Whatever the technical engineering phases involv-
led in the Puunui street Improvement project debat.
ed last night at thespecial supervisors meeting the
issue is very plainly between social organization
the Country Club-which is controlled bv indyi-
dual and aggregate wealth. and the Puunui resi-,
dents who are neither rich nor powerful The Coun-
try Club was represented mainly by its attorneys
the Puunnl residents represented themselves and
their neighbors. The City Planning Commission
as impartial and competent a neutral BODY as can
be secured in this city-decded in favor of the Cir.
Gle Drive route against which the Country Club and
wealthy nearby resident emphatically protest The
latter, It Is stated has never attended hearing ON
the subject, his opinions being carried by his attor
ncy- One of the Country Club members said last
night that the Planning Commission decided for the
rcle Drive route because that is the pretty route
Such being the case, there are two arguments in its
jfavor-beauty and the support of large number OF
,Puunul residents who want it for practical reasons
II, as the attorneys maintained the Country Club
had much the best of the argument-a iattering tr
butte to themselves by the way-the Puunui resi-

INDORsiNG THE SCHOOL. SURVEY.

Oahu College trustees, recognizing the very un-
usual opportunity for prOgressiveness in the schools
of Hawaii which would come from federal school
survey, voted on Thursday to indOrse the plan of a
survey and put their institution on record as ready
to stand its share of the expense.
Mid-Pacitic Institute has already taken a similar
action. PROFESSIONALLY other private institutions
will adopt the same attitude f..
There has vet to be advanced one good argument
against the proposed survey and there are thou
sand good arguments in its favor. -
Hawaii should welcome with the utmost enthusi,
asm the opportunity here presented to secure this
inspection of public and private schools by the coun-
trys foremost educational experts 1t is an un-
paralleled opportunity for the schools. Hawaii
should greet the group of experts if they come with
the utmost cordially and prepare to carry out the
suggestions they may make.
Are the public schools to have this opportunity ?
If So an invitation must be sent by the territorial
authorities

CAPTIVE OF RUSSIANS
FINDS SELF FAMOUS
Released Austrian Surgeon Returns
to Vienna-Nobe1 Prize Win
ner in Medicine.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
VIENNA, July I0.-Entering the war
.as a volunteer surgeon little known
outside the circle of specialists of his
own class, DR.. Robert Barany of Vienna,
after fifteen months of captivity in
Russia, has at last returned as an "ex-
change invalid" to find himself famous
as the Nobel prize winner in medicine.
The knowledge which was the basis
of his prize-winning book was gained
chiefly as surgeon in Przemysl; the
book itself was written in captivity; it
has brought him 100000 crowns in
money, and 1t played no small part in
securing his release from Turkestan.
The dramatic circumstances surround
ing his achievement have greatly
heightened the effect of his return to
mitted to leave Russia because he is
slightly lame from affection of one
foot, from which he has suffered since
child. Actually, his unexpected dis
tinction, plus the efforts of Prince Karl
of Sweden, went far to secure his ex-
change.
Despite his lameness. DIR. Barany vol
| unteered for service at the outbreak OF
the war, and was detailed as chief sur
geon of the surgical department of q
hospital in Przemysl. 1t was while
there. as he modestly explains. that he
was so fortunate as to discover new
method for the treatment of head
| wounds" q discovery that enabled him
| to cure a vastly greater percentage OF
| cases than before.
| For four weeks after the fall OF
Przemysl the Russian commander al
| lowed the Austrian physicians to re-
main. Then in transports of about 10C
| they were sent to various parts OF
Russia, many to Siberia, the surgeon
and many others to Turkestan. Unlike
many others, DIR. Barsny, on his re-
turn. has reported almost universally
| good treatment In captivity, treatment
| that included a sufficiency of decent
| food, liberty not too restricted, and
pleasant professional relations with
Russian commanders and colleagues
Dr. Barany was given fairly ample
opportunity to study. to practice ant
to lecture on his speciality to Russian
and captive Austrian physicians.

SlAVERY'S DESTRUCTION
dBEST, SAYS Mr.. TILLMAN
South Carolina Senator Declares
Both North and South Paid for
Their Joint SIM"

Urging the passage of a BIN dealing
with the Arlington cemetery in the
Senate Saturday, Senator Tillman of
South Carolina said:
'1 never believed It possible that
could do it, but slowly and by degrees
have come to think that it was best
for all concerned that the south was
defeated in the civil war.
Slavery" he continued, was a
curse which had to be destroyed ere
the south and the world could advance.
1t was a curse for which the south was
no more responsible than the north.
Both sections were responsible and both
paid four long, bloody years of pen
ance for their joint sin. 1t had to go.
and while it went in the worst possi-
BILE way. and it's going gave birth to
an apparently unsolyable problem,
still i. who was born in and of the old
south. am glad it is gone never to re-
turn.
Il am glad, also, that the idea of ma
tionality has supplanted that of corfed-
GRAFTON, despite the danger involved.
And so. can find it in my heart to want
to make the amphitheater at Arlington
truly national in it's scope
The bill in question would provide for
the erection of tablet in the national
cemetery in memory of Col Gaillard. U.
S. A., who gave his life in the service
in the Panama Canal Zone. The bill
was not before the Senate for action
yesterday and Senator TiIlman made his
speech while the District appropriation
bill was pending.

night Purpose of Recent
$25, 900 Bond Issue.

The mayor and council of Takoma
Park. Md, will open bids this evening
for extensive improvements to the
present water system. Included in the
improvements will be the installation
of a new pumping plant and the erec-
ton of a new water tower, in addition
to the one now in use. These i'm
provements are in connection with the
construction of a new reservoir Tor
which the residents of the town recent
ly voted bond issue of $4,000.
The additional water tower and tank
is to have a capacity of $4,000 gallons
Of water. with alternate bids to be
submitted for a tank of 100000 gallons
capacity. The tank is to be OF the
hemispherical bottom type, provided
with steel roof and balcony, with iron
ladders inside and out, to point about
eight feet above the ground.
The town authorities intend to lower
the present tank to the level OF the
proposed tank until the new one mas

plant and connecting with the other
pumps through an approved friction
clutch coupling. The engine is to be
arranged so as to operate on either fuel

sition of supplying water to the resi-
dents of silver Spring. Md. will be one
of the important matters to be dis
cussed in the near future by the coun-
ell as a request was received some
