REGENTS right in THEIR Stand

that flag is the Stars and Stripes.
When our country entered the war,
she followed the lead of the presi-
dent, suppressing whatever personal
opinion she might have entertained
previous to the declaration Of war. To
her the paramountCy of the United
States is unquestionable, and yet she
has been accused of acts of disloyalty.
I challenge her accusers to state
wherein and whereby they are any
more loyal than she is or was. |
doubt whether they had been as neu-
trail and loyal to the United States as
Miss Mathews had been before VIC
joined the Allies. The question fore
most in my, mind is whether these
people, particularly those who had
been naturalized, are permitting their
feelings for the country in which they
were born to obstruct the performance
of their duties as American citizens
and public servants. If the perform
ance of these duties were made sub
serVient to the feelings for the coun-
try of their birth, then it would be an
outrage and the height of inconsist-
ency to bring a lady OF Miss Mathews
scholarship and refinement into the
public press. To say the least, it IS
unchivalrous, not to say indecent.
Respectfully yours,
HOON WO WONG.

MYSTERY ship
REPORTED Seen
NEAR MAINLAND

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-Offt
GERS of the Union Steamship Com.
pany's steamer Paloona, which arriy.
ed here yesterday from Tahiti with
the marooned victims of the Seeadlec
aboard, said they had recognized the
steamer Maverick. suspected OF oper
ating as a German raider since the
disappearance last August, about Go
miles from San Francisco, on the
route to Honolulu.
On the night OF December s. the Of.
ficers said, they sighted a vessel ap
parently wrapped in flames. They
put over their vessel to give aid, only
to make out the silhouette which STOOD
out against the ragged spot Of high;
in the background of sea and night
as that Of the Maverick. The outlines
Of the vessel were declared to be dis.
tinctive and unmistakable.
The Maverick, formerly owned by
Captain Fred Jebsen, dropped out of
sight last August while on a run from
Manila to the canal. Reports that a
German raider had been operating in
the Pacific have led masters to be ex
tremely careful. 1t is believed by
many in marine circles that the Nav.
erick, fourteen-knot boat, is lying in
wait for some faster vessel which the
crew hopes to capture and turn into a
second Seeadler.

repel an attack of the enemy and the

particularly asked the people at home
to back up the men on the firing line
He said there was no more effective
method than by stopping the PREACHER

all Germans among us as enemies.

HonoluIan Says Bitterness OF
War Warps Judgment in At
tacks on College Faculty
Members for Alleged Dis
loyalty
December %, 1917.

December %. 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Permit me to take this occa-
sion to congratulate Mr.. Harrington
and the other members OF the Board Of
Regents of the College OF Hawaii on
the stand they have taken with refer
ence to the two instructors at the To-
cal college. who were charged with
disloyalty to our country by idle and
gossip mongers. BY this act alone,
Ir. Harrington has shown that he Is
patriot and, at the same time, just
and conscientious man.
The hatred and bitterness Of the
war, resulting from the barbarous acts
of the Huns, have made inroads into
our daily lives, and we are gradually
carrying this war against our neigh
bors who, perhaps. have never offend
ed US except in difference of opinion.
Hence, it is very difficult to find a
patriot nowadays who is also just and
conscientious.
As understand it, the purpose of a
college is to seek after truth. This is
more so in view Of the fact that our
COLLEGE Was u EdlSN pa ILloIilS AOA
scientific investigations. Science is an
effort to obtain truth. That being the
case, the feeling of bitterness and
hatred of this war should never be a
factor in deciding who should or
should not be teachers in the college.
The sole and only question, it seems to
me, should be whether the instructor
is competent and efficient, Academic
freedom should not only be encour-
aged but insisted upon in order that
the end of scientific research be at
tanned.
The instructors, who were so un'
tremendously and unnecessarily
brought into public scrutiny. have
never been guilty of any specific act
of disloyalty to our flag. Miss Math-
ews, who can trace her ancestry back
to the landing of the pilgrims. has
more claim to being a good citizen
than her accusers ever desire or hope
to be. She has shown explicitly and
conclusively in her answer to Presl-
dent Deans inquiry that prior to the
United States entrance into this cata-
clysm, she was neutral, absolutely
against this war in any shape or form.
She was loyal to one flag only, and

MINEOLA, n. Y, Nov. 27.-Little
Jack De Saulles, son of Blanca De

Jthe most part, on the listless white
hands in her lap.
The psychology OF Blanca De
Saulles, as set forth in the opening
speech OF the prosecution, Is not that
of woman who would commit deed
! of violence. Only being whose in
| liibitions we're gentle and whose ma
/ ture was tender could. in an hour of
great emotion, have taken thought for
those dependent upon her-bail for
her maid, the fee of the taxi driver
this consideration is not the mark OF
the cold blooded murderer but Of a
kind heart that never forgets the needs
| of others.
! What could have goaded a gentle
girl to such deed? The battling
face, the apathetic attitude like wall
flung back the question at world
that seeks to penetrate the Businesses
Of mothers heart. It is not woman
who is on trial. but mother love which
strikes at whatever threatens the
child.
The district attorney, with all the
magic of words, recreated for the
jury every detail of the shooting from
the moment when the mother tele-
phoned to know why she could not
have her child to her arrest The
slight figure, clad in a simple brown
frock, with vest, collar and cuffs OF
gray white chiffon, gave no sign OF
interest or emotion. She wore the
look of one whose mind has rehearsed
the story with vearyins repetition IN
til it no longer registers. The mega
tive has been overexposed.
The Apathy Of Suffering.
. With the same apathy she listened
to the examination Of witnesses, but
this was the apathy ~ Suffering, not
of Indifference. No yoman who placed
SO high value upon the life she had
brought into the world could take a
life and not pay the penalty.
One wonders what she was like
this sad young mother, when in he1
i. happiness she became the bride Of
fascinating, handsome Jack De
Saulles.
What does she feel about It all
What does she think of those twelve

What does she think Of the Judge, the
prosecutor, the witnesses? What i;
