It is not customary to speak thus Of
a major in the British army, but when
YOU stop TO consider that the major
is only % years old and about 5 feet
tall
And has had 40 battles IN the air
And has shot down az Hun air

And has battled single-handed with
four enemy airplanes and wrecked
three Of them
And has been wounded only once
And has been presented TO the king
Of England who pinned Victoria
Cross on him

with the distinguished service order
And also wears a military cross

Well, the major is some kid
He is at Dayton now teaching aerial
gunnery to the flying cadets at Wright

his aerial gunnery is one from the

a price on his head
This boy major who has accounted

Looks like any nice boy. He is very
blond and wears a little moustache

say he was a new inferno at a hos

junior Class at college
Major Bishop It seems, likes TO have
things come his way so TO speak.
What's the use Of going hunting
for Huns when you can get them TO

So, having heard that the Germans
had a price on his head he painted his
airplane red. white and blue so that
/ all Germans might know him when
they saw him.
They would come at him In flocks,
which was what Bishop wanted them
to do.
The more Huns that come up, the
more Huns 90 down. Is his motto.
But once they chased him 100 miles
into Germany and that might have
been his finish. II night hadn't come
on so that he was able 10 fly back TO

U.S. Stands For Liberal Treatment Of German Sailors

from Berlin are correct that these Americans were
held as hostages-to see if the United States were
seizing German refugee ships and crews. IT was a
tralnsIarenty fimsy excuse. for the United States
has lived up TO it's treaty obligations and. shown
in the instructions to the navy and departments
i'm 1898 has in practise carried its uttered prin-
ciPles. 49,
There is plenty Of substantiatel recent history to
prove this In 1898 the United States took the
initiative i'm releasing and sending home crews Of
captured Spanish merchant vessels. Even while
temporarily detained. the officers and crews were
treated with liberality in astounding contrast to
the hardships imposed on the Americans of the Var
rowdae. The Spanish were allowed to send and re-
ceve from their families in Spain open cOmmunca-
tons, and TO communicate freely with others
Japan's treatment of prisoners in the Russo.Japa-
nese war and since the fall of Tsingtau has been lib
ei;il. The Japanese minister in Washington stated
officially in 1904 that his government had released
all passengers board of Russian merchant vessels
captured by Japanese cruisers, and the officers
and members of the crew, except those whose pres.
ence was deemed necessary in the trial before the
admiralty court 80 S9s~.
After the fall of Tsingtau,s non-combataut Ger
mans were received almost with cOrdialitr in Japan,
and there was even criticism that the enemies of
Japan were being honored as heroes.
In its handling of the German ship situation in
Honolulu, the state department is carrying this
liberality of treatment to lengths which already
have aroused keen criticism, in view of the deliber
ate imperilling of the port caused by the burning
of the Geier and the fires which helped wreck the
machinery of other ships RI
The latest exhibition of this ultra liberaity is
the queer order news of which was published by this
paper Yesterday, which forbids American officials
from boarding these ships except under strict regu
lation but allows free access to the vessels by
private citizens. lin actual practise, this order
plainly gives opportunity for the ships crews to
prepare for further wrecking measures.
3 The state department is evidently carrying out
thoroughly the presidents idea of leaving no posi-
BILE loophole for Germany to claim that one German
right has been transgressed. Meanwhile Germany
is trampling our rights underfoot with reckless
and insolent brutality which is unexamped in mod
ern International relations: 49,. 49,"

American treatment OF crews of merchant vessels
taken IN the course Of naval has been distngu.
ished BY its iberaity and certainly the attitude of
Washington toward the crews Of German ships here

to the utmost -- -. ."-
As shown Yesterday in these columns by quota,

More than hundred years ago Secretary OF State
Madison enunciated the theoryhat foreigners found

be treated as a prisoner of war, and can have no
right To the protection of the diplomatic and com
nlercial agents of his nation Secretary Madison
held that such a decree contravcned the law of ma

In 1893. the navy departments instructions to
blocka1ing ves il and cruisers was in paTf 'sThe
crews Of blockade runners are not enemies and
should be treated not prisoners of war; but with
every consideration. xAnyFof the officers or crew.
however, whose testimony before the prize court
may be desired, should be detained as Witnesses
Ii is also interesting TO observe here that in 1870
Count ilsismarck denied that sailors on captured
merchant vessels could be made prisoners of war,
and threatened and actually executed reprisals on
France for acting on that principle.
II would seem that the German diplomats of to-
day do not agree with the famous Bismarck, else
they choose eeoly to disregard has precedent in deal
ing with their own prisoners, For it was only a
few weeks ago that the captured Yarrowdale was
taken into Swinemunde and 50 American sailors
held ~ prisoners of war in German camps. They
we're held at least until the United States made two
vigorous pretestsy showing Germany not only inter
national law, bur Germany's own stand in 1870.
Then Berlin yielded and the Americans were re.
leased Meanwhile they had been SO closely con.
fined that communication with the American em..

COMMITTED is
IN FAVOR OF
TRAINING ALL

Speaker Holstein'S resolution for
universal training received the back
ing of the senate military committee
this morning when that body voted to
report in favor of il. Senator NJ. e.
Pacheco alone. failed to concur.
Pacheco argued before the commit
tee, declaring that his distaste for
forced training is not through any
lack of patriotism, but that he objects
to the compulsory features OF the ma
tiOnal bill Such system. he said,
had built up the great armies of Eli
rope and was responsible for the pres
ent war. .. ....
Chairman Coney, one Of the leaders
in the fight for military training
throughout the territory last session,
believed that the plan is proper, and
that it Is OF especial advantage to Ha-
waiian youths not only on the military
side, but also for development Of char
ucter. Many a slack Hawaiian youth
would be Strengthened up by 1t, he
said ..
1he chairman referred to the hos
fight in the Legislature last session
when the military bill lost Had Ha-
waIi put through that bill two years
ago, she would have had the honor
today of taking the first stand for d
system now before the entire country.
The committee also voted to report
in favor of Holsteins bill which would
reimburse territorial officials and en-
ployes called to the colors for national
guard work Because THE bill deals
largely with territorial funds, how
ever, 1t was decided to recommend
that it be rereferred tonthe. ways and
means committee. AZ
: Judge Ashford's suggestion of hold
ing memorial servicesS for Hawaiian
sailors killed in the, Aztec sinking met
the. approval of the committee, though
it was thought best to defer action a
few days until further details can be
ascertalned and the names of the sail
ors verified. . -......,,

posing a new office to be known as

tee today expressed the belief that
the creation of a new office for this
work is not good business.

FISH PEDDLERS
ARE SUPPORTED
BY HAWAIIANS

Sometimes, when w. c. Achi only
has Is cents in his pocket, he leaves
ii at home for members of his family
to buy fish. If there was no fish
peddler to come to the door, some
member of the family would have to
ride into town, spending 10 cents for
car fare and leaving only Is cents
with which to purchase fish.
With this simple illustration Sena>
tor Achi, at a public hearing last night,
explained hardship that would be
worked on many persons If a bill now
before the house, preventing the ped
ding of fish in Honolulu, is passed
and finally becomes law. D..
IF you pass this bill" asserted the
senator, you are going to create a
fish monopoly. You are going to be
instrumental in increasing the price
of fish because, if the peddlers are
eliminated, the markets can charge
the poor people any price they choose.
This bill may have been Introduced
on the ground that peddlers sell stale
or decayed fish and that the people
purchase them. That may be true, in
some instances, but just the other day
bought a piece of fish at the public
market and, after had cooked 1t,
found it was so rotten could not
eat it. -. -. -
And the fish that bought had laid
there in the market under the very
eyes of the fish inspector" =.
1t was pointed out that hundreds Of
men are earning a living by the ped
ding OF fish Another point against
the bill was the penalties provided
for violations of its provisions are
deemed altogether too high.

Why wasn't some provision made in

This Is question which members
of the senate who visited the institu-
tion last Sunday are asking today, and
it is likely that one of the first argu-
ments to be heard in the committee of
the whole which meets to consider the

stantial increase in the allotment for
