BRUSSELS AWAITS
PRESIDENT WILSON
Belgians Plan to Guido
Even Paris in its
Welcome
REMEMBER FAVORS
TO NATIONS ARMY

N. z. A Special TO The Evening Jsurnal.
BRUSSELS, Jan. 23s-The big four in
Belgium are King Albert, Whiuock,
Hoover and Wilson.
Il Is no slight TO other allied nations
10 point out that three OF the four
are Americans because everybody knows
how the Belgian people were pulled
from starvation by the American peo-
ple-and nobody's appreciation OF IL Is
keener than that OF Belgium herself.
Whitlock, Hoover and Wilson repre-
sent America 10 the Belglans-but that
isn't all. Whitlock was there when the
Germans came In and he stayed there
until all the work he could do had
been done. He shared Belgian's risks
-he stuck with them. They remember
that and they love Whitlock. He was
almost mobbed when he was discov-
cred quietly slipping into Brussels after
the armistlce, In a big U. S. army car
q day before even King Albert entered.
And Hoover-his name Is a charm
with the Belgians. II there's anything
that can be done on earth, Hoover can
do it So any Belgian will tell you. He
Is the super-doerl Why. he actually or
ganized a big nation TO keep a little
one from starvingi
Whltlock and Hooveri The day the
Daily q correspondent arrived in
Brussels he stopped a Belgian In the
street and asked him where Brand
Vhitlock lived. Il was "out OF hours"
In the ministry. which the Belgians
hope, incidentally, will soon be made
an embassy with Brand Whitlock as
ambassador for life.
That Belgian didn't tell him the way
he showed him. Whitlock had been
back IN Belgium only short time but
there weren't a hundred BelHans In
town who didn't know where he lived.
Belgian soldiers tell how in addition
10 their rations, In addition 70 the food
Americans were sending 10 the Belgians
At home, the men at the front contin-
ually got packages OF cigarets and
sweets throughout the war until the
Americans arrived in France. when, OF
course, the packages were sent 10 the
American soldiers.
The Stars and Stripes is the Tag most
In evidence after the Belgian-some-
times II has five red stripes and four
white ones and sometimes eight red
and seven white.
But that only shows that IL was not
bought but made by the hands OF some
body who loved America and intended
to show IL despite lack Of spare money
10 buy a store nag.
There IS a special American court In
the famous Brussels Hotel de Vile. It
Is lust inside the central entrance. Moth
ing hangs there but the American colors.
Not even the Belgians' own nag. There
is red,white and blue bunting. There
are shields, fags and banners-a little
corner in the heart Of all Belgium espe-
cially set aside to do honor to Bel
GUMS friend across the sea.
As for Wilson-this is confidential,
hush-hush. you know. TO America. Did
YOU think Wilson got a reception in
Paris? SO he did And in London?
Yes. the members Of the party couldn't
decide which was more enthusiastic,
Paris or London.

u. S. FLAG ON
HUN WATCH FOB
By WEBB MILLER.
United press stan Correspondent

United Press stan Correspondent.
AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN
GERMANY, Jan. 22.-Delayed) The
American flag has been submitted to
the ultimate in insults.
Coblenz dealers have been discovered
selling watch fobs made Of iron crosses
on which were replicas Of American
flags. Army officials connscated all
these stocks and are seeking the manu-
facturer. One retailer has been arrested.
A widespread rumor among the Ger
mans that German girls who fratern-
lied with American troops had been
forced to polish soldiers shoes in pub
lie, has been traced TO the fact that
German opened shine parlor and en-
ployed girls. Inasmuch as public shoe
shining is uncommon in Europe, towns
people assumed the girls were being
punished.

NO PREFERENCE
To BALLPLAYERS
All of Them Must Await
Discharge as Other
Soldiers
SETBACK TO THE
BIG LEAGUES

The major leagues have met with
another big setback. They have sud
denly discovered that they may be
forced to start the 1919 season without
the services Of many star players now
In Uncle Sans service. Such diamond
notables as Hank GowdY Christy
Mathewson, iris Speaker, Sherrod
Smith, Benny Kaun, Leon Galore, Bill
Kopf and others too numerous to men,
tion will likely be missing when the
curtain goes Up.
President Ban Johnson, Of the Ameri-
can League, while in Washington en-
deavoring 10 get players out Of the
army in time for spring training and
preparation for the coming season, has
been as much as told that no prefer
ence will be shown the soldier or
sailor ballplayers. In other words, he
has learned that there viii be no
change in the policy OF the War De-
partment not 10 Issue a special order
in favor OF ballplayers, but 10 treat
them as all other soldiers ars treated
and leave 70 10 their immediate COM
manders to pass upon their applica-
tons for discharge. There Is Just one
chance in favor Of getting the ball
players out before the rest, however
Since the league players have their
places waiting for them they fall
within the class Of soldiers command
ing officers have been authorized 10
discharge without delay where military
efficiency would not be injured by that
action.
Johnson was in Washington yester-
day with a list Of players in the ser
vice and the War Department officials
undertook to looate the men FOR him
In order that the clubs may arrange to
have them fle application for dis
charge. Johnson was in conference
with General March, chief Of stan. and
1t was then that Il came out that ball
players win be given no preference
over other soldiers.

"But in honoring you, Your Eminence.

and civil life"
In speaking Of the close friendship
which existed between Cardinal Gibbons
and the late Archbishop Ireland Mgr.
Gerretti said.
III the Archbishop Of the West had
been spared he would have rejoiced 10
be here today, and he also would re-
joice were he with us today. Especially
would we all have reioiced IN the near
future-this ! may say without indis-
cretlon-when the great Archbishop Ire

so highly, would also have received the
highest distinction within the power Of
the sovereign pontiff 10 bestow.
I'VE are gathered together In a his
torio moment for America The eyes
OF the world are turned with hope and
confidence toward this great republic.
Your great President Wilson has enun-
olated 10 the world the highest and the
noblest principles OF humanity; he has
proclaimed In the most eloquent terms
the spirit and nobility OF American man
hood.
"And we are indeed gratifed 10 know
that those great principles which the
American people love, those principles
which President Wilson has never
ceased 10 expound, 10 develop and 10
apply according as the events OF the
gigantic worlds struggle have evolved
we are gratlned 10 know, say, are
based upon the general outlines already
traced by the Holy Father during IN,
critical period OF the war.
at Is well known what the Hoi,
Father proposed for the restoration 4
the world OF a just and lasting peace
that peace for which he. together with
the whole church. has prayed so fer
vently.
1T was in particular these four points,
that the right Of might should give
way 10 the might OF right. that the Just
aspirations Of nationalltles should be
satisfied, that no nation should be sub
iugated by another. because nations do
not die; that there should be a gen
eral disarmament OF nations and an In
ternatlonal court OF arbitration estab-
lished."

Hoppe DICTATOR
OF BILLIARD WORLD
American Cue Artist Has
Counterpart in Roberts,
Britisher
ALWAYS MUST HAVE
THEIR OWN WAY

The position Of dictator Of the Amer
lean professional billiard world as
sumed by William Hoppe interests fol-
lowers Of the cue game in this country
They ind numerous counterparts Of the
Hoppe situation in the billiard history
OF England. The Daily Mail says;
'aThe dictator Of the billiard world,
Ike the poor, Is always with US" might
have been written before the war.
Now however. there are no poor, II
we except a few sporting Journalists
but there IS a billiard dictator, ana 3
mighty man he is.
Billiard dictatorship is by no means
a new cult arising out OF the changed
condition OF the universe. As a matteT
OF fact it was in vogue before the
Crimean war.
Old John Roberts father OF the great
John) was the 1rst OF the line wheh
he assumed the championship mantle
in 1850, and the two ofices nave been
combined ever since.
He dictated terms for twenty years
during the boyhood Of Cook, who was
not q when he defeated Roberts in 1879.
Cook had no time TO dictate, for he
was soon beaten by the younger John,
and for the next fifteen years the do
tatorship remained in abeyance. Cook,
Roberts and Joe Bennett having enough
10 do TO keep each other out Of the
championship title without insisting
upon terms.
The year 1885 saw both Cook and
Bennett wiped out by Roberts, who
thereupon became superdictator.
He dictated to the players, the gov
erning body. the trade and the press.
Adverse comment on Roberts at one
time meant the offending paper being
barred from representation at the
Egyptian Hail.
One wonders what would happen to-
day II a professional entertainer, rely
ing upon the press TO the extent that
billiard players do, attempted any such
foolish procedure.
To the end Of his brilliant career
Roberts never played a match unless
the terms were to his liking and in his
last match Of importance, Stevenson,
then a better player, had to take 1000
start in 1900.
The result is that Roberts can claim
today that he has never been beaten
level by any man living.
Dawson, who succeeded Roberts as
champion, took over the accompanying
position, but Stevenson downed him too
quickly for him TO get a firm footing.
Stevenson likewise did not slant out
alone long enough 10 grasp the real sig
ni1cance Of the position, but Inman,
with six years championship honors on
his shoulders, although, as Reese says,
five have been on sufferance, IS now
giving out the orders.

The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1919-08-22
n FIASCO and n PROMISE

Once more the people of Maui suffered and this time suffered in
darkness because the Island Electric Company has not a sufficient
equipment to take care of emergencies Waikiki and Kahutui were
plunged into darkness for the entire evening last Sunday night when
the one Diesel engine with which the Company furnishes power to this
end OF the island lost its compressed air and was unable to start. All
OF which was unfortunate, and decidedly inconvenient, although Maui
IS thankful 1t did not happen on a weekday and tie up business.
For MANY months there has been dissatisfaction expressed over
the service of the Island Electric Company, but according to officials
ct the Company, the poor service has been unavoidable because there
has been a extra load to carry. Such service they aver will not be
given much longer, for the Company has ordered another Diesel engine,
under rush orders and this engine, making allowances for poor shipping
facilities, should be on its way to Maui by November IS.
OF course it has been hard for the residents of Maui to be unable
to read at night on account of poor lights, and the lighting in the movie
theater is admittedly poor, but The Island Electric Company asks The
News to remind the community that at the time when other communities
in the Territory were suffering from loss of electric light due to storms,
The Island Electric Company kept up its service, and although the
equipment is admittedly inadequate at the present time they are doing
their best to improve It, and are waiting now only upon shipments before
starting Improvements.
The officials admit that the public patience has been sorely tried
and that Sunday nights fiasco was almost the breaking point, but they
ask a little more patience.
There have been many kicks by patrons, and this paper has kicked
TOO, but since the Island Electric Company declares its intention of inn
proving its equipment and has set the wheels in motion toward the full
hllment of this much to be desired contamination, let us await events
and pray for quick shipments and competent mechanics.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1919-08-22
BIG NEWS

The most potent and tremendous piece of news given out to the
public in a long time was contained in an Associated Press dispatch
4 few days ago. The item in question is as follows:
"LONDON. August l4-(AssoCated Prcss)-The house Of COM
mons, after a heated debate. yesterday adopted an amendment to the
act against prohteering, empowering the board of trade, after conduct
ing Investigations to fix wholesale and retail prices.
Opposition to the measure was led by Evelyn Cecil, member of
parliament, who declared that the plan adopted would revohuionize
trade, not only at home but abroad
If such a measure as that introduced in the House of Commons
means anything it means that England is about to take her first step
IN the naturalization of industry, and that the bill in question and the
powers given under it are preliminary to the ultimate governmental
ownership of all the national resources, utilities, foodstufs, raw. ma
lerial and finished product-n other words, to the institution of what
practically amounts to a socaisic form of government.
In this connection it must be remembered that the Labor party
IS in overwhelming control in the House of Commons and has succeed
ed within the past few years in bringing about many startling reforms
on behalf of the working classes among which might be mentioned a
siXhour day in all the English shipyards, as well as in some other
trades, with a maximum working day of eight hours in all trades
government life insurance and od-age pensions; land purchase bills
that really mean, by their favorable terms, the giving away of the land
house purchase bills for city folk, enabling almost anyone to own his
own home, IS well as a mass of other legislation OF a similar nature.
To offset the advantage of wealth, England many years ago pass
ed a graduated income tax, making the burden of taxation fall upon
those most able to bear it. Indeed, the life of the rich man and of
the titled nobility in England has within recent years become SO
strenuous and uncomfortable as to cause many of the wealthy ones to
realize on their investments and get out of the country.
Yes, indeed, it looks like specialization of the English government,
and that right now. But the question that will mos interest us here
in America is, what effect will the British example hav- upJn the Am
crican people? America apparently is driving towards the same goal
as that to which England has enthusiastically it NAV be, but none the
less surely. The workers OF England years ago came to realize that
in the ballot they had the one instrument whereby they could make their
own laws to suit themselves. Over there government OF the people,
by the people, for the people" really means what is says; here the
motto is a CHASTITY joke.
Think over this latest piece of news from England if appearances
are not decenul it is the beginning Of a social revolution, not alone for
England, but for the rest of the void as wel-New Freedom.
