HELPFUL DISCUSSION

Honolulu. March IS, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: In regard to this comment 60
ing on in the papers about lettering
the condition OF the soldier, would
say that no matter what. material ben
eft is attained either directly or in
directly the mere discussion itself is
edifyng and of far reaching value.
Because it prompts and fosters cool
and deliberate reasoning, without
which even the human being is a
brute. This is what differentiates
right from wrong in every sense. The
only caste in this country if 1t might
be called caste is the regularity ID
such procedures as this theme. with
out which it We're impossible to reach
feasible conclusion in any practi-
cable problem.
Here lies the very object we would
attain. To reach and preserve these
rights there Is an unvariable law, and
the more CLEARLY It Is oufIined the
higher the civilization. No people are
free without the ability a reasoning
clearly and preserving that integral
right as sacred, never to be debased

Major Mackenzie also tells of the
wealthy people who have given up
their houses as nursing homes, and
says so many have been offered that
the war office has had to refuse a
large number of good places. He spe-
cially mentions CIveden, the home of
Waldorf Aston, in whose magnificent
grounds is a Canadian hospital. He
says it was touching to go through
these beautiful rooms and halls with
the grolps of blae-coated patients IN

kindness and hospitality are both
spontaneous and genuine.
