on the organism. The best known eff

creased blood supply to the brain. Cof-
fee is stim9lant and the habitual use
of any stimulant is not the best habit.
The result of the habitual stimulating
of the brain, by the active principle of
coffee or any other drug, is nervous
ness. The nervousness is manifested in
different ways.
The coffee habit is acquired by slow
growth. It's evil consequences are hid

heightens the danger. The heart and
the stomach are often affected by eof

cause, "adds fuel to the fames' by

A. W. Nicely Sees
Blue Shark Off
Makapuu Point

How many people in Honolulu ever
saw blue shark? A. w. Nicely.
deputy tax assessor for Oahu and a
veteran fisherman, says that they are
about as scarce as the proverbial blue
moons, but he saw one the other day
on a fishing trip in a Japanese sam
pan.
Nicely says that the blue fellow
came close~so close he could almost
reach out and touch the shiney blue
sides. He swung in by the rudder of
the. sampan, Which Nicely was tend
ing. .,
Blue sharks have teeth that point
back into their mouths, according to
Nicely, and these teeth we're visible
to the fishermen as Mr.. Shark came
sailing by. He showed little fear OF
the men in the boat.
81 have never heard Of more than
one or two blue sharks having been
seen around local places. says Nicely.
II remember having been told by old
kamaainas that they are very scarce.
This one was blue, however, real blue,
as | can prove by the Japanese fisher
man that was with me. We were
anchored about a mile off Makapuu."

TREATIES NOT
PEACE SURETY,
SAYS BRITAIN

tAssociAted Press by F.,iersl wfrelrss)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. is
A note. signed on behalf OF the En-
tente Allies by Arthur J. Balfour. the
British foreign secretary, simplifying
the note Of the Entente sent from
Paris in reply to the peace note OF
President Wilson, was handed yester-
day TO the state department by the
British ambassador. Sir Cecil Spring.
Rice.
The new note. which deals more
specifically with the suggestion of the
president that a worlds league to en-,
force peace should he formed at the
conclusion OF the war. takes the posi-,
ton that mere international treaties
will guarantee nothing so long as
there exists a Germany which exalts
might over right and which refuses to
be bound by its own solemnly en-
tered into conventions and agree
mentS.
Treaties No Security
Those who think that the worlds
peace is to be insured through inter,
national treaties have I'll learned the
1t ssons taught by recent history" says
the British note, relative to the sug-
gestion by the president that peace
may be nearer than We suppose"
Continuing, Mr.. Balfour wrote: So
long as Germany remains the Ger.
many which overran and barbarousfy
ill-treated the country it was specifi'
cally pledged TO defend there can be
no security placed in the German
agreement Of peace.
While Germany shows this callous
disregard for her treaties, no state
and no regard for right can be sc.
cured without some better protection
than a treaty, however solemnly en-
tered into"
The note asserts that Belgium is
not the only victim of the German
reign of terror, which is the German
method of making war.
Britain Desires Peace
Great Britain, says the British for
eign secretary, desires peace, but it
does not believe that any peace Sc
cured at the present time would be
durable peace unless the aggressive
aims of the Central Powers can be
called into disrepute among their own
people and unless unrest may be re-
moved or materially weakened.
