless
charter. .'-".~
As the charter draft will be presented to the next
legislature it is moulded for rnachne-politics and
PINNED for patronage-peddling The Republican con-
vention will win big hold on the taxpayers and
right thinking people of Honolulu if it repudiates
this child of the professional politicians.

Kaiutani Grounds Devoted to
~ Summer Use; College Club
Sponsor for Plan

4 NY doubts that Honolulu's first
~ and experimental - vacation
school, would be a bowling sue
cess fled into the distance yesterday
afternoon when Mayor Lane, Mrs. P.
L. Weaver, Mrs w. ]. Forbes, presi-
dent of the College Club; President
Harrington of the AID Club and other
grown-ups gave the formal touches to
the opening of the school at the Kaiu-
lani grounds
The children themselves had open
ed the school hours before, and had
spent most of a happy, busy day on
the grass of the big, shady grounds
under the trees, frolickirg in the
swings, playing basketball and base
ball and hundred other games, and
generally enjoying themselves.
Tired. mothers and big sisters, sit
ting around on the grass with great
relief in their eyes, had also opened
the school.
Os course the mayor and the band
and some speeches were in order to
give sort of tone" to the opening
day, but the kiddies-hundreds and
hundreds of them-didnt need any
officials or band music to make them
know that something new and mighty
nice was happening.
And when Mrs Mary Moore, who
has charge of the experiment and has
worked hard on the preliminaries,
stepped up on a bench and told the
children 1t made her very happy to
see so many of them and find that
the plan was going to be a success,
she meant every enthusiastic word of
it. .&1.F
The school opened at 10 and Mrs.
Moore and her three assistants were
busy until the shadows grew long and
the children ;sstrayed home for din
ner. The little touch of formality
began about 35o'clock with the arrival
of Mayor Lane, Mrs. w. ]. Forbes,
Mrs. Walter r. Frear, w. R. Earring
ton, Superintendent of Instruction H.
w. Kinney and other visitors. The
band, seated under some huge trees,
played a: couple of pieces and then
Mrs. Forbes, Mr. Harrington, the may
or and Mrs Moore made brief little
talks. urging the children not only to
make the best use of the vacation
school facilities but to pass the word
along to other children.
As president of the College Club
Mrs. Forbes spoke earnestly and in
terestingIy to the children, impress
ing on them the necessity for physi-
cal and moral cleanliness.
There were youngsters there from
all over Honolulu. Some had come
several miles They we're of all ages,
sizes and nationalities; They all play
ed together joyously. Earlier in the
afternoon there was folk-dancing and
some organized games and later the
kids played just as they wished to-.
Mrs. Weaver of the College Club,
which is sponsor for the movement,
was on the grounds most of the day.
Mrs. Moore's three assistants, Eliza
beth Spencer, Edna Morris and Hazel
Hoffman, did valuable work in help
ing to look after the children, to reg
lister them, and to keep the games
going.

OAHU DIRECTORS
TELL PLANS TO j.
STOCKHOLDERS
Owners viii, Receive One New
Share for Each Five
They Hold +.

Letters were this morning received
by stockholders of Oahu Sugar com
pany detailing plans OF the directors
fer increasing the capitalization of the
company by the issuance sof a stock
dividend
The letter relative to Oahu shares
says that the annual statements show
that after making conservative de-
auctions for depreciation. there has
accumulated substantial profit and
loss account and that there will also
have been expended this year $500, 600
in connection with extension of the
plantation and the Waiahole water
project; that this has come from the
profits and that the stockholders are
entitled to the benefit. 1t submits
the proposition that the capitalization
be increased from IS 600 900 to $4,000.
600 and that one share of new be
issued to holders for each FIVE of old
without further payment and in lieu OF
profits put into the business of the
company. -. <.
The letter continues that 1T appears
in addition to paving regular monthly
dividends of per cent by the com
pany VIII probably be in a position to
pay extra dividends of 4 per cent. ,
From 1000, 900 to s.; 250, 900 will be
needed to raise the production OF the
mill to $4,000 tons and that later il
must be determined whether this shall
be paid from the earnings or whether
there shall be an issue of assessable
stock.
Waiahole Water company is owned
by Oahu Sugar company, has CAPT
talization of $1,000, 900 and an oyer,
draft on the latter company of 1884,
500, so it is recommended that such
capitalization shall be raised to 81
500, 00et
Pioneer Mil Plans Increase.
Monday the directors of Pioneer
Mill company met and called a stock
holders meeting to be held July q
to decide upon plans to increase the
capitalization of that company and the
payment of a stock dividend. 1t Is
understood that an increase of $1,000.
900 is to be recommended which
would give present holders one new
share for each four shares they hold
A letter explanatory is likely to soon
