Bob Chillingworth said t. other
day that the IealaniS will have TO

freshmen crew, and Bill Rosa also
likes this aggregation. So many new
men are entering the freshmen and
kid races that a line cannot be OBJ
tanned on the crews. Times do not
mean anything as will be instanced
by last years races.
There promises to be a real fight
on in the naval cutter race. This
year the boys of the Alert will be
the only entries, but they have lined
up two strong crews from the deck
and engine room, and you can depend
upon it that there will be real tus-
sic when the time comes.
O'6rien Is Tryin'
Dennis O'Brien, swimmer, boxer,
baseball star and ukulele expert, is
rounding up crew from the engineer
department, and in the first practise
the boys have displayed real form.
Canavan, who comes from the same
section Of the world as O'Brien, will
cox the deck crew. Caravan is one
of the best known oarsmen in the
navy and has won number of races.
The men who will be seen in action
on Saturday are as follows:
Engineers divisional. O'Brien, cox

The young ladies are taking a real
interest in their race this year. Every
evening the crew takes a spin on the
harbor. and if form counts for any
thing, the young ladies are going to
make a real hit with the. spectators.

Honolulu has reaped a great amount
of benefit on account OF the recent
swimming meet. Norman Ross, who
established a new record in the $50
yard event, has been writing series
of articles for the Hearst newspapers.
and these articles have given HAWAII
a further boost in aquatics.
Duke Kahanamoku has forwarded
number OF newspapers giving an &C
count of the meet to the leading
swimmers, not only in the United
States, but also throughout Australia
and Europe.
In addition to this a file OF Star
Bulletins from the time the swim
.mers arrived until the meet was over
has been forwarded to Lou Handley.
Perry McGillivray. Harry Hebner'
Fanny Durack, Jack Coffman, and TO
all the athletic clubs on the mainland
interested in swimming.
This publicity is obtained by SWIM
ming. and the swimming stars such
as Duke and Ross are the ones who
are doing what they can to boost the
game continually. Both Duke and
Ross have been at outs with the heads
OF the association, but despite this
have not displayed any petty reel
ings. and have furthermore given
real boost for swimming here.
The Star.Bulletin has also received
a number of requests for the list oil
records which were published. and a
number of these record sheets have
Already been forwarded to the main
land. A few years ago the mainland
ers only knew about Duke and Ruin
Stacker. Now they speak OF Lane,
Kruger, Kelii, Josephine Hopkins ana
Gerd Hiorth. The swimming enthu.
siasts are beginning to realize that
Hawaii is the swimming center OF the
world. and when the records for the
13.year-old events reach the swim
ming authorities, it is naturally going
to open their eyes.
In a recent number Of the San fran
cisco Examiner, Norman Ross has TINS
to say about the big aquatic meet:
HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 22.-Plans
are well in shape for one OF the great
est swimming meets ever staged. Tne
swimming world does not seem to rea-
lie the magnitude of the events that
are staged twice yearly by the Ha-
waiian aquatic officials. In no meet
outside of the Olympic games is 80
much class evidenced.
The Honolulu fan is used to the
hest in the swim world, and must
have il. To this end the mainland
is secured twice each year to secure
the best talent obtainable. Honolulu
itself has always had few champions
resting in its midst to do attic with
the invaders. Thus from standpoint
of class the meets are in effect world
championships.

The First Casualties.

A dispatch from London stating that
wounded American soldiers had arrived
at hospital at Bath, England, from the
west front is the first direct intimation
that our troops have been in action in
France. That they would soon be at
work in the trenches was expected. The
move to the actual firing line had not
however, been announced.
Thus American blood has been shed
in the war itself, shed in the course of
the formal participation in the conflict
of the United States. Americans have
heretofore lost their lives and have been
wounded, fighting in foreign ranks, but
these men at Bath are the first Of the
casualties following the direct entrance
Of this country into the war.
There will be other casualties. We
cannot escape our share Of the payment
There will be perhaps long lists of
names of men put out Of action under
our flag. But it can be assured that
they will have given a good account Of
themselves. Americans have no fear
on the score Of the performance of the
men who have gone and those who are
yet to 60 from these shores to carry
on the fight for democracy and for
American rights.

Abate This Nuisance!

When a public nuisance exists it is
the duty of the municipal government
to abate it. II an evil condition is main
tanned that menaces the health of the
community the authorities should cor
rect it and punish those who are rcspon-
sible for it.
A public nuisance is being maintained
in this city in the neighborhood of the
White House by a group Of agitators
who seek to advance their cause by
methods that are distasteful to the peo-
pie at large. Recently an effort was
made by the police to abate the nui-
sance, but considerations Of mercy in
tervened and the official efforts were
suspended. The nuisance is now more
obnoxious than ever, and the people are
taking a hand. The result is rioting in
the streets almost under the windows
Of the Executive Mansion, scandal to
the capital.
Are the men who resent the insolent
banners Of these insensate seekers
after notoriety to be blamed If they
take the law into their own hands and

The Making Of Officers.

When the demand for preparedness
for possible war was voiced in this coun-
try some time ago the opponents of gen.
eral military trimming urged that there
was no need, that the patriotic spirit
Of the people would cause great army
to spring into being in short notice. It was
often said that five million men would BIO
ready for duty the day after the coun-
try was invaded, or menaced. Perhaps
this is true, that vast army of poten-
tial soldiers would step forward ready
in their hearts-for duty, for death if
needs be, the moment the country was
threatened by foreign foe. But what
an armyi Who would train itf Who
would officer iti
This week graduating exercises are be-
ing held at the various training camps
in this country. Young men are receiv-
ing commissions by the hundreds, the
thousands, to serve as officers in the
new National Army. They have been
through grueiiing courset.of training
for three months. Some Of those who
entered with them have dropped out,
exhausted by the grind. The survivors
have been worked to the limit Of the
physical endurance. 1t has been the
most severe course of intensive train
ing. And for WHAT To make these

At the lowest point since the begin
ming Of the unrestricted submarine war
fare, the losses of British shipping by
U-boats during the week just past are
perhaps significant only Of a relaxed
German activity, though the hope is that
improved methods Of navigation and
protection have caused a comparative
failure Of the piracy tactics- In the
seven days ending August IL only four
teen ships of over 1900 tons and two
OF under that tonnage were sunk, a
total Of sixteen. Twice since the
campaign Of ruthlessness began the
total has sunk to seventeen ships, the
week ending March IL and that ending
July 8. The highest score Of the U-boats
was in the week ending April %, when
ffty-fve ships were sunk The average
in twenty-four weeks has been, 2654
ships Of all tonnage sunk weekly, and
1911 Of over 1900 tons.
It 10 interesting to note that during
the period Of the latest report thirteen
ships were attacked and escaped. Thus
1t would seem as though the submarine
were losing its efficiency. The develop
ment Of higher speed-perhaps through
the elimination of slower boats by sink
iass-the adoption Of zigzagging maneu-
vers and the axming Of merchantmen
have all contributed to greater safety
ct sea. The U-boat is practically i'm
potent against speedy vessel operating
ON an erratic course in the submarine
zone. Il cannot with accuracy deter

Peace Plan and Peace Wish.

Reading of .he full text Of tho papal
proposition for peace leaves an even
more distinct sense Of disappointment
than that felt at the outset. 1t is not
a. concrete proposal as appeared from
the preliminary statements Of the plan.
It is an eloquent plea for the restora-
ton Of peace, but it points to peace
that Is Enthusiastically of German advan-
tagc Were it not for the specific decla-
ration that 1--WE Go not listen to sug-
Restions or to the interests Of any of
tho beiigcrent parties" it might almost
be thought that the inspiration Of this
proposal came direct from Vienna, which
In this situation Is but halfway point
from Berlin.
Yet there is reinsurance IN some meas
ure in tho worry fact that, perhaps at
the instance Of somebody in interest. a
move has been made toward peace in a
quarter that is directly allied to only
one Of the belligerent powers, Austria.
It is significant that the desire for
peace in the Teutonic countries is keen
or than merely the general wish for
cessation from the desolation of the
war; that dire necessity is pressing so
hard upon Germany and Austria that
peace Is an urgent need.
We want peace, here in America. We
do not want to fight. We do not want
10 lose our men in battle, and our ships
at sea- We do not want to Stay men
or destroy cities. But we must fight for
what we know to be right and just and
nsedful until We get it, and that OBJ
ject is the defeat Of Germany to the
point ut which she cannot rise again in
the near future and strike through
Scraps of paper" at us or our friends
and neighbors and at the rights Of man.
A1d the peace proposed at Rome is not
the kind Of peace that will bring the
result for which we e now at war.
II the desire for peace is so great in
Austria and Germany as to lead to the
emission of this plan from Rome con
indeed. Save in the east there is no
comfort in the military field. On the
seas the submarines have comparatively
failed. The'embargo just put upon ex-
ports by the United States will cut down
the supplies to the Teutonic beiiiger-
ents. The harvests. it is well known,
are bad in those countries. Terrible
suffering is certain to prevail among
the people during the coming winter.
And the spring viii open with the anti
Teutonie forces augmented by the hun
dreds Of thousands Of American troops,
trained to the fighting point, eager for
. chance 20 reach the bestial foe that
has scored so long record Of atrocities
and crimes in the past months Of war.
II peace could be secured now it would
be to Germany's advantage Fortunate
" there is, NO sign that this proposal
from Rome Will be seriously considered.
