Armed ShipS

DRESlDENT WILSON'S decision TO arm
such merchant ships Of the United States
as plan TO traverse Germany's so-called
barred zones" is the course The Times
Dispatch has urged him to take and has eN-
pocted him to take lie exercises in this
matter the authority confidcd to him by the
Constitution and which no law on the statute
books justly can be held TO circumscribe.
1t is proper also that Congress is to he
called into session TO give the Presidents
action the express sanction Of all the elected
representatives OF this people. Moral sup
port Of Congress the President already has.
because only about score OF Senators and
Representatives opposed the armed-ship reso-
lutions When Congress assemblies on April
Ii. it will be prepared to act
The course the President has decided mean
time to follow is the course that national
honor babe him pursue 1t was impossible
that this great nation should make further
concessions TO German Arrogance. The de-
sire OF both President and people to avoid
entrance into the war and to restore peace
10 the world has been exhibited too frequently
and verified too completely to be the subject
of fair argument.
When we arm our ships. we do indicate our
purpose to protect on the high seas the rights
which international law confers and for
which. from the very day of its establishment
amid the fires of revolution. this country has
contendcd. We do not challenge Germany;
we do not declare on Germany: we do
not invite Il combat; merely register our
refusal TO recognize the preposterous claims
Germany has made.
The Times Dispatch finds satisfaction in
the reflection that it was one Of the first news
papers in the country. after the discovery Of
the old antipiracy law of $40 had cast some
doubt on the Presidents authority, to insist
that this authority had not been impaired
There never was real doubt. as we pointed
out last Tuesday. of the right to arm the
ships; the one doubt is to what extent in
what manner. and against what objects this
armament may be employed" Discussing

Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-08-18

The corrosion of metal part on or
about a storage battery is often at
tributed to a leaky or defective bat
terry. That this is usually due to the
splitting or overlooking of battery So
luton and the neglect of the motor
list it keeps the exterior of the bat
terry we'll cleaned is explained by q
Prest-O-Lite battery service expert.
"The corrosion Of metal parts about
a battery, indicated by white lead
sulphate coating, is caused by the
action of escaped battery solution
which eats into the metal.
Under ordinary driving conditions
the charging of the battery by the
generator causes more or less bat
terry solution to vaporize through the
vent holes in the filler caps of the
battery cells. This vapor condenses
on the battery and to prevent cor
rosion of the handles, hold-downs and
other metal parts and damage of the
battery box it is essential that the
exterior of the battery be cleaned off
regularly so that the acid cannot get
in its work. This should be done
with clean, moist sponge whenever
the battery Is inspected or distilled

DICK BODICE TAKES CHANDLER CAR up
STEEP HILLS At FOUR MILE SPEED
Proves Concsvey That Portland Story About Chandler Car

at HonouIu-Car Averages 1-2 Miles Per Hour on High
Gear Over Longest Hills in Vicinity

Dick Dodge read In the Chandler
Bulletin, an automobile publicity mag.
azine put out by the Chandler Motor
Car Co., that two Chandler cars went
up Portland, oregon's, longest, steep
est hill, known as Demonstration
HILL" at a speed Of less than four
miles an hour in high gear. There
were pictures accompanying the story
Of this unusual performance Of the
two cars and the private owners.
Some Of Mr.. Bodge's friends asked
him about this story and attempted 10
kid him about it. AS q result a
Chandler "Chummy' roadster was
driven down to Pearl City Junction
and from there started back to Homo
lulu In high gear. The car left Pearl
City Junction at 1880 p. m. and
reached the top Of Moanalua Hill at
1926. The car was in high gear the
entire trip, and aveaged a little over
four and one-haH miles per hour. The
majority of the time it ran under four
miles an hour but on the steep hills
it was forced TO pick up to five and
a half and six. This car came up
Waiou Hill at a speed between three
and a half and four miles an hour in
high gear. 1t came up the steep grade
near Aiea Plantation at the speed
bordering between five and six and a

proved by the war department the
truck makers Of the country have
agreed voluntarily to cooperate with
the war department In carrying
through a continuing standardized
truck-buildfng program for the re-
.quirements Of the American Army.
The Columbus meeting was attended
by fully 1000 representatives of the

the committee, insures the organized
assistance of the country's truck
makers in providing an ample sup

For Immediate service in France,
the government either already has or.
dered or will place orders In the

American firms are now building.
