To aid in Judgment, the gov

ment and report the reception Of

and low quarters.
Must BE Considered.
Authorities realize that, COM
ing from the pope, the offer car
ries weight, which German
"feelers' and made in Germany"
peace suggestions have lacked;
that the offer will stir pacifist
sentiment and cause the thinking
world to pause in reflection.
Admission indeed Is made by
high allied diplomats that the
pope's peace note must be re-
ccived with Difference and care
fully considered. IL Is sincere
and probably actuated by purely
Christian motives.
But the time has not come for
peace OH the basis suggested. And
meantime the strongest hope is
held here that the German lib
erals will force the Issue in Ger

brought about the war.

nothing else has done In recent

Evacuation First.
A review of the allied embassies'
opinion today revealed the fol-
lowing:
British diplomats say that Bel.
gium, France, Serbia and Ru-
mania must be actually evacuated
before peace discussion can start.
Germany must not be allowed
to enter the peace councils with
all her lost territory regained and

NOT TO
AFFECT ISLANDS,
Thinks HARDESTY

Z. J. Hardesty, local agent for the
Southern Pacific Railway and Wells
Fargo Express Co., interviewed In re-
gard to the temporary embargo placed
on import freight to San Francisco
for shipment to Honolulu and the Or
lent, said that he did not think the
embargo would affect the islands at
present to any great extent.
THE freight that is in San Fran
cisco will have a chance to get here,
he said, and then, when the conges-
ton is relieved, they will probably
raise the embargo. III.
Just what all the freight in San
Francisco is, nobody can guess; but l
have an idea that there is not much
food freight included. In that case
one would naturally suppose We might
face a shortage here but as all the i'm
porters of provisions do not ship d.
rect ] do not think food shortage
will take place. - r.
Most of the local importers OF pro-
visions here have their goods shipped
to San Francisco to an agent there
who then reships them to Honolulu,
thus evading the temporary embargo

RESERVE CORPS MAJOR Y u
WOULD DRAFT DOCTORS

Suggestion that American doctors
be drafted for army work is made
by Mai. Richard Derby, medical re
serve corps, who believes that some
such step is necessary at once.
"A fair proportion of the physicians
who have volunteered are men who
have been attracted to a new life
through failure to succeed in the old, .
he says in a recent medical magazine.
THE medical reserve corps today
contains too many men over 40 and
too few under 80. Many counties
throughout the country have been
stripped of their physicians whereas
from many others none have gone.
Do these facts show that the medical
profession is performing the best kind
of national service?' "
