APPROVAL GIVEN
TO IMPROVEMENT
BY SUPERVISORS
Beach Walk Project Authorized
and Hearing Ordered for
King Street Plan

One step more was taken towards
the actual start of work on two i'm
provement projects last night. A call
for bids on the Beach Walk project
was authorized and June q was set
as the date fer hearing on King street
extension. The report of the city en-
gineer, George M. Collins. on the latter
project was received and approved.
Collins estimates the total cost OF
the work to be done in the district as
So, 233.50 and the details are as pub
lished yesterday in the Star-Bulletin.
Two Of the supervisors, Robert Hor-
ner and William Larsen, opposed the
laying of the proposed bitulithic and
crushed rock ON the street Larsen
voted against bitplithic as being too
expensive and not durable. He de-
clared it would not last even the five
years it is guaranteed for and that
the guarantee had been proved worth
less by the city's experience with
Queen street paving. He also oppos-
ed 1t because of the royalty payment
of % cents a square yard the con-
tractor pays to the mainland corpora
ton controlling the patent on the pro-
cess.
Other members of the board pointed
out that to postpone the improvement
by making further changes in the
specifications would probably mean
the death of the project. Supervisor
Hatch told of laying out the bounda-
ries of the district many years ago
when 1t was mere stretch of white
coral. and added that natures con-
crete made as good a base as any
and he would vote for the improve
ments as planned.
Beach Walk bids will be opened on
the 10th day after the insertion of the
first advertisement calling for them,
which will be today or tomorrow
1t was announced last night that as.
sessments in the Manoa district am
ounting to about $11. 900 had been col
lected. AS the total will run to
about $4,000 IL no one pays more
than the first instalment- several

did not look very well for Manoa last
night. Delay in collecting the assess
ments would be a serious thing, sew
eral of the supervisors said last night,
and might bold the improvement work
up indefinitely. The city engineer
said that he had had a man at work
telephoning to those who had not pail
their assessments and hoped they
would all be in today.

pense in having a picture taken and
cut made, but the publisher of the
nearest country paper will attend to
the details and afterward will do the
printing reasonably.

A farm letterhead should carry the
name of the farm, the name of the
owner, the location of the farm, and
perhaps a small pcture Of some fea-

who regards the farmer as business
man with substantial investment
upon which he should make every
effort to pay interest.

ARMED MERCHANTMEN
AS WARSHlPS
Germanys Contention In Her Former
Memorandum and Her Warning
To Neutrals.

The German memorandum Of Feb
ruary s, was addressed to neutral
nations and declared that after Febru-
airy 20, Germany would consider all
armed merchantmen belonging to
countries at war with Germany as war
ships, and that such vessels would be
treated accordingly and sunk without
warning.
It is charged that before the out.
break Of the war the British govern
ment had given British shipping com.
panies an opportunity to arm mer.
chantmen with guns for protection
against dangers threatening under
certain circumstances from auxiliary
cruisers Of other powers" The British
Admiralty, It was added, published in
January 1914, list showing that 2s
steamers Of various English lines car
ried stern guns.
Germany established soon after the
outbreak Of the war, the memorandum
said, that English liners were armed
the steamer La Correntlna having
been captured carrying two four
FOUNDER seven-lnch stern guns and a
German submarine having been fired
upon in the channel by an English
yacht
The memorandum said the British
government for its own merchantmen
had taken the standpoint that armed
merchantmen maintained the charac-
ter Of peaceful mercantile vessels so
long as they only carried armament
for defensive purposes, but that in the
case of armed ships under other flags
IL had adopted the principle that they
we're to be treated as warships.
The German government" the
memorandum continued, has no doubt
that merchantmen acquire belliger.
ent character through arming with
cannon, no matter whether the guns
shall serve only for defense or for at.
tack. 1t considers every warlike
activity Of enemy merchantmen as con.
trary 10 international law. although II
takes into consideration the opposing
views, through the fact that it treats
the crews of such ships not as pirates,
but as belligerents."
The memorandum said that numer
GUS cases had come to light from re-
ports OF the German naval forces, "ln
which British merchantmen not only
offered armed resistance to German
warships, but, on their own part, pro
ceeded without further ado to attach
them, in which attacks they frequently
made use Of false colors."
The manifesto was issued in ordel
that the neutral powers might war;
their subjects from further entrustins
their persons or property to armed
ships Of the powers at war with Ger
many"

Moreover, the German people know

THE German Government, con-
scious OF Germany's strength, twice
within the last few months announced
before the world its readiness TO make
peace on a basis safeguarding Ger
