LETTERS
OF THE SOLDIER IN
WAR TIME

Editor Star-Bulletin, Honolulu, H. T
Sir: Often has it been written OF
the soldier that he is possessed of the
Devil, creature void of intellect, to
be Stunned, maltreated, and numer.
GUS other indignities showered upon
by a populace both civil and uncivil
high and low, it makes no difference
they must assert themselves to such
an extent as to produce in the soldier
natural contempt for anything sug'
gestive of reformation and moraliza
ton, the which appears ridiculously
incompatible to a profession which
teaches stern military discipline,
which teaches how to Illustrate the
Vaccinations of an enemy, which
teaches justice as well as other civ
ilized methods which is unknown
among our enemies of the Entente.
That such things are taught the
American soldier will be demonstrat.
ed in the near future; so where is
the logic of filling him up with lot
of bunk-Sunday bunk-whicn makes
just as much impression As DO the
yarns of old Mother Hubbard. The
day is coming very soon when the
psychology Of the soldier will change
to such an extent as to produce in
him some of the above qualities. that
he will be possessed of the Devil
when he's after KAISER Bill" and his
bunch will be devilish sight to be-
hold, that he will possess intellect will
also be shown to the disadvantage of
his enemy.
1t is true that the soldier in time
OF war seeks to enjoy during The
brief existence} which he thinks is
allotted to him the sights of annihila-
ton. He may overstep the bounds of
improperly by consciously stepping a
little too rough on his enemies toes,
for such conduct we cry the paci-
fists mercy, he may in his lust for
victory by defeating the ruthless
Amelikites be guilty of dropping a
profane word or two (Himmels)-ne
excitement, be guilty of using the
butt of his rifle in saving your moth
ers, your sisters, from the Kiss Of
Moloch for which again we cry the
pacifists' mercy, the Socialists par.
don, the anti-drafters' forgiveness and,
above all, those poor pro-Germanists
and l. w. VS. will they ever forgive
US? r."
Here's youtr war soldier, SO don't
fuss about him; he will save you at
the proper time. Meantime. we ask
of you to let US alone; we are capable
of accomplishing our own salvation,
come veal or woe-the old saying
keep your foot on the soft, soft
pedal, and don't talk too loud"

STUDYING THE STARS.

In the neighborhood of twenty-five or thirty years
ago the Lick telescope, at that tine the largest in
the world, and given by the millionaire James Lick
Of San Jose, was placed in commission on Mount
Hamilton, dome-shaped mountain of the coast
range hills This instrument, with lens of about
four inches thick was considered almost worlds
wonder, and the first peep through its refractor
was recorded in every city of the world But that
which was paramount wonder yesterday is a back
number and almost out of date today.
At Mount Wilson, in California there is now be-
ing mounted another "largest telescope in the
world" The lens of this new refractor is Is inches
thick, and when ready for stars that are now
three and four times distant beyond the power of
modern telescopes will be revealed to the man with
his eye at the peep" of the Mount Wilson refractor
1t is believed that this new telescope will prob
ably make possible the study of stars whose light
travelling at a rate of $4,000 miles second re-
quires 10000 years to reach the earth. 1t must
certainly be agreed that these luminaries are a
fright smart distance from this footstool. lit
tie calculation shows that these stars are in the
neighborhood of s,312 900 miles distant
in the seemingly blue ether. With the new tee-
scope it is claimed that such stars will be clearly
visible
Astrologers and certain promoters of isms for
the DeneHt oI tnose VINO WOULD DE acquainted WIN
their astral selves aim to demonstrate that indivi-
duals this earth are Influenced by certain stars
of certain consultations. When this is given deep
study there appears to be truth in the theory
and in this way one may understand the awful
darkness that surrounds some people. 1t is prob
able that their ruling star is one of those whose
light requires millions of years to reach them, and
if they live long enough they will probably see the
light. They might hurry this expected occasion by
taking peep through the big refractor.

EDITOR
Risen From the Ranks

| Every American enjoys special thrill when he
learns that the man at the head Of an army or an
enterprise, Of the country itself, comes under
the classification of those risen fro11 the ranks
1t is source of pride that in our c,untry oppor-
| tunity is open for every man in any direction he
MAY select. Where and when the man will arrive
depends the man and not upon caste or custom
or autocratic barrier. For this reason much salts
faction is experienced reads locally of the
splendid men in the regular army who have won
commissions and their way up after giving
years of loyal service in the ranks.
just attention is centered on our forces in
France, and it is pleasing to know that General
Pershings right-hand man, his chief of staff, came
up from the ranks Col. Hartford wanted to 90 to
West Point, but failed to secure the coveted APP
pointment He had graduated with honOrs from
the Kansas agricultural college, had lived on a farm
and knew how to work. His typical American
pluck was shown when he enlisted with the an
nounced intention of winning his way through the
ranks.
How we'll Col. Harbord has made good his prom
Use is in ,icaed by his selection by Gen. Pershing
for the great adventure in France. And the ro-
nance of this true story is satisfied by the fact that
Leut.-Col. Claude b. Sweezy, who won the West
Point appointment, is good officer in all respects,
but twelve numbers below the farmer boy risen
from the ranks.
Instances of this character in various activities
Of our military, industrial and commercial life are
not uncommon Col. Harbord and those with him
are fighting today that the youth of tomorrow may
have the same freedom of opportunity that he en-
joyed.
1t is important that we should dwell on these
facts and recall that in pledgng ourselves to sup
port the faith of our fathers we are guaranteeing
a more magnificent heritage to our children.

Shipping Board In Action

The news that shipping rates on the Auanuc
Ocean are to i've reduced is long overdue This is
one problem that it expected the shipping
board would attend to early in it's career. NOR
1nnatcIy the first head of the board, Mr.. Denman,
was too preoccupied with his wooden boat scheme
to give the proper amount of attention to the adj
ministrative side Of his department. The abuses
of the shipping situation have long called for some
form of settlement Too many millOnaires have
been made out Of INDECENT owners Of waterogged
schoOners
1t is Inferred that the whole plan of insurance for
shipping and the charering OF vessels for hazardous
service has been settled upon. We now look
forward to a speedy solution of the shipping tange
That Hawaii will share in the sacrifices through
having it's fastest vessels ultimately taken off the
run we may be assured The need for fast bottoms
is pressing. In fact there have been too man. in
stances of sailing vessels being sent into the sub
marine infested waters, where they stood next to
no chance of surviving because of real scarcity of
tonnage. This is a circumstance that would never
have been permitted had the details of the shipping
situation been in hand
The powers of the board are very great far great
er than any that the interstate commerce commits
sion ever held over the railroads Every ship I'M
der American registry is subject to its orders. In
time of war the business of ocean freighting as
sumes public character and it is the shipping
boards duty to administer it as any other public
utility should be administered.
Great things are expected of Chairman Hurley's
incumbency of office. He has been forced to build
his organization from the ground up, there being
yery little left from what his predecessor had &C
complished that he has been able to utilize

NATIoNALIzING RAILROAD MANAGEMENT

One Of the most efficient Of the many volunteer
organizations now serving the country at Washing
tion is the railway committee of the advisory coun
Gil with President Willard of the Baltimore Ohio
road at its head. T.. T..
Before the United States entered the war there
was already serious shortage of freign. cars and
locomotives. This shortage was one thing to which
the pro. Germans of the country smilngly drew at
tention when war talk first became general. They
were sure that it was impossible for the United
States to do anything further in the cause Of the
allies But this group of trained railroad have
given marvellous exhibition of efficiency in the
time they have been at the head of transportation.
1t is asserted by men who have an intimate ac-
quaintance with the conditions of the country that
never were ship transportation needs more prompt
ly and adequately cared for than they are today.
When troops are to be moved the trains are at hand
When environments are to be built the materials are
on the ground as soon as they are required. There
is practically no delay among the war industries
owing to lack of fuel or supplies
No coercive powers are vested in the committee.
Being trained railroad men they know exactly what
procedure to take in order that tranoads of gravel
or watermeons shall not be given the right of way
over war supplies. The long lines of congested
freight cars that lay in railroad yards all the
United States have quickly found their way back
into service. Other railroad men gladly accept
their advice.
The ineffciency of management of many of the
railroads has been swept away before the trained
analysis of these able men, That the whole railroad
situation in the United States after the war will be
the better for the gratuitous service which Mr.. Will
lard and his committeeman have rendered it there
cannot be particle of doubt.

"Young and giddy women need not apply. Only
mature women with high ideals are wanted" This
from one of the secretaries of the War Mothers
League of America puts in nutshell the qualifca-
tions necessary for those who may be of some real
value in solving the Whatto-do with thes soldier
problem. When women enter upon this work, its
can be assured through the exercise of self
respect, selfcontrol and large measure of woman
ly common sense This secretary also says that the
experienced ones tell her that the mental attitude
of the soldier changes materially after some good
woman writes him kindly encouraging patriotic
letter and follows it up with little attention The
boy no longer feels that he is giving up his life for
country in which no one cares for him. He feels
there is one heart that will sympathize with him,
that will care when he is wounded and sorrow if
he has made the supreme sacrifice for his country
