RESULTS OF THE LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN.
(By Henry clews, Ffnancier)

(By Henry Clews, F1nancier)
The Liberty Loan proved gratifying success, it
being oyersubscribed, fully onehalf having been
raised in New York. One of the most pleasing fea-
lures was that over two million subscribers are re
ported to have taken part which is double the num-
Der attracted to the first loans of either Great
Britain or Germany. Evidently there is no lack Of
patriotism in the country. The cause of the hest
taton to freely subscribe at the start was that the
mass Of people in the United States did not then
fully appreciate the vital issues at stake They have
only slowly realized that back of all surface and
minor issues stands one supreme fact; that the
struggle is prominently to preserve democracy
against autocracy; that the freedom won in 1776
was gravely menaeed, and that sefprotecton really
forced Us into the contest; not to mention the die
tates OF humanity and our fundamental beliefs in
liberty and in advanced civilization. We have been
SO isolated from European affairs, so wrapped up
In our own interests, free from injury or pain.
30 confident Of our safety so satisfied with our own
progress and so pleased with war profits that super
human efforts were necessary to overcome the solid
inertia which made it difficult to turn the rising
spirit OF patriotism into positive action This fact
was clearly demonstrated by earlier enthusiasm dis
played in the seaboard cities which are naturally in
closer touch with Europe and more sensitive to its
movements than the Interior albeit the latter some
times oyerlooks to what an extent it is dependent
upon Europe as market for it's products. Time,
however, will work great changes in this respect,
especially when doings of the American army and
navy on the other side begin to awaken latent enthu
slasm. President Wilson's eloquent Flag Day ad-
dress was an effective appeal to American patriot
Ism and selfinterest that will have wide and bene.
cial effect Within few months the new spirit will
have swept across the continent welding the whole
country together in it's determination to push the
struggle with all possible vigor to victorious con-
clusion.

Training the CantOniers

A thorough going cantonier system for Oahu
seems at last assured. In times past a NUMBER OF
factors have prevented the establishment OF tine
system even when ii was generally recognized that
Honolulu's roads were not getting the attention on
eysryday repairs which was necessary to keep the
little holes from getting bigger"
During the last year or so the municipal treasury
has been too scantily furnished to permit the estao
lishment of the cantoniering system Now there are
funds in sight thanks to the big jump in tax Taua
lions as announced at the tax office, and both the
Republicans and Democrats on the board OF super
risors are pledged to the principle OF this road
repair system. Supervisor Petrie has already In
Produced resolution providing for the system ana
there is no why the entire board should not
ppeed;Iy put the plan into operation, through the
engineering department.
On this point a good suggestion comes to tne
Star Bulletin from practical road builder. IL IL
that the city establishing training school for can
toners. Every man, before being employed on inc
roads should get some training in patching, oing,
and other features. This win have two important

GREECEs NEW GOVERNMENT.

The Venizelists are back in the saddle in Greece,
or rather one should say in the saddle instead of
merely on the horses back trying to Dust the king
from his position.
Recent Dispatches from Athens outline the new
government program as follows:
The plan adopted at saloniki, between venizelos
and Senator Jonnart of France, for the reunion of
Greece is roughly as follows The cabinet is to be
reconstructed by the inclusion of yenzelists to pre-.
side over the ministries Of the Interior Justice and
the army. -.-."'
The chief of police and officers, who after the
events Of December, 1916, were imprisoned and who
on their release went to saloniki--notably Marou,
das chief Of the secret police in way q supporter
of the Allied anse-will be reappointed to their
former posts. Some 400 Cretan gendarmes will
form the bulk Of the police force A number of
army officers Of the saloniki force are waiting at
salams to take over duties at Athens akin to those
ct the higher police officers. y, s..
In cabinet council the government decided to
form committee Of four-two representatives of
the Athens government and two of the provisional
government at Ealoniki Ito recommend methods for
reorganiEing unified Greece An amnesty for poll
teal Offenders the representation of Greece abroad
the inclusion Of Venizelists in the Zaimis ministry
and the summoning Of the chamber are among the
matters which will be dealt with by the committee
Repouls will be one Of the two yenizelist members
The new king is unwilling to take up the full ilu-
ties Of state till his position is assured It seems
clear that only by vote of the national assembly,
which the chamber viii convoke, can the king defin
itely be seated on the throne
In the meantime the disposition to regard King
Constantine as q martyr is lessering both in his
own country and aboard It is significant that the
most fearless newspaper writer in Germany, Max
milan Harden, has GENE out openly in declaration
that Constantine broke faith with the Allied Pow
ers. Harden justffes the action of the Entente
group in taking control of Greece, as follows:
England, France and Russia stand firmly on
their treaty rights According to the eighth article
OF the treaty of 1880 they may if alone, even with
out the consent Of the Greek state send troops to
that territory. That they have done
'The king, who against the recognizable will Of
the people, disobeyed the chamber, who dismissed
the cabinet OF Venizelos, notwithstanding it's un-
shakable majority, who forced new elections while
the army was Modified, who evacuated Fort Rup-
pei to the Bulgarian enemy of the protecting powers
this king was guilty Of breach of the treaties of
protection as by his actions Greek neutrality has
been violated and the independence of Greece re-
duced."

these surface things affect rs; what
mere ripples they are just now upon
our national lie.
And yet, in. Germany they are made
to appear as formidable opposition 20

Never was there such unanimous
and universal acquieseenee Is our
people have shown and show In the
Presidents war measures.
Even Canada IL less willing to yield
to emergencies. It IL really a marvel
that In q country like ours there
should be such loyal unanimity; but
Il is so, God be thanked!
