The unfortunate conditions & af-

out into barren wastes, without water,

The government must come to the
same thing Had the government
years ago proceeded upon some such
plan the homesteading failures of Ha-
wait and near failures of Maui and
Oahu would never have been and we
would not have this Waipouli problem
on cur hands today. A plan of this
sort would have to be worked out sys-

have to be called upon for consider
able sums of money. These outlays
would all be charged against the prop

increased revenues from the sale Of
the land to the homesteaders.
"Jackass Administration"
What is now to be done for Wal
pouli we confess we are unable to
say. A year of delay has meant a
great deal--to say nothing of the
failure to start right in the first place.
The absolute sincerity of the Lihue
Plantation Company in it's efforts to
relieve the situation has not, to our
knowledge, been questioned by un-
biased authority on this island. The
plans of the rival interests conspicu-
ously mentioned in connection with
the matter have never been so gen.
orally and clearly understood. Almost
the entire blame for the deplorable
situation, however, is to be laid at
the door of our homesteading sys-
tenn, as indicated by our laws; the
backing and filling of governments,
all the way back to Governor Dole, on
settlement propositions, and the
jaekass administration of our home
steading laws by the land department.

London, Feb. &.-The fifth day Of the
tremendous battle north of Verdun,
which It is maintained by some experts
is likely to decide the fate of France, wa.
marked by a further German advanc'
toward the great French stronghold.
That advance was equal to the average
the Germans have maintained through
out the drive, about a mile day.
The main German force Is now only two
miles from the outer defense works.
Heavy German and Austrian guns, of Is
and 17-inch cabiber. have been brought
up and a shattering bombardment Of the
French works had been begun.
Fort de Belleville. Fort De Douaumont
and Fort De Marie are under the fire of
the big German guns, which are pound
ing away from their positions on an
eight-mile front between Consenvoys and
Ornes.
400 Guns Massed.
More than 400 guns are massed behind
the German front and the cannonade of
the French redoubts and forts is de-
scribed as the most sublime spectacle Of
destruction and thunder since the world
began.
French officers who saw the French
bombardment of the German positions
in Artois last spring, and the French
cannonade of the German positions in
Champagne last autumn. describe them
as mere displays of fireworks compared
with the tornado of steel which the Ger
man batteries are now launching.
So terrible is the fire of the big Ger
man guns and the reply of the French
artillery that the throbbing thunder Is

The few facts In the possession OF the

days out from Shanghai about ten days
ago when she was stopped by British
cruiser. The thIrty-eisht passengers, who
Il is thought are Germans. were trans
ferred to the warship.
partment calls for an explanation from
Great Britain of the improperly of the
removal of thirty-eight passengers from
a merchant vessel The department ex-
poets Great Britain to urge as a defense
that the passengers are German reserv-
lists and were on their way to the mill
tary establishment of Germany. This gov
eminent stands on the ground that nc
person can be taken by force from an
American ship. The fact that the China
was bound for San Francisco In itself
Is held to be sufficient denial of the
British contention that the passenger,
were en- route to Germany.
This newest protest belongs In the cate
CORY of the many violations Of the Law
of nations which have called for the
other protests by this government. The
State Department held In the Angus,
