Just why Judge William L. Whit
ney did not take Honolulu Hale for
use as q Juvenile court building when
he was offered the site four years
ago, Is told by Frank Godfrey; the
oid-time Honolulu newspaper man,
who recently bought the landmark for
$40 at auction.
Fl had my office in the building
when Judge whitney received the Of
fer and came down to investigate II"
said Mr.. Godfrey. Il took him through
the house and into the second story
In the old court room which he was
going to claim for the juvenile court.
THE paper had been ripped off the
ceiling and so much debris was on
the floor that the Judge did not look
upon the place very fayorably. Yet
he needed place for his court so he
insisted upon his half of the building.
I'm the hall the plaster had cracked
and from all appearances the build
ing seemed about to fall apart. But
be did not know that the plaster
was covering q wooden frame. You
see, the building has brick founda-
ton and looks as though it had walls
Of brick
This worried him, however, and 1t
was not until the conversation con-
tinued into the noon hour that the
Judge finally decided that he did not
want the building. At that time there
was usually blasting IN the harbor
where dredging was going on and the
explosions were usually felt in the
lower part Of the city.>
eAs usual the explosions occurred
Just before the lunch hour. We were
still IN the building at that time. The
building shook with the blast, Judge
Whitney gazed up at the crack In the
wall, and he decided then that the
building would not last long enough
under those conditions to serve as
q court room for the juveniles.

Probably not, for most of us don't realize how

so slow in the brief present in which we live. We
ere reminded of it just at this time because fifty

PULLING WOOL OVER OUR EYES.

Far too common for our own good in the trying
months that are surely ahead is the impression
which many have that Germany is on the verge
OF revolution, that her armies are about whipped
and that she will soon sue for peace. We don't
want to fool ourselves with any such notions
Have any of the Allies anywhere been able to &C.
complish, for instance, what Germany and Austria
have done in overrunning Italy?
We forget such instances these, we Ameri-
cans, and nurture spirit Of optimism SO strongly
that those who know are surprised. This was one
Of the first things that impressed DR.. George W..
Grille, who returned the other day after five
months hospital work in France. 1T is only
since arrived in New York that have heard
talk Of the wars early close, was his first com
ment 81 heard no one during my stay over there
express an opinion that the enemy was wavering,
that the imperial power of Germany was weaken
ing, that the Germans were starving talked
with many German prisoners. They were strong,
mature men, well fed and clothed.
That you in this country have more cheerful
view, that you are expecting an early cessation OF
the war, only shows how successful is Germany's
peace offensive against the United States. !"
There you have it-Germany is pulling the wool
over our eyes by methods Of which we will no
doubt be better informed before many weeks pass.
Through quiet, secret propaganda she is develop
ing for her own purposes and designs the thought
in our minds for which we all have the greatest
hope Of course, that the war will be ended soon,
lulling us into sense Of false security, building
up air castles Whyi To slow up our war prep
arations as much as possible, for one thing, to
develop hostility here in the United States against
an extensive war program and the war plans in
general, for another; and most important,
through these to gain time for herself to force
decision before the United States puts its full
strength into the war, as she has boastfully said
many times during the past few months that she
would do.
Are we going to fall for this game any longer?

ton of many of the country's leading
scientists. The discussion will be
opened with a paper by DR.. Henry Fay,
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, which paper was prepared from
a series of tests of metals made at the
Watertown arsenal, and which is one
of the technical papers at the forth
coming convention.
A committee of the Naval Consult

authorities of this city. An expert
menter recently took $50 books from
homes where diptheria had been pre-
valent and IS from a public library
which had circulated them in homes
where sanitary conditions were known
To be bad. The books were swabbed

to gather all the germs off their pages,
