McADOO, ORATOR.

William g. McAdoo secretary Of the treasury,
is a great fnancier and one who in vision ap-
proaches the statesmen.
BE is not usually thought of also as a speaker of
eloquence and power. Whether he is such speak
er may safely be left with the reader upon a
perusal of the following extract from his Liberty
Loan address at Des Moines, Iowa, recently
II like to feel, my friends, when think about
this war, that it is the only kind of war in which
this great republic could afford to engage We
would not 60 into any war for material ends. We
would rot lift finger to take one square inch of
the soil of any other nation upon the face of the
earth. We do not seek to make subject any other
races upon the face of the earth. We do not want
any indemnities or any compensation for what we
do in this war. We are fighting for an ideal,
which is the only thing that makes any nation
great whether it has material resources or not be-
cause any nation with material resources and no
ideals will in time become the prey of the con-
queror. We do not intend to be drawn at the
chariot wheels of any military autocrats, as poor
stricken, bleeding Belgium has been for the past
three years. and as horribly devastated Serbia has
been for the same time. We intend to assert the
power of free America with such effect upon these
battle fronts in Europe that it won't be long before
the slaughter of all kinds of human beings will be
stopped.
"And when America sits at that council table of
peace and that is of the things about this war
that is such a noble and inspiring thing, thing
upon which like to let my imagination dwell
when America SITS at that council Of the great ma
tions she must bear upon her brow the crown of
Justice the crown of disinterestedness and in her
eyes must shine the clear light of liberty and love
for humanity; she must seek nothing for herself;
she must use her benevolent powers for the purpose
of seeing that even as between these beIligerents
enemies and friends alike justice is done that the
bases of peace shall be founded upon fair adjust
ment of all of the complex questions involved; that
no cancerous sores shall be left to tester and dis
turb the peace of the world in the future; that all
may have the assurance that, because the treaty
based upon justice the new peace may for centuries
survive with pregnant blessings to mankindw

Russia'S Colossal Task

Russias new offensive in Galica is spectacular
to the point of sensatonalism but it is almost too
much to hope that the Slavs continue winning
victories from the Germans and Austrians
The world knows that a month ago Russia s
army had gone to pieces; the Enthusiastically ne
cessary in modern war-had broken down; the gov,
eminent was chaotic almost the point of anarchy {;
and the soldiers were leaving the trenches with no
body in authority to order them back.
Miracles of reorganization in Russia may take
place, but not overnight No earthly power in a
month in three can rebuild the Russian rail
roads; supply them with thousand locomotives
and 10000 coaches; man them with engineers, fire
men and train-crews; and fill the coaches, freight
and passenger with munitions, foods and men going
to the front.
The best that can be hoped of Russia is that her
leaders and fighters will heroicaly struggle against
odds to keep up show of offense the eastern
front and make it necessary for Russia and Aus
tria to hold large bodies of troops there. That will
relieve the strain on the Allies in the west and al
low Italy to continue the drive to Trieste; perhaps
even give chance for an effective French and Eng
lish offensive in Macedonia particularly now that
Greece is ready to aid the Allies in military way
If Germany can detach troops from the west, we
may expect to hear of a sudden smash at Riga, or
along the Stripa river, or somewhere else on the
front, in which the alarmed and iloffcered Rus
slams will suffer tremendous losses That will mean
that Germany has flung few divisions, perhaps
not more than two, across Belgium and Germany
and up to the Russian front to deliver thunder
bolt in the hope of crushing any more Slav ad-
vances for the summer.
American engineers are laboring at the mighty
task of reconstructing Russian railroads, even as
the American mission is laboring to help rebuild
the government Their task is colossal and it is
too much to hope that Russia will be serious mill
tary factor for the next six months

fee them to do so. Others 60 because they lack
manliness; because congenitally they are crayens.
The persons who are fleeing are of wellto-do or
wealthy families The government has a pretty
problem in the question as to the handling of these
deserters.
Are they to be permitted to dodge? Are they to
remain in foreign land until the war ends and
then return and enjoy the rights of American citi
renships
The wcpld-be skulker who has not money enough
to seek asylum elsewhere has no escape. He must
refister and serve if he is called, or 60 to jail
In fairness to those who do not run away why
not put brand on the rich renegades?
In war there is no crime that ranks much higher
than that of desertion. The men who are fleeing
are Deserving America. This country would not be
doing its duty to the patriotic and the brave who
are ready to make any sacrifice for the nation if
premium is to. be put on cowardice.
The renegades should never be permitted to re
turn. Desertion should bring exile.

STAR-BULLEIIN
THANKED FOR AID
in HILO SUCCESS

How the Star Bulletin helped make
the Hilo Fourth Of July excursion q
success is told in an appreciative let.
ter from L. w. de Vis-Norton, Hawaii
publicity commissioner. He wrote the
following Just before going to the
Crescent City for the Fourth Of July
doings:
Il cannot leave by the boat for Hilo
today without trying to express my
deep appreciation of the manner in
which the Star Bulletin has helped in
making this years Fourth Of July ex.
cursion to Hilo a real hummer.
THE steamer last Saturday went
out booked absolutely full, and this
afternoons boat is loaded to the
standing room only limit. I think
that nearly 500 people will be going
over to the Crescent City for the fes.
tivities, and the bookings are so far
in excess of those Of last year that
comparison is hardly even worth
while.
Most especially am / indebted to
the efforts Of Owen Merrick Of your
staff, to whose personal exertions and
interest much of the success Of this
years excursion Is due. He certainly
knows how to stir up enthusiasm in
the sporting element, and I do not
know what should have done with
out him.
1T says much for the popularity of
your paper that such splendid results
should attend its publication Of news,
and / am keenly appreciative Of the
kindness 1t has. always exhibited
towards my little efforts for Hilo, the
best little city of them all"

CERTAIN NAME IN MAYOR J. J
FERNS APPOINTMENT Is NOT
RIGHT

That is, the name Of Robert Hoapili
Baker in the place Of band leader, not
right, and because, not enough. r.
Hoapin Baker cannot write q single
band music of his own knowledge OF
the high class, as Professor Kalani
Peters music now being played by
the band at present. Not by all
means, who was the one that recon-
mended this name, r. Hoapili Baker,
as band leader, with all these incom-
petencies? . ~ a
am very much In surprise, Mayor

name of r. Hoapili Baker, unfit,
knows not how to wf1te and compose
music, as leader Of this blow horn"

Our Hawaiian band Is q very re-
nown organization under the leader

the past two years and more; and
the famous music composed by Ka-
shores; such an honor Ii proper, be-
cause he knows how, and is ready to
compose music; together with GER
tain other qualifications Is able to
lead this great work. =s
II 1t is possible for Your Honor,
Mayor J. J. Fern, to invite one Of the
band leaders Of Saint Louis College
as a person to question r. Hoapili
Bakers ableness to compose music
and other qualifications for this work,
so only shall you know the fitness and
unfitness of the name Of r. HoapiH
Baker as a leader for the band Of the
city and county of Honolulu.
You must remember, Your Honor,
that this Is not a personal spite, but
to warn you from your being talked Of
for the man you have chosen as lead
er for the band, or at the time when q
lady of a gentleman shah come to
have hers or his music arranged for
the band to play.
What? Is 1T a sound policy for you,
Mayor ]. J. Fern, for r. Hoapii ,Ba-
ker to depend on Captain H. Berger
to arrange his music and other music
that will be given to him for arrange

be led? He viii be only q baton
beaten and Captain H. Berger shall

hold Kalani Peter where he is now
