LACKS IN Merit

Several hundred persons attended
the Festival of Pele at the Old Plan
tation on King street last night and
went away with rather an empty feel
ing after paying SO cents admission
and lesser prices for lesser features
It is understood that work will com
mence soon now to clear away the
remains Of what constituted an excel
lent carnival parade but made a poor
background for q circus several
months afterwards.
Although AlsSander Hume Ford
Gordon osborne, the boy scouts. Miss
Helen Alexander and numerous others
did some hard work to make the car
nival a bowling success it was i'm
possible to get up first-rate carnival
upon such short notice with so little
material.
Scouts on every side last night an
nounced dances-it seemed there was
a fantastic orgy everywhere-and
ballyhoos were loud in their cajola'
tons on all sides, but there was little
real entertainment outside OF the Ha,
waiian band, plenty Of lemonade and
the volcano, to be had.
Those who promised attractions
hidden behind hastily erected walls
did so in a haR-heaTted way that did
not tend to arouse the crowd to en-
thusiasm.
Boys dressed as devils furnished a
little excitement when they sought
out placarded pests such as Booze
and Graft and Microbes from the
crowd and hurled them down into the
everlasting fires of the volcano, and
the ancient dresses Of a number OF
comely Hawaiian girls afforded pref,
ty sight but with the exception OF
meeting, circus style, with friends for
! chat, there was little to do.
The crowd Vas disappointed that
the Samoan dance was not staged,
but the southern islanders were I'M
able to attend owing to a departing
vessel. .'s

Is GERMANY LEARNING THE TRUTH.

The state of desperation to which the ruling class
of Germany has been driven to hold its power is
clearly demonstrated by the determination with
which division after division of German troops is
being hurled without sense or consideration, against
the advancing British in France, and which are be-
ing annihilated by the whitening fire from the AL
lies machine guns and exploding mines as fast as
sent upon the field. This sort of warfare cannot
long exist and from nkngs of the truth that reach
the outside world through sources to be relied on
there is every reason to believe that the Germans
are badly worn down.
Throughout the German empire there is smold-
ering discomfort. Such German newspapers as dare
to utter word on the war not in harmony with the
news which the powers wish the German people to
know, are making attacks on the government for it's
stand against 'lost cause" Socialists have be-
come 30 bold that they are coming out into the open
and denouncing continuation of war that can
but plunge the nation deeper by each added day of
strife. This class has been augmented by a sympa,
thetic move Of the Liberals who openly denounc
ing government that ignores the rights Of the peo
pie. The sentiment of revolt is broadcast, and
one pamphlet reads:
Our enemies will never make peace with OR gov
ernment
what have the French and English against usq It .
10 our kaiser and his friends they fighting.
The kaiser and his officers stand between US and
peace. go -. r.
It weren't for our kaiser and junkers, the English
would make peace with US. !.
Why should We be hated? The leaders are hated;
we suffer - ~.#s. ,..-f-. =.
We are winning victories and bleeding to death. We
are devastating OF our neighbors lands and
dying OF slow starvation. We defying the anger
OF world In arms and staring ruin in the face The
physical strength Of our people is exhausting; the
financial power of our nation is exhaustng; our sup
plies Of raw material exhausting: our great or
ghnizatons for the work Of peace slowly disin
tegranng We must have peace. If government
cannot procure peace, what must we do? -.
The people are beginning to awaken to the knowl.
edge that not their interests but the interests of the
rich only are being served by this fghtful slaughter
of men in the ranks and starvation throughout the
empire, to be followed by years of taxation.

LOCATION OF MAUI HIGH SCHOOL


Editor Honolulu Star.Bulletin,
Sir: During the last few weeks
the question has again arisen as to
the permanent location of the new
Maui high school = handsome dona
ton has recently bean given for a
new building. It Il undeFst0od thai
the grounds were being prepated and
the house of the principal Of the high
school about to be beSun W1ens the
whole question aof the location was
again revived. essss..'
Where shall the new high school be
located is the question that for months
has been discussed BY the people Of
Central Maui. If this Is to be pub
lie high school for Maui county, all
residents of Central Maui and Of La
haina and Hama are vitality interested
If q Maui institution can be built ur
which can compete with those o.
Honolulu in efficiency and conven
fence, most Maui citizens viii prefer
it, ?, .. @s,s4r- .is,...-4r e..
The statement has recently beer
made by those who know the facts
that at least SO pupils from Hama
hu1b 0uQ sLaHalHd <WOulu pe SSnt u
the Mani High School II more con
yenient location SHOULD be secured
thar the present one, In the present
location ct Hamakuapoko 1t is impos
sible to arrange homes or boarding
places for these children.
ina larger community many homes
would be open to children wishing to
attend a high school, and any child
who is able to enter such an institu
ton could find friends to help him. A
Maui county high school should be
easily accessible 70 all.
Z Is It wise to locate such a public
institution where no land is available
for private homes in the near vicin
ity. We think not, especially when
there are near-lying communities
where this Is not the case. The ques
ton which Is to be decided does mol
concern a private institution but a
public one, one belonging to the citi
zens of Maui county. The institution
is to meet the needs of the entire
Maui county public. With this thought
in mind we urge that Q more central
location be carefully considered.

SPANS OPPOSING FACTIONS.

Spain's cabinet troubles, which have figured
good deal in recent dispatches, are due mainly to
the bitter struggle in ,Alfonsos kingdom between
the German and pro. Entente parties The latter
seems to have popular support, much as in Greece,
but cannot win marked asceHdaney with the king.
Count Romanones, former premier, is looked upon
as the leader Of the anti Germans though he insists
that what he does is inspired not so much by hos
tility toward Berlin as by anxiety to see his own
country IN the right course ~.@,.z.
Senior Garcia Prieto, the premier whose resigna,
ton has just been made public, was greeted with
jubilation by the pro-Germaus ousbis accession to
ONCE but the kaisersts rather waned in enthusiasm
when Preto declared himself the friend of England
and France. g. n Il
BE delicately limited that circumstances might so
develop that he might be obliged to 60 to the Cortes
for mandate for new and frmer policy. The pro-
Entente journals having made a point of the fact
that the new premier was member of the govern
ments that made the agreements with England and
France, Senior Garcia Prieto said II am the same
man that was yesterday and always. remain the
same man that / was when in 1904 ] was a member
of Ne government that inaugurated the policy of
rappr0rhement between Spain and France 1 am the
same man who in 1910 signed the FrancoSpanish
treaty on Morocco. My ideas on the subject of in
ternational policy with regard to my country have
not varied" #E.
While Germany is using every device of diplomacy
to keep from break with Spain, the U-boat raids
are almost as intolerabe to Madrid as to Christia
mia, Norway. Each sinking of Spanish vessel is
greeted with general excavations by the Spanish
people, and no cabinet which does not take firm
attitude toward Berlin is likely to last.

WE ARE AT WAR.

Uncle Sans action in taking over the two biggest
Matson iners-the Matsonia and Maui-orlVes
home TO Hawaii the fact that eur nation is in war
TO win which community interest must be subordln
ated to national interest.
II is a hard blow to island commerce, particular
" with a large amount Of sugar awaiting shipment
But if the government will allow the use OF the seiz
ed German ships the situation will be bettered- Ger
tanly the liners cannot be taken away without
some compensation. Hawaiis sugar is needed az
badly in the markets Of the Allies as HaWalrs ships
are needed in the government service
With the Communicating of these vessels, there
will probably be an agitation for suspending the
coastwse law to allow foreign vessels to carry pas
sengers between Hawaii and mainland ports. This
is a proposal which has rightly been opposed anc
it should not again be entertained until it is certain
that the passenger traffic will suffer aeutey from
lack of domestic accommodations. -.

Valley Isle but many an Oahuan as we'll.
Maui's gameness in the face of unexpected defeats
in previous years the unsurpassed spirit Of the polo
fours which come from the Valley, and the speed
and dash shown Yesterday attest the merits of the
visiting team Oahu was soundly beaten Maui
turned out a four which had team work developed
to a high degree, even with a mere yOungster 10
year-old Edward Baldwin, playing at No. g.
Team work plus individual excellence and spirit
won for Maui, and that detracts nothing from Oahu
whose polosts gave their last ounce of effort. Well
played!
