PORTUGAL TELLS WHY ..
GERMAN REFUGEE SHIPS
IN HARB0RS WERE SEIZED
CBy Associated Pressl

PARIS, France.-An official White
Book has been issued by the Portu-
guese government, detailing the cause
leading to PortugaPs entry into the
war. 1t says: :s..
while on the one hand Portugal
was the ally of England for six CEN
turtles, and offered England her aid
on the outbreak of the war, on the
other hand Germany made war on Por-
tugal in Africa without previously max
ing a declaration of war, and German
submarines sank Portuguese steamers
in the Atlantic Ocean without notice.
Portugal then being in serious diff
culties about food supplies, decided,
after full consultation with parliament
and all competent legal authorities, to
requisition 70 German vessels which
had taken refuge in Portuguese ports. "
The White Book adds that this was
permitted by Portugals treaty Of COM
merce with Germany, even in time of
peace Germany thereupon declared
war on Portugal The White Book
concludes:
THE Portuguese government never
proclaimed its neutrality because, in
its character of the ally of England
and the friend of France, it considered
itself bound to these states, which
were defending civilization, by obliga.
tons of moral and historic nature "

Civil SERVICE
LAWS FAVORED

4 That the raising of salaries of the
police force would go e long way to-
ward increasing its efficiency by
drawing to IL better men but that
care should be taken at the same time
not to increase the pay Of men who
are not worth Il, IS the opinion of
Charles F. Chillingworth, Oahu sena-
tor, concerning the movement which
has been started by the civil service
commission and Edward Fogarty par
ticularly to raise the efficiency of the
police department "If the salaries are
raised and as result better men en-
ter the force the inefficient men
should be dropped" he said!
Chillingworth also believes that the.
oretic1lly the civil service laws are
the best system under which to work
but that in Hawaii they have not come
up to expectations. His principal OBJ
lection is that number one on the list
of applicants is not always chosen.
He suggests that possibly If more pow
er is given the commission 1t might
give better results.
E. L. Schwarzberg, with James F.
Morgan Company, on the other
hand, thinks that too much power
should not be given the commission.
THE sheriff is actually doing most
of the work" he said, "and, therefore,
he should have the NEST to say, par
ticularly in the hiring and discharging
Of the men under him. The civil SER
vice system is very good" he believes.
