GERMANS BEHIND
CHINA TROUBLES,
SAYS JOURNALIST

Pro-German feeling shows strongly
in China; the army Is even now Off
cered largely by Germans; and the
central civil government fears 10
break with Berlin because the army
may not follow the lead and TIE IN
ternal revolt may be disastrous.
Such are the conclusions OF J. W
Fraser, we'll known newspaperman Ct
the Far East. who IS in Honolulu to-
day on his way TO England and Scot
land, after a number Of years in
China. He has Oeen with the Shang'
hal Mercury for a considerable time
and Is veil informed on Chinese poll
tics.
President Ii is in a dilemma, lie
comments. He knows the govern
ment should go in with the Allies but
the German influence in the army is
50 strong that such course may lead
to disaster. | know personally that
the Germans are strong with the army
and with the military governors. The
government is certainly in bad spot
and what will come out Of It no one
knows.
He believes that one OF the strong
men in China today is sident
Feng 10 Chan, but says he does not
know whether this man will risk the
opposition of the army to so in with
the Allies. In short, Mr. Fraser feels
that the Germans are primarily res
ponsible for China's present position
and internal troubles.
Fraser is going home to see If he
can so in the army service corps. He
tried to get in with the active fighting
units but was rejected on account Of
eye trouble. But he is determined to
be Of some active service to the cause
of the Allies and is going back for
another examination.

POLITICAL RUMOR
BUSY With YARN
ABOUT JOHN Wise

Political TumCr was busy today, as
an election aftermath, with the story
that John H. Wise not only did a good
deal to help the cause Of Joe Fern
for mayor, but is seriously consider
ing aligning himself with the Demo
cratic party. The basis Of the rumor
could not be learned, but Wise was
generally credited with having done
nothing to help the cause of his fellow
Republican, John Lane, in the race for
mayor, and it was said that Wise
is still bitter over his defeat in the
primaries for the Republican sheriff
nomination.
Another rumor in political circles Is
that Jesse Uluihi, defeated Bourbon
candidate for supervisor, may land the
job which Joe Fern leaves to step into
the mayors office, namely that Of city
jailer. Uluihi wants the job, it is de-
clared, and Link McCandless would
be likely to help get it for him.
William Miles, who was Ferns sec
rotary when Fern was mayor, is ex-
rected to be his secretary again if
he wants the job, but many say that
Billy" is kept busy with private az
fairs and does not seek the secretary
ship.

3 MAGISTRATES
STAY IN OFFICE

Philip Pail, H. E. Palakiko and JOS
eph Anjo, three district magistrates
on the Island OF Maui whose appoint
ments were unccnfirmed by vote of
the territorial senate early last month
will remain in office until their re.
spective terms expire.
According to the opinion Of the at
torney general the three men must
remain in office for The two years
of their terms, and Governor Pinkham
is practically powerless to expeI them.
The attorney genera! holds relative
to district magistrates said the gov
ernor today, that they retain their
position for two years from date OF
commission. Hence these three Maui
magistrates will legally hold their
places so long as they properly PEE
form their functions"
All three terms are to expire in
1918; Palis on April l, Palakiko 8
on July l and AMOS on August 80.
On the closing night of the legiS-
lature Maui senators moved against
confirming the appointments # these
three, the senate carrying the vari
Gus motions.

Complete figures on the military reg,

received thus far only from Vermont,
Delaware and the District of Colum-

states are too scant to base upon
them an accurate estimate of the total

May q says that the general opinion
Of attorneys in that city was that it
is not against the law to sell to a
civilian who is accompanied by a SOL
der or an officer. II this view is
upheld, treating" a soldier or officer
Is allowable.
The law, furthermore, does not ap-
ply to the sale OF liquor to sailors Of
the U. S. navy, according to a state
ment in the Star.
THE prohibition against the sale
to men in uniforms applies only, thus
far, to the army, no enactment hav.
ing been passed with reference to the
naval forces. In several of the local
clubs, it is stated, the naval officers
helped their army friends out of their
predicament by serving as hosts and
purchasing the cup that cheers for
army officers"

SALOONKEEPERS WARNED NOT TO
SELL LIQUOR TO UNIFORMED men

Huber says he is uncertain as to
whether the Hawaii guard is now il
the national service, and does not
think that tho law would apply until
the guard actually is in such service,
when it would become a part of the
federal troops.
OF course there Is a sort Of fed
eral supervision at all times he adds,
but that is not what is meant in this
particular instance
That bartelders and other dealers
In liquor must obey the lay, as there
are absolutely no loopholes yet
brought to light, is the opinion Of the
district attorney He adds, however,
that this law, the same as all other
laws, is subject to the Interpretation
Of the courts.
But it looks to me like a very we'll
drawn statute" he says
AS the new law does not make it
an offehse to give" liquor to the slip
ulated persons, Attorney Huber is OF
the opinion that 1t was not the intent
Of congress to carry the statute to
the extreme by including sociable
drinking.
The penalty for violating any Of the
provisions Of the section relating to
the sale of liquor Is heavy. 1t pro.
vides q fine OF not more than $1,000
or Imprisonment tor.not more than IL
months, or both.

private home and be given liquor, he
secures the liquor lawfully because
no sale has been made For the same
reason, he says. the host cannot be
held liable under the new law.
One question which has been raised
with regard to the new law is whe-
Their the sale Of liquor to an army or
navy man not in uniform is a viola
ton. The district attorney holds 1t
Is not violation If the man is not in
uniform.
In this respect, however, he points
out that the only time an enlisted man
Is allowed to wear civilian clothing Is
when he is given special permission
by his superior officer ON some spe-
cial occasion. Another point raised
Is that a bartender, selling liquor to
a soldier in civilian clothes would not
likely know that the purchaser was a
soldier
This new law is to be enforced
just the same as any other federal
law" says Attorney Huber. 1T stands
LII HO uIlleTcuI SITUATION Iudu any
other law. 1t is just a plan law, moth.
ing more, and must be obeyed and
enforced"
Naval officers and men ashore,
says Huber, wear the uniform of the
United States and the new law ap-
plies to them as we'll as to soldiers
and sailors stationed on land. The
language of the law is members OF
the United States forces" and the
district attorney holds that the navy
is included In this term.
May Not Affect Hawaii Guard
AS regards members of the Nation.
al Guard coming within the provisions
Of the law, the Q. S. attorney says
this would depend on whether the
guard was in the national service and
under the direct orders of the presi,
dent as executive head Of the army.
Il do not believe the law would ap,
ply to the national guardsmen under
other conditions" says Huber, and
the guardsmen are required to wear
the uniform only on certain occa.
sionS."

lose heavily, and some Of them will
probably be forced out Of business.
IAN Interpretation by government
officials of the mo liquor provision
of the military draft law made yester-
day rules that no alcoholic beverage
may be sold or given to any member
of the armed forces of the country.
This is held to apply both to officers
and privates. Ae the wording OF the
measure specifically refers to selling
liquor, it was believed in some quar-
tiers that the giving away of liquor or
treating did not come within the
meaning of the draft provision. Unit
ed States District Attorney Marshall
after discussing this feature with At
torney-General Gregory, over the tele-
phone to Washington, announced:
Amy attempt at technical evasion
OF the military prohibition Law, will be
met with immediate prosecution. The
words selling and serving are held
to be synonymous "Mr. Marshall
added that the same application would
apply in all cases similar to that Of
buying or giving liquor to q minor or
q child"
Then follows a quotation Of that sec
ton Of the law which gives the presi-
dent discretion for its enforcement at
any place.
For the first time in years sailors
in Brooklyn were unable to get liquors
at any place within miles of the navy
yard. AS officers and enlisted men in
all branches of the service are requir-
ed to wear service uniforms on all
occasions, there is no way for them to
evade the law. 1t is expected, how
ever. that there may be some viola
tons, as, for instance, where civilians
may buy bottles Of liquors and secretly
hand the contents over to the uniform
ed men"

serve officers may come within the
scope Of the new anti-liquor-selling
provisions was the gist Of opinions Of
