ESTABLISHMENT Of ANTI-SUbMARINE
Division OF 5. NAVY IS URGED

and placed in the hands Of carefully
selected experts.
The proposed anti-submarine divi.
sion might constitute q subcommittee
of the general board and would, no
doubt, be connected with the Office
Of naval operations. But it Is urged
that it would have the special advan-
tage of concentration upon this single
task. It's cooperation with the Brit.
ish division could be closer and more
effective, it is believed, than could
be obtained by another agency Of the
navy department. It could develop q
selected personnel for the study of
this one paramount problem. Finally,
course Of action having been de-
termined upon, 1t could devote its
energies to the direction and prosecu'
ton of the engineering work in prep.
aration for the operation without in
terruption from the general affairs of
the naval establishment.
"A not inconsiderable benefit that
the navy department would receive
from the creation of such a division, Il
is believed, would prove to be a feel.
ing Of confidence on the part of the
public that the task of developing a
positive naval policy to strike effec.
lively at the whole submarine power
had been entrusted to certain experts,
and that the administration Of the
navy department had thereby made
it a special part Of its program to
evolve and prepare for some concrete
plan Of action against the submarine
menace.
The record Of anti-submarine work
from the beginning, in 1915, does not,
it is believed, incline the public to
rest entirely content with the suffi
cheney Of the measures undertaken
thus far. A definite assurance that
further progress, and Of a radically
different sort, was being sought and
that special agencies had been pro-
vided to achieve more effective re-
suits should strengthen the admins.

Especial Star. Bulletin oorrsspondenee.)


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 25.-
Establishment of an anti-submarine
division in the navy department to be
charged with the formulation of plans
and study Of the use Of inventions to
combat the submarine menace is
urged in statement issued at the
headquarters of the navy league of
the United States here today.
Such a division" says the state
ment, "exists in the British naval es-
Enlistment and has since last Feb
ruary when the present unrestricted
submarine campaign was begun.
The recommendation is that the
anti-submarine division Of the United
States Navy department should CO.
operate with the corresponding divt-
sion Of the British admiralty for the
purpose Of deciding upon effective
methods of offense against the whole
submarine power as we'll as to per-
feet the present palliatives employed
in defense against submarine attack.
"Tn making this proposal the league
only reflects expert opinion, which
now seems agreed that offensive op-
erations against the whole power Of
the submarines, in the vicinity Of
their bases, is feasible provided ade-
Quate preparations are made. The
creation of an anti-submarine divl-
sion is urged as a means to secure
concentration Of authority and of re-
sponsibility, with the technically
trained personnel Of the navy depart
ment, to the end that concrete plan
of action for the future can be de-
cided upon now and the engineering
work necessary in preparation for the
execution Of that plan be carried
through under centralized direction.
Consideration to plans for often
sive operations against submarines Is
being given today by the general
board Of the navy while preparations
for the ultimate execution Of such
plans would be directed by the chief
of naval operations. But the general
board is necessarily employed with
other problems as we'll, and the work
Of preparing for and carrying out any
plan would constitute but a part Of
the work of the office of naval opera
tons.
1T is alto getheT probable that prep
aration TO-. such an offensive opera
tion as would be required to strike
effectively at the whole power of the
submarine would involve special prob
lems-the development Of special
types of monitors or other craft, the
of air forces. etc-which
could we'll be segregated from the
main work o. the naval establishment

TRAIL THE DESERVING COWARD

Most certainly the people of Honolulu should and
will suspend judgment in connection with any and
all names brought into the most unhappy and heart
rending tragedy of Miss Berg.
But the community mind is definitely made up
the responsibility of the police authorities to run
to earth and properly brand the shrve soued hound
l. human form who was the partner in Miss Berg's
downfall, who aided in the crime tn caused her
death and who finally deserted her.
There are some things in the list of human frail-
ties that can be forgiven, but there is no hell hot
enough for the eternal conscience frying # the
coward that leaves a woman to bear unsupported
the curse of a misstep that was not made alone.
The demand upon the authorities is that they shall
make searching and eeaseless invef gaton, to the
end that every innocent person associated with the
affair shall be freed from suspicion, and the cow
ardly deserter be traed taken in custody, treated
as the law provides, and held before human;t.- to
receive the appropriate damnation Of all decent
women and brayehearted men.

Picking up dispatches here and there in the main
land papers, one must begin to sense the great swing
forward to tremendous future that is going on in
the United States. recent New York despatch
tells of the incorporation of the Federal Ship Build
ing company with capital of three million dollars,
as the first move of the United States Steel Corpor
alton towards the construction of the greatest ship
building plant in the world. Eghty-six acres have
been purchased for the plant and within six months
steel ships will be building the twelve ways to
be laid. This is just incident of Americas new

HAWAII BY ITSELF
(san Francisco Journal Of Commerce)

(san Francisco Journal Of Commerce)
The Territory Of Hawaii stands in class BY itself
among the states and territories having already fur
nished nearly 1000 men as volunteers in excess of
the number required from the islands to fill up the
first army. Every other state territory has been
benefited accordingly by reduction in it's net
quota On the basis of population, Hawaiis gross
quota was 240S. On April the territory had 4237
men in the National Guard, or nearly double the
number required to fill the quota Since April 1,
142 additional guardsmen and Is war volunteers for
the regulars have been recruited, making the total
contribution of the territory to the army of the
United States up to June 80, 1897 men, or 1894
more than it was required to furnish.

How jealous the Briton is of his parliamentary
freedom is shown by the fact that recently the
speaker of the house of commons was obliged to
give an explanation of the presence Of secret service
men in the building. He stated hat few days
before he received information that there was likely
to be some improper demonstrations accompanied
by physical violence, in the strangers gallery, for
which reason he had asked that the detectives be
sent there. he explained that they were not there
to impede members or restrict their liberty, but
merely for the purpose of protecting them.
