AN HONOR TO THE DAY AND TO THE
~ JAPANESE

Japanese of Honolulu honored George Washing
ton last night IN n fneIy-conceiyed and finely
executed lantern parade OF beauty and magnitude
fairly astonishing the thousands Of Carnival
visitors
Honolulu townsfoks knew what the Japanese
would do from previous Carnival experiences. Last
night the Npponese community outdd itself in IFS
achievements OF gorgeous floats and picturesque
costumes.
Easily the most striking feature OF this parade
was iis patriotic American character. Everywhere
the stafs and Stripes and George Washington we're
honoret. Everywhere the red, white and blue float
ed suptcne. An American flag on the right led the
procession. with the sun-fag Of Japan the left.
Japanese flags and colors were subordinated to an
unprecedented extent.
Those jingoists who can read "yellow peril into
such an event as that of last night few and far
between.
BY far the greatest number of those in line last
night we're boys and girls Of the most impression.
able age They will never forget that on the night
Of George Washingtons birthday they honored the
Father of His Country on a scale that entirely
eclipses anything the Japanese Of Hawaii do in
honor to the Mkado In the rising generations OF
Japanese ancestry here is;the hope Of Alnericanpa

VIOLATING PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

Out Of proportion 10 the intrinsic value OF the
rDnwood trees Of Kapiolani Park is the public con-
troyersy over their destruction. But the indgna-
ton at the manner in which they are being put to
the axe is justified.
Ii may be that the trees have 10 come down. II
may be that they must be carriiced for safety of
traffic and the convenience OF the public 1t may
be that their loss will not greatly njure the Kapio
lan Park vistas. Butt may not be.
The public has right to expect that the city engi-
neers Office will exhaust every resource to the
trees Ii has also right to expect that before they
are cut. public sentiment, which wishes them pre-
served, will he fully consulted ri .s-- .
The summary manner in which these trees are
sentenced to execution is violation of public seni
ment, and let it be remembered that public senti.

The hearing of the Dawn Moore,

Plaintiff and defendant alike are anx
ious to finish taking evidence before
the Great Northern leaves. &c.,. =.
Mrs. Martha Townsend, James A.

put on the stand by the defendants
counsel In an effort, evidently, to at
tribute the authorship Of certain

Dawn Moore by comparison of hand
writings. ..- ...
During the trial, when the plain.
tiffs attorneys were strenuously OBJ
jecting to introduction of the Moore
girls note book which they said was
not proper evidence inasmuch as It
had been taken from her by the ship
detective without due process OF law,
Judge Vaughan voluntarily made the
statement that at this stage in the
trial he was willing to assert that the
Great Northern had absolutely no
right to search the girls baggage;
that it was gross violation OF her
rights in which the constitution OF the
United States protected her.

"PEAcE WITHOUT VICTORY"
(From Daily FINANCIAL Anlerica.J

(From Daily Financial Anlerica)
The doctrine Of peace without victory as enun
ciated by President Wilson is not without its
analogy in history and it is interesting to note that
vital but little-known form of this doctrine was
enunciated nearly half century ago by one Of the
major countries Of South America, where, by the
way despite the general belief that Latin America
is constantly rife with wars, greater constructive
progress towards peaceful and permanent relation
ships among nations has been made than elsewhere
in the world.
From 1865 to 1870 Argentina and Brazil we're
allied in war with Paraguay. Argentina then
cnunciated the doctrine that 'yictory has no
rights meaning that military victory over an
enemy country did not accord a privilege of econo.
mic spolation or of permanent seizure of territory.
1t meant that war was merely punitive and that
the punishment inflicted upon an enemy by defeat
was sufficient punishment in itself It meant that
The victor had no right TO dictate selfish and OPP.
pressve terms
il is not clear. of course that President Wilson's
proposed peace without victory means just this,
but it certainly includes it. His words were as
follows:
Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser a ]
victors terms imposed upoa The xaasyshed :.
the very principle OF which equality and common
participation IN a henefiL sss IS The equal q
peace sfOunQcQ,
Is TO last be equality OF rights the guaran
tees exchanged must neither recognize nor imply
difference between big nations and small between 81
those that powerful and those that weak
Right must be based on the strength, upon
the individual strength, Of the nations upon whose
concert peace viii depend.
Though there is doubt as to just what President
Wilson meant by the phrase-for, like most phrases
by. which doctrines and policies are labeled, ii is
ambiguous we think it is fair to interpret it as
=
meant by victory has no rights President VII
son could scarcely have invented to express the
hope that the war in Europe would be inconclusive
for II wond be an impertnence to both groups in
yolyd for the president of the United States to ex
press such hope; indeed, he utilized in another
part of his speech the phrase: "The present war
must first be ended and attached directly thereto
