For the third time Germany Is seeking peace
through negotiation instead Of By the sword For
the third time her peace offer will be rejected by
the Allies.
Germany first preached the subject Of peace after
the conquest OF Poland. 1t rejected. year

there was rejection, more scorntuI than the nrst.

Editor Honolulu Star Bullet n.
Sir: In your issue OF the 18th. !ou
have an article in which the Rev. sam
kamakaia is quoted as saying that his
religion is akin 10 Christian Science,
AS the Rev. Kamakaia follows the Rev
Kekipi's teachings and as kektpi him,
self told me he does not claim 10 teach
as Christian Science does. his follow
ers ought 20 know there is nothing
akin, ne relationship between the two
teachings.
II seems to me. that with the found
er Of the Hoomana NaauaO Church
realizing that Christian Science and
its teaching are not alike, the fol,

until the trial of his case. He says specifically

and otherwise-to stir up feeling in the community

The editorial comment of the Honolulu papers
has been directed solely toward unmasking the
third party in the case. p k....
II Is entirely obvious that before the grand jury
conld have indicted DR.. Hayes, it must have been
satisfied that the girl alleged TO have been operated
upon had been found in the condition precedent to
sueh an operation. And it is the man responsible
for this girls condition who should be stripped OF
his mask and made to bear his portion of the guilt
There is not the slightest question that it would
afford great relief for this third man, this unknown
marty, to see the newspapers queted. 1t is not
particularly comfortable for this man, whoever he
NAV be. to feel that public inquiry is hot upon his
trial and that ultimately he must be exposed.
But is the conscience of this city SO deadened is
its moral backbone weak. that it prefers silence
at sucb time as this rather than an outspoken de

GERMANYS VICTORIES ARE FRUITLESS

and commerce are to be left for disposition to the
peace conference
II is evident that Germany is Offering large con
CcssiOns. Whether the offer is or is not bona hde,
it shows Germany to be ''playing out her string
very rapidly. IT, after Russia has collapsed ana
she has won startling victory in ltaty Germany
is ready to speak Of such peace terms. the Cen
trial Powers must be approaching either exhaustion
or such internal friction that Berlin fears the show
of strength and confidence cannot Ike kept up much
longer.
The suggestion that Poland shall be under Aus
trian suzerainty, and the further suggestion that
Turkey be left intact, reveal Bcrlns fear tnaI
Austria and Turkey may bc reduced t" the
point of negotiating for separate peace. The BRIT
ish successes at Bagdad and Jerusalem must be
shaking Turkish power to it's foundations, and Iur'
key now offers point of approach for Allied dip
lomacy. Austria and Hungary quarrehng over
food supplies. and Berlin, it is well KNOWN had ia
come to Austrias aid on the Italian line to hold
the Dual Monarchy safe through the winter
Germany has apparently abandoned all hope OF
getting back her overseas colonies, and is trying TO
make the best bargain she as they pass to Der
lin, Portugal and Japan. And the concession as to
Alsace- Lorraine is significant Of this bargaining
spirit in which Germany approaches the end OF one
year of war and the beginning OF another.
The terms. of course. will be rejected if they are
ever formally made, which is doubtful. The Allies
demand the complete restoration of the ravlshed
countries. and reparatOn for the wrong there. and
Turkey must be given fitting punishment for her
crueties and expressions. not less than for her
readiness to enter the cause of Germany
1t will not do, however, to feel that if these terms
are rejected, Germany will be- near collapse. The
very rejection will be capitalized by the public men
and press of Germany to delude still longer the mil
lions of people fed lies about the determination
of jealous enemies to crush Germany forever. The
rejection will be used in an attempt to fix respOn-
sibIity for further bIoOdslod upon the Allies. To
this extent Germany will spur her weakened people
on to yet more sacrifices and efforts.
Yet the Allies may derive solid satisfaction from
the increasing evidences that Germany has passed
the zenith of her strength and is on the downhill.
The end of Germany and Ter associates is written
plain if only the Allies hang together and put for
ward their maximum Of strength in fullest coOpera
ton.
And, as the end of year Of war approaches. we
may derive comfort from the knowledge that Ger
many does not gard the Russian chaos and the
Italian conquests as justfying her in standing by
her previous proposals, much less asking for con
eessions instead of making them. Far from doing
this, Germany is hunting desperately 10 end the war
before the spring opens attacks which threaten to
smash her lines and split Ler alliance to shreds
