Than $1,000

The shortage of Hans Reichelt the
assistant bookkeeper of Lihue Planta-
ton Company. who has been arrested
for embezZlerent. is around $4,000,
according TO reports from Kauai today.
When the Star-Bulletin last week pub
lished the first news OF Reichelt's
shortage, il was thought he had got
ten away with about ss14.9O0. -.
The Garden Island Of January 4,
says: :.... -. - -.
"Re'chelt has made good part of
his shortage. some being in cash and
scne in securities. III. -. H.. =.
THE known shortage is about S19.-
coo. of which s6S0605 appears TO have
been wrongly diverted in the last
IL months. The irregularities extend
ed over period of nearly SIX years.
"Reichelt had been in the employ
OF the Lihue plantation for great
many years and the utmost confidence
was placed in him He was the time
keeper and had desk in the general
offices of the company The money

Already, the veterinarian says in his
report numbers of people who had
given up chicken raising as almost

in the business again if the chickens
can be successfully, protected against

The veterinarian says there is abso-

treatment Further experiments are

NOT A PRIVILEGE BUT A RIGHT.

1t is not privilege but a right for Amer
cans to travel on the seas upon lawful business
The repeated American notes TO the German
and Austrian governments do not plead foI
privilege but demand rights Yet Senator
Jones of Washington condemns as ''unpatrl-
otic' Americans who travel in the war zone
and thereby endanger the peace OF their coun-
try Certainly Americans who 90 Jauntlng
about the submarine swarming seas on mere
pleasure trips are hardly mindful OF their duty
to refrain from all acts which may embarrass
their country in this critical wartime, but
Americans with business to perform and with
duties TO discharge must be assured OF life and
security when they travel on the free seas. !"
These are not unpatriotie men,
When any government violently interferes
with this right of travel, the United States
must take action. 1t would be highly unpa-
triotic of the United States administration not
to take action to uphold the inalienable rights
of its citizens

"AMERICANIzING HAWAII.

That Hawaii is not making substantial pro
gress toward Americanization is not n new
thought for Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton Caminetti. He has expressed it tefore,
so that its repetition in his annual report is no
surprise to the territory.
But the passing months since he first uttered
the statement do not seem TO have brought
the commissioner general any nearer solution
Of the problem of ''Americanizing" Hawaii.
He speaks again of getting more emigrants
from the mainland but is vague as to what IN
ducements can be promised them. Tentatively
he talks of offering public lands to prospective
settlers.
As matter, of regrettable fact, HAWAII
knows that the public lands available for home
stealing are exceedingly meager. Governor
Pinkham has reduced the situation to figures
which are conclusive proof that the territory
cannot provide for white homesteaders suffi-
Gent to offset appreciably the Oriental pre-
ponderance of population. And Governor Pink
ham in later set of figures showed the futility
Of some of the demonstrating attempts of not
distant date The lands soon passed into the
leasehold and control of the plantations. Eco
nomic conditions wrested them from the hands
of the entrants.
The Americanization of the islands is not a
matter of overnight accomplishment. 1t can
not be forced as dollhouse growth. 1t is a
matter for the evolution of decades. Largely
it consists in making plantation life more at
tractive to the younger generations of all
hoods, and thus developing citizenship con-
tented and modestly prosperous. So long as
the islands are Overwhelmingly devoted to one
industry, the status of labor and small employ
ment in that industry will be the principal
heaven in the loaf of territorial population.
And to assure contentment and progress on
the part of plantation labor requires not only
the sympathetic foresight and initiative of
plantation directors and managers, but GER
tainty that the industry itself will not be re-
dnced to struggle for existence.
The administration of which Commissioner
General Caminetti is part will help materially
to accomplish the aims he and the territory both
desire if it assures the prosperity of the islands
by retention of the duty on sugar. Nothing
could more quickly drive Hawaii almost to en-
tire dependence on the most un-American
cooIie labor than the removal of the tariff and
the inevitable fight with the cheap sugar
producing countries of Europe.

TIGHTENING SOME OF WARS GRIM
NESS.

The general belief that the hatred of one
European belligerent for another has almost
precluded the usual exchanges of prisoners
and cooperative relief work is not entirely we'll
founded. Little has been said of the interna-
tional agreements by which some of the grim
ness of war has been little ameliorated, but
such agreements are beginning now to be more
and more effective.
Dispatches from Berlin say that between
France. England and Germany there has exist
cd for some time sort of working agreement

changed for the benefit of the prisoners of war

IT DOES.

Does promotion work pay!
That question used to be asked in all serious
ness by many people in Hawaii.
About the only ones who ask it now are
those who are making money so fast in local
enterprises that they can't see any use in
spending money on business whose returns
are largely indirect.
In 1915 nearly 1900 steamer passengers
we're brought to Honolulu from Pacific ports
an increase of 5000 over 1914. And this was
during a. period that witnessed the passing of
the heavily patronized Pacific Mail liners and
a reduction in the service of both the Oceanic
and the Canadian Australian steamship COM
panies.
There is a steady, gradual and promising in
crease in tourist traffic, the best feature of
which is that Hawaii gets many parties now
as the result of the visit of individuals in past
seasons. The home going tourists spread Ha-
waits fame among their friends with tangible
results
The doubling Thomases are becoming very
few.

Not only is it true that Germany raised a
large amount of money for war in the United
States shortly after the outbreak of conflict
but it is also true that at the very time Teuon
sympahizers were protesting so loudly against
the half billion loan. for the Allies, Germans
were advertising their own loans in the Ameri-
can press. So much for the principle of lending
money to belligerents The objection that
might be raised to letting any belligerent have
half a billion of American money is that such
a huge sum inevitably must riyet the interests
