AND now we have another way to
IL raise money to help the suffering
ones in the hospitals and on the bat
tlefields in sunny France. as she has
80 often been called-France, which is
making such a magnificent stand in the
last weeks at Verdun. The money will
be raised by means of a private view
of the marvellous loan collection of John
Howard McFadden at the Academy of
the Fine Arts this afternoon. The collec-
tion includes the work of the eighteenth
century English artists, than which
there is no other collection so thor
oughly representative of the time, not
even in the Metropolitan Museum. 1t
Is the first time in the history of the city
that so great a private collection has
been loaned, and the value of the paint
ings is something colossal, though Mr..
McFadden does not seem to think at
all of their financial value, but with
true appreciation judges them for their
artistic value, which is greater far than
mere money to him. / have heard that
the collection is insured for at least
million and a half. The Academy, of
course, realizes its responsibility in
hanging and housing an exhibition so
valuable, and they tell me the rooms
will never be left unguarded night or
day. The direct beneficiaries of the pri-
vate exhibition will be the "Fraternite
des Artlstes."
The women who are in charge of the
private view include Mrs. Cornelius Ste.
venson, Mrs. John Howard McFadden,
Mrs. Charles e. Dana, Mrs. Eli Kirk
Price, Mrs George Wharton Pepper,
Mrs. Clarence Clark zantzinger, Mrs Ed.
ward H. Coates, Mrs. Edward T. Stotes-
bury, Mrs. Jasper Yeates Brinton, Mrs.
George L. Harrison, Jr., Mrs. William
Mrs. John Frederick Lewis The affair
will be given from until o'clock,
when all these women will receive the |
guests. Tea will be served and music I
will entertain the guests during their |
stay.
The Joseph B. McCalls will give a |
dinner-dance tonight at the Philadelphia |
Country Club when the guests will be |

Is chaperoned throughout the winter by
Mrs. ]. Louis Ketterlinus. The affair
will be given for the McCalls' daughter
and sons, Lenore Mccall Howard Nc
Call and Joseph B. Mccall, Jr.
Sedgley Club luncheons will start to-
day. They really are great fun, you
know. One or two members-or one
member 1 believe it is-takes charge of
each Thursday on which it is decided
to serve luncheon; she asks several other
members to act as aides and then they
all proceed to cook and serve the lunch
con themselves. 1t is a joyous sight to
see these fair cooks in chiffons and vel
vets and silks covered with miniature
aprons serving the lunchers with dainty
dishes cooked in casseroles of brick.red
pottery. Really the food is delicious,
and members are usually crazy to take
their friends to these most enjoyable
affairs The luncheons will be held this
year today and on the first three Thurs
days in May.

that he took the only method of assuring Uncle

Berlin also holds that morally the sinking of
the Lusitania was justified by the British
blockade of commerce.
With such reasoning no neutral nation, least
of all the leading neutral nation, could agree
without at once agreeing to the thoroughly bad
doctrine that in warfare the policy of reprisal
justifies any measure whatever.
Nor would Germany hold to such doctrine,
we believe, except as it gives the Teutons pos
sbIe lever to attack the British blockade. Ger
many's attitude all along has been that the
United States should make more vigorous
protest to the Allies than has been made, and
by this attitude Germany has given the impress
sion that she will trade an apology for the Lusi-
tania for action by America which will amel-
iorate the blockade
The presidents later speeches indicate that
he realizes as the country realizes, the futility
of continual note-exchanges. When the first
Lusitania notes were written, the United States
believed that their emphatic tone meant either
speedy compliance by Germany or a break in
relations. Now the people of this country do
not know what our notes mean-whether ac-
ton or merely diplomatic conversations. And
when the people of democracy do not know
what the government means by its utterances,
they cannot be expected to keep on giving
whole hearted support to those utterances.
The German government perhaps is begin
ming to understand more fully the position of
America, which has probably been made clearer
to the German foreign secretary than to the
American people. Indemnity is not wanted by
the United States; what is wanted is state
ment from Berlin which recognizes that the
very least reparation acceptable to this gov
eminent is assumption of responsibility and
apology by the German government. Other
wise, there is no constructive basis for future
relations. =. ,....

AGAINST TAX RATE INCREASE

| Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: II would seem that the action
OF our tax gatherers in abstractiIg or
! threatening to abstract certain
amounts of salaries from delinquent
taxpaying city and county employees
has had the desired effect, and the
Golfers of the city have benefited to
"a certain extent. This move is to DE
commended, for be it known that the
man who pays his taxes when they
are due, and on an honest return, en-
joys nothing more than seeing the man
who is attempting to sneak out of IL
get his.
There are rumblings now of an in.
creased tax rate. That there should
be no increase in the present tax rate
can be made clear to anybody who will
take the trouble to look into the rec
ord of living taxpayers. That record
will show the amounts now paid by
men of large affairs to run between
the ridiculous and the sublime.
Paying taxes through a corporation
in which one may be heavily interest
ed is no excuse for not paying taxes
on some palatial home in the city's
suburbs.
The public would take much interest
in reading over a list of names Of
men who make returns on a paltry
amount of household furniture and the

THE KNOCKERS.
- E

Superintendent Forbes adds another clincher
to the evidence that Hawaii is being damaged
in Washington by the persistent knocking
of individuals who answer perfectly to the
somewhat vulgar description of "soreheads "
The chances are that if George Washington
or Abraham Lincoln were in Hawaii and men,
toned for public office a lot of chaps reeking
with disappointment and soured sentiment
would rush on. mass of letters telling every
body from the president to the doorkeepers
that Washington was thief and Lincoln an
incompetent nincompoop, and that anyway
neither of them was good party man.
The president and his cabinet officers are
heartily tired of it; the department officials
are tired of it; Hawaii also is tired of it.
The mostl cheering fact is that the chronic
kickers are. beginning to defeat themselves.
The more they howl and the wilder they rave,
the more their grievances are discounted. 1t
Is well sometimes to let them blow off steam
here at home SO that the people of the territory
can size them up accurately and ignore them
accordingly

ASSOCIATED PRESS IMPART1AL1TY.

Shortly after the war broke out, Germans and
German sympathizers in the United States be-
gan to complain that the Associated Press
wasn't treating the Teuton cause fairly, and
there were even insinuations that this news
agency was under Allied influence. That the
Germans have reached different conclusion
after experiences Of year and half with As
ISOLATED Press war news is indicated by the
following statement. 1t was made recently by
DIR. G. J. Hexamer of Philadelphia, president
of the National German American Alliance:
I'm the United States / can say that the As
ISOLATED Press has tried to be fair in the dis
semination of news reports. The cables from
Europe have been distorted and colored, but
that hasn't been true of the Associated Press
matter originating and telegraphed through the
United States. Individual newspapers have
printed lot of stuff about myself that hash t
been true at all and credited me with wild as
sertions that have never thought of making,
but that doesn t apply to the press service" :
