COURT CUTS DOWN
FEE FOR SALVAGE

Wireless advices received today by
the law firm of Smith. Warren & SUIT
ton, attorneys for the Inter-lsland
Steam Navigation Company, state that
allowance In the famous old salvage
case of the Halcyon has been reduced
from $500 to $4,000 by the United
States court of appeals. &. ,... ...z
The salvaging took place in Hilo
harbor one night in January, 1914,
when the boat was said to have been
at the merry of wind and storm, and
was rescued by the Intes- Island boat
Niihau. The contention of the owners
of the Halcyon was that this was not
more than a towing operation.
The case was fought out in the, To-
cal circuit court under Judge Sanford
Is. Dole and later an appeal was taken
with the result as stated above.

SUPPRESSION is THE ONLY
SAFE COURSE.

The financial basis is not the high
est foundation upon which to rest q
plea for law and decency, yet it is
very practical foundation, to be
sure. 1t has often been pointed out
that to the law-abiding citizen there
is no protection save the law. He
cannot go around armed to the teeth
and ready to shoot down those who
may attack him. He becomes a law
breaker himself when he deserts the
law as his defender and takes the
matter into his own hands.
The man in business who commits
his life to obedience to law, moral or
CIVIC, brings down upon his head the
most ruthless opposition of all those
committed to law-breaking. This
jeopardizes his business, put him in
defenseless case, and sorely tempts
him to surrender to the ways of the
lawbreaker. If all business, however,
were in the hands of the unscrupu-
lous, it would soon be a condition of
anarchy which kills all business. Yet,
to stand out against the immoral and
unworthy operators brings down upon
his head all manner of underhand
competition. He will find slander to
be a chief weapon of the man whose
malice he has brought upon himself.
He will find his business boycotted.
He will find the gamblers and blind
tigers lined up against him and in
directly diverting business to his COM
petitor who is himself one of the
gang" Then, too, the honest bus
mess comes to feel the disaffection
engendered by such enemies among it's
own forces. Clerks, helpers, work.

The war is teaching wholesome les
sons on economy, and this is of great
value to our people. We have been
wasteful-of that there is no doubt.
we have been nation of prodigals.
We have been in the habit of throw
ing out of the kitchen window large
part of our food. We have loaded our
tables with three times the necessary
food for the family. A large portion
OF the food found its way to the gar
bage can. All this is being changed.
We are slowly learning some sense.
But knowledge comes slowly, too
slowly, it seems to us.

men, in the employ of the man who
stands for clean business and clean
living come to feel the influence of
the outside hate and are themselves
melted to unfaithful service and lack
of cooperation if not to downright al
lance with the forces of evil. A
young clerk, frequenting the gambling
den may soon become antagonistic to-
wards an employer who fights shy of
such places. 1t is then but a step
to deeper hostility that may lead to
theft and betrayal. 1t is hard for
honest business to succeed under such
conditions. In fact, it is we'll night
impossible. The moral of all this is
that no quarter should be shown the
blind tiger, the gambler and the moral
crook of whatever nature. 1t is poor
business to allow such individuals to
go unwhipped of justice. Suppression
is the only safe course.

GERMANY WILL NOT
HAVE REVOLUTION
Great French Writer Predicts People
Will Not Rise Against Govern
ment.

Paris, July 5, (By MaiD Asked
to state whether he believed revolu-
ton to be possibility in Germany,
DIR. Max Nordeau, the great sociolo-
gist and editor, writes from Spain:
Food rots there may be and will
be in Germany, but revolution is
out of the question.
The German people still believe
the monstrous lies invented by the
government, despite the most palpa-
bic evidence which establishes the
truth as clear as daylight and is avail
able to everybody who can read.
The soul Of Germany has been
methodically perverted, demoralized,
dehumanized by official teachings and
propaganda, by intellectual deceit
cunningly organized into form of
scholastic, official and social terror
ISM
Ihe German people rejoice in their
slavery; they are proud of it because
their masters have been astute enough
to wrap it up with attractive names.
Is called organization, abject degrade
Livery is called uniform. servitude
e1on of the human personality is
called discipline and the remuneration
OF all rights and dignity and person
ality is called heroic abnegation.
1T is enough to make one quit the
human family in disgust to think that
for whole century two worlds have
regarded the Germans as inveterate.
immutable individualists.
However, let us hold on to our
faith in the final triumph of reason,
truth, justice, law and morality-in a
word, civilization"

Union county has shown that her
men are no "slackers" when it comes

themselves to the country's need in
TINS day of mighty struggle And we
do not believe our county is going to
develop "slackers" in the matter of
producing food and feed stuffs. Manv
farmers who paid 1925 bushel for

again. Both our patriotism and our
pocket book insstently demand that
we go the limit in the production of

Germany's peace talk is not to be
taken seriously. 1t is nothing more
than a "tissue of lies" and is very
like Germany's diplomacy has former
ly been. There is no sincerity in Ger
many's dealings with other nations.
There can be nothing to a nation that
regards its treaties as scraps of pa
per; that butchers women and chill
dren in ruthless fashion upon the
high seas; that brutally assaults help
less women in conquered territory,
giving these same helpless women
over to brutal, diabolical handling
that puts to shame "the unspeakable
Turk; that arogantly, impiously and
brazenly calls upon the God of heav-
emily to sanction the foul crimes COM
mitted.
The civilized world need look for II,
peace short of the absolute humbling
of this monster, this cannbal among
nations. There must be a crushed
Germany, else the ends of justice will
not be met. The mauldin cry for
peace is not to be needed. The ends
of justice must first be met. The
strong arm of the victors must not
be stayed until the German kaiser and
every autocrat directly responsible for
the world-carnage is not only de-
throned but Adequately punished. The
death penalty must be meted out to
the guilty ones. In no other way can
self-respecting civilization justify
itself. If the world is to be made
"safe for Democracy" if truth am,
honor are to be basic principles in
national life, if righteousness and
justice are to enter into the future
life of the world, German ideals and
German ethics will have to be
crushed. Don't fool yourself into sup
posing that this war would have been
Justlfiable upon any other hypothesis.
1t is the death struggle between free
dom and slavery; between democracy
and autocracy, and to fight short of a
finish would be to fail. Germany
must be completely whipped. Nothing
short of that will make the future
safe; nothing short of that will make
the world safe place for women and
children. And a world in which wo-
men and children are unsafe is a poor
world, world not worth the saving.

The war department is making it
plain that the "vice districts" in cities
near encampments of soldiers must
be cleared out. When these misguid-
ed and pitiful women are driven from
Spartanburg, Columbia and Charles
ton, there will be tendency for them
to congregate elsewhere. The small
er communities may be overrun with
them. There should be some way to
protect these communities. They
should protect themselves. And
there should be some way for these
misguided women to go about making
an honest living. This is big prob
lem that demands more and more
thought on the part of the people.

Jews Will Fight Bravely
For Russia, Says Bamberger

That the Jews will fight more pa
triotically for Russia, now that they
have received recognition, is the pre-
diction Of Governor Simon Bamberger
of Utah. who is Jew. The following
statement by Governor Bsmberger APP
pears to-day in "The Jewish Morning
Journal:
"The proposed emancipation OF the
Jews in Russia sounds almost too good
to be true. However, should 1t prove
to be indeed true, then it means a
wonderful future for Russia as ma
ton. The revolution cannot prove
otherwise than beneficial for our peo-
pie. even though they are not complete
ly enfranchised. The Jews in Russia,
oppressed and downtrodden though
they are, represent an exceptionally
intellectual class, a people that will
prove to be among the most enlight-
ened of the progressive races Of mod
ern times. and in return for their
emancipation will undoubtedly fight
bravely and periodically for the coun-
try that has given them such signal
recognition, tardy though it is"

Germans Journey
To Georgia Forts
Delayed 2 Days
Daniels at Last Moment
Halls Removal of In
termed Crews

from A stat Correspondent Of The Tnbunel
Philadelphia, March 21.-Orders from
Secretary Daniels, which came at the
last minute to-day, delayed the removal
TO Georgia Of the crews of the German
raiders Kronprinz Wilhelm and Prinz
Eitel Friedrich.
Il is stated the Germans will be
taken away on Friday, probably at day
break. 1t was said that the delay was
made at the behest of Major General
Scott. who wanted more time to remove
the 18th Infantry from the border to
Forts Oglethorpe and Mcpherson,
where the Teutons will be sequestered.
Another theory was that the delay
was due to the fact that it was made
certain to-day that Lieutenant Victor
II. Kroth and Machinist's Mate Herman
Schroeder, who participated in the
break for liberty from the Wilhelm
Monday night, have escaped. 1t was
not unreasonable to assume that Kroth
and Schroeder would make a desperate
effort to free some of their comrades
during the long railroad journey South.
The government will take every pre-
caution against such an occurrence.
Three hundred and sixty marines viii
stand guard in the coaches which will
convey the Germans, who will number
about 500. In addition to the 900 men
from the two raiders, Lieutenant Hans
Berg and his crew from the Appam
also will be escorted into retirement.
By the Kaiser's command, a German
prisoner of war is bound TO attempt
to escape. A German prisoner must
keep a record of his attempts. An
escaped soldier or sailor is duty bound
to attempt to assist in the deliver
ance Of his compatriots.
There was little sleep for those
aboard the German vessels last night.
Shortly before midnight an American
officer handed to the German COM
mander Of the Prinz Eitel Captain
Russel's order. which notified the
Germans TO be in readiness TO leave
their ships at a. m. to entrain. A
guard of fifteen from each crew could
be left behind with the ships-a
clause designed to save the incident
from the category Of warlike acts
The German tars greeted the read
ing OF the order with hochs. The
Kaiser's iron discipline was relaxed.
With no thought for the thirty who
were 70 be left behind. every key Of
beer aboard both vessels was hoisted
to deck. along with the available stock
OF provisions, and the sailors set in
to celebrate what they believed would
be their last night aboard ship.
