WE ARE AT WAR.

Uncle Sans action in taking over the two biggest
Matson liners-the Matsona and Maui-dr1Ves
home TO Hawaii the fact that our nation Is in war
10 vie which community interest must be su6ordln
ated to national interest.
1t is a hard blow to island commerce, particular
" with large amount Of sugar awaiting shipment
But if the government will allow the use OF the selz
ed German ships the situation will be bettered Ger
tainly the liners cannot be taken away without
some compensation. Hawaiis sugar is needed as
badly in the markets of the Allies as HAWAII SHIPS
are needed in the government service.
With the communicating of these vessels, there
will probably be an agitation for suspending the
coastwise law to allow foreign vessels to carry pas
sengers between Hawaii and mainland ports. This
is a proposal which has rightly been opposed, and
it should not again be entertained until it is certain
that the passenger traffic will suffer acue1y from
lsck of domestic accommodations.

LACKS IN Merit

Several hundred persons attended
the Festival of Pele at the Old Plan
tation on King street last night and
went away with rather an empty feel
ing after paying so cents admission
and lesser prices for lesser features
1t is understood that work will com
mence soon now to clear away the
remains Of what constituted an excel
lent carnival parade but made a poor
background for circus several
months afterwards
Although Alexander Hume Ford
Gordon osborne, the boy scouts, Miss
Helen Alexander and numerous others
did some hard work to make the car
nival a bowling success it was i'm
possible to get up - first-rate carnival
upon such short notice with so little
material
Scouts on every side last night an
nounced dances-it seemed there was
fantastic orgy everywhere-and
ballyhoos were loud in their cajola'
tons on all sides. but there was little
real entertainment outside of the Ha
wafian band, plenty Of lemonade and
the volcano, to be mad.
Those who promised attractions
hidden behind hastily erected walls
did so in a half-heaIted way that did
not tend to arouse the crowd to en-,
thusiasm.
Boys dressed as devils furnished a
little excitement when they sought
out placarded pests such as Booze
and Graft and Microbes from the
crowd and hurled them down into the
everlasting fires Of the volcano, and
the ancient dress IS Of number OF
comely Hawaiian girls afforded pref
ty sight but with the exception OF
meeting, circus style, with friends for
4 chat, there was little to do.
The crowd vas disappointed that
the Samoan dance was not staged,
but the southern islanders were I'M
able to attend owing TO departing
vessel.

SPANS OPPOSING FACTIONS.

B SPANS cabinet troubles, which have figured a
good deal in recent dispatches. are due mainly to
the hitter struggle in Alfonso's kingdom between
the proGerman and pro Entente parties. The latter
seems to have popular support, much as in Greece
but cannot win marked ascendancy with the king
Count Romanones, former premier, is looked upon
as the leader of the anti Germans though he insists
that what he does is inspired not so much by hos
tllity toward Berlin as by anxiety to see his own
country in the right course.
Senior Garcia Prieto, the premier whose resigna-
ton has just been made public, was greeted with
jubilation by the pro-Germans on his accession to
ONCE but the kaisersts rather waned in enthusiasm
when Prieto declared himself the friend of England
and France.
he delicately limited that circumstances might so
develop that he might be obliged to 60 to the Cortes
for mandate for new and frmer policy. The pro-
Entente journals having made a point of the fact
that the new premie1 was member of the govern
ments that made the agreements with England and
France, Senior Garcia Prieto said II am the same
man that was yesterday and always. remain the
same man that was when in 1904 ! was a member
of the government that inaugurated the policy of
rapprochement between Spain and France; l am the
same man who in 1910 signed the Franco Spanish
treaty on Morocco. My ideas on the subject of in
ternational policy with regard to my country have
not varied"
While Germany is using every device of diplomacy
to keep from break with Spain, the U-boat raids
are almost intolerabe to Madrid as to Christia-
mia, Norway. Each sinking of Spanish vessel is
greeted with general excavations by the Spanish
people, and no cabinet which does not take firm
attitude toward Berlin is likely to last.

RAPID NAVAL ENLIsTMENTs.

Gable orders received here for the naval authorl'
ties to discontinue recruiting except for two speclal
classes-machinists and electricans-emphaslze
the rapidity with which Uncle Sans navy has late
ly been filling up.
AT the end of May, announcement was made in
Washington that within the past few months a
naval reserve of about % OG0whch is half as large
in numbers as the regular navy was year ago

young Americans. $685.. j..
The growth of the naval reserve has been featured
nv the acceptance of many women Honolulu en-
listed woman as yeoman weeks ago. The num-
Der now in the navy is approximately 800
At the last complete report 19,S47 men and 10
women had been enlisted and about $500 officers en-
rolled and the new enlistments in the last III days
make the total about $4,000. This force includes
the feet naval reserve, the naval reserve the naval
auxiliary reserve the naval reserve flying corps the
volunteer naval reserve the naval coast defense
serve, and the~women enlisted for special duty
The largest number Of enlistments are in the first
and third districts, with headquarters at Boston
and New York, respectively with each about 42oO;
the second Newport, r. i, shows a total Of $500;
the fourth, Philadelphia, 2500, and the fifth, Nor
folk, $4,000. These figures are approximate, based
on the returns up to the end of May.
Hundreds Of sailors fishermen and seafaring men

Most Of the men in the reserve would be required
for the coast patrol fleet, which includes mine
sweepers, minelayers, submarine chasers, patrol
boats Of various classes, and which will embrace
hundreds of vessels required for coast defense. In
addition, the reserve will furnish men for guard
duty at navy yards magazine, storehouses and other
points and for the crews of. merchantmen taken
over by the government.
Nearly all the 725 women enlisted are engaged in
clerical duties and rank as yeomen. ~
