No Second Place for United States.
When He Changed His Mind.

Representative Kelly of Michigan
asked the Secretary when he first
came to the conclusion that America
should have a navy second to none in
the world.
"I came to that conclusion when the
war broke out was the reply. Until
that time believed that the work
ing people, who suffer most from
wars, and bankers and business men,
who pay for wars, should be consid-
cred before the militarists. But when
1 realized that the militarists of
another nation might plunge the
world into war at their will, I real
lied I was wrong. Unless we have a
navy which can lick any other navy
in the world we may as well have
none"

Mr.. DANIELS WANTS
j. S. NAVY BIGGEST
Would Suspend Construction
When League of Nations
Is Formed.
HIS VIEWS ARE CHANGED

Appropriation of S600,000.000 for a
continuance of the three-year naval
building program, with provision for
suspension of construction at the or
der of the President when interna-
tional agreement is made for reduc-
ton of armament, was urged by Sec
rotary Daniels on the House naval
committee yesterday.
Secretary Daniels said If league
of nations were organized the United
States should be prepared to contrib
uate as large unfit as any other ma
ton to an international police force,
and that without an international
agreement for reduction of arma-
ments the American policy of naval
expansion should be continued indefi-
nitely.
For Navy as Police Force.
Mr. Daniels told the committee he
stood by the recommendations in his
annual report, which emphasized that
navies still would be needed as an
international police force. and that,
being the richest of nations. the
United States must make contribu-
ton to preserve the peace of the
world commensurate with it's wealth.
The new six-hundred-million dollar
three-year building program would
provide 156 additional naval ships,
ten of them dreadnaughts, and six
battle cruisers.
Secretary Daniels said it was i'm
perative that there be no depression
from the country's policy of naval ex-
panSion.
Assuming that the peace confer
ence will give birth to a league of
nations with power to enforce a deci-
sion once made" he said. 'it must be
realized that tremendous police
force will be necessary. This police
force must of necessity be largely
naval, as no other force could be mo-
bile to- the necessary degree. A police
force which could not travel around
the world rapidly would be worthless.
No Second Place for United States.
eff such a police force is decided
upon the United States will be NOR
ally compelled to contribute as large
a unit as that contributed by any
other nation. Because of our great
wealth in money and supplies other
nations would consider US unworthy
if we did not give our share. 1t
would be contrary to all of our ideals
to take a second place in an under
taking designed to assure the future
security of freedom and democracy"
States, having pledged it's support to
small nations, should build Nevy
second to none in the world, If an in
ternational tribunal with power to
enforce it's rulings failed to become
reality"

Why arc we making these low prices

needs for cotton and cotton goods today
are greater than ever in the hiStor, Of the

closed on July and by F. B. Came
ron, inspector on Maui for the U. S.

his license will be taken from him
and he will be compelled to go out
of business.
This is the first instance on Maui

Auto Wrecked Riders
Have Narrow Escape

One of the most complete automo-
bile wrecked in months occurred last
Saturday night on the beach road,
just west of Kahului, and three oc-
cupants of the car escaped serious
accident as by a miracle.
The machine belongs to L. M. Bald
win, county treasurer, who is away
on his vacation on the mainland. 1t
was driven by Ernest Baldwin, his
son, and in it were also DR.. Boote
and a recent arrival in Maui named
Smith. The car was proceeding to-
wards Kahului at a rapid clip when it
left the road and turned over time
or two. Three wheels We're smash
ed, as We're top, windshield, tenders,
and other parts.
Young Baldwin sustained a cut sl
the head, but his two passengers were
unhurt.
In police court on Tuesday Bald
win was given a suspended sentence
for 13 months and his license revok-
ed. He is in the draft and leaves with
the contingent sailing tomorrow

Raymond May Make
Campaign Warm
Honolulu Politicians Trying To Decide
Effect OF Maui Mans Entrance
General Belief He Is Formidable
To All Other Candidates

The announcement of DR.. ]. H. Ray
mond that he will be in the race this
year for the delegateship has created
quite a stir in political circles in both
parties. The Advertiser has the fol-
lowing to say in connection with the
Mnui medicos candidacy:
Dr.. j. H. Raymond of Maui in con-
frn,ing the announcement that he
will be a candidate for the Office of
Ge lePate to congress, says that he will
make the race as an Independent
candidate, and not as Democrat. In
connection with this announcement it
is held that Doctor Raymond is so
well known as a Democrat that he
will be considered such by many and
his support will come very largely
from that party, which, the political
wiseacres think, will further reduce
the vote which Link McCandless
might expect should be decide to run
again.

Maui May Have New
Guard Companies
New Fifth Regiment Being Organized
To Take Place OF Those In Service
Recruiting Already Started In
Honolulu And HilO

Col. Will Wayne, adjutant general
of the national guard, has written to
a number of persons on Maui on the
question of organizing here of two
companies of the new guard regiment
which is now being organized. The
regiment is intended to take the place
of the guard regiments now in fed
eral service.
1T is proposed in the not distant
future" Col. Wayne says, to organize
two companies of the new 5th Regi-
ment, national guard of Hawaii, on
the island of Maui The present de-
sire, and l trust there will be no need
to switch, is to recruit a regiment
throughout the territory which will
be of a much higher plane than any
thing we have before had.
I'VE are trying to hold very close
to the educational tests of reading
and writing. We are also particular
on the physical end, although our
losses in the two regiments that have
gone are much lower than those ex-
perienced in the mainland guard or
ganizations, I am informed"
p Recruiting for the new regiment is
well under way at the present time
in Honolulu and Hilo. Col. Wayne
states that it is not considered prob
able that the new regiment will be
called into service unless an emerg-
ency should arise that might call out
every able-bodied citizen in the terri
tory.
If the two proposed Maui companies
are organized it will need seven
officers-2 captains, first lieutenants
2 second lieutenants, and one physi-
clan with rank of list lieutenant.

FOURTH OF JULY
PICNIC AT WAIHEE

The young people of the Wailuku
japanese Christian Endeavor and
their invited guests enjoyed a very
jolly Fourth of July at Waihee beach
yesterday. A party of more than 20
gathered at the church at noon and
We're conveyed by automobiles to DR..
Osmers' cottage at the beach.
Games We're planned for the first
part of the afternoon but a sight of
the water quite overcame any thought
of games. After several hours of
swimming and water sports, a bounti-
full, war lunch was served. Everyone
found it hard to realize that Food
Conservation laws can work hardship
anywhere, as long as huge, luscious
Haiku pineapples are to he had.
After lunch the usual lazy fun was
enjoyed. ukuleles and war songs oc-
cupied nearly an hour. The postpon-
ed games then came in for their fair
attention, and everyone was sorry
when the automobiles arrived inter
Iupting a jolly game of "three-deep."
Back to the church the whole party
came, declaring everyone of them that
there could never be a jollier Fourth
than theirs had been.
