An EMERGENCY MEASURE.

Representative Andrews bill appropriating $l5,-
900 to divert the dirty stream flowing Waikiki
beach between the Moana and the Outrigger Club is
an emergency measure 1t is designed to furnish
temporary relief from this nuisance which is defn-
itely njuring Of Honolulus most famous tourist
attractions.
Governor Pnkham has summed up years of work
on the Waikiki reclamation scheme with compre-
hensve plan of waterway, fill, streets and public
utilities which will be presented to the Legislature
in week or ten days
The harbOr beard proposes a beach boulevard to
cost something like $120,000.
Both plans can be eombined--in fact the governor
now has combined them-into a splendid project,
but il is project which is almost certain to take at
least three years for accomplishment. Unless it
moves much faster than Most public work of the
sort il viii take from five to ten years.
IN the mean time, the sewerstream will grow
steadily more offensive, steadily more of positive
injury to Waikiki beach.
Several plans for dverting the stream have been
worked out. At least two seem practicable from an
engineering standpoint The improvement can be
made ina few weeks. twill not interfere with any
larger reclamation scheme, and as quick action is
exceedingly desirably, the appropriation should be
made by this legislature.

Stand TOeether---Get Effective City
Charter

In Esprit Of fairness in spirit OF willingness e
make compromise where compromise does not stul
tify. the Chamber Of Commerce is making declara
ton OF its attitude the proposed city charter
The declaration shows that in some important
points the chamber has the wishes of Legislators
of the Oahu delegation. In all points where vital
principles would not be sacrificed the chamber has
endeavored 10 meet the wishes Of other sections OF
the community.
On certain vital features the chamber believes
compromise means surrender to political evil. and
does not propose thus TO capituate.
The chambers amendments now proposed are
"bedYrock.r They represent some concession from
the ideal But they still retain the important fea-
lures of centering responsibility on the policy
forming officers of the city and county government,
and of shortening the ballot.
Upon this declaration of principle, not only mem,
bers of the chamber but progressive citizens gen.
orally can take their stand
It is imperative they should take their stand side
by side, shoulder to shoulder, squarey in the fight
against the reaetonary forces attempting TO put
Overt the convention charter.
1t is imperative that civic and business organiza-
tions stand together. The chamber has fought for
and worked for the best charter Honolulu can get
from the present legislature That is what every
good citizen should fight for.
The fight has come TO showdown These adyo-
Gates of the much-criticized convention charter
say that the people the rioters are for it. That is their
reason, their explanations
s What the businessmen of Honolulu, the profes-
sional men, the of all these organizations must
do now is to show the Oahu delegation that 1.-The
people are not backing the convention charter; that
there are active substantial citizens on the other
sit that there are hundreds of rioters back of the
Chamber of Commerce stand.

THE LIMIT.

The limit Of .'watchfuI waiting has been reached
in WashingtonS policy toward the German ships in
Honolulu harbor
Ii is now fairly wellknown that the administra,
tons hesitation deal drasticaly with the German
menace has held up the harbOr board: has prevented
armed guards from being placed on the steamers
has barred them from being taken to the one logi-
cal and available Anchorage Pearl Harbor.
Washington evidently has adopted the attitude,
don't do anything which Germany can protest.
And so these vessels remain Il known peril 10 the
safety of this port. t-- .<..: y
Germany sinks American ships. bearing Amer
lean citizens. C-boats range the wIrzone striking
without warning, without discrimination. without
mercy. Hospital and relief ships are sent down.
Pledges To America torn up with the other
scraps of paper the Teutons have scOrnfully east to
the winds ..~. ii.
And Honolulu appears powerless to protect itself
Why? Because Washington for two weeks would
neither take charge of the Germans through her fed
eral forces here sanction territorial authorities
in doing SO.
The report of an investigating committee to the
harbor board yesterday showed preparations which
point suspiciously to a plan. to sink the Pommern.
This ought to answer concIusvely the claim that
Federal Inspector Heeney made false statement in
reporting, some time ago, that the Pommern had
apparently been made ready for sinking.
And this is only one of a chain of incidents to-
show the absolute folly of trusting any assurance
but the of the vessels placed in anchor
age away from local wharves, and guarded by an
armed guard III.
The legislature is entirely justified in such con.
certed action will bring squarey before Washing
ton the ACCESSIBILITY of sending these steamers to the
lochs of Pearl HarbOr and keeping them there under
guard.
The overwhelming majority of Americans in this
city are convinced it is yerging criminal negli-
gence to tolerate this menace in the local harbor.
Germany's pledged word has proved worthless.
Her Uboats are running amuck at sea- Her cease
less plots and inrigues carried to every corner
of the earth. Her subjects ask no questions but
obey orders Her advocates have no-scruples tol
stand In the way of obeying orders likewise.
We know that the German ship officers were pre-
pared months age to disable their vessels We sus-
pect that in case of declaration of war they will
go much further. We fear war may come at any
moment And yet the menace is tolerated.
If all this were done by any local official, bel
would be condemned as an incredible bungler.

Commodore Gaunt; Secretary Daniels and
Admiral Benson, chief Of operations, was

Gently has returned from a naval conference
with the Allies at London.
The only announcement Secretary Daniels
has made of the conference so far is that

might be supposed, much of il concerned
measures to combat the submarine cam

always the danger Of overoptimsm the
