The great and unprecedented catac-
lysm in Europe has brought forth
many books of portentious size by a
large number of men of distinguished
reputation. Among them all, have
read none more worthy of the most
scrutinizing attention by Americans
than little volume, of the modest
size of dozen more than 100 pages,
by w. R. Castle, Jr., of Harvard Uni
versity, published by Dodd. Mead &
Company. .- ~. H..
Although the author does not say
as much, the little book was evident

1t is more than pleasure to read 1t

his facts and thought might have

The spirit of the book is fervently
patriotic, yet Mr.. Castle does not rant
and flourish the flag, dwell over-much
on the much worn shibboleths, pre-.
paredness," efficiency" etc., etc.
He strikes the fundamental prin.
ciple running through his theme in
the preface. Speaking Of our needs
and obligations as being many, our
shortcomings arise out of the crime
of "selfishness." The paragraph is
worth quoting. This selfishness dis.
torts our ideas of the relation of the
individual to, the government, of the
relation to each other of the individ-

IAssects.sd Press BY Pso.ral wirslsssl


WASHINGTON, d. c., April l.
Secretary Daniels appeared before
the house committee on naval affairs
again yesterday, continuing lis advo-
cacy OF the various sections of the
general navy bill before the commit
tee. He proposed yesterday to the
committee that instead of building
larger submarines, as provided in the
ill., the necessary amendments be
made to permit the building of three
S00-ton submersibles. Three submar-
ines of the Schley type are already
authorized, while the rest Of the pro-
gram could be completed by construct
ing with the balance of the submar-
inc fund number Of smaller vessels
OF the coast defense type. The secre-
tary suggested thirty Of the L or X
type. ~ II
More Great Docks.
Secretary Daniels said that the re-
quirements of the navy called for the
construction OF great drydocks at
both Norfolk and Philadelphia, with
an additional navy yard on the Pacific
coast, probably at Los Angeles or San
Diego, marine aviation and submar.
Inc base at San Diego.
The expenditure of at least $4,000
is called for In the clearing Of the APP
proaches to the navy yard at Charles
ton In order that that yard might be
approached by heavy draft ships.
Another suggestion Of the secretary
is that the bill should authorize the
rank of full admiral to be held by the
chief OF operation during his term Of
office.

here in Boston the telephone bill at
my family residence was for Novem-
Der $14.S6, Of which $l.5S was for
calls outside of the Boston exchange.
The charge here Is $4.25 for service
alone, and then SC call for all

some 300 calls over month.
But as long as they use a system
here, the expense of which increases
geometrically with the number Of

what our Honolulu friends would say
if household telephone in a family
