event of the evening was an exciting

Ginty defended the question in an
unusually able manner, but were val

CHRISTMAS TREE MILEsToNEs.

The Star Bulletin is particularly glad that the
Boys Industrial School is going<to have Merry
Christmas tonight. ...~I -. ..s~
Something more than year ago this paper felt
its duty to be vigorous exposure of conditions at
the school under the then administration, and as
vigorous a demand for change in superintendent
and a square deal for the boys mprisoned--it was
"a prison then-in this corrective institution.
new superintendent, Mr.. Frederick Anderson
was installed the board of industrial school com
mssoners, taking hold at the first of this year

scleel is doing fine and useful work 1t has a
cadet corps, a band athletic teams, successful
honor system BOYS coming from its influence are
already showing themselves able to get down to
work and make something of themselves in this
world The attention attracted to the school by the
recital of conditions last year has worked what one
spectator describes as a revolution this year.
year ago at Christmas time the boys of
the ndustra school were given the first evidence in
long, long time that the outside world cared one
whit whether they lived or died They were given
a Christmas tree. 1t is to be repeated this year
The year that has elapsed has been of fine pro
gress for this school, progress which the StarBul
letin is very glad indeed to mention.

QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWER.

Ugly rumors have surrounded the construction OF
Piers g. 8 and 10 almost since the work began, and
the decision Of the harbor board to three 'out
side experts to investigate the conditions is the
right decision The fees of the experts will be com
paratisely small in proportion TO the Importance OF
their investigation.
The .le" incident at a board meeting few days
ago. with its startling turn yesterday when a terri
torial inspectors confession of his own falsehood
wasput the records adds to the need for inyes
igation by men connected neither with the contrac-
tor nor with the Office of superintendent Of public
works Here was a trusted employee employed for
years by the territory wEo covered up lie for many
weeks and whose falsehood put both the board and
particularly it's chairman, Superintendent Forbes,
in most unfortunate position. Morgan's confes-
sion pertains only TO the bulge of five inches in
Pier bulkhead. But there other matters in dis
pute between the contractor and the superintendent
How far has the latter been deceived in these? Have
other lies been told, other facts covered up? How
closely is the contractor adhering TO specifications
Particularly, how came ii that he was allowed tc
dump soft "fll' behind the wall before it pro
perly braced in froAt-thus making the "bulge' pos
sble. What concessions have been made by the sup.
efintendent OF public works?
The board is exactly right in its determination To
60 to the bottom of these questions. II Forbes
nisled by the statement of an employe into eyre
gious error, has he been mised other Important
points?

BEACH INSTRUCTIONS.

The attorney general has rendered the harbor
board clear opinion the matter of illegal OBJ
structions' on the beach, and the harbor board now
plans a crusade against such distractions. Success
to it,
The attorney general holds, in effect that any arti
fetal obstruction to travel between high and low
tide is Illegal and that the board having authority
the entire waterfront, has power to order such
distractions removed.
Several fences and walls on Waikiki beach are
said to be illegal, under this ruling More than a
year ago the superintendent ofpublic works was go.
ing tosee that they removed but somehow moth
ing was done. If we understand the temper of the
other members of the board they will not now stop
shortof action. Each year larger crowds paronize
the beach, and the residence districts back from
the beach build up, these Instructions become
of nuisance. The people have few enough places
of access to the beach, and those which are right
fully the public's should be maintained for it by
every vigor of official action.

NOT DUE TO THE SOLDIERS
Schofield Barracks, T. H.,
December 25. 1916.

Schofield Barracks, T. H.,
December 25, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: My attention has been called
to statement in your valuable paper
under date of December Ia. 1915, sup
posed to have been made by Mr.. w.
R. Castle, reference "Saddling of Iwi-
lei on Honolulu" Would you be SO
kind as to allow space for few words
by one who honestly thinks that Mr..
Castle is wrong?
In the first place Honolulu has been
burdened with a restricted district
since long before Fort Shafter or
Schofield Barracks existed ! know
that in 1898 and in 1904 1t had one,
and to be exact very flourishing
one. If | am not mistaken it was
wiped out once by fire; yet in some
manner it "saddled" the city again.
Now for the life of me | can't I'M
derstand why Mr.. Castle should make
such remark
Now | think that every one will
admit that the soldiers did not bur.
den Honolulu with a restricted dis
trict Cbecause it was there long be-
fore the soldiers arrived here for
station. That being admitted. the
truth, etc, why should Mr.. Castle de.
sire to wish it off on Fort Shafter or
Schofield Barracks, where the pride
Of home and family is as great as any
in Honolulu can boast?
1t seems but fair to say that Homo
lulu in getting rid Of its restricted dis
trict should make every effort to find
a proper place to dump it. and also
make endeavor to enfuse the same
sentiment among its citizens.
Very respectfully,
JOSEPH G. BYE,
Regimental Sergeant Major, 1st
Field Artillery.

The English papers, bitter as they in their
denunciations of Germany, sharp they are in
criticism of Mr.. Wilson, recognize this. After the
first German proposal was made public, the London

THE Allies cannot enter into peace negotiations on
the basis Bethmann4iollweg offers them, but they
must put their before the enemy and before the
world. They must state the terms which they are
prepared to negotiate and throw Germany the
