GOOD AMERICANlSM.

Typical of the attitude of so many Americans of German blood Mr. r. Muller, of Honolulu, writes the Star Bulletin that he planes no German American for sympathizlng with the land of his fathers in the European war issues, but now that questions are pending between Germany and the United States it is up 10 every man in this country, every one who calls himself an American, to back up this government in the hour of need.' Mir. Muller does not like the attitude of criticism that a few of his friends of German blood evince.
 But all of MT. Muller's letter reads very well. Addressing Americans of German blood who recently held a meeting in Honolulu and criticised the attitude of this government in its dealings with the kaiser, he writes:
 What has the kaiser done for you in the past years? Nothing. But stil! when this country is in trouble and needs the support of every man, you are turning against it.
 Have you forgotten the oath you took when first you entered this country, to fight any enemy of this country whenever needs be? Well, if you have, we'll and good, so please stop and save us a lot of pain.
 T am true, and I know there are lot of others who will fight for the adopted country to the last. Any of you would be Americans who do not like the style of this governments doings, quit and get out or shut your mouths forever.
 T have home ties, brothers, sisters, nephews and aieces who are in I'. old country and who are near and dear to me but now I have to stop for the country which I adopted as my future home needs the support of every true citizen, and therefore it is up to us 10 do our best and not criticize the government which is hand that's feeding him? Forget the home ties until this crisis has passed and show yourselves as men"

PRIVATE PREPAREDNESS.

Private preparedess in this eoun- try has been immeasurably in ad- vance of public preparedness. Manu- facturng plants all over the country are prepared to turn out munitions of war in unlimited quantities; the railroads are preparing schemes for mobi1izing all of the transportation resources of the country, so that there may be a comprehensive plan ready when the occasion comes for the moving of large bodies of men. The banks of the country are prepared to fiuenee the government to an un- limited amount and have arrange ments perfected through which to float any loans required.
 A further instance of private pre- paredaess is seen in the statements of ghe magazines published Tn the interest of motor boating that during the year 1916 75 per cent of all the express cruisers launched on the At lantic seaboard were built in accord- ance with the specifications of the navy department and are equipped to mount guns and to act as patrols of the coast in case of emergency.
 These boats, ostensibly pleasure craft, have been constructed by pri- vate individuals at a cost of from $S,000 to S25,000 each. All have great speed and relatively large steaming radius and all are seaworthy and if: for duty off the coast. The obvious intent and purpose of their construc- tion was that they, together with the services of their owners and crews, should be ready for governmental uses.
 As a contrast to this private pre- paredaess we have the spectacle pre- sented by congress of what a mIli- tary officer styles, appropriately, get rich quick" preparedness. Con- gross appropriated vast sums, bu. up to the present time has passed no measure providing for body of trained soldiers up to the needs which will develop should we have war, There are fewer men iH the army than there were four years ago and asfew more in the navy.

LOSS OF LIFE WILL

LONDON EXPLOSION

London, Jan. 22.-Throughout Sun
day thousands Of persons flocked to
Fast London hoping to satisfy their
sion Friday in the munition factory
there. None of them, however. was
able to obtain a near view OF the scene
owing to rigid police regulations.
The newspaper reporters who were
allowed to approach nearer the scene
described what was formerly the site
of the explosive store as hole II
hundred yards across and so feet deep
with masses Of earth, iron and all
sorts of wreckage covering an area of
about six acres around the hole. With
in the area the destruction was abSo-
lutte.
For two days. says the Daily
Mails reporter. soldiers have been
digging in and turning over the
wreckage In search of bodies. About
a hundred have been recovered. but
there are still more. 1t seems almost
impossible to remove the thousands
of tons OF earth, stone, iron and wood
under which they are buried. On the
whole, however, one is struck far
more by the number of people who
escaped than by the number Killed.
Judging from the fact that most
OF the factories were nearly empty and

pear that the death roll will exceed
300."

that no nation should seek to extend
