Governor Of Hawaii, succeeding Lucius

Rumors have been many regarding the

could not consider taking the position
as the nature Of his business and its
Immediate requirements demanded all
his attention.
But Mr.. Trent went to the mainland
for an extensive trip and only recent
~ returned. On his heels came the re,
port that he had been In consultation
with the powers that make territorial
Governors and that he had consented
to take the job if it were offered "a

EDITORIAL OPINION

MR.. cHAM6ERLAIN's ALIEN BILL.
From the New York Sun.
Senator Cbamberlain's bill for tie
enforced enlistment OF friendly aliens
or FIRST paper mer" resident in this
country is sens!ble and logical and
sbonid pass II IS superior in merit to
the Burnett bill originating in the
House. which provides merely Tor the
deportation " such aliens 70 Their
own countries ia case they refuse tC
accept Naturalization here ami the
liability 70 military service which
naturalization would entail. The Bur
nett bill suggests as its primary OBJ
iect the protection OF the labor mar
ket. The Chamberlain bill is wholly a
military measure.
II appears that in some instances
treaties interfere with the authority
OF the United States TO exact military
service OF these men. This is the case
with Italian and Russian subjects
here II will be the task OF the State
Department to discover whether their
home Governments will object TO their
enlistment It is believed that they
will not. Japanese and Chinese will
not be affected.
No secret Is made OF the fact that
the kilties who came to New York
recently to urge voluntary enlistment
upon British subjects here went away
disappointed with the enlistment re-
salts they attained While the num-
Der OF British slackers here is not
large, yet they should have produced
more men for the service than the
Kilties won. Great Britain might con-
ceivably adjust treaty rights to assist
our doing by compulsion what her
agents failed to accomplish by per-
suasion.
Il is the same with Italy and Rus
STA. These two States have .yens OF
thousands OF citizens in the United
States whom they have been unable
, 10 retrieve for military purposes. In
an American army they would fight
as effectively and as surely for their
home countries as il under the ban
ner of their nativity.
Every American boy who is now
drafted or enlists leaves an alien be-
hind, safe from wars perils and ready
to take his job This situation IS in

THE BIG GUNS CLEAR THE AIR FOR us.

NYoTHING today is undergoing more OF a change than
IN our estimate OF the value Of human life. We are
coming TO an entirely new view on that question
Good economists have told for years that our
views and our actions shaped largely by the neces-
stiles OF our lves-ln other words that our lives as
whole are shaped by the conditions that surround us
a II for sefstudy may ourselves under
going the most profound changes in social way while

We used to think human life was sacred We used
to think human life something to be held at al
most any cost in one way We were right but in
more fundamental way we were wrong. We are COM
ing TO see Il now-we being taught by new condi-
lions and new demands
Perhaps a pretty clear definition OF the new national
view OF the sacredness Of human life is this: A hu-
life is valuable and sacred only insofar it
tributes something to the good OF all.
Life has no individual value It has only social
value
Human life is too sacred TO be wasted but no life
wasted which is contributed to the advance OF hui
many.
The civilized world is waging a great It is a
war for democracy. This war is the most powerful
agency for human Advancement the world has ever
known It may never know another so potent
Human life laid down in this war is human life de-
voted TO the highest purpose possible II is life given
in the supreme service of mankind.
That is estimate OF life today
Those who see broadly that in the midst the
greatest deNasauon we nave ever KNOWN We are max
ing the most rapid progress we have known to-
ward higher type Of life, finer cleaner social life
better truer civilization.
To lay down life in the service OF humanity Is the
highest service TO which life be given.
We today, could not have seen without this

TONNAGE LOSSES.

From the New York Tribune.
The recent rise in the number OF
British vessels sunk by U-boats has
led, as usual, to a renewal Of the de-
mand for further information about
the losses in tonnage. Lord Beresford,
who has constantly protested against
the Admiralty's method Of tabulating
the weekly returns, speaks of the
shortage as VERY dangerous and
again urges the government 10 let the
whole truth be known, the question
Of tonnage being of far more import
ance than the number of vessels sunk.
His own estimate seems to conform
pretty nearly with the calculations of
some other observers. and though II is
conceivably exaggerated there Is no
way Of determining the tonnage with
certainty At the most favorable reck-
oning the British losses alone can
hardly amount to less than 100000
tons since the beginning Of 1917. and
the losses of the allied countries and
OF neutrals must be added to these.
Lord Beresford believes that in all
about 100000 tons OF shipping were
destroyed In the first six months o.
the year, and as there is not the
slightest hope OF securing new ship
ping al the rate Of 100000 a year, or
anything approaching It. the state of
affairs by next spring may be extreme
ly grave.
It IS unfortunate that in too many
discussions Of this matter arguments
are based on the German prediction
of million tons a month. The pre-
diction has certainly proved false;
yet nothing could be more foolish than
to conclude that the campaign must
be failure because an idle boast Is
still unfulhlled. Another error lies in
counting too much on numbers. as IL
a falling Off In vessels sunk necessar-
lily implied improvement, whereas In
many instances the difference in ton
mage lost may be relatively insignin-
cant.

1t will be cheaper to win the war
than II will be to lose It.
The school OF experience is very
thorough and sometimes very harsh.
and the tuition is often high. but there
are times when there seems to be no
other way to really get results. AS a
nation we have failed to heed the
advice Of the Fathers" Of our country
when they admonished us to prepare
for war In time Of peace Not having
done this, we must now pay the price
OF our neglect. / believe ultimately
we will win the war and that democ-
racy will survive and that autocracy

the administration for what Il has

is rather TO point out some dangers.
the Ignoring Of which may cost us
rivers Of blood and billions OF dollars.
This raises the question whether a
hundred millions Of people, covering
a vast area, with diversified and
somewhat conflicting interests, really
are permanently capable OF self-gov-
eminent. Democracy Is the greatest
experiment OF civilization and It is
yet on trial Volumes could be written
upon the dangers to democracy as re-
lated to our own country Space, here,
Will permit Of dealing only briefly
with two factors that appear TO me
TO be both pressing and fundamental.
We are the most lawless people of
any civilized nation, and I believe De
reason for this is the lack Of discip-
line In the American home and lax
administration OF our laws Our child
rem, as. a class. resent discipline as an
infringement upon their rights. They
are headstrong and inconsiderate. Not
being controlled and guided. they lack
self-control. In failing to insist upon
immediate and full compliance with
reasonable requests. parents do their
children a grave injustice and make
trouble for them and others in the
years to come. Similarly our courts
and juries are too lenient in furnishing
infractions OF law. Il is my opinion
after long period OF observation and
study, that the best corrective OF this
condition is compulsory military
training This could do more than any
other agency to build up the physical
manhood OF young men, to instill pa
trlotlsm. to create respect for au-

Secretary Lansing's Splendid Advice 10
America
America
CFrom the New York SUM.

The address delivered by Secretary
OF State Lansing at Madison Barracks
on Sunday is a notable and valuable
contribution to the literature of the
war because it is one Of a small num-
Der Of utterances by officials of the
United States Government in which
the national interest and the national
peril OF this country have not been
subordinated to the danger that Prus-
sianism holds for humanity in sem
eral. That danger Is not to be ignored.
1t is a real and continuing menace.
But It has been a weakness Of the
domestic presentation of our situa-
ton that in emphasizing the world
wide effects of imperial victory the
results to the United States have been
sighted.
The Presidents phrase, "the world
must be made safe for democracy"
expresses the general thought ade-
quately, but it does not bring the
facts home to the individual It re-

demonstrated truth when he says:
