The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-10-05

Means of communication between
this country and Germany are so circum-
scribed that implicit reliance cannot be
placed in the cable dispatches which
seem to forecast resumption ofsubmarine
activity on a broader scale than has
yet been attempted and regardless of
neutral protests. This may be the
meaning of. Won Bethmann-H ollweg' S
speech in the Reichstag on Thursday. If
he has gone over to the Won Tirpitz idea
of ruthless warfare, the worst may
may be feared; but is difficult to recon-
Gle such change of attitude on the
Chancellor part with what we have
been given to understand he has been
doing to hold the fire-eaters in check.
Having carried the day against them
and having disposed of Won Tirpitz, it
does not seem likely that the Chancellor
would suddenly reserve himself. The idea
that Germany would take on another an
tagonist with the great resources of
the United States, and thus having the
world against her in arms would find it
easier to quit, might be entertained if
it were not for the fact that Germany
will need friends after the war con-
siderably more than she needs more
enemies during the war, even though
an additional one might help to save her
face. If she now determines to force
the submarine issue at the risk of bring
ing the United States into the conflict,
it will be because she sees a way to do
far greater damage to her enemies
than has yet been demonstrated to be
possible.

VISITING ANGLERSGUESTS TUNA !
CLUB; HANDSOME CUPS PRESENTED
James w. Jump F. K. BFnham and H. K Morris Urge Ha-
waii to Systematically Develop Facilities for Splendid
Game-FShing to Be Found in Local Waters

Hawaii has the game-fish and Ha-
waii Is advertising to the world that
game-fishermen are wanted and wei
come here. Now II is up to Hawaii,
and particularly the Hawaii Tuna
Club, to organize and develop the Ia
cilities so that the anglers from
abroad may be assured they can get
fish If they come.
That was the outstanding point
made by James w. Jump of Los An
geles before a crowd of fishing and
promotion enthusiasts who filled the
Chamber of Commerce assembly room
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Jump. F. X. Burnham OF MAJ
tinez, Cal, and H. L. Morris OF Den
Iver, all of whom have been fishing
with marked success in local waters,
4 were the guests Of the Tuna Club yes
lterday afternoon at an open meeting.
They were asked to talk not only
about fishing methods, but about what
Hawaii should do to encourage game
fishing, and the resulting talks we're
straight from the shoulder, informal
and convincing. Mr. Jump illustrated
/ his talk with frequent references to
fishing tackle, the big table and sew
eral cases being stocked with the
things which delight the anglers eye
and arouse his sporting instinct.
Here are some Of the strong points
made by Mr.. Jump and reiterated
more briefly by Messrs. Burnham and
Morris.
l. The Hawaii Tuna Club should
See that proper boats and boatmen are
provided for visiting anglers, the Wis
itors always being willing to pay q
fair charge.
q Hawaii can furnish fish at much
Hess average cost than any other place
because of the large numbers here.
Every tuna of 100 pounds or ove-
caught at Catalina costs the lucky
angler on an average of $4,000, owing
to time and money spent in getting IT,
3. Big fish can be caught off Oahu.
These waters should be tried thor
bughly.
4. Reliable weighers should be ap.
pointed to officiate on each island AMI
certify to weights.
s. gnt tackle. capable of landing
a fish Of 100 pounds, consists of SIX.
ounce tip, a butt OF less than IA
inches, and a nine-thread nne.
S. Heavy tackle consists OF a 1G.
ounce tip and 24-strand line. The
reel which he demonstrated with cost
$50, but the speaker observed that
very good results could be obtained
with a $40 rod and q $40 reel, the
quality of the latter being especially

Mr. Burnham also spoke Of the
splendid work the Hawaii Tuna Club
can do and Mr.. Morris repeated hos
pitable invitation he has already ex-
tended to visitors to 60 along on his
handsome power boat. Dixie Maru, for
company.
Anglers who travel thousands OF
miles here to go fishing expect to get

telligence sheets that would do credit
to many continental burgs large
enough to make five Honolulus.
while this applies to both the
morning Pacific Commercial Adver-
tiser and the evening Honolulu Star
Bulletin. special praise is due the Star
Bulletin. because of the much greater
haste required in an evening papers
operation. for its splendid and unex-
celled picture service.
Each day of the Carnival saw the
Star-Bulletin's first edition on the
streets at the regular hour. laden with
pictures illustrative of the latest Car
niyaI doings. A later edition carried
later photos. and the public was given
tip-top satisfaction. Such work helps
boost the city and speaks eloQuently
for the editorial and mechanical
staffs."
