wv Z fail to appreciate the arguments raised in
W the defense of sake. the reasons given
why it should not be as vigorously prohibited as
to manufacture and import Scotch whiskey or
French brandy. No attempt whatever is made by
those who desire to continue to profit from it to
show that its consumption does not mean waste
of food products that its alcoholic contents are
such as to make its innocuous. The whole re-
lance Of the sake importers and manufacturers is
upon the technical point that it is brewed and not
distilled and that consequently it is beer and not
20 be classed as spirituous.
That the grain from which sake is manufactured
is all imported and consequently does not decrease
the food supply of the Territory is one OF the deli
cous bits Of argument used az.
Rice for sake however, takes up cargo space
that could be used for rice for eating; rice for
sake goes into the watts even when rice for eating
is going up in price because of scarcity; the de-
mand for cargo space for rice for sake helps in
crease the excess of demand over supply and
boosts the general freight rate on food imports
while the effect OF prohibiting spirits and permit
ting the unlimited importation and sale of sake
means the inevitable increase in the demand for
the latter because OF its high alcoholic contents,
anu tiIoWs 70 Japanese manufacturers business
refused to our own.
While the food problem is the main consdera-
ton in the prohibition features of the Food Con-
servation Act, there is, nevertheless, prohibition
consideration as well and certainly it is illogical
to bar one strong drink because it is made from
wheat or barley and permit another, equally
strong, because it happens to be made from rice. :
Rice is more OF food in Hawaii than any other
grain more people depend upon it as their staff
of life than upon any other cereal, and when the
food pinch comes, as come it will, it is essen
tial to have rice supply as a -four supply. q 4
The Japanese sake manufacturers and import
ers have appealed to Washington against Hooyer's
suggested tabU upon their particular brand of
booze 1t is up to the consistent advocates of food
conservation to make their voices heard at&Wash-
ington in approval Of IIoover's stand

Useful Disagreement

IT is quite all right for Hilo to have its little
joke with Honolulu over the fact that the fed
eral building OF the Second City is an actually
while ours has only become the subject of the
architects pencil, but it is evidence of slight
comprehension of the facts or slight regard for
very modern history when Honolulans state that
the delay in the construction work here has been
due to obstructionist tactics or selfish failure to
agree ..,.
Is Everyone who knows anything about the sub
Ject and is willing to admit the truth appreciates
the fact that the delay here is due to an initial
mistake in locating the building mistake that
took years Of constant work on the part of The
advertiser, three Governors, the Outdoor Circle
and other disnterested persons to correct. Every
one today acknowledges the initial mistake and
appreciates the hard work done to remedy it and
everyone who amounts to anything is sincerely
glad that those who recognized the mistake that
had been made kept on persstently until it was
corrected For hundred years to come, this city
will benefit from the campaign that was made,
launched by Governor Carter and carried on until
two years ago.
.Claptrap statements about the value OF agree
ing with whatever may be done in the first enthus-
iasm, never combating error, never dsagreeing
even in the cause of what is right and proper may
seem TO some to have sound like sense, but only
to those who happen themselves to be merely
sounding boards for nonsense.

DIVER DLOWNUP
BY SANUKI MARU.
Captain Of Nippon Yusen Kaisha
Vessel Describes Exciting En-
counter With Submarine

SAN FRANCISCO, September r.
uonqueror Of a German boat in
fight off the English coast, the Nip
pom Yusen K@sha steamshIp lsanuki
Maru arrived here yesterday under com.
mand Of Captain X. Miyazawa, who
told Of the triumph of the ships six.
FOUNDER. over the torpedo of the under
sea boat, and of the attempt the next
day of another submarine TO .get''
the Sanuki.
II was the seamanship Of Captain
Miyazawa and the fast shooting of the
chief gunner, who Is member of the
Imperial japanese Navy, that saved the
freighter from destruction In the first
attack and enabled her to take pre-
eious cargo of foodstuffs into England
from Toxic. The vessel was saved on
the second encounter by a. British des.
troyer, which came up before the Sa-
nuki's after gun could be trained, and
compelled the submarine to dive.
The Sanuki Maru left Japan in
March on her way TO England byway
Of the Cape Of Good Hope. She sight
ed squadron of Japanese war vessels
in the South Atlantic,t and after that
her voyage was uneventful until the af-
ternoon of June rs, when sixteen miles
of start point, on the coast of Corn
wall. ..
"The sea was smooth, like glass;
said Captain Miyazawa. owe did not
observe the submarine until she had
slowed down to fire her torpedo. 1t
was then that we saw the torpedo
coming toward us, although its wake
could not be seen very plainly. The
helm was put hard aport and the vessel
turned slowly, il seemed too slowly,
and / thought surely we had been hit.
"The torpedo passed on our star
board quarter, and just about the time
/ expected to hear the explosion of
the proieetile against our side our six.
pound gun began to go. / think it was
the sixth shot that hit the submarine,
but l afterward learned that ten shots
had been fred by the gunner and his
two men. .7
There was a muffled explosion and
white smoke or steam, together with
much wreckage, shot into the air. Then
the surface of the ocean was covered
with oil. There is no question but that
the boat was destroyed

BOARD
ExONERATES RODGERS
He Did Not Violate Provisions Of
Draft Act 80,

Philip NJ. Rodgers, treasurer of Lib
by, Mcneil, and Libby, was dismissed
by the territorial registration board
yesterday after examination. 1t was
proved conclusiveIy that he had vic.
lated no provision of the draft act in
changing his age after registration.
Rodgers was ignorant of his own cor.
rect age, and thought himself younger
than he was by three years. A letter
from his sister stating that he was over
the draft age led him to investigate the
matter. The result was an affidavit
from his father, Charles f. Rodgers,
stating that he was thirty,two years Of
age aud not twenty eight, as he had
thought. The affidavit was presented
before the registration board yesterday.
Rodgers has been a subscriber to the
Liberty Loan bonds and his wife is
jealous Red Cross worker. III

But Does Not Get Through

Advices from the Washington rep
resentative of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association, presumably rel.
alive to the matter Of licenses under
the food control arrangements, reach.
ed Honolulu early yesterday afternoon
but did not get beyond the telegraph
office. In some way, the Sugar Plant
ers' Association Is not sure lust what.
censorship requirements were not COM
piled with, and word was sent from
here to Washington TO straiphten the
matter out there. II was evidently too
late to do so yesterday for mp to four
o clock In the afternoon the message
had not been delivered.
II is not expected here that there
will be any serious trouble for the
planters Of the islands because of the
license requirements. The representative
at Washington Of the association Is nm
doubtedly looking out for its inter
ests. IL was 20 him that the message
relative to licensing, request for in.
formation and for such blanks as may
be necessary, was sent on Tuesday. II
is to look after just such matters that
he is retained
II was stated yesterday afternoon
that the chamber Of commerce is ready
to aid in any way possible In the mat
ter Of securing the requisite licenses
and that the matter would have been up
at meeting yesterday afternoon had
II not been that the cable had already
been sent to Washington by the Plant
ers' Association and the reply that
could not be obtained. h'a'"a

EXPEND|TURESFOR
BUILDINGS GOOD
Permits For Week Run Up To
Handsome Total and Number
rC. About Recent Average

n Cost Of buildings provided for in the
building permits issued since Wednes-
day of last week took a great leap
over recent averages. This is readily
accounted for since the permits include
the one for the erection of the new
Campbell Estate Building at Fort and
Hotel Streets and large addition to
the Love Biscuit and Bread Company
Building that is Just completed. The
addition, for which the permit was is
sued, will cost $l5,567. These two, to-
gether amount to more than $l4S,000
which makes the costs involved in the
other seventeen average less than
$1,000 each. This is accounted for by
the fact that the majority of the others
were for additions, repairs or small
buildings. d.
OF the larger of such transactions
there is a residence for J. ROsenstein,
to. be built by z. Sugihara, on Pensa-
cola Street at cost of $685. q jelly
factory for the Service Supply Com
Pany on Rose Street, cost $4,000 and
Chung Chan, builder; and residence
for Mrs. Maude l.. Moore on Bingham
Street, cost $2776 and H. Knaek &
Company, builder and architect.
In number the building permits run
along with recent past weeks, nineteen
in all, but there were only five instead
of the usual six days for business, ow-
ing TO the Intervention of Regatta
Day.
Indications now are that the number
of permits issued during September
will show some increase, over August
and that the total will be materially
higher. ..,. ~

OPPONENT
WITH AXE, IS CHARGE

A Porto Rican at Hakalau has been
arrested for attempted murder, the
charge being that he attacked fellow
countryman with an axe, splitting the
man 3 right shoulder deeply enough to
make the lungs visible. He claims that
the other man called him names, and
that he struck at him over his shoulder
without any intention of hitting him.
The injured man was rushed to the
hospital and placed under the doctor s
care. He is expected to recover and
appear as a witness 10 the case. Porto
Ricans of the community seem of the
opinion that the affair was deliberate

1t seems rather certainty that the wholesale
liquor dealers Of Honolulu will enter vigorous
protest against the proposal of the liquor license
commissioners to further regulate the trade by
permitting sales in quantities by requsition only
When this protest is filed, it will be confession
by the liquor trade that it does not want the blind
pig business stamped out and that it prefers the
profits from the illegal soldier trade to foregoing
these gains for the sake of patriotism. The pro-
posal of the board will down the sale of ntox-
cants, but it will not materially affect the legi-
mate business of the dealers. Fighting this pro-
posal can mean nothing else then, than an effort
TO protect egitimate business, disloyal business,
business done in direct opposition to the desires
Of the administration to have an army of sober.
