AID CLUB HEARS
TRUE DEMOCRACY

Democracy goes farther than a
nation aid Rev. Charles F. Dole in
a talk before the members of the Ad
Club today at the Alexander Young
hotel Democracy is the biggest
thing in the world today. Nationalism
has been advocated much during the
past year, but the true democracy Is
more than party.
To-day man leaves one country
for anotner to seek his fortune, and
takes the oath In his new country.
No one blames him. 1t is done for
convenience. He goes farther than ma
tionalism. Democracy goes to the
heart. 1t is brotherhood and loyalty.
Democracy goes back to a spiritual
foundation. 1t changes the attitude
of man 'oward man. 1t does not ask
what is. done for good roads or for
battlesaips but what is the method Of
getting the best out of manhood

rialistic 1t could not have happened

BRITISH PASTORS RAP
WILSON'S PEACE NOTE

(Associsted Press by Federal wireIess)
LONDON, Eng, Dec. 81. = The
clergy of London are in full accord
with the press of the nation in strong
disapproval of President Wilson's ac-
ton in sending a note simultaneously
to the various warning and neutral
powers of Europe urging an attempt
on their part to arrive at basis for
peace negotiations.
Strong words were used by promi-
nent clergymen of London in their
Christmas Day sermons regarding Mr.
Wilson and his latest note. That he
has spoiled good intentions by tragic
mistake, that he was either crazy
when he sent the note, or cal
lously indifferent to the rights and
wrongs of the terrible struggle that
is drenching Europe with blood, were
some of the opinions expressed.
President Wilson has marred his
good intentions by a most tragic mis-
take" said Rev. G. Campbell Morgan,
rector of Westminster. chapel, in his
Christmas address. "He has declined
to express any opinion as to the moral
issues involved in the great struggle

HOLMES fAE0RS
HAWAII STREET

That Henry Holmes is in favor of
the compromised Hawaii street as an
outlet to the mauKa end of Puunui
district instead of Circle Drive is the
statement made by him today, and
corrects a statement in another part
of the paper. While he believes that
the compromise route is the best, he
is absolutely against the original rout-
ing of Hawaii and would prefer Circle
Drive to it.
According to E. w. Sutton this morn:
ing, options on ali the land necessary
for Hawaii have been obtained by
him without any strings attached, and
include the properties of Kalakiela,
Nahale, Mahoe and Holmes.
Sutton believes that if the board of
supervisors approve Hawaii it will inn
mediately end all objections to the inn
provement district and work can start
as soon as all legal steps are taken.
The difference in cost between Circle
Drive and the Hawaii compromise is
$4,000 more for the latter, but as both
George Sherman and the Country Club
are donating $4,000 between them, it
will really cost the county and prop
erty holders less" said Sutton.

INSISTS
ON INSPECTIONS

DIR. J. s. b. Pratt, president of the
board of health, who appeared at the
loan fund meeting today will insist
on the inspection of every individual
who enters the Nuuanu watershed in
connection with the construction of
the new water project in Hillebrand
glen.
Pratt stated that he wants to assist
the commission in every possible way,
but declared that the inspection is a
necessity. He said the restrictions
are no more than were enforced at
Wahiawa, Aiea and Waiahole in con-
struction work there, the result being
that typhoid cases were traced back
to their source by the inspections.
He said the situation at present in
regard to typhoid is threatening, and
that recent months have shown an
abnormal increase in the disease,
cases being scattered from Kaimuki
to Kalihi and as far up Nuuanu as the
electric station Officials could not
be too careful, he asserted.
At the end of the meeting Picanco
& Comes were given a Today exten-
sion of tima in which to secure labor
ers. They were shown that the in
spection Is not as disagreeable as
they at first were given to under
stand

Nuuanu stream rose rapidly and at
1 o'clock the stream had reached the
level of the Kukui street bridge.
Many Japanese boats we're afloat on
this stream and one large sampan was
wrecked against the bridge, at Kukui
street. Many of the smaller boats
we're washed toward the bay.
At the railroad bridge the water
reached point only two feet under
the tracks Lumber and logs have
been floating down the stream and a
jam was expected at any time.
Throngs gathered along the stream
to watch the advance of the flood.
The rain came down in torrents at
the Country Club and the streams
overflowed. Nuuanu street was flood
ed with water near the entrance to
the club. The upper course was
flooded in many places.
Water flowed down the hills in Nuu-
anu valley like rapids, and Nuuanu
street near the Country Club was a

Water came down the Manoa car

car was sent nut from the barn to
assist when debris washed across the
street stopped progress.
At Pawaa Junction the streets ran

street the street cars we're slowed up
