KUHIO ROAD Bill
lsNOT ARMY PLAN

Delegate J.K. Kalanianaoie's bill,
introduced In Washington last month
and calling for belt road around the
island. Is not any part Of the plan Of
the army engineers, according to Off
GERS Of the Hawaiian department
It was said today at headquarters
that Kuhio Is evidently working upon
q separate scheme from that which
the army Is considering, but evidently
along the same lines as he introduced
in Congress last, winter.
II will be remembered that at that
session the war department recon-
mended an. appropriation for q milf
tary road, provided the army be al
lowed to use the money for such
parts Of the island as It deemed
necessary from q military standpoint
It Is quite likely that the present bill
will find some such reception as did
the former one, providing It gets as
far as the war department for recon-
mendation.

Admitting freely that there has been

to the Allies In supplying war muni-
lions, and most important Of all con.

He was asked II the presidents re-
cent peace suggestions had imperilled
the position of this country for media

have not.

of the president by the Allies. who

The Allies are now beginning to.

He tells Interestingly Of the organi-

carrying on the war indefinitely. Aus

extent.
Mr.. Nielsen says there is no danger
Of British coal embargo cutting Ha-I

but doubts II there win be any tighten

as the conditions in the colonies make

He also expresses the opinion that
the failure Of the conscription bill
to carry on referendum vote win
not greatly lessen the number Of men

In sum, he takes decidedly opti-

The Costly German Counter Stroke.

The great battle of Arras, begun by
the British some days ago in an effort
to drive the Germans back to, if not be-
yond, the new switch" line from Queant
to Drocourt, has entered upon an unex-
pected stage. The Germans, striking of
fensively for the first time in months on
the western front, have massed immense
numbers of reserves and undertaken not
only to hold the British advance, but to
recapture ground recently taken. The
official reports indicate that the first of
these objects has been obtained. while the
second has failed. The British advance
has been checked, but the Germans have
not recovered any of the important po-
sitions lately lost by them. As an of
fensive the German attack fell short of
accomplishment. It remains to be seen
whether it was an effective defense. For
according to the British reports the Ger
man losses in the first three days have
been enormous, owing to the close
formations adopted in the open field
fighting. It is believed in London that
this desperate endeavor to break the

Bad Taste With the Flag.

Patriotic demonstration is appearing in
many forms, and some of them are ex-
tremely foolish. For instance. in New
York the latest idea is to paste miniature
American flags on the points of "wing''
collars, where they arc strikingly in evil
dence. This is in extremely bad taste.
1t is making the flag personal adorn-
ment, of very questionable effectiveness.
If it is desired to "show the colors" let
them be worn in small form in the but
tonhole of the coat, miniature flag or
a small knot of tri-color ribbon. The
flag ornamented collar should be
promptly discarded as silly mistake.
and also all other forms of freak flag
use. If any tolerance is given to this
mode of display it will spread. until
such atrocities as flag waistcoats. flag
shoetops and flag stockings appear. True
patriotism really needs no display. It
is in good taste to show the colors and
atrociously bad taste to show them
freakishly.

A Rocky Road.

The ways and means committee re-
ports progress, but slow progress, with
the revenue problem. Members confess
that the road is rocky. 1t is. No leg
islator ever participated in such work
without feeling that he was earning
his salary.
Two things are confessed. A great
deal of money is needed, and there are
many sources of supply. The country
is flush. Money has never before been
so abundant What we need for the
country's sake we can afford to buy, and
can pay for.
But this is speaking in general terms.
Details are not in some instances pleas
ing or assuring. The cost of living is
high. Figures are of record size. In
order to live comfortably, people must
have more money than ever before.
Prices for some things have grown pro-
hibitive. The ordinary table can no
longer be spread with the abundance of
recent days. And even more economy
may have to be practiced.
As people, notwithstanding the pill
ing high of money in the reservoirs, we
have had shock in the threat Of food
shortage; and there is great uneasiness
on that score. Bread cards and meat
less days, imposing the Tightening of
belts, and the skimping of women and
children, would cause an unrest it might
be difficult to handle
Hence the necessity of adjusting the
new taxes with the greatest care. All
classes should be assessed according to
their respective abilities to pay. No
favorites should be played. No "drive"
should be made against any particular
quarter. Taxing thing to death be-
cause easy of reach is never paying
policy in the long run.
And after the committee has disposed
of the problem, first the House and then
the Senate must take it up. Debate will
occur in both bodies. Progress may be
slow in both.
But we shall not see in either body
any unnecessary delay. The country
wants none. All it wants is fair ex-
animation of the separate items of the
measure, with view of putting it into
the best shape possible for the Presi-
dents signature. No time for the final
roll call has been suggested. None could
well be, now. But in good time we shall
have law, and the sort of law must be
left to time to tell. Only time can tell

der responsible chiefs Is not disclosed.
The problems that confront the new
leaders in Russia are extremely difficult,
but there is no distinct sign Of any gen
eral disposition toward peace with Ger
many.
The Russian socialists have evidently
recognized the futility of dealing with
the autocratic government at Berlin
through the medium of the German so
cialists. Germany's object is as plain
as a pikestaff. It is to divide the Rus
sian people. make peace with the i'm
mediately dominant factor and cause
the withdrawal of troops from the
frontier, thereby releasing an immense
number of men and guns for concen-
tration on the western front, where they
are now desperately needed. In short,
Germany wants peace with Russia in
order to smash her present allies. This
done, the plight of Russia would be pitt
able. She would be at the mercy thence
no scruples against her ultimate de-
struction. No treaty of peace could be
relied upon to spare her any humilia
tion Germany might plan to visit upon
her.
The United States, participant in the
world war, observes the development of
the Russian situation with the keenest
interest and concern. 1t has welcomed
the new Russian democracy ard wishes
for it prosperous career, with an early
peace, but not a peace that endangers
the forces now allied against Prussian
autocracy. Russia is in effect an ally
of the United States, and the spectacle
of separate peace between that conn
try and Germany would be viewed by
the American people as disaster.
