Lieutenant Governor Andrew j.
Bethea has returned from Europe,
where he went on a peace expedition
with Henry Ford MIR. Bethea says
the German people are the most eX-
acting he has ever seen. When he
entered German territory, he was
searched very minutely, and even his
medicine chest was closely examined
to see if it contained explosives. Each
medicine was tested by dropping
some of it into the fire to see il it
would explode The Germans do not
do things by halves. They were
thoroughly prepared for this war,
and the Allies are becoming more
and more convinced of this fact every
day. There is an object lesson in
what Mr.. Bethea says about the Ger
mans for America. What if this
country had to go to war with a
country like Germany? And yet
there are countless thousands, in
Guiding such illustrious men as Bry-
an, who do not want this country to
even have an army or navy.

That the system of treatment in

tain remedy for chicken pox or sore
head, the disease that has made it al

Quoted experiments with flock of
black minorcas owned by H. P. Fish
er of Olaa, Hawaii, and although they
were almost all i'll with the disease
when he arrived and 100 of the 800
III the flock had already died, almost
all of the birds were saved by the
vaccine injection.
Already, the veterinarian says in his
report, numbers of people who had
given up chicken raising as almost
hopeless, have told him they would go
in the business again if the chickens
can be successfully protected against
sore-head.
The veterinarian says there is abso-
lutely no doubt of the efficacy of the
treatment. Further experiments are
being made with flock of young tur-
keys in Nuuanu valley, which are af-
flicted with the disease in the worst
form and if this experiment is success.

from the University of Warsaw is soon to be
distributed among Russian prisoners OF war.
| The committee already has the names and
addresses of $4,000 German soldiers on the
various fronts with whom correspondence has
been opened pertaining to special books that
are desired. AS fast as it is possible to obtain
the volumes they are forwarded to the trenches.
A feature of the work is so-called wandering
libraries containing books of all sorts, for both
officers and men. which are sent to one com
panv. read and sent on to another. There are
also a number Of so-calIed field gray books
which have gray paper covers and are adapt
able to use in the trenches
Two Americans, Conrad Hoffman and James
E. Springer, are actively engaged in the work
of supplying reading for prisoners of war and
for soldiers. They formerly were active in
English camps and then came over to Germany
to continue their work I'LL +.
The efforts of the committee to erect sol
diers' homes has resulted in the construction
of Is buildings at cost of from three to five
thousand marks apiece, where thousands OF
soldiers are cared for and given some of the
creature comforts of home.
Through the generosity of Americans, eleven
reading rooms and recreation halls for prison
ers of war have been erected in camps through
out Germany. The average cost of these
buildings has been 5000 marks ($1500) but in
many cases camp commanders have added large
sums from their personal fortunes in order that
libraries might be more ornate or spacious.

ROTARY CLUB ASKED
TO HELP BOOST FOR
DECORATION PLANS

At the meeting of the Rotary Club
at luncheon today Harry Strange of
the Carnival decorating committee
asked for the cooperation of the mem
bers of the club and told number
of difficulties that had been encoun-
tered in planning for the decorations.
The first suggestion that was made
was to have streamers stretched
across the street, but the committee,
according to Mr.. Strange, found this
to be impractical.
The committee had planned on hav.
ing number of decorations along the
streets, and palms will be used to dec
crate the poles along the principal
thoroughfares. The Hawaiian Electric
Company has arranged to illuminate
the capitol, and the Honolulu Gas
Company will have lighted aloha"
on one of the principal streets, accord
ing to Mr.. Strange.
H. o. Blaisdell, the typewriter ex-
pert, demonstrated to the members Of
the Rotary Club the speed that could
be obtained by continual practise.

Certificates Of
BIRTH GOING TO
BE ISSUED AGAIN

Issuing OF birth certificates IS again
TO be taken up by the territory on
February l. according to announce
ment made today by Secretary Wade
Warren Thayer, who abandoned the
scheme soon after coming into the
present office. 49,. ~>|
II is estimated that several Thousand
people, mostly foreigners with chill
dren born here since the abandon
ment Of the. certificates, are waiting
TO get proper record made of these
births -
Because OF the fact that the fed
eral bureau OF labor utterly refuses
10 pay any attention to these terri
tortal certificates, | abandoned the
plan OF issuing them. said Mr.. Thayer
today, "and for a year and a halt
have been endeayoring 10 bring about
some understanding with the depart
ment whereby the certificates would
have some value to holders upon going
from here to the mainland " .-- /.
SO far Thayer has received no word
that any more consideration will be
given the certificates in the future
than in the past. except letter from
the secretary of the interior saying
that the labor department is giving
the request consideration.
Feeling that the territory could not
wait longer in the matter. | have gone
ahead and decided to resume the GER
tifcate plan,% says Mr.. Thayer, but
have changed it considerably from the
old system.
"One of the changes is to allow
renewal of certificates every five years
If so desired by the holder. This is to
alloy for the taking of new photo
graphs Of the holder"
Renewal will not be required Of per-
sons, it will be allowed them as a
though a fee of S. will be
charged for each renewed certificate.
The secretary of the territory is given
authority to make the issue by ter.
ritorial statute.

"AMERICANIzING HAWAII. :"

That Hawaii is not making substantial pro
gress toward Americanization IS not a new
Thought for Commissioner General Of Immigra
ton Camineit He has expressed it before
so that its repetition in his annual report is nc
surprise to the territory.
But the passing months since he first uttered
the statement do not seem to have brought
the commissioners general any nearer solution
of the problem of 'Americanizing" Hawaii.
He speaks again of getting more emigrants
from the mainland but is vague as to what in
ducements can be promised them. Tentatively
he talks of offering public lands to prospective
settlers.
As matter of regrettable fact, Hawaii
knows that the public lands available for home
stealing are exceedingly meager. Governor
Pinkham has reduced the situation to figures
which are conclusive proof that the territory
cannot provide for white homesteaders suffi-
cient to offset appreciably the Oriental pre-
ponderance of population. And Governor Pink
ham in later set of figures showed the futility
of some Of the homesteading attempts of not
distant date. The lands soon passed into the
leasehold and control of the plantations. Eco
nomic conditions wrested them from the hands
of the entrants.
The Americanization of the islands is not
matter of overnight accomplishment 1t can
not be forced as hot-house growth. 1t is a
matter for the evolution of decades. Largely
it consists in making plantation life more at
tractiye to the younger generations of all
bloods, and thus developing citizenship con-
tented and modestly prosperous. So long as.
the islands are Overwhelmingly devoted to one
industry, the status of labor and small employ
ment in that industry will be the principal
leaven in the loaf of territorial population.
And to assure contentment and progress on
the part of plantation labor requires not only
the sympathetic foresight and initiative of
plantation directors and managers, but GER
tainty that the industry itself will not be re-
duced to struggle for existence.
The administration of which Commissioner
General Caminetti is part will help materially
to accomplish the aims he and the territory both
desire if it assures the prosperity of the islands
by retention of the duty on sugar. Nothing
could more quickly drive Hawaii almost to en-
tire dependence on the most un-American
coolie labor than the removal of the tariff and
the inevitable fight with the cheap sugar
producing countries of Europe.

NOT A PRIVILEGE BUT A RIGHT.

IT is not a privilege but a right for Ameri-
cans to travel on the seas upon lawful business.
The repeated American notes TO the German
and Austrian governments do not plead for
privilege but demand rights. Yet Senator
Jones of Washington condemns as 'unpatri-
otic" Americans who travel in the war-Zone
and thereby endanger the peace of their cOun-
try. Certainly Americans who 90 iaunting
about the misunderstanding seas on mere
pleasure trips are hardly mindful of their duty
to refrain from all acts which may embarrass
their country in this critical wartime but
Americans with business to perform and with
duties to discharge must be assured Of life and
security when they travel on tile free seas.
These are not unpatriotic men.
When any government violently interferes
with this right of travel, the United States
must take action. IT would be highly unpa-
triotic of the United States administration not
to take action to uphold the inalienable rights
of its citizens

TIGHTENING SOME OF WARS GRIM
NESS.

The general belief that the hatred of one
European belieerent for another has almost
precluded the usual exchanges of prisoners
and cooperative relief work is not entirely we'll
founded. Little has been said Of the interna-
tional agreements by which some of the grim
ness of war has been little ameliorated but
such agreements are beginning now to be more
and more effective
Dispatches from Berlin say that between
France, England and Germany there has exist
ed for some time sort of working agreement
by which books in the three languages are ex-
changed for the benefit of the prisoners of war
in the three countries. Negotiations along the
same line are now being conducted with Russia,
and shipment Of 5000 volumes in Russian
