of a talking machine and q bunch of

means q yearly consumption Of 1000,
900 barrels. This gives an inkling
Of the task the Council Of National
Defense faces.
The 100000 barrels needed by the,
United States and Great Britain does
not by any means comprise the whole
OF the oil problem, however. France
and Italy also must be supplied, be-
cause neither has a sufficient prod
uct Of her own And the need for
supplying them and the British navy
Is deemed absolutely imperative. No
modern warfare IL possible without
crude oil. gasoline and lubricating oil,
ships. aeroplanes and machinery Of all
kinds being dependent on them.
1t Is known that Germany, feeling
herself in control of the oil situation,
Is turning her attention to oil tankers
to the disregard Of food and munitions
vessels. Germany hurt the allies when
she took the Rumanian oil fields, and
added another severe blow when she
cut on the big Russian supply. No
attempt is made to disguise the fact
that the situation Is serious. One ex-
pert estimates that Germany calcu-
lates on ending the war VIGOROUSLY
within year and a half, simply by
hampering allied oil supplies to the
neglect of other commodities.
Mexico can solve the problem, gov
eminent experts declare, because her
export this year will reach about 3d.

head Of the Standard Oil Of New Jer-
sey and chairman Of Petroleum Ad-

Here are. excerpts from his letter:
"In these days Of the gravest prob

must bear and freighted with the I'M

effort to bring success to our arms
and to achieve those ideals of justice
and humanity which compelled our
entrance into the war.
I'VE wish our people to see and are
striving to help them to realize that
they owe answering loyalty to the
rulers whom they have elected to
office and that In doing so they are
not acting in a slavish manner. for
obedience is not an act of servility
We pay to man. but an act Of homage

The 1917 territorial legislature will
be called to order next Wednesday,
but the session will open ul>ificially
three days previous to that.
Republicans-who constitute about
four-fifths of the legislature-will
met in caucus on next Sunday
afternoon at o'clock at Republican
headquarters, Campbell building, and
will settle most of the questions OF
organization and operation for the en-
tire session.
Committee chairmanships will be
dealt around, if present intentions are
carried out, and the always interest
ing problem of distributing the
patronage" will be discussed and
probably settled.
Many changes will take place In the
committee chairmanships, both in the
house and senate. One OF the prin-
cipal positions, that of chairman Of
the finance committee of the senate,
is to be filled, since the former chair
man, C. A. Rice of Kauai, is out OF the

JARRETT TO BACK
BILL TO BUILD
DETENTION HOME
Measures for Benefit OF De-
pendent Children and Prison
Reform Are on Program

Prison reform and increased proyi.
sion for the care of Honolulu's delin-
quent and dependent children are pro-
jeets upon which Representative-elect
j. K Jarrett will base a number of
house of the coming legislature.
Jarrett will ask for an appropriation
for the acquisition of suitable tract
of land for the erection and mainten-
ance of a building for a detention
home for boys and girls.
L believe we could have a building
so arranged as to accommodate both
boys and girls" he says. 1T would
be place to detain them while their
cases are pending. When the cases
are disposed of they could be placed
in the proper institutions or put on
probation or rep1manded as the case
might be.
Conditions in Honolulu today war
rant such home. The present home
for boys is too small. There. is no
detention home for girls. The girls
are sent either to the reform school or
to one Of the several homes in the
city,"
Jarrett also will introduce a bill
for the establishment OF a prison
farm and workshops His plan is to
make the prison self-supporting as
nearly as possible, and that each
prisoner working on the farm receives
a certain fixed compensation for what
he produces.
Z F.
In the workshops he believes pris-
oners could be taught useful trades
and occupations such as auto repair
ing, carpentry and box making.
He win also favor in a bill the
establishment of an educational sys-
tenn in the prison whereby classes in
elementary education would be con-
Quoted by ministers and other local
persons interested in prison work.
Such classes might be held on two or
three evenings each week, he says.
