WILSON ADMITS
LETTER WRITING
HASIBEEN FUTILE
Now Wants Fighting Strength
of Nation Back of Him to
Enforce Demands
rAssoeia.sd Press by Federal wirsl.ssl

DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 2.-The
utter inadequacy of the Presidential
protest, unless backed up by substan-
tial armed forces. was the burden of
President Wilson's message to several
thousand Of his fellow countrymen
here last night 1t was the largest
audience by far the President has
faced since he began his campaign fer
real and effective preparedness to
meet the situation abroad, and he took
full advantage of this fact ID .lrive
home several new points.
America, he told his hearers, wants
peace now as always, but she ices
not want peace at the expense of her
honor. The history of the nation. said
Mr.. Wilson, shows that always the
United States has been ready to fight
for a principlel or for her own honor.
and there is no reason for believing
that the times have changed the spirit
of the people.
Bayonet to Enforce Demands.
You do not want your President to
write vain messages and futile pro-
tests he declared. You want him
to be in position to enforce what he
has to say at the point of the bayonet
if necessary. The futility of sending
protests abroad and messages to Con-
gress when the one is ignored and the
other neglected has been manifest OF
late" he declared.
There Is danger that the honor OF
this country may be seriously inVolv.
ed by the breaches with foreign ma
tons, on the verge of which we have
tottered many times of late, and there
is need, urgent need, Of. a force power
full enough to enable the country to
back her just demands for her rights
War Absurd H.. .... ~:
II hope" the President concluded,
that this war which Is now devastat
ing all of Europe and running up such
frightful bin of expenses bill
which the future generations of the
world will have to shoulder-will show
the world the absurdfty of settling
disputes In this fashion. sincerely
hope thai aiter the war isxovef, the
nations will get together and form a
real international commission which
shall have the right and the power to
settle all questions that may lead to
war" ISL. $50 .. q. $50 -. lis ~
The President also declared that he
believes firmly that the Middle West
as a whole is in favor Of a real pre-.
paredness for war. - .,.y. ; 4.
After leaving the hall where he
spoke President Wilson was compelled
to wait half an hour in the bitter cold
while the mistake of the railroad COM
pany in switching his special train
three miles down the yards was rectt
fled. !. r..

SANITARY WORK
ON HAWAII GOOD

That the sanitary situation along

ly improving and that conditions at
the present time are remarkably good,
is the statement of DR.. J. s. B. Pratt,

Bowman, chief sanitary officer Of Ha-
vail, came to Honolulu with them.
An inspection was made Of the plan
tation camps in the Hamakua district,
those at Paauhau. and Kuwaiau being
given special attention, as their sani-
tary standards have been rather low
during the last few months. Comment
ing on the situation, DR.. Pratt says
that since the middle of December the
conditions have improved, and that
the danger Of infections seems to have
been practically overcome. He re-
ports that a number OF old stables,
which proved breeding places for
disease, are to be torn down and new
ones erected. Plantation officials, be
adds, are cooperating with the health
officials in lettering conditions.
Prior to returning to Honolulu DR..
Pratt and DIR. Trotter were guests at
a dinner given by the Hilo Shippers

Copper ore was discovered here by
the late Henry Engels some so years
ago At that time there was no rail-
road nearer than Reno. $50 miles
away. and mining in such a remote 10
cality was difficult, though fair
tonnage of rich ore was mined from
the Superior group of claims and
shipped to Swansea. The discoyerer
and his sons, Henry and William En-
gels, who have been largely respon-
sible for the later development OF
the mine, were courageous and per-
sistent, how ever, and the assessment
work necessary to hold the property
was so directed as to block out con.
stantly increasing amounts of ore.
