that effect. Now the facts are that
the world is full of men in the me-
chanical and engineering world, who
are capable and efficient, and yet
never saw the inside of a college as
a student. Thomas Edison did not
even have a common school educa-
ton. The fact that a man is a grad
uate from some institution and has
been awarded a degree in engineer
ing does not of itself mean that he
Is either capable or efficient, or that
he can build roads. God Almighty
gave some men less ability for road
making than he gave the tumble-bug,
and all the colleges In the world can't
supply what the Creator denied. The
real reason why the present incum-
bent-at least 50 it appears to me-
has given the public to understand
that the man appointed to the posi-
ion Of city engineer should be a
graduate engineer, is because John
Wilson, the man named for the po-
sition by the mayor 10 not a graduate
engineer.
As to the statements made editor
tally in the daily press, no open at
tack has been made on the qualifica-
tons of Wilson, yet the thought is
continually conveyed to the public,
by innuendo, that Wilson Is not COM
petent TOR the position. At least
from reading the daily press arrived
at the conclusion that Wilson was
not a qualified, capable, competent
man for the position. That is, until
I discussed the matter with certain
engineers connected with the depart
ment Of public works Of the territory
and found out to the contrary.
Those men, and they know or should
know-informed me that Wilson knew
road building from A to 2, and that

Help to Save Bread

Mr. Hoover SAYS. Every ounce Of waste we elm
mate in food is just as much contribution to the
joint cause as that of man in the trenches"
This sentence from Mr.. Hoovers appeal to the
nation for conservation of food contains thought
for everyone and applies especially to the wide
spread waste in bread because Of the false idea that
one-day or twoday-od bread is stale bread" No
greater delusion ever existed for bread one, two,
or even three days od-if properly kept-has just
as much food value and is just sweet, wholesome
and satisfactory as the day it left the oven. Ath-
letes and men in training for various severe ply
steal tasks are invariably fed day old bread. Per
sons suffering from digestive troubles and convale-
scents are always given dayold bread in plain or
toasted form. Physicians unit in indorsing it,
"The Council of National Defense calls on every
housewife to edo her bit' by eliminating the waste
in bread and wishes you to help conserve the ma
tons food by ordering your daily bread supply one
day in advance, policy which will aid the dealer
to avoid having bread left over on his hands at
night and result in conserving million of bushels
of wheat for the nations armies and people.
Your support to this patriotic plan for food con-
seryation is earnestly requested and by anticipat
ing your family bread requirements as described,
you can give practical help without personal in
convenience to yourself. Your advance bread order
will enable the dealer to order just what bread he
quires for his trade the baker will know just how
much to bake you will be Of fresh bread every
day and have the satisfaction Of knowing you are
Hdoing your bit" to help the government.

The Engineer and Partizans

1t is quite natural that the question should be
asked whether the opposition to John Wilson for
city engineer is on account Of his being Democrat.
What the position of the supervisors may be, this
paper is not able to state though we doubt that the
politics of Mr.. Wilson is the controlling factor
Mr. Wilson is a road builder. He is not man
ager. The status of Mr.. Wilson is not unlike that
of the former engineer, Whitehouse. No one ques-
tons that Mr. Whftehouse is a road builder. He
was not a success as city engineer with broad ad-
ministrative and organizing responsibilities.
Some of our citizens are prompt to claim that
what we want in the Office Of city engineer is road
builder There they stop And there they indi-
cate that they are still in the small town class.
HOnolulu's city engineer, if he is to properly fill
the post must be more than road builder. He
must have capacity for management and organiza-
ton, and finally he must possess the independence
of character that will place him above the petty
squabbles of factional and partizan politics.
This paper does not understand that Mr.. Wilson
is ruled out of the graduate engineer class. His
failure to graduate from the institution where he
gained his technical training has adverse hear
ing on his present qualifications assuming that his
inability to graduate was not due to lack of mental
capacity when studying and solving engineering
problems.
1t is obvious that some Of our citizens, including
today's correspondent who is clearly factional
partizan, do not appreciate the magnitude of the
engineering enterprise that the city of Honolulu
has in prospect They do not grasp the fact that
Honolulu is a growing city that calls for men of
vision and recognized ability for handling large
projects
Finally, all too many have yet to bring into the
working scheme of their daily lives the spirit of the
presidents message to his fellow Americans en-
gagged in the great enterprise of the nation:
"In it no man can win honor who thinks only
of himself"

APPOINTMENT OF A CITY

Editor Star.Bulletin,
Sir: have read with much inter
est the comments, editorial and other
wise, that have appeared in the Star
Bulletin anent the appointment VI q
city engineer. That capable and eff

CARELESS of party affiliations, is mat
ter that l think is self evident, and is
conceded by every honest-thinking cit
izen. But after reading all that the
daily press of Honolulu has published
concerning the matter there still turks
in my mind a doubt as to whether
ability and efficiency are the only
prerequisites that the daily press and
the solid five supervisors require in
the man whom they desire appointed
to the position of city engineer.
On the face of the matter, it looks
to me as though lot Of dust was
being kicked up in order to hide the
true issue. For example, the present
incumbent Of the office, and who is
about to resign, enumerates the quail
fications that his successor should
have. He says that it is essential
that the man appointed have college

Red Cross Advertising

Red Cross advertising in which the Trent Trust
Company has pioneered in Honolulu, follows what
has become known throughout the mainland as the
t'Chicago plan"
Chicago merchants first recognized that to secure
results for the Red Cross campaign there must be
liberal advertising to acquaint the public with the
facts and needs Of this branch of the great cam
paign. They also realized that it would be signaly
unjust and unbusinesslke to ask expect the news
papers to contribute all of this publicity. They
therefore, evolved the scheme of donating certain
percentage of advertising in connection with their
appropriation for Red Cross purposes. The news
papers on their part gave this advertising the ad
vantage of the minimum rate.
The result in Chicago led to the plan being adopt
ed throughout the country. New York merchants
gave hundreds Of pages Of advertising on this basis
Denver and all the other progressive cities that
stood high on the lists of Liberty Bond subscrip-
tions and Red Cross donations took up the idea and
success was their reward.
In some quarters there has been complaint that
the people of Hawaii whole have notrespondedt to
the Red Cross call II this be true the reason for
1t is that hitherto, there has not been an organic
ed businesslike campaign to reach and arouse the
average citizen. ........s"< ..
The Chicago plan of page advertising donations
represents the methods adopted by live men with
modern ideas on business efficiency, men who know
how to reach and arouse the public. It will sue
coed here as it has elsewhere In the United States
for with all its peculiarites this is an American
community.

TREAsONABLE AGITATORs.

Thirty-two alleged I. w. w. agitators are report

weeks previously been taken by communities in
other Pacific states under the lead, or with the co
operation, of police and fire officials. "The itera

The conclusion of the army officials on the rela-
tons of Captain Ludy to the Berg case fettle the
subject so far as the army and Capt. Ludy are
concerned If the police and prosecuting authori-
ties of this city and county assume that their work
has been completed it will be evidence sufficient for
the public to be fully convinced of what has long
been felt as true Of that department OF the local
government. 1t should not be assumed that the
citizens of Honolulu will allow this case to slide
into the discard unnoticed.

Giving point to the earnest edmonton of many
prominent citizens of the United States, that the
United States has serious stake Of it's own in the
war, is the following conclusion Of one of series
of papers by Captain de la Grange of the French
aviation corps published by the committee on pub
lie information: '"The Intervention Of the United
states in 1918 with great and powerful aviation
fleet would without doubt secure the victory of the
Allies. This would be decisive victo.y-a victory
of democracy over autOcracy. If this victory was
not decisive, the question would be brought up
again in 10 years, and would then probably be
fought out not in Europe but ON the American
soil"

ARE
STILL Showing
Up IN SCORES
Mores Than 80 Persons Have
Been Arrested on Hawaii for
Failing to Register
Special st.r.Bulletin Corro.pond.ne.)

Especial Star-Bulletin CorrSspondence)
HItO, Aug. 13-The list Of those
arrested as slackers continues to grow
until at noon today it had reached
thirty. OF course all these are not
bona fide slackers, many Of them being
up for investigation, and while they
are in Jail with those who are such.
they are simply there until all proof Of
their having registered can be had
by the police department
Sheriff Pua stated this morning that
his Jail is pretty well filled and that
it will soon be necessary to increase
the number OF guards in order to
handle the situation. On being asked
where he expected to find the largest
number of the kind OF game he and
his force are after. replied that North
and South Hilo would undoubtedly
give up the majority Of cases.
So far, about ninety per cent OF
those charged as 'slackers" are
Filipinos. Whether it is from an al
solute defiance that this condition
exists, or a lack of knowledge Of the
laws. it is hard to say. However,
since it is generally known throughout
the Territory, that every national
guard contingency having a Filipino
company, has been remarkable in so
far as the little brown men have ex.
celled in their drills, it can hardly
be conceived that at the test, they
would be found lacking.
1t would, therefore, be more in keep
ing with a suitable generosity to
give them every advantage Of the
doubt until absolutely satisfied that
their intentions were built upon
other motives than lack OF actual
knowledge of what is to be expected
of them.
While many Filipinos coming to
these islands are educated and have
some conception Of the meaning Of
our laws, the majority Of them are
from the dark interior where the
will of the mind was the only law
recognized, and that fact is suffi-
Gent to make a sudden bringing into
light, and that a foreign light, too,
filled with all sorts Of laws that We
ourselves are even puzzled to pro.
perly interpret, staggering to their
unframed mind. They are unac'
customed to the strange land and its
laws, and while there are no doubt
men among them who would wilful
ly avoid going to the front, just as
there are among other nationalities,
there doesn't seem any particular
reason to believe that did they
understand the situation, the per
centage would be any greater among
them than 1t is likely to be among
those Of a higher type Of civilization
The system being followed b.
Sheriff Pua is to have the men ar
rested and taken to jail where they
await a full investigation after
which, if they are found to be free
from suspicion, they are released.
IF work does not increase" said the
sheriff this morning, 81 can handle

1t required many long year of argument and
agitation to bring the Chicago Tribune around to
the point of admitting that there was anything
essentially wrong with the liquor traffic, but it
finally brought around, and now we find it saying
editorially: "The liquor business has been a faith
full ally of every vicious element in American life
it has protected criminals and it has brbed politi
Clans juries and legislatures Each of these counts
in the general indictment of the liquor traffic has

A SONG FESTIVAL.


The Friend cordially Endorses the suggestion of
the ar-Bulletin to make the coming Carnival a
Song Festival. The song features which have been
introduced in former Carnivals have met with
popular approval and in the nature Of the case they
enlist much more general participation Of the
community than pageants which are prepared by a
few people. With our largely mixed population
We may not be able to produce such rare musical
effects as other communities, but by enlisting the
cooperation of all natonalites we are certainly in
position to secure unusual variety. The edueative
value of such festival is a consideration of i'm
portance.
