The fuel supply can thusnever be exhausted w long as agriculture makes the earth fruitful. Already an 8,000-ton steamer, operated with Diesel engines, has made a round trip from Lon iion to tne rar hast, in Hawaii engineers whose scientific minds are vivified by imagina tion bxk forward a few years to the time when steam-driven engines will le a curiosity on the Pacific. It is well known here that oil is much used as fuel, some of the Inter-Island vessels be ing driven in this, way, but not on the Diesel principle. The oil here is used to generate steam, the steam being the immediate driving force, whereas the Diesel principle uses oil-burn-tns 'direct. The Hawaiian Engineering Association will hear an address tonight on this remarkable prin ciple and the remarkable man who has brought it. tn intemntional attention. Dr. Diesel. The lecture will be given at 8 oVlocIr tonight at Mc- Kinley high school, by W. J. Dyer, of the Hono lulu iron works. Mr. Dyer recently met ur. Diesel in New York, and has the. most recent in formation on the new engine. "The Star-Bulle tin is f clad to draw public attention to this adr vance along a line exceedingly, important to tbe progress of Hawaii, and ' to emphasize that the address tonight is one of wide interest to the people of this territory, whose prosperity de pends oh efficient sea-transportation. THE MAKING OF THE PRESS Newspapers are what the people nfeke them, in the opinion of Dr. George E. Vincent, presi dent of the University of Minnesota. The fact that Dr.. Vincent used to be a reporter arid for many years taught a course in journalism at the University of Chicago makes his words or more value I than the ordinary attacks en the : press, vvitli which every newspaperman is familiar. Dr. , Vincent has no illusions that the Amer ican press is infallible, He also knows from personal experiericethatf the majority of readers of' any given -paper, -providing that paper is making good?, are being supplied. with the kind of reading tbey waritJTU is simple enough; the paper would not live under contrary circum- stances. :v ' . y.l jAll Jof lusj leads s this' eminent 'educat(r, one of Ameriea'simost brilliant; speakers; and thinks t .say: f.? . : , .;v ;- yy.;-.; f The shortcomings of the press are the prod ucts of our national life for which all of us must assume our "share of responsibility. "Whatever may be the final outcome, it is safe to predict that for anbtner generation or two the press will remain a privately owned public function. Im- provement will come through many forces. u ne Amencjtn press reflects the life of all of is, and it affects the life of all of us. We must ail share the common task of raising slowly, steadily, courageously this life to a higher level of truth, of justice, of good will. pie, make the press what it is. The press can lelp us to make it and all our national institu- ions more nearly what they should be."

Inasmuch as the paper seems to have been pasted lip in broad daylight, with plenty of witnesses to the opera- ion, the problem of patching the miscrepnts is a lough one for the local Sherlock Hoiu-es to un ravel. - It may be necessary to call iuto use the finger-print systemv that McDuffie imported from the coast recently. Meanwhile, let rs not grow impatient The biggest detective in the United States in point of size- is on the job. He was also said to be the handsomest man at the Elks' carnival at Portland. Have no fear, citizens! If worst comes to worst, the defacers of billboards can walk down to MeDuffieV of fice and say, "Here we are, chief. We could net long escape your eagle eye." Technical magazines and even popular maga zines in AmericaJiaTe begun'to-aAvake to the im inense importance of Dr. Diesel's principle, as Europe awoke to it! months ago. It is nothing less than revolutionary The enthusiasticscien (ists claim for it that the present motive power ( an be immetliately increased by at least 230 per cent; that from i00 to 300 perfcenf, in expense over steam-engines can be saved, that the source of power can never be t exhausted. These and imilar; statements',, '-niade' with; the fervor of poet coupietl witli th? certainty of an expert, liave negun to arouse interest in" the Diesel en gine to an intense degree ttrieflv. Dr.. Diesel's principle is that of an engine "driven by oil, not oil fed into a furnace The Star-Bulletin is glad to hear from Su to generate steam, ?bnt oil used direct, by which pervisor Arnold himself that he has not changed method as much as is practicable of the heat so front in his opposition to the municipal record enerated is used; In work on the piston of an ordinance. Some of the supervisors trying to nne. No carburetor, no ignition apparatus is jam this ordinance through, in the face of out ded, and almost any kind of oil, mineral, tari raged public opinion, have claimed Arnold .as , nut oil, even castor oil, can be called into their ally. We believe he will stand firm. in the surrounding mountains by the Second infantry, and the . results of this 'work have been carefully mapped and compiled. The decision of the army defense board relating to roads is by far the most important action taken from the standpoint of the general public. The roads will be under military care and 'supervision, but they will be open to the i people ! of the' island, subject to certain restrictions in the way of traf fic. and the money spent by the Unit ed States; government swill pay direct dividends 'to Hawaii. Endorse' Murray Plan. V. When ' Major-General 'Arthur Mur ray, commander j f the '"Western-Di-tlsloh arid former Chief - of 'Coast Ar tillery of the army visited -Oahu last hecember and 'made a strategic cruise around the island with5 Admiral Chauncey .Thomas,-7 on- th:-'flagship California; ; he r gave'1 W tl&" Evenins Uulletin correspohderit wvhomades the cruise with him by special ''permis sion vof' tne Navy Department, an ex elusive interview," in '-which1 Ke told bf military; roads as the key ttf defensive cifectiveness. f; ' ' " It was then announced that .Oahu was to be girdled by a chain of de fensive, fortifications. ' That mortars, those bulldogs of modern ' ordnance, were to play the most important part in the. general scheme,. amTttarthey would bark defiance and QeStruction at any hostile ships that might at tempt to cover ' the landing of an trmed force on the island. Military roads were to play a leading part in this defensive plan, and it now seems that the present, board of army stra tegists, composed of the brainiest men available for the detail have We, "the peo-ifaHen in with General Murray's ideas, bUU LiiUt .

It is gleaned that the mobile army Is to be increased by jnany' troops to , properly man" the new. fortifications, and that alf; possible landing places on the coast "will be guarded by "po sition" guns ' Of small -calibrre, tesides the 12-inch mortar batteries. Bat teries of field artillery will be posted at some central location, presumably Schofield Barracks, ready on. instant rotice to converge on the threatened points of attack, viz., the military highways which the Macomb board has now decided are of vital Import ance to the defensive strength of the "Gibraltar of the Pacific." According to the Murray play, which, it is -'understood, the1 present board has endorsed with a few modi iications, the mortar batteries will be so disposed- along the entire coast line of Oahu , that the zones of , fire will reach every point of the sea ap proach, the nearest point which any war vessel could come without being within range of" some mortar being 10,000 yards.

The low est lbid, that of the Lord-Ybun? En gineering Company, was $23,000, or about $2,000 more, than the amount cf the last reservoir contract previously given. - It is understood that the rejected bids are too "high, In the Superintend ent's opinion, and that the read ver tisement is made in (he hope that lower- figures may be obtained, either trom the recent bidders or from new concerns. The morning1 paper classes Supervisor Low with the supervisors who are running the city on such an extravagant scale that it is a public scandal.
