War Order Cancellation,

II Is announced that about 800 600, 600
In war orders have been Cancelled
since the federal reserve board issued
its warning against the purchase Of
short-term British and French treasury
bills. Apparently this is a policy
adopted by the British authorities 70
curtail their indebtedness In this coun-
try. The financing OF allied trade here
has been rendered more difficult by the
action OF the reserve board, which has
not only been effective in preventing
the sale Of the short-term notes but
has shaken the confidence of the in
vesting public to a certain extent in
all foreign loans. In this situation
Great Britain is sending in heavy ship
ments Of gold and is taking advantage
Of the cancellation clauses contained
cancellation applies chiefly to finished
materials and does not affect raw
products at present.
1t Is estimated that the total gold i'm
ports through the port of New York
in the last nve weeks have been in ex-
cess OF $200.oo0,0oo. This gold move
ment would probably not have reached
such totals but for the/reserve boards
warning. Whether the shipments to
this country in the near future will
continue on such a heavy scale Ia, Of
course, a matter of conjecture, but in
ternational bankers are OF the opinion
that We have not yet seen even the be-
ginning of the end of the movement 1t
Is thought that the British treasury Of
nctals are now solicitOus not only for
the payment Of current obligations, but
for the paving of the way for another
loan in this market. The next Offering
OF the bonds Of the allied nations in
this country will more than likely be
unsecured except by the pledge of faith
OF the governments behind them.

End Of "Peace Scares."

1t is doubtful If another peace scare"
can affect the speculative markets in
such violent manner as has been the
case on more than one occasion in re-
cent months. Peace is not likely to
come suddenly, but in spite of the
noise and bluster in the capitals Of the
principal belligerent countries, peace
is at least subject of earnest con-
temptation, and that is always a nee
essary preliminary to its actual estab-
lishment. The process will take weeks
and months. however. during which pc
rlod Americans can reorganize their
business affairs on a peace basis.
There is reason to believe that this
reorganization has advanced quite rap
idly. In a recent address the head Of
the Bethlehem Steel Company stated
that, while the elimination Of the war
VIII be followed by decrease In am
munition. steel orders and concessions
in the price schedule, the domestic de-
mand Tor steel rails and other finished
material. including shipbuilding and
other construction work, will be much
greater than 1t is at present. He ex-
presses the opinion that we are as far
from the zenith today as we were in
1901. and that the coming years will
bring with them such an enormous do
mestic demand that our entire steel ca
pacfty will be absorbed without the
necessity OF export.

OVER
. FOR WAR Brides
Investors Now Disposed to
Pay More Attention to
Peace Securities.
NO MORE "SCARES" LIKELY

NEW YORK, January 6.-The up
ward swing in the stock market which
started Immediately on the resump-
tion of business Tuesday was the first
visible evidence of the f1rmer tendency
that has been developing in the past
few weeks. In some quarters this
f1rmness has been attributed to the re-
ply of the entente allies to the German
overtures for peace. which. though
stern and unrelenting on the surface,
have not entirely closed up every ave-
nue. for the cessation of hostilities.
1t Is considered. however, that the
day of the war stock has passed. and
that henceforth investors and specu-
iators will concern themselves with
the stocks which represent the activi-
ties of peaceful commerce. 1t must
also be considered that the recent
liquidation in the security markets has
greatly improved their technical posi-
tion. implying a reduction in market
prices somewhat approximating the
levels established prior to the recent
imitation. Increased ease in the money
market. based upon the favorable bank
ing conditions and the renewal Of the
gold imports, are factors Of much sig
nincance at this time

Alive to His Responsibilities

General n. 4. Greene commanding Camp Lewis.
near Tacoma. Washington. has proper sense Of
his responsibility for the health and morals Of the
thousands Of men at the great environment.
He does not meet civilian sentiment with con
temptuous surs at "goody goodies" He does not
believe that il is no public how the soldier
behaves.
And, on the other hand he does not propose to
expose his soldiers 10 the bOOteggers. the gamblers
and the vice gentry who wait like vutures to Seize
upon the young men of the uniform
Seattle permitted these uncIean and lawess
things and Gen. Greene gave fair warning that I'M
less the city cleaned up and cleaned up quickly he
would refused to allow officers men of the camp
10 visit it, Seattle dalied with the warming; Mayor
Gill temporized; the police force did nothing pat
terning after its head, the mayors appointee.
Then. calmly and in businesske way. General
Greene posted general orders in Camp Lewis for
bidding all officers and enlisted men of the camp to
visit the city Of Seattle unless upon duty or under
orders from camp military authorities or on specific
permission in writing under the commander S
authority.
That has walked up Seattle. 4 tremendous hue
and cry is raised. Clean up the city" And Seattle
will be cleaned up.
General Greene deserves the thanks Of the nation
for the prompt effective, intelligent manner in
which he is acting for the protection and the respect
due the uniform and the young men of Uncle Sam
army. He was alive to his responsibilities

- - PROPER BOUNDS

When the supreme court of the United States yes.
terday upheld in part the decree of Federal Judge
Dayton of West Virginia. reversing the court of
appeals, there decided of the most important
labor questions before the courts and before the
country
In reality two cases involving union organization
and activities, the principles under consideration
resolved into one vital point-whether the individual
shall have the right of freedom of contract or
whether union organization is paramount. The SUI
preme court has said that individual freedom of
contract stands
Incidentally, illegal acts and lawless picketting
by the unions are condemned. The court upholds
the right of union organization but does not sane
ton the lengths to which the unions have gone in
trying to club employers into line.
The supreme, court reversed Judge DaytOns
decree in SO far he held the union organizations
illegal.
Under the supreme courts decision the unions
nave no right to carry out their coercive methods in
trying to make employees break their contracts with
employers not to join unions, nor have the unions
the right to threaten employers that their aborers
will be weaned from such contracts.
1t is rather characteristic of Samuel Gompers
president of the American Federation of Labor that
he criticized the court decision ANY court decision
which does not yield to labor all it demands is sure
OF criticism by most union officials.

Honolulu. Dec. II, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bullet!n.
Dear Sir: Apropos OF the present
knitting activity and the contribution

copied from December edition Of Fur

THE KNITIRE.
A girl there was and she did her share,
,E"cn rs you and H.
She tried knitting socks for the army

The wool that she used took a hank
TO the pair
And oh, how the soldiers Who g.;
Their. would swear
Even as vou and H.
Oh, the fears We waste and the tears
We waste
And how on our heads We stand,
Attempting TO sew the kitchener
toe.
(But we must be slow for it simply

A girl there was and she tried in vain.
Even as you and ~
She started to purl and then to knit
plain;
ripped it all out and began it AGAIN.
The poor maiden feared that she
would so insane
Even as you and ~
forts it cost,
With our anger to white heat
famed,
Making mistakes-we didn't know
why
Finding dropped stitches-we never
knew why)
And did not understand.
The wool was ripped-how the knitter
sighed.
Even as you and ~
The yarn was tangled and knotted and
tied;
(And off Of her needle the stitches
would slide)
But over and over and over she tried
Even as you and ~
She thought 1t a shame-but twas
part of the game
When the needle would split a
strand.
Then one day at last she came to
know why,
(She laughed at herself that she'd
never known why)
And finally could understand

LLOYD GEORGE WINS.

Once more Lloyd George has demonstrated his
ascendancy in British craftsmanship. His Paris
speech reused the bitterest criticism against it. and
he followed with scathing denunciation of his
critics And, since just at this time the disasters
in Italy illustrated the sound eommonsense of his
arguments for an allied war council his detractors
were beaten back. The Daily News, a London paper
long hostile to the premier admits the force of his
statements and the Daily Telegraph says he won
hands down. Other British journals of influence
hail him as the victor, while the Express says the
speech demonstrated Premier Lloyd George is the
inevitable head of the nation in this hour of trial
and urges him ito rid the ship of state of the bar.

Another illustration of a man who had the cour-
age of his convictions and not afraid to speak
out when the country needed plain speaking.

THE STACKER.

Why don't he volunteer to serve
In Uncle Sammy's grand reserve?
He knows quite we'll his country's call;
Has no regard for this, at all.
He never thinks to do his part,
Because he has q Slacker's heart.
He walks along the streets quite spry,
To feign indifference he must try;
When suddenly he takes alright,
It's just picture what a sight
OF Uncle Sam with pointing finger.
fake it from me! He doesn't linger.
Why don't you do it? Do it quick"
The Slacker's skull is very thick.
1t never penetrates the grey,
What Uncle Sammy has to say.
81 want you Now" Oh, what q Mutt.
The words fall on a brainless nut.
He lied on registration day
Conscripticn's law he'll not obey.
He seeks the nuptial to take,
Or any other useless fake.
What ever else, he'll never fight,
He has the Slacker's earmarks right.
Oh! what a useless, shameless pest,
A blot on human kind at best.
His feelings are for Self alone.
He would not give dog the bone.
Behold his attftude-his pose. =
The Slacker's ring is in his nose.
For country's call-for country's sake,
For Liberty he will not stake
His bit, nor will he ever be
But half a man, not he, not he.
His formula contains no sand
It's plain, he is the Stacker Brand"
A sneak. a snake, a cur, blasted
Dirty rotten scourge. dodgasted
Coward, thief, and all the rest
Can't spell the name that suits the
best
There's just one place for such as he
Not on the earth-eternity.

A SOLDIERS APPRECIATION.

As q soldier in the service write you
On the tropics Of Honolulu today,
To ask what q man In uniform should
do
When some ladies in town come his
way.
Is he to jump in the ocean
Or to get behind q tree In the park.
Or should he be a lightning ehanes4
artist tkf
So that he could change his clothes
In the dark?
Now this does not refer to al ladies'.
As they are not all the same,
And 1t should be remembered. We are
men amongst men,
And have to wear the uniform IN
our game.
1t was q pleasure to US soldiers
To read in the newspaper today
A poem by Miss Restarick. entitled
Hang Up the Soldiers Stocking
for Christmas Day"
It shows the difference IN the opiD.
ion of people.
And we are all glad OF that,
And to Miss Restarick and ladies Ike
you, M

racks, II. T.

Welcome to our large city
That is to be erected up here;
There will be buildings Of every d..
scription
And compilations is sure to be near.
Our drill grounds are piled high with
lumber
And workmen are here by the score;
Also sergeants and master electrians
Detached from the signal corps.
For Cashier will have a new telephone
system,
Much improved from the one that it
had:
1t Is called the common battery system
And l know all concerned will be
glad.
The switchboard will be Of the latest
model,
With two operators always there;
Your connections will be had much
faster
To, and from, anywhere.
It is known that we, had poor system,
AS you could not get Central half Of
the time;
But it kept Central busy, ringing
Ten phones, on some party lines.
But now all this will be different,
And we will have better service, We
know,
With two Hello boys on duty
Connections should not be SOW.
You don't have to ring to get central
A phone at times is an important
thing
And please always try to answer
When you hear your bells ring.
And when you wish to call Central
Take your receiver off the hook,
But If you wish long distance
Give him the number out of the
book.
One thing to be remembered
When your talking is thru
Always hang up your receiver,
For central may wish to call you.
If our phone is in trouble
1t can be repaired right away
If you will notify central about it
BY using phone cross the way.

How much longer will Hawaii permit it to be
said that indulgenees allowed civilians which
are denied soldiers-that civilians can buy all the
booze they want, while it may not legally be sold

us to say that we must all be on par. and that,
since the man in uniform is asked not to use in
toxicants, the civilians should observe the same
rule?
