UNIVERSAL MILITARY SERVICE

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: The most important thing
about universal military service, to
which the preparedness phase of it is
secondary and of far less value to
the people as whele.E is its leVeling
propensities, No man is any better
than the leaven Of his achievement,
and there must be common standard
of measurement for all. Such thing
is of vast importance in this day and
time, when the law so often fails to
lay itself the" full length of the indi-
vidual If the young man stepping
forth into the world of achievement
does not recognize the fact that he
is being measured every minute OF
his life he now, as a rule, becomes a
moral outlaw. There can be no doubt
that he should be dealt with according
to his propriety.
He is the freeman whom the truth
makes free,
And all are slaves besides"
Renegade sentiment is today play
ing havoc with everything.
If the United States of America
keeps cut Of the European war our
peers will have proved their worth.
There is 40 menace to this country in
Europe. The menace is in its incep-
ton right here at home. 1t is the be-
lief that license is freedom.
Time and space have been practi-
cally annihilated 500 per cent within
the past 100 years. and any code Of
ethics or law that has not wholly re-
generated within that time is obsolete
There is no system of government
going to fit the demand save a uni
versal concentration of law
This must be done not only in spirit
but literally in deed and action. There
must be combination of coercion
and rights, always as immediate as
conditions will permit. With the lines
of demarcation concisely drawn.
The country should have universal
military service, and all should have
the right of suffrage commensurate
with service.

HIS FAVoRtTE CARNIVAL
FEATURE

Honolulu, T. H., March I, 1917.
Editor, Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Honolulu.
Sir With regard to the inquiry APP
pearing in the Star-Bulletin OF the
2Sth ultimo under the caption OF
What Carnival Feature Has Pleased
You Most?" will say that the decora-
ton of the streets was a very pleasing
feature of the carnival period and one
which appealed to me as much as any
thing else and with a view to making
a suggestion rather than criticiZing,
would like to see the Decoration Com
mittee in the 1918 carnival decorate
each pole along the main streets in
the town portion Of the city more
specially along the line of the parade.
This can be done by taking about two
or three branches Of cocoanut palms
and. placing them around the base OF
the pole. 1t will not be a large job
and l know there are lots of people
ready and only too, glad to cut a
branch or two from each Of their
trees.
: Hoping this win help some, I remain
r Yours very truly,
II, g, DAVIS.

Third, came the beautiful Japanese
Lantern Parade which did each and

TO be called Illumination Night. Have
every citizen light up homes and

be beautiful
The magnificent paintings | must
not pass by, as each one fascinated
me so with their marvellous work OF

JAMES STEINER: About eight years
ago the downtown property owners Subscrib
ed something like $45, 900 for the opening Of
Bishop street, between King and Merchant
streets, to help along the federal building
site on the Mahuka lot. The federal govern
ment sold the Mahuka lot, plus good profit
and received the money already for it, II
would seem that the subscribers for this
street opening fund were due an early re
fund not mentioning any interest that would
be only fair under the circumstances if prop
erly placed before the authorities.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Right to Get Mangled.

The legislature OF 1917 following the
precedent set by previous general assem-
hlies, refused to pass the bill fixing a
penalty for trespassing on railroad rights
of way. Since the time of this refusal
The Messenger believes four, possibly
six, persons have lost their lives in Yer
mont while trespassing on the railroads.
The report of the public service commits
sion few years ago set forth that sew
eral preceding reports had called upon
the general assembly for such legisla-
ton, but each appeal having been ig-
nored, the commission would cease in
its importuning. Why is it that the leg
islature will do nothing along the line
Of legislation to stop this evil? Ii can
not be on the score that legislation will
have no effect for the anti-trespassing
laws of Canada. which are rigid and
strictly enforced, have most salutary re-
suits. Is there some inherent right rep
resented in this tempting death by walk
ing in front of a locomotive with a half
a hundred loaded freight cars behind it,
We are freedom loving people here in
Vermont and apparently we stand firm
against any invasion OF our right TO get
mangled under the wheels OF a railroad
train.-St. Adams Messenger.

If Great Britain should settle the Irish
question to the satisfaction of the PEG.
pie of Ireland, the result would give an
impetus to military service that would
be very valuable at this stage of the
war, Ireland has sent large number
of men to the war but still has many
many more who would be considered
eligible for army or navy service. If the
people of Ireland were to become salts
fled with the program outlined for them,
there would be an entirely different spir-
it in that land. Ireland could become
quite factor in the allies cause.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-05-01

The boys of the State Agricultural
school at Randolph Center and of the
Vail Agricultural school at Lyndon have
been sent home from their school work
in order to help along the campaign of
crop raising in various parts of Vermont,
and only the seniors will return later in
the year to receive their diplomas, while
the other students will, presumably, be
given credit for full years school work
Although not numerous, the boys of the
two schools should be in position to do
much toward furthering the bigger crop
movement, because the work is Just
along the lines of their studies in the
two institutions and they ought to be in
position to put some of the ideas gained
in school to practical use. The faculties
or trustees of the two schools have done
wisely in closing the schools at this time
when the cropraising campaign is about
to open. II would be patriotic if the
other secondary schools Of Vermont
should close their sessions shortly in or.
der that the boys might be released for
farm work.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
American Farmers Can Win the War

American Farmers Can Win the War
Editor The Times,
In this great time, when every either
must do his part, the president has mad
his chief appeal to the men who live OF
the land. He is right in doing so, for tn,
safety of our country just now is in thc
hands of our farmers. What | mean il
not merely our safety and the safety o.
Jour allies in the matter of food. | near
that the safety OF the United States
against foreign invasion hangs on the de-
cision OF the farmers OF the As states,
The two great weapons in this war are
arms and starvation. The war against
German arms will be won or lost in
FTance-the war against starvation will
be won or lost in America. The kaiser
cannot whip the French and English
armies and the English navy while Eng
land has food. But it is still possible
that the German submarines may be able
to keep food enough from reaching Eng
land to starve her into submission.
/ If the submarines win, the first item
| in the kaiser's terms of peace will be
the English fleet. With the English fleet
in his possession, the kaiser viii be mas
ter of the world.
What will happen to us then? Every
man who stops to think knows the an
swer. We shall have money, food, labor,
land-everything that is desirable in the
world except the power to protect what
We have. Experts estimate that it will
take us nine months to get ready to meet
a German army of even 10000 men,
with modern artillery Under such cir
cumstances, would the Germans treat ms
better than they have already treated
Belgium and FranceY
Even if the armies Of our allies should
crush the German military power this
summer, before the shortage of food can
reach the point of want the world would
still need vast quantities of American
food. But ii they do not, only one course
can make us safe, and that is to grow
food enough on our farms for ourselves
and our allies, and to put ships enough
on the sea TO carry the food, in spite of
the submarines, to the men who are
fighting our fight.
Ii the war lasts beyond this summer,
it will be the American farmer who will |
win or lose the war, who will overcome |
militarism and autocracy, or allow them |
to spread and control the world, our
selves included.
This is no fanciful picture, but sober
fact. Many man will make light OF it
until he comes TO think it over, but
venture to say that few win treat it
lightly after careful thought. 1t is no
more impossible than the great war it.
self appeared to be only few days be-
fore it began.
Ii is true that we can greatly increase
the available food supply out of grain
now used in making liquors, and by re
iucing household waste. But when these
two things are done. and done thorough
y, they will not be enough. The final
leeision viii still rest in the hands of
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-05-01
WE MUST TAKE OUR HARD KNOCKS,
TOO.

| A war cannot be all one sided Amer
leans have already learned that although
their country is only nominally in the
war at the present time. A short time
ago the American public was exulting
over the reported feat of the naval gun
ners on the American steamer Mongolia
in sinking a submarine in the waters con-
tiguous to England. That report was
received with great acclaim throughout
the entire country. The pleasure over
that announcement had not subsidized to
any great extent before there came an
other report and of different nature.
An armed American steamer was this
time the victim of German submarine
and several of the naval gunners on
board the Vacuum were missing, together
with members of the crew. Thus the
exultation over the former reported fact
is tempered by sorrow over the later hap
pening; and Americans have received
their first lesson in warfare, in that we
must expect defeat as well as victory.
Our participation in the war cannot be
one long line of successes. There will
inevitably be some reverses--great re,
verses at times.
