Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, March 9.-That the salary of
the district magistrate OF Hilo should
be at least $1,000 per annum was the
unanimous opinion of the Hilo Board
of Trade expressed some time ago.
At that meeting Representative Evan
da Silva was present and he was
taken to agree TO the proposition as
debated and decided at the gathering.
A, bill has been presented in the
house of representatives calling for a
salary of only $175Nper month for
Judge Wise and this is taken as a
direct slam at the board of trade The
stand is taken by Silva and others, 1t
is claimed, that other district magis-
trates are entitled to higher salaries
and that they would become discon-
tented should the Hilo Judge be given
5000 per month. No objection to speak
of would be made to the proposed
salary Of SITS per month
The directors of the board of trade
decided to instruct the secretary to
write to Representative Silva and in
form him that the board, some time
ago, at a meeting at which the repre-
sentative-elect was present, had
threshed out this matter and that 1t
is still hoped that the representative
will try and have the wishes Of the
board carried out, especially as 1t, is
the impression of everybody that Mr.

Habu has engaged an attorney and the

IL seems that Habu was driving

After about Is seconds the cop no

Then there was a yell from the cop
as he realized the situation and called
upon the driver to stop at once. The
driver was very drunk, declares the
cop, and the consequence was that the

road while the police patrol wagon

GERMANY STARVING AND
WARS END NEAR, BELIEVES
HEAD U. S. ARMY COLLEGE

WASHINGTON, D. c., March H.
Sir Sam Hughes, former minister or
militia for Canada, the man who or
ganized the Canadian training camps
and put the first Canadian army into
the field in France, is in New York,
on a secret mission. While the Cana
dian organizer declines to discuss his
presence in the country, he freely pre-
diets that the United States will be in
the war within a comparatively few
days.
Brig .-Gen. Kuhn, president of the
Army War College, in a statement is
sued yesterday, gave as his opinion
that while the nation is now preparing
for war industrially and is well on its
way towards mobilization of its re-
sources, 1t is not preparing as 1t
should be in a military way He be-
lieved, however, he said, that the ma
tion is now aroused to the danger into
which it has allowed itself to drift.
Germany Is Starving
That Germany is not in a position to
carry on the present war much longer
is the opinion of Gen. Kuhns, who
says that the Germans are practically
starving. with their surplus supplies
gone. and ready now to listen to al
most any terms of peace that will fall
short Of absolute acknowledgment of
defeat. a
Yesterday Secretary Lansing issued
categorical denial of the statement
made the day previous by the German
foreign secretary, Doctor Zimmerman,
who has stated that he was without
knowledge of American opinion and
not in a position to say whether the
United States did or did not desire
war
There has been no suspension of
communication between the United
States and Germany, as Doctor Zim-
norman claims, says Secretary Lans-
ing. Following the first few days
after the break In diplomatic rela-
tons, the delays of the censorship es-
tablished have been eliminated and
all German business has been expe-
dited.
Berlin Press Is Bitter f..
Press dispatches from Berlin re-
port that the German press is uniting
in severe criticisms of President Will
son. singing out for especial comment
the references made by the President
to the status of fAlsace Lorraine in
his talk with the Democratic caucus
committee.
The Vossische Zeitung says: Pres
ident Wilson has now abandoned the
last remnants of political reserve and
comes out in the open as what he has
always been at heart, proclaiming
himself the friend of England"
The Taglische Rundschau declares:
The aFming of merchant ships under
te authority of the American govern
ment means war. We desire at this
time to establish the fact that the
United States becomes the attacking
party the moment she sends guns to
sea to be used against German sub
marines - =.

At recent auction sale of the prop

that at least the former amount is to

unite in declaring that Governor Pink
ham certainly win be permitted TO
conclude his four-year term. Further

ness that IL the Democrats of Hawaii
do not compose their differences and
agree on some suitable and acceptable
successor the governor stands the best
possible chance Of being named for an
other four.year period.
Officials OF the interior department
which comes in closest contact with
the administration of affairs in Ha-
wall, insist that Governor Pinkham has
made a progressive and conscientious
executive. They believe he has adj
minlstered the law to the best of his
ability and done whatever could be
accomplished for the interests of the
territory. Up 70 this time they can
find no fault In him. They regard his
service as having been successful and
satisfactory They can find nothing
at all on which TO base a reasonable
charge OF neglect or inefficiency.
II Is true that many complaints have
been lodged against Governor Pink
ham, There have relfted chiefly to
matters connected, with the public
lands Of the territory. Although these
have been examined no serious atten-
ton has been given them. 1t is point
ed out that the situation was a diff
cult and trying one. They hold that
in all probability no other man would
have done better than the present gov
ernor. Many men might have done
much worse. The inclination pre-
dominates to bunch all matters togeth-
er, striking an average unusually ia
vorable TO Mr.. Pinkhafn.
Figuring ahead for the future no
candidate has been suggested as pos
sible successor 10 Mr. Pinkham. IL is
realized that the same powerful
friends who secured his former selec-
ton will be behind him when the term
expires. These will seek to have him
renamed They will have the adyan-
tage OF favorable record in urging
this point. Er.k
II will be remembered that Governor
