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 broached the subject Of peace after
the conquest of Poland. 1t was rejected. n year
ago almost TO a day Germany tried again Again
there was rejection, more scornful than the nrst.
Now on the eve CT Christmas, after a success1ul
drive into Italy, and after the collapse OF RUSSIA
Germany is again seeking loophole OF escape Ior
the inevitable defeat If the war goes on.
Berlin's latest move must be interpreted In lne
light of the last previous proposal. On December
: 10 1916. the German chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg made to diplomatic representatives OF neu-
tral nations at Berlin a suggestion OF peace, and
simultaneously communicated it to Germany IN a
ieichstag speech. At the same time, Austria, bul'
paria and Turkey made identical proposals.
The exact terms which Germany was willing TO
offer never reached the public For two weeks tnere
was considerable diplomatic maneuvering, during
which the Allies made plain that they did not De-

shortly afterward this was followed by the entry

However, the chancellor in his reichstag speech
had sketched the outlines Of the proposed terms.

Justice, Impartial and Complete,
For All

Tn letters TO the daily papers of Honolulu, DR..
ri Homer HAYES objects to the publicity that has
attended his indictment by the territorial grand
Jury on the charge Of performing criminal opera
ton. and asks that public judgment be withheld
until the trial of his case. he says specifically;
TO my surprise and horror It has seemed that the
nress of this city, not oEly have taken II for granted
that must be guilty of this infamous charge; but
have proceeded In every way-6y editorial comment
and otherwise-to stir up feeling In the community
against me and daily my name in editorial COM
ment held up to shame and degradation.
The daily papers Of Honolulu at no time have
attempted to stir up feeling against Dr. Hayes nor
10 prei Judge his case The facts of his indictment
have been stated.
The editorial comment of the Honolulu papers
has been directed solely toward ,unmasking the
third party in the care. Z. .3s s,
1t il entirely obvious that before The grand jury
could have indicted DR.. Hayes, it must have been
satisfied that the girl alleged to have been operated
upon he'd been found in the condition precedent to
such an operation. And it is the man responsible
for this girls condition who should be stripped al
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
party, to see the newspapers quieted. 1t is not
particularly comfortable for this man, whoever he
may 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 80 weak that it prefers silence
at such time as this rather than an outspoken de-
mand that the victimizer Of girl be exposed for
what he iss We think not, and we hold that atti
tude because this paper is daily encouraged by eit
zens who feel that the case disagreeable as it is
must he followed to it's ultimate conclusion for the
safety of decent society. - $3.50. -
There are times when IT is more dangerous to re.
main silent than TO speak out; times when it is
worse to pass over nasty details than to publish
them; times when public welfare demands public
statements This is uch time.
There is probably not man or woman in Homo
lulu but hopes that DR.. Hayes can clear himself
for only the most deprared would wish to zee him
rest under the criticism whieb the srsnd Jury In.

NOT AKIN TO CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: In your issue OF the 18th. you
have an article in which the Rev. Sam
Kamakaia is quoted as saying that his
religion Is akin to Christian Science
AS the Rev. Kamakaia follows the Rev.
kekipi'S teachings and as kekipi him,
self told me he does not claim TO teach
as Christian Science does, his follow
ers ought to know there is nothing
akin. no relationship between the two
teachings.
II seems TO me. that with the found
er OF the Hoomana Eaauao church
realizing that Christian Science and
its teaching are not alike, the fol
lowers ought to realize and the pub
lie ought to be informed Of this fact.
Sincerely,

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Although America is now fully
committed to helping the Entente Al
lies and is vigorously assisting and
carrying on her preparations, We hear
occasionally words Of indecision and
lukewarmness that show a lack Of

given due regard to.

GERMANYS VICTORIES ARE FRUITLESS

and commerce are to be left for disposition to the
peace conference.
1t is evident that Germany is Offering large CON
Cessions. Whether the offer is or is not bona fdc,
it shows Germany 10 be "playng out her string
very rapidly II, after Russia has collapsed and
she has won a startling victory in Italy. Germany
is ready to speak of such peace terms the Cen
tral Powers must be approaching either exhaustion
or such internal friction that Berlin fears the show
of strength and confidence cannot he kept up much
longer.
The suggestion that Poland shall be under Aus
trian suzeraintv. and the further suggestion that
Turkey be left intact. reveal Berins fear that
Austria and Turkey may soon be reduced to the
point of negotiating for separate peace. The Brit
ish successes at Bagdad and Jerusalem must be
shaking Turkish power to its foundations and Tur-
key now offers point of approach for Allied dip
lomacy. Austria and Hungary are quarrelng over
food supplies and Berlin. it is Well-knOwn, had to
come to Austria's aid on the Italian line to hold
the Dual Monarchy safe through the winter.
Germany has apparently abandoned all hope of
getting back her colonies and is trying to
make the best bargain she they pass to- Ber-
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 ravished
countries, and reparaton for the wrong there, and
Turkey must be given fitting punishment for her
cruelties 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 attempt to fix respon-
sbiity for further bloodsled 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 Fer associates is written
plain if only the Allies hang together and put for
ward their maximum of strength n'fullest cOopera-
ton.
I 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 coHquests as ustifying her in standing by
her previous proposals, much less asking for con-
cessions instead of making them Far from doing
this Germany is hunting desperately to end the war
before the spring opens attacks which threaten to
smash her lines and split Ler alliance to shreds
