Queen RECEIVES
SENATE MEMBERS

Senate members of the 1917 legisla-
ture this morning paid their respects
to Queen Liliuokalani, calling upon the
venerable lady at her home in Wash

The queen received her legislative
guests in the parlor of her home, greet
ing them one by one with smiles as
they were presented to her She was
attended by Mrs. c. P. Iaukea and
Mrs. John A. DOminiS.
Gowned in black with a beautiful
feather lei of yellow at her throat, the
white-haired queen made a simple yet
striking appearance. Enteebled by
age, she sat during the reception. De-
spite her years and recent illness, the
queens kind face betOkened cheer as
she smiled at the words of kindness
spoken by the senators in greeting
President Chillingworth and Vice
President Makekau led the visiting
party, taking their places slightly to
one side of her majesty, where Presi-
dent ChillingWorth introduced the
other senators as they came in line
Col. c. p. laukea, secretary to the
queen and recently appointed secre-
tary of the territory, presided at the
reception and was in the receiving
line.
During the hour the lady singers OF
the Hawaiian Band sang native songs,
accompanied by the band orchestra
which stood directly in front of the
main lanai. After the reception proper
an informal one was held at which
the queen received a number of her
personal friends and those of the
family
Several tourists were interested
spectators at the reception, a number
of them being from the Sierra which
arrived this morning from Australia.

SCHOOL BOND IS
FILED BY SASAKI


S. Sasaki, who was the lowest bid
der for the erection of the new Kaahu-
manu- school at the corner of Piikio
and Kinau yesterday afternoon, filed
his bond. Saturday he asked for "a
five-day extension of time. The bond
has Benny & Company, a bottle dis
tributIng company, as surety and is
for S12.9S0 or so per cent of his bid.
The question of whether he viii be
awarded the contract is now in the
hands of the school committee but as
it has not met it is likely that the
board as a whole will be asked to de-
eide. The board meets this evening.
At former meeting Supervisor Hol-
linger raised the question as to the
responsibility of Sasaki but the board
voted to award him the contract if he
filed his bond on time. This he did
not do and it is now up to the board
to either give him the contract or
throw it out and give it to the next
lowest bidder, or throw them all out
and call for new ones.

Both house and senate resolutions are directed
to one entl-4tEat Of serving notice Germany and
all the world that America and Germany are belli-
gerents coincidentally, they authorize any neces-
sary and advisable military measures which the
United states may seek to employ in national Of

Cnder International law and precedent set in pre-
vious wars in which the United States engaged, our

war has already begun. In the present instance.
Mr. Wilson and his cabinet and the Congress hold
that war was begun by Germany-that the long
series of submarine Outrages were in essence overt
acts of war, and that America is fully justified un
der the law of nations is now proceeding, without
declaring war on Germany or waiting for Germany
TO declare war on us, in active military and
naval operations.
The confusion generally existing the mean
ing of "a state of war" may be cleared up by refer
ence 10 some historic incidents in American foreign
relations. DIR. John Bassett Moore, former coun-
sellor for the state department and recognized
authority onsahe subject refers to them in his In
ternational Law Digest" Volume VII
On February =, 1902, Congress passed an act "fOr
the protection of commerce and seamen of the Unit

was, says DIR. Moore "virtually declaration of
war against Tripoli" ~. H.

fan pirates who harried the seas more than cen

The war of 1872 was preceded by message which
President Madison sent TO Congress (June l. 1922
in which he declared that Great Britain's oppres-
sions of the United States were such that there was
ION the side of Great Britain state OF against
the United States; and on the side of the United
States, state of peace toward Great Britain Ulti
mately this led to the formal declaration Of war
Likewise, the Mexican war was prefaced by mes
sage to Congress by President Polk (May IL, 1886
in which he declared that American blood had been
shed by the forces of Mexico on American soil, and
that war existed by the act of Mexico. Two days
later Congress passed an act reciting that war ex
listed by the act of Mexico and made provision for
carrying on the conflict action strikingly similar
to that now proceeding in Washington.

REALLY AGAINST
CONSUMPTION

Australians as a rule were not OPP
posed TO CONSUMPTION, said A. c.
kitchler of Cincinnati, who left on
the Great Northern for San Francisco
this morning after short business
visit in Honolulu "Conscription was
voted down because the people wanted
to repudiate the political factions.
premier Hughes was at first affil
lated with the Labor party, but finally
lined up with the Liberals, and the
political fights being waged at the
time of the vote on CONSUMPTION caus-
ed the people of Australia to register
protest.
The Australian people have done
wonders in sending men to the front
and altogether 100000 Australians
have enlisted. The newspapers in
both Sydney and Melbourne carried
stories of British victories, and this
PERHAPS was responsible for much of
the hesitation on the part Of many
yOung men to enlist.
New Zealand has CONSUMPTION, and
after calling out the single men they
are HOW calling on the married men
with no children, and this will be fol-
lowed with a call for men with one
child. One-siXth of the white popula.
ton in New Zealand has been called
to the colors.
Australians are very friendly to
Americans as a rule, but of course
they fail to understand the hesitancy
of the American people in meeting
the international questions" he con-
cluded. MIR. and Mrs. Kitchler have
travelled around the world during the
past four years. Kitchler is in the

Quite as notable in history though less in popu-
lar memory is the beginning OF the 'hnaJapan war
Of 1894. In this state of war existed for five
days prior 10 actual declaration by Japan: indeed.
Japan had already struck with army and navy. DR..
Mares digest SAYS Of this incident "TheIo. is moth
ing irregular in thus commenced"
Even more generally interesting is the diplomatic
history of the beginning of between the United
States and Spain in 1898.
Spain's cruetirS in Cuba had stirred surge of
Indignation and pity throughout America. On April
20 1898 the president approved joint resolution
of Congress declaring that Cuba should he free and
directing and authorizing the president to use the
land and naval forces Of the government 10 aid i'll
securing that freedom for an oppressed people of
the western hemisphere. That same day the Span
ish minister at Washington asked for and WAS given
his passports and next day the American minister
in Madrid received a note from the Spanish govern
ment stating that the joint resolution was consider
ed an obvious declaration of war and that all dipl"
matte relations were consequently severed.
A day later the United States navy blockaded
Cuban ports On April - Congress passed an act
declaring that state of war had existed since April
81. and directing the president to the military
and naval resources of the nation to carry on the
war and to call into actual service the organized
militia to assist in this purpose.
DIR. Moore and other competent authorities hold
that war between the United States and Spain &C
tuallv existed from the date of severance of rela
TONS and that Spain recognized by accepting the
resolution of Intervention in Cuba as declaration
of war Congress, however. did NOT formally de
clare war until afterward.
1T is universally admitted" says DR.. Moore
"that formal declaration is not necessary to con
stitute state of war But, he adds, Ito admit
that state of exists is by no means to justify
the mode by which it was brought about or begun,
And this is precisely the view President Wilson
and his advisers appear to take.
With this background of history, readers of the
stirring news dispatches of these quck-fying days
of action may have clearer conception of the legal
points involved. The sum of the situation now is
that America and Germany are at war, though we
have not vet struck military or naval blow in the
accepted sense of beginning hOstilities.
Nor is amy further declaration necessary. Under
the congressional resolution now being rushed
through house and senate the United States gov
eminent can prosecute war without passage of an
act of formal declaration Such an act may be
passed. but it is not necessary observance of inter
national legal regularity of international ethics
