TO LEE GREEN.-You1

TO LEE GREEN.-Your questions
to Messrs. Grogan, Lewis and Touhy
are just what might be expected
from any naTrow-minded bigot. What
right have you to ask them if their
training and environment have been
such as would make them full
fledged citizens? They most likely
have a far better idea of what Amer
lea stands for than you, with your re-
Igious prejudice against man who
is a Catholic. You ask them if they
will keep religion out of politics. I
would not trust them to do so, if they
had no more idea of tolerance than
you exhibit in your letter. It is you
and your ilk who bring all the re-
ligiOn into politics.
Do they hold our public schools
above their parOchial schools, you
ask. That could be answered in
many ways AS aldermen of this city
they would have nothing to do with
parochial schools, and if they are the
right kind of men they will endeavOr
to improve the public schools. The
parOchial schools are built for Cath

AS a result, the war Developments

bunting was displayed, but the lack OF
crowds on the streets was noticeable.
AS a matter OF fact, Honolulu had
expected war with such assurance that
there was no shock of surprise wheRir

calmly of the situation, facing frankly
the belief that Hawaii will have to

However, it Is also noticeable that

Consular representatives in Homo

sonal pleasure this morning of the
addition to their ranks of the United
States and stated that no doubt the
entry of America into the war would
be hailed by delight by every coun-
try fighting with Germany.
z. L. S. Gordon, consul for Great
Britain and acting consul for Italy,
said the addition of the United States
was most welcome and would prob
ably mean the speeding up of the
wars close in proportion to the extent
this country was prepared to enter
into the struggle. -. ~
DR.. Augustus Marques, consul for
France and vice consul for Russia,
would not predict the effect of Amer
ica's act but admitted it was very
satisfactory to the governments he
represents although he has received
no messages from them. He expects
to be officially informed of the declar.
alton of war by both Russia and
France. III.
Officially we have nothing to say
regarding the declaration of war by
United States, but the members Of
the consulate are willing to help in
any way, and personally welcome
United States as an ally of Japan"

Honolulu Takes War News Quietly, Backs Wilson
What HonoIulans Say Of the War

w. r. HARRINGTON: Stand by
the Administration is the command
ing spirit of the hour. And that means
the administration in Hawaii as well
as Washington. If there is one local
feature brought to the front by the
present national crisis, 1t is the Wis
dom of the Governor of Hawaii in
making every possible effort to de-
fvelop the National Guard of Hawaii
and bring II to the best possible state
OF quantity and Quality-preparedness.
Yet for this he is made the specific
object of a most treacherous attack.
This is significant of the brand OF Am
erican loyalty to be found in the
hearts of men sponsoring and support
ing this attack. II Hawaii has men,
American men, of the type that Is
carrying our country forward in its
splendid mission, these men will come
to the front in Hawaii like Americans,
and not as treacherous, white-biooded
lfyphenates who stab their country in
the back, though loudly proclaiming
their good intentions. This is time
when the nation is getting right down
to brass tacks; time when treachery
should be given its just AMI prompt
deserts; and the leaders in this work
nailed to the cross of infamy where
they belong. g.. :!
NORMAN WATKINS: II is difficult
to say in specific terms just what
Hawaii should do, but certainly it Is
the duty of the people of the territory
to practise the strictest economy for
we are all going to be called on to
bear unusual financial burdens to
meet national needs.
SPEAKER H. L. HOLSTElN: I
have written letter to Company X,
N. G. H., on Hawaii of which ! was
formerly captain, expressing the hope
that every man will respond If the
call to duty is sounded through the
islands. The real meaning of this
crisis has come home to these boys
IN the sinking Of the Aztec and the
supposed loss of several Hawaiians.

their loyalty. - ...~..
