II advised my people to take the
constitution OF the United States as a
model and to build our basic laws
about II. but my people said that Is
old; we want something new. Perhaps
when they have established the fail

DIR. Foss will spend 100 days In Wis
ting the manufacturing plants. mines,
quarries and other business establish
ments in this country and In each
place he visits he makes notes OF what
he observed. For example. he was
much interested in our municipal
power plant and asked many questions
concerning II and the rates charged
for service both in electric light and
water supply The electric power at
the mines also interested him very
much. but as he had covered that item
at the Twin Falls plant he had little
TO cay about II here.
The method OF support OF the Crys-
tai Falls club was another item that
interested him. II was the first gen.
eral club that he had visited in a
small town and he inquired particu-
larly as TO the qualifications for
members and was quite surprised to
learn that any man, rich or poor. could
belong so long as he paid his dues of
$500 per month. He said that the
club dues in his country were all very
much higher.
When he returns TO Russia he will
write an exhaustive report upon in
dustrial conditions in America for the
information OF the Russian govern
ment and the Russian people.
In response to a welcome address
he said that the one thing that struck
him during the travels so far in this
country was that Americans are so
fospitable. You know, 1t is preach
ed TO us in Russia that Americans are
business men, that they are so en-
crossed in making money that they
have not time to devote to cultivating
heart sentiments. have found Just
the opposite to be true. The Ameri-
can people have been so generous
have shown shown me so wildly that
they are watching and hoping for the
success OF the infantry democracy Of
my native country, that l have been
very much impressed. Our people
have noted with much gratitude that
you have come into this war disinter-
estedly and for the sole purpose OF ad-
vancing justice throughout the world
Your enemies have told us that you
are an imperialistic people, but we
know different. and Russia has been
greatly cheered by the, fact that you
have responded so quickly and so mob
ly to our call for assistance. Your peo-
pie have voluntarily imposed upon
themselves a great tax burden to
help bring about better conditions
throughout the world and you may De
assured that the message shall bring

ton Of your people and their ideals {"

RuSSia'S Colossal Task

Russia's new offensive in Galica is spectacular
to the point of sensatonalism but it is almost too
much to hope that the Slavs can continue winning
victories from the Germans and Austrians
The world knows that a month ago Russia 8
army had gone to pieces; the Enthusiastically ne
cessary in modern war-had broken down the gov
eminent was chaotic almost the point of anarchy
and the soldiers we're leaving the trenches with
body in authority to order them back
Miracles of reorganization in Russia may take
place, but not overnight. No earthly power in a
month or even in three rebuild the Russian rail
roads; supply them with a thousand locomotives
and 10 900 coaches man them with engineers, fire
men and train-crews; and fill the coaches, freight
and passenger with munitions, foods and men going
to the front
The best that can be hoped of Russia is that her
leaders and fighters will heroically struggle against
odds to keep up show of offense the eastern
front and make it necessary for Russia and Aus
tria to hold large bodies of troops there That will
relieve the strain the Allies in the west and al
low Italy to continue the drive to Trieste; perhaps
even give chance for an effective French and Eng
lish offensive in. Macedonia, particularly that
Greece is ready to aid the Allies in military way
If Germany can detach troops from the west, we
may expect to hear of a sudden smash at Riga or
aloAS Inc Suipd FNer, Ut somewhere else on the
front, in which the alarmed and ilOficered Rus
SLAMS will suffer tremendous losses. That will mean
that Germany has flung few divisions, perhaps
not more than two, across Belgium and Germany
and up to the Russian front to deliver thunder
bolt in the hope of crushing any more Slav ad-
vances for the summer
American engineers are laboring at the mighty
task of reconstructing Russian railroads, even as
the American mission is laboring to help rebuild
the government. Their task is colossal and it is
too much to hope that Russia will be-a serious mill
tary factor for the next six months

McADOO, ORATOR.

William G. McAdOo,l secretary of the treasury,
is q great fnancier and one who in vision ap-
proaches the statesmen,
He is not usually thought of also as speaker of
eloquence and power: Whether he is such speak
er may safely be left with the reader upon a
perusal of the following extract from his Liberty
Loan" address at Des Moines, Iowa, recently
Il like to feel, my friends, when | think about
this war; that it is the only kind of war in which
this great republic could afford to engage. We
would not 60 into any war for material ends. We
would Mt lift finger to take one square inch of
the soil of any other nation upon the face of the
earth. We do not seek to make subject any other
races upon the face of the earth. We do not want
any indemnities or any compensation for what we
do in this war. We are fighting for an ideal,
which is the only thing that makes any nation
great, whether it has material resources not, be-
cause any nation with material resources and no
ideals will in time become the prey of the con,
queror. We do not intend to be drawn at the
chariot wheels Of any military autocrats, as poor,
stricken, bleeding Belgium has been for the past
three years, and horribly devastated Serbia has
been for the same time. We intend to assert the
power of free America with such effect upon these
battle fronts in Europe that it won't be long before
the slaughter of all kinds of human beings will be
stopped
aAnd when America sits at that council table of
peace and that is one of the things about this war
that is such a noble and inspiring thing, a thing
upon which like to let my imagination dwell
when America SITS at that council of the great ma.
tons she must bear upon her brow the crown of
Justice, the crown of disnterestedness, and in her
eyes must shine the clear light of liberty and love
for humanity; she must seek nothing for herself;
she must use her benevolent powers for the purpose
of seeing that even between these belligerents,
enemies and friends alike, justice is DONE that the
bases of peace shall be founded upon fair adjust
ment Of all of the complex questions involved that
no cancerous shall be left to tester and dis
turb the peace of the world in the future; that all
may have the assurance that because the treaty is
based upon justice the peace may for centuries
survive with pregnant blessings to mankindr'

THE sKULKERs.

America many young men are fleeing to escape their
duty as American citizens. Some Of them 60 be
cause their fathers or mothers in their great love-
bet them to do so. Others 60 because they lack
nahliness; because congenitally they are cravens.
The persons who are fleeing are of well-to-do or
wealthy families. The government has pretty
problem in the question as to the handling Of these
deeerters. Sc
Are they to be permitted to dodge? Are they to
remain in a foreign land until the war ends and
lhe1 return and enjoy the rights Of American citi

The would.be sknlker who has not money enough
to seek asylum elsewhere has no escape he must
REGISTER and serve If he is called, or 60 to Jail
In fairness to those who do not run away why
not put q brand on the rich renegades?

than that of desertion. The men who are fleeing

doing its duty to the patriotic and the brave who
are ready to make any sacrifice for the nation If q

STAR.BULLETIN
Thanked FOR AID
IN HILO SUCCESS

How the Star Bulletin helped make
the Hilo Fourth of July excursion a
success is told in an appreciative let
ter from L. w. de Vis-Norton, Hawaii
publicity commissioner. He wrote the
following Just before going to the
Crescent City for the Fourth Of July
doings:
Il cannot leave by the boat for Hilo
today without trying to express my
deep appreciation Of the manner in
which the Star Bulletin has helped In
making this years Fourth Of July ex-
cursion to Hilo a real hummer.
The steamer last Saturday went
out booked absolutely full, and this
afternoons boat is loaded to the
standing room only limit. think
that nearly 500 people will be going
over to the Crescent City for the fes-
tivities, and the bookings are so far
in excess Of those of last year that
comparison is hardly even worth
while.
Most especially am / indebted to
the efforts of Owen Merrick Of your
staff, to whose personal exertions and
interest much of the success Of this
years excursion is due. He certainly
knows how to stir up enthusiasm in
the sporting element, and l do not
know what l should have done with
out him.
st says much for the popularity of
your paper that such splendid results
should attend its publication Of news,
and am keenly appreciative Of the
kindness it has always exhibited
towards my little efforts for Hilo, the
best little city Of them all"

That is, the name Of Robert Hoapili

right, and because, not enough. R.
HoapiH Baker cannot write q single
band music of his own knowledge OF

mended this name, r. Hoapih Baker,
as band leader, with all these tncom-
petencies? ...r -. ~

lani Peter has reached over to foreign

cause he knows how, and Is ready to
compose music; together with GER
tain other qualifications Is able to
lead this great work. =
II It is possible for Your Honor,
Mayor ]. ]. Fern, to invite one Of the
band leaders of Saint Louis College
as a person to question r. Hoapih
Bakers ableness to compose music
and other qualifications for this work,
so only shall you know the fitness and
unfitness of the name OF r. Hoapili
Baker as q leader for the band Of the
city and county Of Honolulu. = -
You must remember, Your Honor.
that this Is not personal spite, but
to warn you from your being talked Of
for the man you have chosen as lead
er for the band, or at the time when q
lady Of q gentleman shall come to
have hers or his music arranged for
the band to play. -. III
What? Is it sound policy for you,
Mayor ]. ]. Fern, for r. Hoapili Ba-
ker to depend on Captain H. Berger
to arrange his music and other music
that will be given to him for arrange

organization If this is the way It viii
be led? Het win be only q baton
beater and Captain H. Berger shall
