plans of the warriors for autocracy
and making the work Of the leaders
in our fight for orderly intelligent
American democracy infinitely more
difficult.
THE faculty and the student body
OF the College Of Hawaii constitute
a body of men and women loyal to the
ideals for which our country is giving
its best thought and life.
"The attempt to smirch the whole
college force with the charge Of dis
loyalty is not only utterly unjust, but
1t is helping the kaiser's game. ..
What is the basis of the general
charge of disloyalty that has been SC
freely and recklessly passed around
Talked Too Much
"The presence on the faculty Of q
language teacher Of German birth
employed before there was thought
here at least, OF the great war. This
woman Is entitled under the terms oil
her employment to remain to the end
Of this college year. And until she
talked for publication day or two
ago she had not committed a single
act that could justify the college in
removing her name from the payroll
Furthermore had she been dismissed
from service and her salary paid fol
the period Of her employment-which
would very naturally be done by q
private concern-the man signing the
payroll could be held for misappro
priation OF public funds.
cit Is our thing to sit on the side
lines and shoot off your mouth on how
IL ought to be done, and quite another
thing to do the task dealing with al
the facts.
1T is one thing to sit on the side
near-sighted gutter, and another tc
stay with the game and see it through

I believe IN its faculty, / believe II
the students. believe there is nc
other college in the country that pos
sesses q more solidly loyal body Of
American and ally men, women. young
men and young women than is now
at work at the College Of Hawaii. They
may not reach their conclusions by
the same route that l do, but If the
country needs anyone Of them in any
capacity, know that every man and
woman, every boy and girl will res
pond, and each one will do not bit
but a full-sized American share
The success Of the United States
is based on the efforts Of workers and
builders of confidence. The gossip
mongers and cutters merely impede
and delay that success.
ITO win this war Americans have
got to get together, keep their heads
exercise careful Judgment, place con
fidence in their fellow Americans and
fight, fight, fight every inch OF the
way.
A great many vicious and untruth
full statements have been made in
connection with the controversy grow,
