BRITATN's SKIPPING MERGER.

News by telegraph from London Of huge British
steamship merger gives evidence that Britain, with
characteristic grasp Of the worlds merchant marine
situation, is getting ready for latter the war;
The British are aware of the fact that the United
States is coming to a commanding position in sea
affairs through its immense possibilities for con-
struction of vessels. The German blockade has not
only imposed on America duty at sea, but opened
the door of opportunity for unrivalled merchant
marine expansion. Meanwhile British shipping is
suffering tremendous blows, and many of the finest
steamers are in actual war service.
Sir Owen Phillips, chairman Of the Royal Mail
and other steamship companies, in a speech at the
meeting Of the Holt line forecast some united action
by British shipowners to meet keen competition
after the war The Associated Press quotes him as
follows:
Bearing in mind the vitality essential character
Of the service of the British mercantile marine
whether in peace war and what the governments
of other countries-frendIy and the reverse-are
doing or propose to do to foster their respective
merchant navies," he said, 1--WE trust our govern
ment will be wideawake to the conditions like
ly to arise and will to it that British shipping
shall not be unfairly handicapped in the fierce com
petition which will ensue with the state-aided mer
chant feets of our present enemies of neutrals or
even Of our Allies.
"The intervention of state departments in ship
ping affairs may be desirable and necessary under
the abnormal stress Of war conditions but in my
opinion the unique position obtained by British
shipping which has been of such incalculabe aid to
the country throughout it's course, was due to the
individual and unfettered energy, enterprise and
resourcefulness of our shipowners.
"There has been some talk lately of the nation
alization Of British shipping If such policy we're
seriously to be entertained there would be grave
danger of our losing our premier position in the
shipping world and trust therefore, the govern
ment will realize the desirability in the national
interest, Of reverting, as circumstances per-
nit, to individual endeavor and freedom from gov.
crnment interposition, except where this is neces
sary in order to secure far as possible safety of
life at sea and fair play for British shipping when
menaced by the orders and restrictions of foreign
governments"
The great merger noted in Sundays dispatches
is probably part of Britain's program for sea pre-
paredness.

HOW ToDIsPLAY OUR FLAG.

e (Fronr the San Francisco Chamber Of commerce)
In order to show patriotism ittingly and to indi'
cate the unanimous support Of the president in his
course in this great world war, the American flag
IL being displayed literally throughout our city.
Our hag, however, is more than piece OF bunting.
II il an emblem Of our government and its prlncl'
PIES and as such an emblem our flag should be
treated with due respect AS sometimes through
thoughtlessness or carelessness our flag Is handled
without the respect which should be shown to it,
the following rules found in the Army and Navy
Journal of April a. 1917 are published for the in
formation of ell who display the fag
1. Our flag should never be used az a cover for q
table or desk or otherwise placed where any OBJ
ject can be put upon It. ~.
g 1t should not be used to decorate q platform
60 that the speakers or those occupying the platform
would be above the flag. II used about platform it
should be hung above the platform that it would
be above those occupying the platform. The flag
must be above the man.
8. Our dag should never be draped or festooned,
however attractiyey the eolors may lend themselves
to such effect If draping festoon effects are de.
sired they should be made with red, white and blue
bunting. When using bunting the red should be on
top, the white should follow, and the blue should be
below. s
4. OF course everyone knows that in flying our
nag the union should be up. If our flag is not flown
from mast or staff it should be so hung that the
union is to the north or east as the case may be- the
union should not be to the west or south.
If the foregoing rules be observed our flag will be
treated with the dignity and reverence to which it is
entitled as the emblem Of all those principles Of lib
erty and justice upon which our government is
founded. %2@ ~ /

WEARING DOWN NORWAY.

eFrom the New York world)s
OF oil the neutrals, Norway has been by far the
greatest sufferer from Germany's submarine war
fare. In April seventy.fye Norwegian vessels were
sunk by German raiders and over one hundred
sailors lost their lives. In March, sixtyfo Norwe
gian vessels were sunk, and in February forty-one
for the two months 1872 persons were reported killed
or missing Up to April 3, according to the figures
published by the state department at Washington
of total of 6S6 neutral ships sunk by German sub
marines 410 were Norwegian.
AT the beginning Of the war Norway's merchant
navy ranked fourth among those of the nations Of
the world, outclassing Frances. In the last three
years German submarines have destroyed more Nor.
wegian than French ships Of commerce. Between
the nation Of peace with Germany and the nation
ranged against it in war; the neutral has borne the
heavier losses from raiders attacks
Small wonder that Norway regards the situation
as intolerabe and that relations with Germany are
near the breaking point.

SAVING OF DAYLIGHT

Now that the elections are over and
the excitements of a political cam
pagn have quoted down for some
time, we can more earnestly take up
the cause Of advancing the clocks in
Honolulu, so as to permit OF a greater
measure of daylight out Of working
hours.
Much has been written, but too
much cannot be written of the ad-
vantages to be derived from a move
ment to advance the clocks so that a
greater part Of the labor of the day
may be performed in the cool and
more pleasant hours of the morning,
and permit of enjoying the sunlight in
the open air during the afternoon.
1t will be recalled that, few weeks
cised over the food situation, Govern
or Pinkham, through authority grant
ed him by the Legislature, appointed
a commission charged with the duty
Of handling every phase Of the food
problem as 1t applies to this territory.
The necessity for a careful study Of
our food situation is apparent today
just as it was then, and unless we are
productive we may be called upon to
face a serious problem, if the ordinary
channels of transportation are inter
fered with and certain of the vessels,
that now ply between the coast and
Honolulu, are Communicated by our
government for emergency purposes.
So important does this appear, that
many of our backwards and spare
acreage of ground have been pressed
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-06-07

into service and planted to the neces-
stiles Of sustaining life. Think Of 1t
and you will appreciate what it would
mean if the clock were advanced one
hour and each Of US were privileged
to spend that additional time in our
back-yards and in our gardens. The
chairman Of a special committee on
daylight saving of Boston says: The
daylight saving plan would be a great
help to the movement for the increase
Of the production Of food by giving
working men an extra hour Of day.
light in the evening for work in their
gardens An hours work a day in a
garden, if wisely directed, will pro-
duce an amazing amount of food.
believe this to be Of the utmost i'm.
portance. Unless something unfor.
seen happens the world Is going to
experience the greatest food shortage
within the next year or so that it has
known since the Napoleonic wars.
Anything that will enable working
men to produce a part of their own
food is, therefore, of the utmost i'm
portance."
There are many reasons for advanc.
ing the clocks in Honolulu, and this,
as outlined above, Is but one Of the
many. Think It over. This commun.
ity is no different from other commun-
tiles and If an advance has been made
in other communities and found bene-
fetal, is there any good reason for
feeling that an advance would not be
equally as beneficial for the citizens
of Honolulu

With the other nations, all of which were rated
individually below $4,000, 100000, trailing.
Since 1910 the United States has increased in
wealth faster than in any like period il it's history
No one with knowledge of conditions believes the
wealth of the British Empire has been increased by
the war. No one supposes the wealth of France, of
Germany, of Russia of Turkey, of Austria, of Bel
GUM has been increased by destruction of human
life or property.
The best informed economists of today estimate
the wealth of America at $3.50, 600 100000 and the
United States is credited with having between 40
and 80 per cent of the wealth of the world
The wealth of America gross and per capita not
only is greater than that of the British Empire of
today or Of any period in it's history but it probably
equals the gross wealth of the British Empire and
the German Empire and the Republic of France
combined.
