ADVICE ON THE CHICKEN
l.. NUISANCE
Honolulu, T. H., April II, 1917.

Honolulu, Z. H., April II, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star.Bulletin.
Dear Sir: No keeper of poultry can
reasonably expect his neighbors to
furnish pasturage for his birds in the
form of vegetable and flower gardens,
especially at this time when all green
vegetables are extremely high. People
who are prevented from raising a vege.
table or flower garden by the neigh.
bors chickens can very easily get re.
lief by notifying the owners that
their chickens will be killed unless
they are kept at home. OF course this
should not be done unless a request
by the. gardener to ths:owner fails to
bring results. afEI.s Z al 4 ! sfr-I -.- {
II it is necessary to kill. one or two,
and this will probably fbe enough to
convince the owner thatsthe gardener
means business, the birds Should be
thrown into the owners yard. The
police court has clearer at least one
gardener who found it, necessary to
kill one of his neighbe7s chickens IN
order to save his vegetables and flow.
,ers. - as5t - r.. 50 ?.
The gardener wh6 will not do this
much to protect his own property and
is timid about hurting shis neighbors
feelings in asking him TO keep his
poultry at home should not complain.
Very truly YOURS,
SWAT TIE CHICKEN.

that MENAclNe SUBMARINE

Editor Honolulu Star-buIletin,
Sir: Our worst fears concerning the
German submarines were confirmed
by Capt. W. G.lner in Friday morn,
ing's paper.
At first one wonders how in the
name of Hackfeld they got to the Pa
cific, but when one realizes the enorm-
Gus cruising radius OF German sub
mersible il becomes quite feasible.
The sinister designs of the German
imperial staff are Eoy completely laid
bare. .-.-s
Having successfully starved England
into submission, they intend to use
their surplus U-boats in the Pacific
and make Washington come TO terms
by a back-door attack. II Is undoubt.
eddy their aim to paralyze the United
States by completely destroying the
tremendous volume OF shipping at
present plying between Yokohama,
Hawaii and San Francisco.
That the worst is feared may be in
dictated by the fact that marine insur-
ance rates have taken an unpre-
cedented jump Of I per cent and by
the number of people who are fran
tically boarding groceries and sup
plies. ..s..: T.. .s... 49, =.
Meanwhile, let US take consolation
from the reflection that the pro-Ger-
mans in our midst will starve with
US. and should their innocent plight
become known in the Fatherland it
might touch. the heart of the kaiser
with pity and induce him to modify or
abandon his unworthy aims,
Yours truly,

been committed before the merchantmen had occa-
sion To their guns.
What rr0mM happen If the president conrogcd
merchantmen TO the tcGr .OHe!e
This would be a recognition that our merchant
ships needed convoy when as a matter Of right. our
government claims that these ships can go where
they please within the German zone. Besides
this. if Germany really intends to make good her
threat. she would not Hesitate to attack the war
ships as well as their convoy. The only advantage
OF this course would be to make Germany's purpose
unmistakable and her acts rreyOcable.
Why docs not the president tell americans to keep
dtray from the tcdr Sonta
The highways of the governed by the
same traffic laws for Americans for Germans.
Our government need not tell Americans those laws
are being violated the whole world knows that. But
for our government to say that Americans should

laws are being violated would he to acknowledge the
right of the Germans to close those highways. And
that our government could never hOnorably do.
Americans who deliberately 60 into the zone are
taking chances and are reckless in asserting their
rights. but they are Americans none the less and,
as such, possess those rights.

appreciate the wisdom of waging a real war. They
know that a war in which we can most quickly make
Germany feel the full weight of our arm would be al

we could undertake The reverse of such a war, the
limitation OF our naval operations to the mere pc,
