Demand For Tonnage

TIN great demand fofsl bbping6n The Atlantic
Il is not due to the rayages of the German SUBJ
marines, despite their weekly average Of from. ff-
teen to eighteen ships, The demand for tonnage
is because of the increased neeessitss of the war
for more ships than usual not because the sub
marines are depicting the tonnage already exist
ing or seriously so.
''As Britains great effort Of the first year of the
war was to create huge army, as her great effort
for the second and third years was to create an
Inexhaustible supply of munitions, so, the great
effort of the fourth year must be- not only in Great
Britain but also in America, to create merchant
ravy to replace the submarine losses and supply
the constantly increasing demands explained a
British official recently TO the Associated Press.
There is no Disgusting the fact that the ship
ping situation is serious. Do not misunderstood
me-the shipping situation has not grown serious
through any increased success OF the German sub
marine warfare. HAs matter of fact, the German
submarine war is being held down very well, and
the average sinkings show increase either in
number of ships or tonnage. The sinkings in the
Atlantic main routes very low, and the
greater proportion of the sinkings IN out of
the way spots, indicating either that the subna-
rineS have been forced a6ed or that larger num-
Der of them are operating. a.
But the total available tonnage is shrinking
lightly, while, on the other hand the demands
Tor tonnage from all directions are increasing
tremendously. While one ship was needed three
years ago, four are needed now. France is very
short Of coal, one of the vital necessares for win
ter. Italy is short of coal and the shortage is so
serious that it is causing the Italian government
the utmost concern For all these shortage there
is only one remedy, namely, tonnage.
But still more important demand for tonnage
comes from America, whence the Ententes great
reserve OF men must come this winter. The neces-
sity for tonnage to transport the American army
and keep it supplied is perhaps the most important
feature OF the shipping situation. """a.:.
$50 the Entente statesmen have arrived at the
conclusion that the winning of the war may de-
pend on the new effort which will be demanded of
England and America this winter, an effort to
bush quickly to completion more quicklysthan
ever attempted before-heet upon feet of ships to
carry the sinews of war to the fighting nations.

rE ADyERiIsERS SEMI.WEEKfY
Mr., Capitalist!

EOF the good of your own soul remember &c
H make distinction between what IS patriotism
and what is not patriotism in your subscription to
the new national loan, writes William Hard in the
metropolitan Magazine. 1t is very decent of your
country, after all, you know, 10 take your spare
money from you for the war and then give it back
to you at future date and pay you interest on it
lin the meantime. You have that money at your
manifest disposal; and your country knows that
you have it; and your country needs it, virtually
all of it and the government at Washington will
either take it from you and give it back or else
take it from you and never give it back. This war
is a real war. The total annual income Of the peo-
pie of the United States is $38000O00O00. The
government will now need half OF it. People who
have money above their wants. people who have
spare money will in the end hand it over in loans
or hand it over in taxes, For many excellent
economic reasons the government wishes to use
the method of loansa as well as the method of taxes.
But if loans fail taxes will succeed And taxes, in
this age, are ceasng to fall upon the poor and be-
ginning to fall withgreat drectness upon the rich.
For you to put your spare money into the loan is
not patriotism. 1t is insurance 1t is sense.
But you will want TO show, patriotism. And you
will begin to show patriotism when you begin to
dig down below your spare money into the money
that means sacrifice. ~ a,.., ~,
Think OF our European allies. The total annual
income of all the European countries allied with
us is only three-quarters Of the total annual in
come Of the United States Yet, out of that three
quarters OF our annual income, they have been
lending their governments some SIS ,OOO 100000 a
year That has meant sacrifice indeed
Think of the mass of your own fellow-citizens.
Seventy per cent Of the families OF the United
States get only $1,000 or less, year. Yet count
less families within that seventy per cent will buy
q ffty-dollar bond or hundred dollar bond That
will mean real sacrifice. E%.a.r-
a Then think -. No, Drop thinking and get
up and go to the military training camp nearest
your home and look at the long lines of youth
brought to the top Of the vigor and the joy of
living to be fit to face dying What a loan we
should have if every subscription were signed with
those boys marching by the signer's desk! FL
For who can bear it that in world made free
only by the suffering of millions upon millions Of
people he should suffer not at all? Within your
opportunity you are bound to,wish to suffer too
In that spirit make your subscription. Make it to
include money you need. Make it to include
money you cannot possibly spare. And the feeling
that will spring up in your heart will be patriot
ism-and more. 1t will be your, union with the
whole worlds sacrifice for the whole worlds cet-
tain coming liberty. t.. ..... 80

Let's Have 1t Properly

Il has long been the custom to conclude every
public entertainment with the playing of the Ma
tional Anthem, during which the audience stands.
Such custom, since the declaration of war, has
been adopted in many of the mainland cities, the
Star Spangled Banner being played at some period
of the evening, with everyone standing. This is
custom which might very we'll be adopted in
Honolulu and the suggestion is passed on to those
in charge of the theaters and other places of public
amusement. 49,
AT the same time, another suggestion may be
advanced, and that is that orchestras be told 10
eliminate from their programs the medleys which
include portions OF the National Anthem. 1t is
always a distressing sight to see an audience upon
whose ears suddenly energies the Star Spangled
Banner air, cropping up between Marching

"A Good Choice

#THE appointment of A. S. Cantin to fill the
! vacancy in the city engneershp caused
through the resignation OF George M. Collins is
an indication Of the fact that efficiency is to con
tinue to have show in the citys administration
1t argues little for the sincerity OF those super
visors who protested not to know Cantin and who
tried to hold up his confirmation on that account
because he has been we'll known among local engi-
neers for years and not to know him. when the city
was, presumably, being secured for an available
man, simply means that those supervisors were
not looking for an engineer outside of their own
particular circle. ., .#.
Mr.. Cantin will 60 into Office next Monday as
a nonpartisan choice, nominated by Democrat
. and confirmed through the decision of two Re-
publicans not to permit partisanship to hamper
their efforts for Honolulu He has the opportunity
now to make himself or break himself If he will
devote his entire attention to his duties and look
10 the interests of the people, he will succeed If
he permits himself to become the catspaw of any
elected official with political bee in his bonnet
or any clique of such politicians, he will fail.
+ II the mayor and supervisors will give their new
engineer a free hand and Judge him solely by the
work he does engineer, they will help him,
help them and the peope will not forget it. If they
hamper him, as engineers have been hampered in
the past, and attempt to build up political ma
chine in the road department, they will break him
and themselves go down the road of defeat into
which so many OF our elected officials have been
forced by disgusted electorate
We believe Mr. Cantin has the stuff in him to
lie good engineer and the backbone to resist any
attempts to prostitute his office to politics. We
believe that the majority of the supervisors will
hack him up in whatever he does to promote eff
cheney in his important department He enters
office under happy auspices. That he may justify
all our hopes of him is the best The Advertiser
can wish our new city engineer.

WOMEN AND AMBITION

Excessive ambition leads all sorts
of women to- exert themselves be-
yong their strength. The girl striv-
ing for honors in school, the busy
housewife, the shop-girl, the society
climber or leader, all overtax their
natural powers Of endurance. Then
comes nervous troubles, backaches
headaches, frequently organic trou-
bles, which reduce them almost to
despair. e.,
Women suffering thus should first
recognize the necessity Of putting on
the brakes and slowing down. Be
sides this, to remedy the mischief
already done to the health, the best
