This is the first of a series of
letters from HdW1ii from G. A.
Lyon, associate editor OF The
Star, Uho is spending a winter
Ducdtion in the islands.
When the world to the east is in
turmoil, immediate and prospective,
with a general war dangerous pos
sjbility, there is one place to which
the vacation planner may turn his
eyes with confidence that the scene
there will be peaceful. That is
Hawaii. For, short of general con-
f1ict, involving every nation, those
blessed isles are certain of immunity
from the disturbing and dangerous
factors of international politics and
strife.
That is why I chose Hawaii as my
own objective when, a few weeks ago,
the opportunity came for departure
from Washington for a period. Not
unless the United States were di-
rectly embroiled in an international
disputation would Hawaii become
engaged in the conflict. The sea
lane from San Francisco to Honolulu
would be as safe as any in strictly
domestic waters.
But apart from such considera-
tions, there is good reason to visit
Hawaii, especially good reason for
American citizens living on the
mainland to visit it, to become ac-
quainted with their brethren half
way overseas. Indeed. there are
several good. reasons for doing so.
In the first place, Hawaii is beau
tiful to the eye. It is a land of
fragrance. It is land of variety,
natural and human.
Believing Only in Seeing.
There is one danger in any at
tempt to set forth the various charms
OF Hawaii, that of enthusiasm, which
may lead to skepticism on the part
OF whoever may read the panegyrics.
For, in fact, Hawaii must be seen to
be believed. The musical speech of
the people must be heard to be cred
ited. The cliffs and peaks and rock
walls, the sea shores and the clouds,
the foliage and the glories of color
ing, the harmonies of landscaping
and architecture-all these to be ap-
preciated must be viewed, not in a
swift passing glance of hasty tour
ing, but in a leisurely study in keep
ing with the placid life of the land.
On the ship on which we came
out were some passengers who were
merely making the round trip, with
about "a hours in Honolulu and the
nearby scene. And doubtless on the
ship which arrived this morning and
which will sail eastward tomorrow
were others intent upon doing"
Honolulu and some of the Island of
Oahu within the same span of a
single day. Probably necessity COM
pels such brief visits. The victims
Of that necessity are therefore more
to be pitied than censured. For they
will miss great deal.
In the native language of the
Hawaiians-and 1t is a lovely Ian
guage, soft and musical in keeping
with the general landscape-there is
a word for newcomer" or stranger.
1t is "malihini" 1t is never used as
term of reproach. For the Hawaiians,
fully appreciative as they are of the
beauties of their land, want all the

SHUDDERING WHILE
GERMAN MOBILIZATION IS
ON FULL WARTIME BASIS

Gray-clad troops marched along
"nvisible roads" on Belgian from
tiers. Anti-aircratt batteries fired
along the Rhineland facing
France.
Normal civilian life was OBJ
secured by the discipline imposed
when a nation is at war.
Although government spokes-
men discounted the descriptions
of the test mobilization, more
than one million men are being
brought into the field. There was
evidence that highly mobile forces
of the Reich are on the march to
demonstrate their speed.

lines of men under arms, l8-year-

Never in peacetime has Europe
seen such show of armed

there were shudders of alarm.

The agricultural department last
night announced plans for the
1889 A Agricultural Adjustment ad-

gate between $750,000,000 and
81 ,000,000,000.

The chief executive headed Il

Of passage of the social security
act. He eXtolled the measure as
stepping stone along Il frontier
that remains unconquered-"the
frontier of insecurity, human
want, and fear"-and said sig
nificantly:
These accomplishments of three
years are impressive, yet we
should not be unduly proud of
them. Our government in fulfill
ing an obvious obligation to the
citizens Of the country has been
doing SO only because the citizens
require action from their reprsen-
tatives. If the people, during these
years, had chosen reactionary
administration or do nothing
congress, social security would
still be in the conversational
stage-a beautiful dream which
might come true in the dim dis
tant future"
He paid tribute to Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins and

1884 studied social security prob
lens and named four legislators
"who have had long and distin-
guished careers in public service.
