osTEoPATHY AND WAR

Honolulu, April 49, 1911
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin. ~
Sir: Referring to the letter pub
lished In Saturdays issue of the Adj

chose to adopt the pseudonym "A.

the Advertiser of even date: .

His real name is A. Fool.
A. Fool alias A.. Layman, wrote as

ONLY fire on submarines when the latter about
to attack them. an act of war would really have
been committed before the merchantmen had Occa-
sion TO use their guns.
What ,couId happen il the president coHroyed
merchantmen 10 the trdr :0He?
This would be a recognition that our merchant
ships needed convoy when, as matter of right. our
government claims that these ships go where
they please within the German zone. Besides
this if Germany really intends TO make good her
threat, she would not hesitate to attack the war
ships as well as their convoy. The only advantage
of this course would be to make Germanys purpose
unmstakabe and her acts irrerocabe.
Why does not the president tell americans to keep
array from the Iodr Gomez g..
The highways of the sets are governed by the
same traffic laws for Americans as for Germans.
Our government need not tell Americans those laws
are being violated: the whole world knows that. But
for our government to say that Americans should
not the highways of the because the traffic
laws being violated would be TO acknowledge the
right of the Germans to close those highways. And
that our government could never hOnOrably do.
Americans who deliberately go into the zone are
taking chances and are reckless in asserting their
rights, but they are Americans the less and,
as such, possess those rights

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin. ~.
Dear Sir: No keeper of poultry can
reasonably expect his neighbors to
furnish pasturage for his birds in the
form Of vegetable and flower gardens,
especially at this time, when all green
vegetables are extremely high. People
who are prevented from raising vege.
table or flower garden by the neigh
bors chickens can very easily get re-
lief by notifying the owners that
their chickens will be killed unless
they are kept at home. OF course this
should not be done unless a request
by the gardener to the owner fails to
bring results. t-..1<S.E :
: II it is necessary to Kill one or two,
and this will probably be enough ito
convince the owner that the gardener
means business, the birds should be
thrown into the owners yard. The
police court has cleared lat least one
gardener who found it, pecessary to
kill one of his neighbor's chickens in
order to save his vegetables and flow
ers. 49,, 81
4 The gardener who VIII III not not do this
much to protect his own property and
Is tin1id about hurting his neighbors
feelings in asking him, to skeep his
poultry at home should not complain.
Very truly YOURS, -.

INCORRECT U. s. FLAGS

The manufactured flags, made by
firms in that business, appear to be
about the only ones correctly de-
signed. 49,:
The writer would not be afraid TO
wager something that from 100 Ameri-
cans, picked at random, not 10 can
make correct drawing of the Ameri-

were displayed, on Saturday, two hts

that MENAcINe SUBMARINE

Editor Honolulu Star.Bulletin.
Sir Our worst fears concerning the
German submarines were confirmed
by Capt W. G.lmer in Friday morn
ings paper. -......
At first one wonders how in the
name Of Hackfeld they got TO the Pa.
cific,, but when one realizes the enorm-
Gus cruising radius of German su0-
mersible il becomes quite feasible.
The sinister designs Of the German
imperial staff are Eow completely laid
bare. H.
Having successfully starved England
into submission, they intend to use
their surplus U-boats in the Pacific
and make Washington come to terms
by a back-door attack. II is undoubt-
edly their aim to paralyze the United
States by completely destroying the
tremendous volume of shipping at
present plying between Yokohama,
Hawaii and San Francisco.
That the worst is feared may be in
dictated by the fact that marine insur-
ance rates have taken an un7re-
cedented jump of per cent and by
the number of people who are fran
tically boarding groceries and sup
Plies.
Meanwhile, let US take consolation
from the reflection that the pro-Ger-
mans in our midst will starve with
us, and should their innocent plight
become known in the Fatherland it
might touch the hart of the kaiser
with pity and induce him to modify or
abandon his unworthy aims.
Yours truly,

"Uncle John" Burnett. chairman Of the house
immigration committee, displays true congressional
caution in commenting on the proposal coming from
misguided people in Hawaii to import Il mass OF
Chinese coolie labor here Mr.. Burnett says that
lie can't really say what his eOnHpttee will do but
that il is important to know how the legislature and
the people of Hawaii feel about it. And this is the
Favorable comment" which it is alleged the pro-
posa to dump these Chinese in Hawaii has received
from Congress! The report of the house agriculture
committee yesterday is mildly in favor of the
scheme, and there is a possibility the concurrent
resolution will pass this legislature but it ought
not to pass. Congress hasn't the slightest idea of
allowing $4,000 or 10000 Chinese to here. In
Vulnerable troublesome questions involved, not
the least of which is that concerning Japans atti-
tude. The rice industry in Hawaii is failing, it is
true, but It ought to be revived by the modern
American business methods which have done won.
ders in building up great rice industries in Texas.
To perpetuate the laborious and archaic methods of
the oldtime Chinese planter is economically un-
sound and it is even more economically unsound to
add seriously to Hawaii's burden of assimilating
thousands of Oriental coolies and their children

We believe that Mr.. Wilson and his advisers fully
appreciate the wisdom of wagng a real war. They
know that war in which we can most quickly make
Germany feel the full weight of our would be at
once the most humane and the least expensive war

limitation of our naval operations to the mere pa

tions are settled nothing but trading market is probable in leaders. This market is so narrow that it does not pay to sell stocks when they are weak any more than it does to buy them when they are strong.
 Standard rails are reflecting a sig nificant demand for investment and speculation because of the signs of the times that indicate a turn for the bet ter in the entire situation of the car- riers. Union Pacific is reported to be exceptionally we'll bought for the req son that it has a large surplus that is expected to be distributed in extra dividends. The large margin of safety over dividend requirements, the high yield on the investment and the stabil- ity of the property are referred to as an underlying issue of the present buying.

MARKET NEWS By R. Allyn Lewis

We have a strong market for three or four days. but a weak market is in order. A statement that the British government has communicated mer- chant vessels which would take 80 per cent of tonnage of the International Marine brought a selling movement in that stock. The rest of the market is uLsettled due to the fear of taxation pending the passage of the enormous government loan. It seems idle to ex- pect any big market at this time until the new conditions. We are going to have fl6tation larger than anything that has been attempted. When the markets gets oversold again we will have a good rally and bull talk
 Questions of taxation troubled the market today and the Steel meeting was without influence.
 There are three questions to be set tied before the market may do any thing. Whether the government loan money will remain iR the banks or be kept in the federal reserve banks until such time as used, what the tax on ex- tra profits will be and whether the commerce commission will deal justly with the railroads. Until these ques-
