to Cocoanut Island yesterday to WOO
the mermaids in the briny deep. The
visitors without exception dove into
the water as if they were boys again,
on a visit TO the ''Old swimming hole y
away back in the East. They seemed
to enjoy the diving boards and the
"shoot the chutes as much as natives
to the manner born. Many of the gen
costumes were stunning. .r ~.
Duke Kahanamoku, the champion
swimmer, was present, and swan and
dove and thrashed around as il he
was enjoying himself immensely. A
motor boat was tearing around the bay
a short distance away, pulling surf
boards, on which expert swimmers
rode through the waves at breakneck
speed. ~. ..'..s'.' =
Some of the Hawaiian boys aboard
recognized the Duke, and came chng.
ging into the little bay and called to
him. He swan out with sweeping
overstroke in a jiffy, and climbed
aboard of a surf board, the motor com.
menced to chug, and the boards rushed
through the water at high speed. or
course, on the. turns the boys were up.
set occasionally, but the Duke didn y
seem to worry, whether he was under
the water, or on top of it. H.

The visitors were charmed with the
beauty Of Cocoanut Island, as all visi.

everything that was Hiloesque, includ

develop into farm, and possibly in
the days to come his place may becom,

BILL MAKING CHILDREN
WORK SLAVES? PASSES

New York State is going the limit.
The state legislature has passed a
bill which permits the employment of
children on the farms of the state
during the war The Senate passed
the bill last week.
"If Senator Brown is so solicitous
about feeding the allies" said So
cialist Assemblyman Shiplacoff, in
the course Of the fight, in which he
was. the principal, "then why dosen't
he go out on farm, both to reduce
his weight and help the nation, in
stead of taking the little children
from the schools and sending them
out to be exploited. If he were
here, | would also ask him if he has
taken to the farms already all of the
loafers, both men and women, on
Riverside drive and Fifth avenue,
whose only daily tasks is to take
their poodles for walks.
Shiplacoff asserted that until
Brown went and until idlers were
conscripted, he would oppose any at
tempt, "to coin the life-blood Of chill
dren into profits"
No Age Limit
"And who is going to reap the
profits?" asked Shiplacoff. "Not
state, but private employers, who will
work them to the limit of energy"
In addition to that, he pointed out,
there is no age limit, which means
mere tots can be made to go on
farms.
Answers to questions sent to
grange officers throughout the coun-
try by the National Child Labor com
mittee indicate that farmers do not
want or need city or town children.
Of the replies received to date,
which cover Is states, 62 per cent
say unqualifiedly. "No" to the ques-
ton, care city school children want
ed to work in your district?"

SOCIALISTS WILL NOT
TAKE ORDERS FROM
KAISER LANSING

WASIlINGTON.-Passports will be
refused Americans attempting to at
tend the International Socialist con
ference at Stockholm, the state de
partment announced last week
"The United States will issue no
passports to persons intending to
take part in the conference" said
Secretary Lansing, "and our repre-
titled"
Commenting on the action of the
government in refusing passports to
delegates to the Stockholm Socialist
conference, Victor L. Berger said:
eff this orGer Of the state depart
ment is not reconsidered this will be
the only country in the world whose
COVE n-nent will not grant any pass
ports to delegates for the purpose Of
attending the International Socialist
conference in Stockholm
England, Germany, France, Italy,
and even Spain and Roumania will
have delegates. Russia will be there
in full force, but America will not be
represented because our government
seems to be afraid that the three
American del 'ltes going to Stock
holm may brin abou peace.
"No separate peace propaganda
with Russia is contemplated The in
ternational Socialst ovement, how
ever, will not take orders from Mr..
Lansing any more than t did from
Gar Nicholas.
"The Socialists will stand on their
rights and try to get their passports,
to which they are entitled as Ameri-
can citizens going to Stockholm on
a legitimate mission.

FINISH OF WAR
OR REVOLUTION

Continued From Page One)
ment in England and France, rs well
as in Germany, Austria and Italy
to say nothing of neutral countries.
AT this moment, revolution is far
more imminent in England than most
Americans realize-if they realize
anything that is true of English CON
ditions.
1--WE are well within bounds in say
that the huge strikes of munition
workers, weavers, engineer, trans
portation employees and other labor
ers, to the number of over quarter
of a million, now in progress in Eng
land could be and may be converted
into a proletarian revolution over
night by laundering government or
corporation action. The situation is
indeed serious today. Tomorrow it
may be menacing.
Censorship Kills Facts
THE censorship does not allow you
people to know what is going on in
France, either There the radical So
cialists, who advocate joining the
Russian Socialists in serving upon all
governments an ultimatum demand
ing peace, with the alternative of
revolution, have obtained practical
control of the powerful French So
cialst party. They are resolved to
send delegates to the Stockholm con-
ference to express these views.
The attitude of the French inter-
nationalists is twofold They hold
that France has sacrificed too much
and England too little, and are weary
of the alliance; and they hold that if
a peace without annexations or in
IDENTITIES were negotiated quickly the
proletarians of each nation would be
in a position to establish social de-
mocracy for themselves, unhindered
by war waged from without.
These are exactly the sentiments
of the Socialists of Germany, Aus
tria, Italy and Spain.
1--WE hear here at home, talk Of
war being carried on for another
year, for two years more, for three
years more.
Eve do not believe it.
eve do not believe that war can
be carried on by any government on
earth through another year.
IF there were not famine to reck-
on with, the universal WEAKNESS of
slaughter in Europe would end war
either by persuasion or by armed
revolt.
Eve believe that unless the Euro
pean governments soon negotiate
peace, Europe's suffering peoples will
before long rise enmasse and over
throw their governments in one com
mon outburst of revolution.
