This game closed the year, and there will probably be nothing more doing in league baseball until next season. Owing to this fact, and the further consideration that many of the players will have to go to Honolu lu for the National Guard encamp ment, it will probably be impossible to go to Hilo, even should an invita tion be extended.

Open Forum The Allies On The Sea Editor Maui News: I read with some interest your arti cle of October 19 on the above sub ject which was interesting reading, even if one did not see with you, rye to eye. Just what the Allies should have done regarding the German fleet and bases In the beginning of the war, we all know that there were several things that should have been done at that time that were not done. How ever, when I read your article further and noted your question: "Where are Ihe great British fleets and Ilritish mastery of (he seas"? it rather sur prised me. We all know that the great fleet Is not infallible, and it did not dig the Huns out of Kiel like rats out of a hole, as one "Hotair" Churchill once suggested. Still, if we will but think once it is easy enough to see that the British fleet has accomplished much, and is still "master of the seas" and is likely to be so for sometime yet. In the beginning of the war that British fleet "bottled up" the fleet of the Huns and has kept it bottled. Certainly they ventured out once in the North Sea, but were soon sent back yelping to their kennel, from whence they have not shown their noses since. Had It not been for the British fleet, Germany would, no doubt earlier in the war, have picked a quarrel with America, blown her, then, med icre fleet out of the sea and would have domineered the States and Canada today. The British fleet has not only been fighting the battles of England but those of America, the other Allies and neutrals. For over three years she has patrolled the North Sea, day and night; she has uarded her long line of coast; cov- veyed all shipping in and out of her ports; guarded the merchantmen and transports to and from France; patrol led the ocean to the Mediterranean; watched British and other interests in Suez, South Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand, and from Canada to Ciipe Horn, in the Pacific and Atlantic; and constantly fighting the submarine at. home and abroad, etc. Yet, that fleet has not come up to what "was reasonably expected of it." Well, then, I don't know, perhaps, what may be considered a reasonable performance. Also, why is it the British fleet that is expected to do everything? No doubt you would have liked to have seen a scrap. So would I, still I think that the very fact that the Huns lie skulking under cover is sufficient to show that the much-abused British navy Is still master of the seas hence a protection to civilization. Today, America boasts of a grand fleet, and from all accounts the last three years of construction and equip ment now stand .about the second finest in the world, or certainly very close to it. So being, now would be I hat fleet's chance to do a bit of "dig ging" in the Kiel canal, blow Huns out of the Baltic and make a name for itself. As you say, the indenti cal program of razing German ship building works and putting the Kiel canal out of business will have to be carried out. Then, why not? E. W. CHRISTMAS, R. B. A.

In Wailku district court this morning he entered a plea of guilty and ' was sentenced to jail for three months. The hard life he had been leading had reduced Batasuila to a poor phy sical and mental state, and it is be lieved that prison food will restore him to something like normal again. -U- Assessor To Molokai Tax Assessor Kunewa went over to Molokai Saturday morning, returning Wednesday night.
