Our Turn COMING

TT is easy to see that the French are nearer the
stage of military and physical exhaustion thar
are the British. A drive towards Loan leaves them
in less resilient condition to begin further drives
than is the case with the British on their own front
The reason for this is perfectly plain, The French
sustained the brunt of the war for more than two
years At the time when the strength of the Bri-
Itish Empire was as yet unmobilized--when nine
men out of the ten who have gone beyond, or. il
now alive, were still at their productive work OF
their fresides when the resources of Englishmen
and coonials were still untapped- France had call
ed ont every available man and had put every son
Of the nations resources into the great struggle.
France stnted nothing, either in blood or trea-
sure. The long, hard strain OF the trenches was
borne by Frenchmen of every walk OF life and
social class-merchants and porters, professors and
school boys, lawyers priests laborers artists jour
nalists, all were at the front Women gave their
Jewels to the national treasury and no one made
any fuss about it but now nearly every family in
all France has paid its bitter toll.
OF course France is not exhausted France can
not be exhausted apparently. The steady pluck,
the wonderful nerve, the amazing resource of the
nation is well-nigh miraculous. 1t still fights on
and will strike on. 1t has more victories of the
Marine OF the Somme and Of the Aisne yet to win.
But it is undeniably true, nevertheless, that the
displayed earlier in the war has now devolved on
the British army, which came later into the fray.
1t is Britain now which has the reserves in men
and materials and money. 1t is consequently much
further away from exhaustion than is France.
Upon Britain devolves the duty of striking the
stunning blow" if it can do it--and it looks as
though it can. The war is costing Great Britain,
according to Bonar Laws recent statement in Par
lament almost $4O,oOO,OOO day-and the money
is paid on the nail 1t is costing great tribute Of
human life and Englishmen, Scotchmen, Irishmen,
Canadians and Australians are paying this tribute
willingly. Vimy Heights and Messines will be fol-
lowed up. '...'
France took her turn at bearing the brunt. Eng
land is taking her turn now.
i Do any of us delude ourself into supposing that
America turn to bear the brunt will not come too
1t took two years to bring out the resources of
Great Britain but they came out. 1t will not take
two years to apply the resources Of America. We
will have the benefit of the others experience and
organization. But Americas men and money will
he brought to the test! ''''.,' IT. "%. ~"
If it devolved upon France to halt the Germans
and upon England to stun them it will devolve
upon us to deliver the finishing blow. There is no
one else left to do the trick We shall have our
chance. We listening to the long roll now.
Our fighting and our paying are yet to come.

For Foreign, Interferers

w E are informed that the consul for Spain,
w who is in charge OF German interests in
Hawaii, desires the United States district attor-
ney's Office to prosecute The Advertiser for an
nouncing to the world that the word of honor
of German officer is worthless, the general de-
scription applying as equally to those officers of
the ex-German Geier as to all others. The efforts
of the consul for Spain are, doubtless very com
mendable, but we feel at liberty to express our
grave doubts Of their success.
The representative of His Spanish Majesty
doubtless is aware that this country is at with
Germany, and, if he has read the statements OF
our President, he should be aware of the causes
OF that war Knowing this we fail to see what
business it is of his when The Advertiser points
cut the complete lack of honor, decency and man
hood in these prisoners from the Geier, men who
deliberately broke their words of honor, who lied
maliciously and repeatedly, who accepted the hos
pitality OF the port and then abused it. and who
have by their own acts forfeited all regard from
decent men.
The President has informed the world officially
that the representatives of Germany at Washing
ton, who had been accepted as honest men, have
been guilty of almost everything except murder
with their own hands. The navy department has
told the world officially of the lying tricks per-
formed by the Officers and gentlemen" in COM
mand of the German warships along the Atlantic
Coast In Honolulu we do not have to be told Of
the perfdy of Grasshof and his officers. We it,
We understand that the consul for Spain is not
representing Germany because he wants to, but
because he has to- But even at that he should
remember that he cannot expect us to look upon
any of "the Potsdam gang" or any Of the proven
cads OF the German navy as anything but what
they 1t should not be necessary, let us add,
to have to point out to the consul for Spain that
this is free country, and that here we accuS-
toned to describe liar as liar, whatever his
uniform and however he may be entitled to the
iron cross.
When we start torturing our prisoners of war
it will be time for Senior Gil to get busy. In at
tempting to interfere with The Advertiser he is
only offcious.

No Cavalry Required

THERE is persistent rumor frequently men
i toned in the mainland newspapers and much
discussed in military circles here that the part that
the cavalry regiments Of the regular army and ma
tonal guard as such, will take in the present war
is very small one. Officially the war depart
ment has made no announcement in the matter
beyond the recent statement from the militia bu-
reau that most of the national guard regiments OF
cavalry will be converted into field artillery units
before going to France and the unofficial statement
OF high ranking army official in Washington to
the effect that "a our cavalry may be needed on
the Mexican border at any time" .:-
The Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune states that the war department will re-
place all regular infantry regiments on the border
by cavalry regiments they will be able to cover
much more ground than the infantry in performing
patrol duty. He says further that the role to be
played by American infantry in France is expected
to be an important one and that the war depart
ment is straning every to make the Amer
lean infantry regiments destined for duty in France
the very best in the world in equipment and train
ing. Such American cavalry regiments as are sent
abroad will go dismounted. T..
The plan to raise two cavalry divisions for the
National Army has been abandoned nor will there
be any divisional cavalry regiments attached to
the sixteen infantry divisions to be raised under
the first draft America is planning to strike her
blow with immense infantry commands we'll sup
ported by artillery and strong aerial force to
sweep the supremacy Of the air for all time from

AlNAHAU TRACT STREETS
ARE REPORTED FINISHED

Streets in the Ainahau tract are to
open today, it is expected. That is to
say they will be open to those seeking
permission to use them for all of these
streets are private ways. Ultimately,
when the streets in the vicinity are
paved, the streets in the Ainahau tract
may be turned over to the city and
county but not before such time.
While there will be restrictions on
the use of Ainahau streets these will
not be severe and will probably not go
beyond a fOrbidding of the use of the
streets at night and no restrictions are
likely to be placed on pedestrians.

amount to $l7,265 and in both totals

age. This is oceasioned, chiefly from
the fact that no permits for building
