There is only one conceivable reason for the lar
Dor boards action in allowing the menace of Ger
man refugee steamers in port to continue-that the
board has received advces from federal authorities
not to move the ships outside the harbor.
Chairman Forbes Of the board denies that the ter
rit0rial officials are acting under the advice OF
"higherups" who in turn are in communication
with Washington, but there is other logical ex-
panaton for the recent actions of the board which
frst ordered the ships to moye-4and then rescinded
the order, IL the half.admssiens which come from
executive sessions constitute the truth
Public sentiment here is absolutely against allow
ing these ships to remain at their piers What hap
pened ON a Sunday of vivid memory not long ago
what happened at Charleston in the sinking of the
Lebenfels; what happened at Boston in the disabling
Of the Kronprinzessin Cecie- all this is merely a
forecast Of what may happen should the United
states and Germany 60 to war. There is no need
10 20 into details. Every thinking American must
realize the danger TO Honolulu harbor, to wharves
and to adjacent shipping
Recent-events have shown that the administration
at Washington-though decisive enough in severing
diplomatic relations with Germany--is strangely
slow to make the decisive step of taking hold of Ger
man property in Q. :. jurisdiction. The develop
mens here i'm the release of the German crews indi
Gates that Wasngtons orders are to allow the Ger
mans every freedom. That has already gone to the
extent of endangerng American lives and property.
What is behind the administrations attitude is
something at which we can only guess. Aud guess
ing at inscrutable reasons is not comforting while
there continues in this port an absolute menace.
Bonding the ships does not meet the situation in
reassuring the public. So long as the ships remain
IN their slips with German crews, where they may
be sunk or blown UP, they remain peril to the pert
Possibly the explanation of it all is that Uncle
Sam is not ready for actual war and realizes that
seizure ofsCerman refugee ships now probably means
var. Possibly the are other problems unknown to
the public, giving the administration grave concern
like the German Mexican plot--hed for 80 DAYS by
Mr.. Wilson until it was made known to the Amer
lean people. There may be very good reasons why
Washington does not want the local authorities to
take the action withthis local menace which ordin
AIRY prudence and precanton counsels
Certainly the harbor board entirely of its own
initiative has not decided this latest policy We
rive the members credit for more realization of the
danger than that.

Clearing The Way For a Vote By
The People

Passage Of the tionreferendum bill by the
senate Yesterday clears the path for speedy and fav
0rable action by the house.
The referendum or plebiscitc clause satisfies the
advocates of party regularity who are concerned
over the Republican platform pledge not TO tampcr
with the present liquor law. Now the entire ques
ton is referred 10 vote of the people in july, a
changing public sentiment having made il plain
that some action with reference to prohibition was
expected of the legislature.
Ii is probably in the lower house that the booze
Interests hope 10 block the BILL if at ALL No parti
enlar trust need be taken in reports that the liquor
here are satisfied to allow the prohibition issue
10 go to vote of the people They would only be
satisfied with action at all. but they know per.
fectly well that there is no hope now of stemming
the tide of popular opinion and killing off the de-
mand for plebiscite. Hence they are outwardly
willing that the issue should go TO popular vote pre-
fering this TO federal enactment, or to the petition
llebiscite.
Whether the booze interests conduct a lobby in
the lower house TO block or amend the bill will be
watched with very special interest by the public.
We hope that if such lobby is organized the house
Itself will protest. Too many unsayory incidents

NO REPRISALS

The British press and public are en-.
gagged in q wordy discussion as Wheth-
err, the British should make reprisals
on German towns for the zeppelin &C.
tivities which have resulted in death
and manning in British towns. 1t is
one of the most delicate questions of
the war, and aAit is almost always the
case there2arestwo sides to the ques-
ton. al 43 "a -" e.
The only possible argument for ma
king reprisals, would be that such a
threat would stop German ruthless
ness. The Germans have gained abso-
lutely nothing by numbering innocent
non.combatants through hostile raids.
They have only inspired more bitter
opposition in England and even among
the neutral countries Of the world. Bru-
tally never gains anything. 1t is as
sure to be punished by disaster and
sorrow as the sun is to rise and set.
Then. again, reprisals would have no
effect in stopping German ruthless
ness. 1t would only make it worse.
We haven't the slightest doubt that
those who are responsible for the
ruthlessness of Germany will have to
suffer in some way to pay for their
brutality. No we'll minded person be-
lieves, however, that German oppon.
ents should take 1t out on Germany's
innocent women and children. Muir
dering women and children by drop
ping bombs on their heads is not war.
Neither does it gain any OF the adj
vantages for which war is waged.
g We do not know how England will
settle this question, but we are posi-
tive that the people of the United
States will not stand for reprisals.
Our soldiers are sent to fight with
men, not children, and we hope and
pray that they will oil preserve their
natural humane training and DISPOSE
ton. Even if we suffer murder Of our
women and children in our own coun-
try-we have already suffered MUIR
der of them on shipboard-we should
not make reprisal in. kind. The Uni
ted States should keep its hands clean
of the slightest stigma OF the barbar-
ism which it goes forth to fight. The
way to stop ruthlessness is to rush
the authors of ruthlessness. not their
women and children-Boone NewsRe-
