Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1916-04-24

Judging by the inquiries local newspapers
receive these days, Honolulu is more interested
in the sugar tariff than in a possible war with
Germany And what chiefly seems to concern
those who ask about the German situation is
that the transportation of Hawaiian sugar
might be disorganized in case of a break in
relations. Is it pocket patriotism or merely a
comfortable belief that somehow Uncle Sam
will get past the crisis safely?

Shut, 'if the bueyer knows the rep

antee offered by the manufacturer.
The problem of obtaining an engine
that not only will meet the needs Of
the present condition of the farm but
will also take care of those arising in
the future is one which requires
much thought. The dealer is familiar
with the capacity Of each engine and
knows the amount of work each can
do. Any trustworthy firm is glad to
assist the farmer in purchasing ma
chine that will satisfy him provided
he states his needs"
The application of power to vari-
Gus kinds of work, Mr.. Shut points
out, is almost unlimited. Aside from
the general routine of farm work,
power can be employed in doing the
washing, pumping water, freezing ice
cream, ironing clothes, and general
ing electricity. Mr.. Shut warns
against buying an engine that is too
large or too small.

THE DEMOCRACY OF FRANCE

France was mostly joke, that the

hocracy also supposed that the

The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1916-04-07

shows that 1t is possible for an army
to be democratic and yet be great
fighting machine. The French army
is the most democratic in the world,
and certainly no one now doubts its
effectiveness Socially no line is
drawn in the French army between
the officer and the private soldier,
and yet that does not seem to destroy
discipline. It Is said to be no uncom-
mon thing for the French army Of
ficer to invite the private soldier to
dine with him, and those who have
visited France since the war began
to say it is a common sight in the
cafes to see the officers and privates
sitting at the same table, chatting
with one another, supping light wine
or taking other light refreshments
on terms of the most perfect equality.
Before going into action it is COM
mon for the officers to discuss the
plans with their men and talk over
what is expected from each.
In striking contrast with this plan
which has proved so successful in
France, our own army is modelled af-
ter the armies of the most autocratic
and tyrannical governments of Eu-
rope. We fix an impossible gulf be-
tween the commissioned officer and
the private. We force the officer to
act like snob and perhaps in time
to become one; we wonder that
American youths refuse to enlist in
the army, that those who do enlist
are apt to be dissatisfied, and that
assertions are frequent. We are now
proposing to double the size of our
regular army, but without changing
the plan. The result will be that il
will be twice as difficult to obtain
recruits, and that the number of de-
sertions will be doubled. The mill.
tary leaders of this country as a
rule learn nothing by experience

NsTGOvERNMENT FACTORY

AGAINST GOVERNMENT FACTORY
OF course, Senator Charles Curtis
is opposed to a government armor
plate factory. Curtis may always be
depended upon to oppose any meas
ure that might hurt his friends, the
corporations. He is friend OF cor
porations as against the people, first,
last and all the time.
Curtis gives as his reason for op-
posing the measure that we have no
money to waste, and government
plant would cost too much. That
isn't his reason at all. The real and
only reason is that he fears 1t would
hurt his friends.
All of the nations Of Europe which
are at war today had depleted treas
uries; all had gigantic national
debts; yet, they are spending stu
pendous sums of money for all kinds
of war tools, and most Of them own
and operate their own plants.
The United States is the richest
nation on earth, and yet, Curtis says.
we can't afford to own and operate
government armor plate factory.
But Curtis doesn't fool anybody with
his talk.-Garnett Review.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-ln a note
presented to Secretary Lansing today by
Count Won Bernstorff, German ambas-
sador, Germany assures the United
States that il has no intention of re-
voking the pledges given in the Lusi-
tania. case.
The note says Germany can conceive
of no reason for changing or pOstponing
the new instructions to her submarine
commanders to treat as warships enemy
merchant ships armed Extensively" and
that special precautions have been taken
to prevent ships that are not armed
from being attacked.
The note at the outset reiterates the
previous pledges, which were given on
September / and October >, last year.
for the safety of unresisting liners and
then goes on to say the German govern
ment does not believe those assurances
have been modified by the new memo
randum.
During the negotiations over the Lusi-
tania it says no mention was made OF
armed merchantmen, and that the United
States in one of its notes on the Lusl-
tania mentioned 'unarmed merchant
men" Attention then is called to the
assurances previously given in which
without warning, provided they do not
offer resistance. Affection also is called
to the statement of the American gov
eminent in its notice to port authorl-
ties that the presence of armament Oh
board a merchant vessel creates the pre-
sumption that the vessel is armed for
offense.
CAN'T EXPECT WARNING.
1t is stated that submarine COM
mander cannot be expected to warn
an enemy merchantmen which has a
right to fire on the submarine which
warns il. and the German government
sets up the contention that equipment
and intention to resist a warning given
nv a submarine does not come wlthln

Germany contends that similar view
noint was taken by the United States
and that il secured assurances from the
italian government that it's armed mer-
chant ships leaving American ports
would not fire on submarines Which
warned them.
The note then sets forth that tEe
German government did not issue It's
new instructions to submarine com
manders until after it had come INTO
possession of confidential Instructions
by the British government to the COM
n;anIers of British merchantmen. 1t is

ships of any description are peaceful
