The circular carried with it an implied
threat. In il was threat, just as much
so as if the employer had added.

This may not have been the intention
of the Detroit employer.
He may have been sincere and it may
have been his idea to convince his men
by argument alone, but he chose a way
that fell into much disrepute many moons
ago
1t was used by certain class Of en-
ployers who entertained a view that the
men who were giving them their sweat
and who were wasting away for them
under almost intolerable working condi-
tons, belonged to them body and soul.
1t was their view that their workers
were to them as so many sheep to follow
meekly to the polls behind some false
leader.
But the American workingman began
of sudden to think, and his thought
brought about change
Thought convinced him that if the en-
ployer who would coerce him desired ;
certain candidate, that certain candidat,
ought to be the last man any worker en-
ployed by the man should want 10 vot,
for.

DEUTSCHLAND NEARS NORFOLK
READY FOR RUN TO SEA

Norfolk, Va, Aug. AT noon to-
day Norfolk and Newport News were
nearly blind from the strain Of look
ing across the tumbIing waters out
side Hampton Roads in the hope of
glimpsing sUper-submarine Deutsch-
land going by on her way out to sea.
Nobody realized the hope. DeUtsch-
land, by the best word reaching the
harbOr, was still somewhere between
Tengier island and the harbor. At 9
o'clock she was reported Is miles
below Tengier island and slowly
nearing Cape Charles. It was conf
IDENTIFY expected she would slip
through the mass of waiting craft
here soon after noon.
The Deutschland passed Tangier
island, so miles up from Cape
Charles, at 600 o'clock this morn
ing, but had not been heard from
nearer Norfolk at $50 a. m. In this
port it was believed she might not
come into Hampton Roads until
nightfan.
Some possibility that the Deutsch-
land would shoot on out through the
capes without touching here was
seen in the fact that the thick wealth
er Of early morning made conditions
perfect for the hazard. Heavy haze
concealed boats at distance Of two
miles.

ELECTRIC FRONTIER
BARRIER Is FOUND
T0BE EFFECTIVE

THE HAGUE, Netherlands.-A cur
ious exchange arrangement has been
made between Dutch and Belgian
farmers on the frontier Last year the
German troops in Belgian territory
made it exceedingly difficulty for the
Dutchmen who owned or rented land
over the border to harvest their crops
and, profiting by the experience then
gained, many Hollanders have this
year. at any rate in the province of
Limburg, entered into agreements
with Belgians owning lands on Dutch
territory under which the latter are
harvesting their crops, and vice versa.
The parties concerned do not always
get their exact share, but the electric
frontier barrier, which runs along the
entire Belgian frontier up to and
along the river Meuse, has practically
forced the respective owners to make
arrangements whereby each can re-
main in his own country 49,. ..
For nothing of any sort or kind is
allowed over OF through the fiyefold
row of wires that stands about Z feet
high. So anxious are the Germans

not to go off half cooked again where
the militia Is concerned"
A careful analysis of the above con-
rlnces me that the writer thereof is
not overpatriotic and desires to be-
little the services of the local guard.
IT is doubtful as to whether a single
member of the guard, officer or en-.
listed man. will feel flattered upon
learning that the proffer of his Ser,
vices by the governor to the United
states at time when war apparently
threatened, have teen publicly termed
foolish.
When the governors of states from
Maine to California proffered the ser
vices of the militia of their various
states to the president, were their
offers deemed foolish?
AS to the sweet dislocation CT
things which the writer predicts
would have occurred had the local
guard been modified three months
ago and sent to the Mexican border
for another like period, how many
such sweet dfslocations" have been
cheerfully accepted in cities and towns
located in all parts of the great United
States? The example set by the Cana
dian and Australian troops in rushing
to the aid of England in the present
European war is one that might well
be followed by any colony and puts
to shame the sentiment throughout the
above editorial. Why should not the
National Guard of Hawaii offer its ser
vices to the United States, which
arms. equips and to a certain extent
pays it?
The cowardly term, the narrow
escape" appearing above, If read
throughout the mainland would give
the people the impression that the
members of the National Guard here
were shirkers, while were the truth
known, or the matter put to a vote
among the members of the guard,
Delieve every member would volunteer
his services for duty on the Mexican
border tomorrow.
During the present stirring times,
with the Mexican situation far from
settled. and other serious situations
constantly occurring with the warrilg
nations of Europe. it appears to ME
that the above article is uncalled for
and is manifestly unjust and unfair
to the National Guard of Hawaii,
which has been faVorably compared
with the National Guard of various
states. -.-s ..

COOPERATE FOR A CLEANER
CITY

Editor Honolulu Star-Bunetin.
Sir: The council of the Inter
Church Federation met at Cooke hall
of the Y. NJ. c. A. recently to discuss
the new problem of so-called medical
inspection at Iwilei as recently or
dered by Sheriff Rose.
Among other aspects of the prob
lem that were considered, special men
ton was made several times Of the
strong and vigorous editorials that our
two leading papers have been giving
us. II was unanimously voted to send
letters of appreciation and common
dation to these editors, expressing
the hearty support that the pastors
and laymen feel in this matter.
We therefore, take keen pleasure
in writing the StarBulletin our word
of approval, and also wish to say that
the Inter-Church Federation stands
ready to cooperate with you in any
way possible to defeat this socalled
protective medical inspection at
Iwilei
We trust that this problem will be
followed up to finish and that def
mite results for a cleaner Honolulu
will be obtained.
Very truly ycurs,
The Council OF the Inter-Church
Federation.

Nov that the secretary of war has

their turn in the Mexican border

foolish proffer of the services of the
National Guard Of Hawaii was not
taken up by the department Wouldnt

A DANGEROUS GAME.
From the Minneapolis Journal

From the Minneapolis Journal
President Wilson is permitting the country to get
into the most peculiar position relative to the de
uands of the railway brotherhoods. He received
the delegation of brotherhood men with open arms,
committed himself 10 the eight hour proposal with
out knowing anything about what the railroads
could do in the matter and then sent for the railroad
0licials and practically instructed them to yield.
The railroad presidents made it clear that the
ronds cannot under present conditions earn enough
topay for an eight hour day, which is practically an
annual Increase in wages of $50,000,000 and that
The country would have to pay the bill by submitting
to higher freight rates.
We have here the strange spectacle of 100000
men asking the people of the United States to pay
them an extra $5OOOO0OO year, without even Civ.
inc the railroads chance to be heard the merits
Of the proposition. If the people of the United
states are to pay this sum to what is already the
best paid labor in the country, where will the thing
end?
The million other employees Of the railroads who
have never had an advance, speaking broadly. have
