slice of his frontal bone was removed
leaving an ugly cavity on the side of
the head. protected only by a thin
skin. Had the blow landed on that
part of the head, Januario would have
been dead man by now and Fran

Red Cross Notes

The work OF the Koloa school child
rem for the Red Cross has come to our
notice as distinctively deserving of
appreciation, being unusually credit
able for workers so young.

Unit, cOntributary to the Kauai Auxi.

cessful.
The children's efforts are confined
mostly, in this section, to knitting,
and they are turning out monthly a
goodly number of articles such as
sweaters, service socks, wristlets, bed
socks. wash cloths. The more able
knitters have now progressed onto
service socks, those being considered
the most difficult to knit perfectly, and
the work they are doing is quite equal
to that of adults.
Those in charge are most gratified
at results, as 1t shows what children
can do when their energies are di-
rected along useful lines and the ex.
ample set by the Koloa children is
well worthy Of emulation by the other
schools of Kauai.
We are glad to see this useful art
of our grandmothers revived once
more for 1t means not alone much
needed assistance to the Red Cross,
but will prove of great value after the
war in providing warm articles in the
homes.
The Woman's Bureau, Territorial
Insular and Foreign Division of the
Red Cross, in its January Bulletin,
announces that the demand for knit.

Sweaters; End Socks; 3rd Helmets !;

Sterotyped Peace Talk

ME joint answer to President Wilson
by Germany and Austria Hungary of
the last week invariably suggests stereo-
typed form for all winter peace tenta-
tives by the Central Powers. First, there
is double-edged reply, brusque and un-
compromising on Germany's part, but con-
ciliatory on the part of Austria-Hungary.
Good form requires immediate Allied re-
actions to the effect that Germany talks
like a victor, while within the Central
Powers are heard loud murmurings to tho
effect that the reply again defers the day
of peace. Some such expression as "the
door is locked to peace" is next to be ex-
pected from some member of the Entente,
with the added information that the peace
terms are just bluff to cover new drive.
The Allies then gather in serious confer
ence, simultaneously planning the spring
drive and possible rejoinder, holding the
inadequacy Of the enemy's terms self
evident.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-03

These views range widely, however. To
"The Springfield Republican" "thc reply
is crushing" For
"unless ones mind is hopclcsslv biassed
against the Secretary the President or Is
obsessed with ulterior purposes whose pro-
motion calls for the Secretarys downfall it
must be recognized that the achievement al
ready bulks so large to make the mistakes
and failures Of the department seem by
comparison of minor Importance in the rec
ord. The signs many that the effort to
destroy him is collapsing, as it ought; for
the good of the army and our cause it can
not collapse too soon"

that large part Of the political attack
upon him will now break down" The
address had the effect "of clinching the
nails of the Senate Committee and MAX
ing the position Of the War Department

timore American" "Confirmed critics of
the War Department were given a salu-
tary JOLT" is "The New York Worlds" tri-
umphant comment. Such expressions as
"vindicated," "the very best possible un-
der the circumstances, 'evidence of a
reaction against the extremist view rep
resented by Chamberlain, Roosevelt and
Others" and the admission of "The New
York Times" that, while the statement
Of Mr. Baker may be vulnerable to anal
ysis, as brief it was ''adroit and brill
iant'-these and the comment in general
of special correspondents from Washing
ton would indicate that Secretary Baker
has won by his defence very large fol
lowing.
Moreover, journals which severely ar
raiened him following his first appear
ance before the Senate Military Affairs
Committee join with others in comment
ing favorably on the Secretary's changed
attitude on the stand.

lief of many of the critics of the Admin
istraton. A representative view from
paper not unfriendly to the President will
show how strongly the country reacted to
the speech. "The Indianapolis News" for
example, says:

the United States who has recently spoken
in commentator of the Secretary of War
can read the speech of Senator Chamberlain,
delivered in the Senate yesterday, withou.

Enemies Within

to hinder the United States-or the Allies
in their fight against Germany. The
news of the week is remarkable for the
infinite variety of the blossomngs OF
war-preparations sabotage. Brooklyn hears

is interned as an alien enemy. Five SOL
diers at Camp Upton are held at Ellis
Island for spreading discomfort among
their fellows.
Indeed, even the Boy Scout books are
found to be canoufaged by German
propaganda. German agents are reported
applying for permits to install new neu
trail insurance companies in this country.
The code message sent from Germany
urging publication of a warning against
embarking on the Lusitania is made pub

a member of the American Defence Soci-
ETY. is called up for examination when he
tells of the execution of fourteen spies, Of
ammunition still being shipped from this
country to Germany.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-03

To these favorable views one might add
that of Mr. p. w. Wilson, of "The Lon
don Daily News" defending Secretary
Baker as the victim not Of one set of ''eS-
perts," but Of three:
"He has, first Of all, his own oficals-meH
Of great ability and persuasiveness, whose
opinion cannot be lightly ovcrruled. Next
there is the French War Office with its Off
cials. And finally there is what we in Eng
Land reverence Whitehall Without dis
rcsrect to theology, ! may suggest that to
evoke unity out of such trinity is no mean
task Two partners out Of the three arc To-
Gated at a distance of 5000 miles"
But Secretary Baker by no means sat
ishcd another section of the press In
deed, the view that the Secretary scored
success is fatty controverted. "The i'm
preston given" says "The New Haven
Register" "is the same one of indefinite
ness" which characterized his previous
testimony. The point is strongly made
that, while Mr.. Bakers testimony is in
teresting, it is merely means of dodg
ing the issue.
"Mr. Baker has filed his brief The

other side is to be heard" agrees "The
New York Times" All that the Secre-
tary did, in the opinion Of The New York
Tribune, was to put himself on trial and
thereby confuse the issue. "The conduct
of the war is on trial. That is by way of
being forgotten in the sensation of Mr..
Bakers achievement on the brazier"
TO these unfriendly views one must add
many comments on the appointment of
Mr. Stettinius. Without exception this
appointment is applauded, but the con-
gratulations end with the view of many
like Mr.. Herbert Bayard Swope, writing
to "The New York World" that this ap-
pontment "is believed to be the Admins
tration's answer to the demand for a di-
rector of munitions" Doubt is frankly
expressed regarding Mr.. Stettinius' pow

Coal and Transportation

PY ALL outward signs, the combined
- coal-and-railway situation, which Di-
rector Garfield's five-day closing order
showed to be one and the same, haa
grown worse during the last week. There
is, indeed, peculiar significance in the use
of battleships to break the ice before coal
harges along the Atlantic coast, while
river steamboats, are crushed and sunk in
the Middle West by unprecedented ice
foes.
Climax follows climax The second
keatless Monday finds New York's coal
situation even more critical. Freight will
not be clear Of blockade until March Is,
it is now predicted. This can be easily
believed by remembering that Chicago has
seen four tremendous snowstorms since
New Years Even the names of mans
puny devices to defeat the work of the
elements help indicate the weeks develop
ments in the fight against cold and stag
r.ation in transportation The seven "coai
zones" established, the sport dictator"
urged for New York, the "coal poor' to
assist in supplying New York City, and
the list of industries exempted" from
