Cough Howell of the royal field ar
tillery of England passed through Ho-
nolulu Yesterday on the Makura, on
his way to the Antipodes to recuPer-
ate. He was accompanied by his wife
whom he met while she was driving
a hospital ambulance from the train
to the Devonshire hospital, when he
returned to England from the trenches
of France more than year ago.
A graduate of Cambridge university,
he enlisted for service Immediately
after war, broke out but 1t was not
until May OF the following year that
he reached France His regiment was
sent to Messines where they held d
front of 1000 yards.
We were only allowed to fire 4
dozen rounds a day and that was
more in the nature OF a bluff thau

III those days We did not have the
ammunition and had the BOsches
charged us we could not have stopped
them, but things are different now.
Instead of 1000 yards division holds
only a quarter OF a mile of trenches
and has all the ammunition it wants.
The gunners can keep on firing day
and night If they want to without any
visible decrease in the supply.
In September of the same year we
were sent to Loos and took part in
the offensive in that sector. We lived
in smoke helmets pretty near al; the

With the foregoing proclamation, is
sued by the governor on Saturday. as
an incentive for more patriotic and
emphatic work along educational
lines, thousands OF boys and girls of
a score or more Of nationalities today
flocked TO school throughout Hawaii.
The issuance of the governors proc
lamation was brought about through a
letter written by p. p. Claxton, com.
missioner of education, to Henry w.
Kinney, superintendent Of public in
struction, suggesting that 1t would be
advisable to secure an EXPRESSION OF
sentiment from the governor with
which to mark the opening Of the
schools. Copies of the proclamation
are being sent to public and private
schools throughout the territory.
Aside from the public schools, near
ly all the local private schools opened
this morning with substantially in
creased enrollments. 1t will be a week
or more before the exact total enroll
ments are available. as registration
Of students will probably occupy all
principals during the present week
In the public schools more time is
TO be taken this year in ascertaining
the exact enroIlments. As regards
nationalities Of pupils, Japanese Will
predominant, with part. Hawaiians
next. In the Mckinley high and nor
NAL schools unusually large enroll
ments are anticipated. Superinten-
dent Henry w. Kinney said today
that IL may be two weeks before the
exact enrolment totals are known.
According to the department of pub
lie instruction, the total enrolment
in the territory this year will be about
$4,000, which is gain Of between 1400
and 1900 The estimated increased en-
rollment in Honolulu will be about
100.
During the summer about JIG new
school buildings have been construct
ed on Oahu to meet this increased
enrolment. In Honolulu a new II
room concrete structure is nearing
completion on the grounds Of the Kaa-
humanu school, and this viii accom-
modate about 500 pupils. This will be
used largely to take care of the over
flow from other schools.
Two new teachers have been added
to the faculty Of the school for de-
fectiyes. making three in all. Miss
Gertrude Mason is principal. The
teachers are planning to conduct an
investigation with view to local
ing all defective children, who will
be enrolled In the school. In the
cases of those pupils living on Oahu
their fares win be paid to and from
their homes. This system may extend
to the other islands before the first
Of the year.
The department is employing about
900 teachers this year, and all but
about IL were at their desks this
morning.

1t is typical Of natures methods. She
scatters gifts enough, but she seems to

Dame Nature parches the wheat fields

they wouldn't die for want Of pure

GERMAN PROPAGANDA.

Why have we permitted the German

moral cowardice by which il had already
inoculated and stupefied its own peo.

Why did we not resist this propagan.
da? For the simple reason that des.

while democratic governments-be
based on freedom OF opinion--cannot

her trcacherous murder OF women and
children We can and do react Against
her intellectual and moral poisons, so
far, we have been helpless.
The German propaganda has con.
quered its millions Of recruits through.
out the world not .only by its vast vol.
ume. its infinite repetitions, and its In.
finite variety, but also by its boldness.

Il has always claimed everything. And
IL has always succeeded in planting at

unreason in at least a part OF the pub.

Germany assumed the diplomatic Of.

the war. We still take the diplomatic

the end, or international democracy will

German people that supports il. before
the public opinion OF all the earth. And
we must repeat the operation and add

This has become physically impossible
We can, however, point to its frightful

INJUSTICE TO dope" VICTIMS.

New York is having a serious time
with its dope" victims. The federal
authorities have been getting after the
illegitimate traffic i'm habit.forming
drugs. AS a result of their raids large
numbers Of dispensers of morphine,
heroin and cocaine have been taken into
custody, and many shady doctors and
druggists have been scared out of the
business. The effectiveness of the cru
sade has been increased by the efforts
Of the local authorities to enforce the
state drug regulation law.
All this is very good. But the reform
has had some startling results. With
the curtaiment Of the traffic great
numbers of drug addicts, unable to OBJ
tain their accustomed dope" have
swarmed into the offices of the revenue
collector, marshal and prosecutor, plead
ing for relief.
The officials face a perplexing dilem-
ma. The victims must either have their
drug or they must have the craving
for it removed. The drug cannot legally
be provided, and there is no provision
in the federal antinarcotic law for TAX.
ing care of the addicts.
The state law, too. fails to provide
remedial treatment The local health
department is doing what it can, supply.
ing treatment to many patients in the
city hospitals and other municipal insti.
tutions. But it is unable to cope with
the situation. Experts say that there
are 100000 drug addicts in the metropo.
lis.
The evil is not confined to New York,
nor to the large cities in general 1t
exists to same extent in nearly every
community. The number of men and
women enslaved by habitforming drugs
often through no fault Of their own
is appallingly large. The moment any
honest effort is made to restrict the
traffic that is responsible for their pre-.
dicament, the victims are left in pre-.
carious and pitiable plight.
1t should be universally recognized
that no anti.narcotic legislation is either
effective or just unless it adds TO drug
regulation some provision FOR taking
care Of the drug habitues. There are
well known treatments Of proved ef.
ficacy TO remove the abnormal craving
and give the victims n fresh start in
life. II should be made possible for
every sufferer to obtain such treatment
in public institutions.

One Of the first things our remote
ancestors learned was the art of self
defence First with naked hands then
with stones and tree.branches, and later
with weapons fashioned from hardwood,
flint and metal, prehistoric man con-
trived to defend himself from wild an
imals, secure food, or take the offensive
against his own kind.
In time under the spur Of hard nee
essity he invented the missile weapon
spear, javelin, catapult, boomerang,
cross-bow and at last the gun in all its
variations.
Preparedness. in ancient times, was
universal. Arms were worn continu.
ously-every tribesman, ate. slept and
travelled with them And, needless to
say, every member of a tribe was expert
with his chief weapon, whatever it was:
for his military education began in in.
fancy and long before he had reached
mans estate he had acquired truly
marvellous skill
The Indians, for example, began
teaching their sons-at the age Of three
how to shoot with the bow and arrow.
Similarly, in our own day, the Boer
children were taught to shoot with the
rifle, and every Boer boy was a dead
shot.
Rapid action. plus accurate aim was
the prime essential; for it was only too
well known that if you couldn't hit your
adversary, either with fist. knife or bull
let, before he hit you-you would be-
yond doubt, be quickly placed hors de
| combat. The battle went to the swift
in those days.
Notwithstanding the eternal self-evi
| dentness of this fact. man is easily
lulled into a complaisant commercial
pacifism and, hence, within the past
three years, we have the example Of
several great nations caught suddenly
unawares-almost completely unarmed
and unframed.
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib.
erty. but vigilance without preparedness
would avail naught.
| Your whole army might be wide
awake and well.armed when the enemy
strikes, but if his troops are trained
| soldiers and expert marksmen-and
yours are not-where are you?
