The Sleepers,

NGLISH newspapers publish many interest

different classes of society to the governmental
appeals and suggestions that greater economy be
exercised. .":
The Daily Mail casually remarks that even after
two and half years of'the greatest war the world
has ever known there still seem to be people who
think that war does not affect u.s." Artists are
painting and exhibiting silly, meaningless stu
dies OF impressionsm and still life while on bat
tlehelds almost within range of the eye there are
epic scenes where giants strive for mastery, and
man becomes superman in the performance of
deeds OF superhuman courage and sacrifice Here
indeed artists worthy of their calling might per-
form priceless service in recording inspired
vas for future generations the story of heroism
Little men in England, like small men here and
everywhere, would have exceptions made in their
own behalf, because they have no imagination, no
realization that the oceans of blood spilled on
European battlefelds might in any immediate way
affect their own existence A national demand on
this class that they exercise economy is not met
IN the right spirit so that the problem of getting
the great masses to perform great sacrifices seems
almost hopeless.
To bring home this point the Daily Mail reports
conversation between two house-mads who
boast that this year one has used "only three" and
the other 'ony four" loaves OF bread for cleaning
the Whe walls OF a llV1ng-roOm! Another in
stance was that in city where the municipal
authorities voted to have all citizens go without
meat two days week. the meatless days provoked
almost famine in bread, potatoes and sugar.
The slogan, business as usual" needs must be
Interpreted by understanding minds. There are
many instances where continuance of usual prac-
tises by the great unthnking masses might lead to
serious consequences. 1t is human nature to hoard
food, money, clothing and raw materials, against
threatening shortage Our trade journals have
supplied abundant evidence that the American peo-
pie are not superior to other mortals in this parti-
cular, as, witness the recent absorption of refined
sugar in the home markets, to such an extent that
export shipments to allies have been seriously
curtailed.
The preliminary announcement by the British
food commission that on April potatoes would be
placed under governmental control led tens of
thousands OF consumers to buy and store more
than their usual supply previous to that date On
the date set for the authorities to take over the
distribution it was found that there were no large
supplies i'll storage. The unfortunate part has
been, says the authority above quoted, that pota-

Barley and a Cro,Un

AWHILE the demand for the abdication OF Con-
w stantine of Greece came directly from the
French, whose representative landed at Piraeus
with force of troops to endorse his stand the real
demand came from the Greeks themselves, rep
resented by Venizelos and his paramount faction.
The question of the control of the barley fields of
Thessaly was the question which proved fatal for
Constantine and his frau the Princess of Prussia
and Queen of Greece. Summing up this situation,
two weeks ago. before Senator Jonnart came to
give the final push to the tottering throne in
Athens, Minister of Education Averoff, of the
Venzelos cabinet said:

Constantine should like the Turks, be turned bag and

COCKTAILS HAS ONE
SYMPATHY
Prominent British ShipbuIideI
Also Says Wooden Ships
Are ImpracticabIe
(By The Associated Press)

LONDON, May 30-HOne of the fore.
most authorities on shipbuilding in the
world, a man who helped build many
Of the German liners now interned in
American ports, does not look with
favor upon the proposal Of the United
States to build wooden ships to make
up for the losses through the submarine
warfare. He is Alexander Carlisle, late
general manager of the shipbuilding
firm Of Harland and Wolff, Belfast,
who is widely known in America. The
reason he advances is that wooden ship
building is lost art.
1.-THE American oak" says Mr.. Car.
lilse, (Which is available for shipbuild.
ing at the present time is better adapt.
ed for collins than ships. The oak used
in the wooden ships of the past came
from France, and can no longer be OBJ.
tanned. 1t was light and lent itself to
the framing of the bilges and the
fore and aft bodies.
"AlsO, there is required greater
manual effort to build wooden ships
than ships of steel or iron, and there
are no men in Great Britain now skill
ed in building ships of wood; it is
lost art. In the case of wooden ships,
all is manual work, in truth, whereas
in iron and steel ships the work is
largely done by machinery, such as
rollers, bender, punching, and shear
ing. From no point of view which l
have been able to adopt does the con
struction Of wooden ships recommend it.
self as a swift, commercial measure of
meeting the submarine menace"
Because of his intimate knowledge of
the German lines in American ports,
Mr. Carlisle does not believe they could
be used as food carriers without ex.
tensiVe alterations. "The utility of
the German liners interned in Ameri.
can ports is another big question, ("

GERMAN RESISTANCE
TO BREAK IN JUNE
General Legge Expects War To
Last Another Year
(By The Associated Press)

MELBOURNE, May Maj. Gen.
James Gordon Legge, chief of the Aus
tralian general staff, who left Australia
in May, 1915, to command the first Aus
tralian division at the Dardanelles and
subsequently served with distinction
on the GallipOli Peninsula and in North
.ern France, said on his recent return
here from the western front:
~ am convinced that the German re.
sistance will be broken by June and
hardly think that the war will last an.
other year. The duration of the German
resistance after the main line is broken
can only be guessed at. Once Germany
is beaten on the western front Turkey
and Austria will soon cry enough and
collapse like house of cards. F"
General Legge said that the weather
and the mud had all along been
greater obstacle than the Germans on
the western front and had prolonged
trench fighting,
Speaking of German warfare he said
that while on the western front "on
undoubted evidence" he was shown

ing that men had been crucified upon

TAX COLLECTIONS
BREAK ALL MARKS
Exceed Those Of Last Year BY
approximately One Million
Dollars In Territory

\ With the close yesterday of the time

ed that the collections this year ex.
eeeded those of last year by approx.

whole the entire collection was the
greatest made by the Honolulu internal
revenue Office in its history. u,
There were only two delinquents up
to the closing of the Office yesterday,
one a corporation in the Island of Ha.
waii, and the other an individual in Ho-
nolulu. The amount owing by the two
to the government does not even reach
ten dollars, It was announced yester.
day. l-.s..4 b. - u.
No one would say that so much money
was poured into the treasury of the
United States through its Honolulu
office, for there was no rush and at no
time was there q line or crowd waiting
to be attended to. The bulk of the in
come taxes was paid in weeks ago, the
corporations, mainly, and many indivi.
duals periodically needing the Coun-
try's call and paying their tithes weeks
in advance of the last date. JAZZ. "

viduals who assisted this Office by pay
ing their income taxes weeks in ad,

needed the money most, said Collector
John F. Haley yesterday, "are to be
complfmented with unstinted praise.
Their action was noble one. Every
thing seemed to conspire, if that is q

such as those paid by liquor dealers
and manufacturers and others, will be-
come delinquent after June 80. An.
other record is hoped to be established
