ALAS! GREECE NOW A SUP
PLANT.

Poor old Greece, once 50 great 80
powerful, so proud, now in its down
fall, appealing to the United States
as a friendly nation to save 1t from
its friends as we'll as its enemies. The
appeal is pitiful and the more so be-
cause 1t Is one which this country can
not well heed II It 1t maintains its own
neutrality in the great European con.
flict.
Greece has been situated unfortu.
nately. II was In a position where its
keeping out of the war was almost an
impossibility, but there is no doubt
had not the king and his many cabi.
nets tried to play fast and loose with
the opposing bodies in the war, had
the policy Of King Constantine not
blown hot and blown cold, vacillating
SO long, had 1t resented the first inva.
sion Of its soil with all the force at its
command, there Is not doubt In the
world that 1t would have become al.
lied with one side or the other and
would have Jared far better than to
be overrun by the side II really ex.
pected to be It's friend. It would have
saved itself from being torn with in.
ternal strife.
II Is men that is wanting In Greece,

ALL RACES Will
NOW BE ADMITTED
TO KAMEHAMEHA
Preference is Given to Those
of Hawaiian or Part
Hawaiian Blood

Students of nationalities other than
Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian will be
admitted to the Kamehameha schools
during the coming year providing they
can be accommodated. -. -. -
This announcement is made in the
school catalogue, recently published,
for the year 1851, copies of which
have been mailed to former students
and graduates of the institution.
Although some Hawaiian graduates
claim that the plan Of the school to
admit students other than Hawaiian
or part-Hawaiian is new one, both
the trustees of the Bishop estate and
their attorneys declare that it is
policy which has been in vogue for
number of years.
That part of the 1861 prospectus
touching on the adLlIssion OF students
is, in part: .4.-. =. j.. H.. i.
While preference is given to those
of pure or part-Hawaiian blood, others
will be admitted if they can, be ac-
Commodated.'' ......."
The opinion appears to prevail
among some Hawaiian members Of the
kamenameha Alumni Association that
this rule is in violation of Mrs. Bernlce
Pauahfs Bishops will. Circuit Judge
c. w. Ashford, who recently passed
on the matter of an appointment OF an
estate trusteee, and Attorney Clarence
Olson of the law firm Of Holmes &
Olson, counsel for the estate say
that it is not. 4
Attorney Olson says that Mrs.
Bishop, in making her will and pro-
viding for an outlay of money for the
maintenance of the Kamehamena
schools, designated that Hawaiian and
part-Hawaiian students be given the
preference, but that nothing was said
limiting the races of students to be
received in the schools.
He also says that, according to In
formation reaching him, there have
been a number of students in the
schools of races other than Hawaiian

Controversy Between Chinese
Society, Territory and School
Board Delays Opening

With two officers of the United Chi.
nese Society guarding the locked
doors of the building in lane off
North King street, formerly used by
the society as a hospital, children OF
two classes from the Kaiulani school
waited patiently in the yard for more
than three hours this morning while
legal arrangements were made per

rooms in the old structure.
The lockout" by the Chinese so
ciety was the only incident which
marred an otherwise uneventful open
ing of the public schools of the city
today. During the last three years
the department of public instruction
has held lease on the building, using
it for the school for defective child
rem, and for one of the grades from
the Kaiuiani school.
Find Doors Locked
This morning, when the teachers
marched their charges to the building
they found the place locked and two
officers of the Chinese society, wnc
were on guard, told them that they
could not enter the structure. So the
students found seats under the trees
and waited. In the meantime con

BIG BRIDGE SPAN WAS
OF TREMENDOUS WEIGHT

The history of the Quebec bridge Is
long and interesting. As early as
1852 the project had been considered;
in 1884 it was up again for considera-
ton; but nothing was done TIL lSVO
when the Quebec Bridge & Railway
Co. began actual construction. In
1907 the sections that had been erected
collapsed, with serious loss OF life.
After the disaster the government de-
cided to have the bridge reconstructed
and appointed a board Of three engf-
neers to study various designs and TO
report a choice. They chose q canti-
lever design; contracts for construc-
tion were let in 1910 and 1911; and
since the latter date the, board OF en-
gineers has comprised Ralph Nodes
XII. C.E., Chicago, Mr. G.. G. Schneider,
C.E., Philadelphia, and AfT. G. N. Mon
sarrat, C.E., Of Quebec, chairman and
chief engineer.
The main span is the longest In the
great bridges Of the world, being, ac-
cording to the plans, 1900 feet In
length. From the floor Of the bridge
to the top of the main post Is q height
of 1S5 feet and the width is IS feet.
Other interesting features OF the
new bridge are the weight Of the steel
structure, which is $1,000 tons; the
! main posts were 80 feet above the
main piers: each post weighs 12,000.-
600 pounds and rests on shoes
weighing 400 tons; one Of the Gals
sons, measuring $50 feet by IS feet
and sunk So feet below the river bot
tom, Is the largest on record; and
the center span (suspended) was $40
feet long and weighed 5000 tons. The
bridge was to be completed in 1917
and would have been one OF the won
ders Of the world.
