matters that did not meet the stand
ard set by the President who sane
toned only those matters that would
affect the conduct Of the war.
What Hawaii Got
Hawaii has many matters pending
before congress that we're tabooed by
the leaders and, therefore, must go
over to the next session. We fared
we'll, however. in the army, the river
and harbor appropriation, and the sun
dry civil that went through as wal
measures. In the army bill there was
an appropriation of 100000 for a hos
pital at Schofield. In the SundrJ
Civil measure there was an appropria'
ton of $4,000 for seacoast defense,
one of $4,000 for aids TO navigation at
Pearl Harbor, and another of 500 600
for Kahului harbor. The River and
Harbors act authorizes the much
needed Kalihi channel in Honolulu
harbor An appropriation OF $4,000
was made to inaugurate this work.
and there was also made available for
the same purpose $4,000; and unex
pended balance of a previous appro
priation for work in Honolulu harbor.
There was another provision, one Of
$3.50, 900 for continuing work a: lilo
harbor
The Inauguration of the Kalihi
channel project leaves us with only
one important project not authorized
by congress, and that is a harbor for
Kauai at Nawiliwih This matter is
pending before the rivers and harbors
committee Of the house, and trust ii
will be our good fortune to have fav
orable action in the river and harboT
act Of the next session. 1t is an i'm

Kauai and to the territory, congress
should act favorably upon it.

MAUI STEWARD
PEEVED; REASON
SCHOOL TEACHERS
There Were 126 of EN- Aboard
and PorterS Got 126 Tips
of so Cents Each

Exactly 126 school teachers and
81 passengers on this trip" shouted
the deck steward of the Maui when
queried this morning. "Porters re-
ceived exactly 126 50-cent tips"
The steward was peeyed because
the deck sports on the way down
were an absolute failure" he said.
The swimmers arranged all of the
sports, but the rest Of the passen-
gers would not take part on account
of the school marms. They wouldn't
mix and the whole business was fig
zled.
Interesting? Why We had all kinds
Of interest on this ship, compound,
complex, and other kinds. School
teachers galore, and a small bunch
of passengers"
And the steward turned aside to
see another 50-cent tip slip into the
hand Of one of the walters.

itol. II seems to he that there is a
lack of realization OF the extreme
seriousness OF the situation. Then,
too. many men in congress fail to
recogniEe the truth OF the situation.
The reputation OF being a, pessi

one, but ] must be frank and state
my belief that we of the United States

the United States voluntarily took
upon ourselves the greatest burden in
the worlds history when We said TO
the hard-pressed AIlies-France, Bel
GUM, Russia and England, and others,
that We would feed them, that we
would fight for them, and that We
would save them.
The magnitude OF this contract is
appalling II will take years, it will
decimate our men, and IL will destroy
untold wealth. which means privation
and hafdships for our people. The
price will be worth while for no
peace will come until complete and
fun victory is ours.
Three Years Of War
Personally, I feel that SO far as
the United States is concerned, we
are entering upon, at least, a three
years war and before II is pau we
will have had to call to, the colors
mot fewer than 100000 men and put
into the battlefelds Of Europe at
