Von Bisslng and the German Idea

jnered nations were amply shown imhw military

cold, inexorable rothlcssnew which subordinates
everj consideration of human welfare to the attain

WHEX WILL THE WAR END?
A seeker after curiosities recently compiled some
of the predictions as to the ending of the war the
most famous of which, of course, is the grim Kitch
ener's laconic comment that it would last at least
three years. This was in 1914. Son of the other
prophecies were :
Georges Clemenceau, former French Premier, Nov
ember 2. 1914 "01 one thing alone I am certain: The
war will be long, perhaps very long."
'Count Baschleri ot France, January 1, 1915 "Ger
many will be vanquished. the.Kaiser will commit sui
cide and peace will be declared on April 27."
General Francois Joubert-Pienaar, ex-Boer leader, irr
France, September 27, 1914 "The war will be long
and fierce."
Privy Councilor Richard Wlttin of Germany, Sep
tember 28, 1914 There is not going to be any peace,
not o a long time. It will be a long war. We are
prepared for three years."
Prince von Buelow, Jlarch 14, 1915 "Even if we do
not win at once, our resistance will be long and may
be changed Into victory. The war will be frightful,
monstrous,"
Rudolph Martin, former Minister of the Interior of
Germany, early in March, 1115 "Germany wUl dictate
peace terms in London after two years of fighting."
All of these predictions came from men who pre
gumably bad some "inside" knowledge of the facts.
Yet only those who admitted the war would be a
long one have come anywhere near the truth. Thfc
best prediction still is that the war is to be long
drawn out, and Uncle Sam must prepare for a strug
le whose bitterness it only guessed at now.
The visit of Elihu Boot and his retinue to Russia
is popularly supposed to mean that the influence of
the United $tatee will be exerted to the utmost to

of, his capacity has been chosen for the important
dufj. iliussia 9 dangerously near upsetting the
whole Allied plan of action and just at the moment
when activity by he Russian army would mean
much. Bussia could win for herself much more by
active warfare than she can possibly obtain by some
precarious peace with Germany. Lowell, Mass.,

WHERE SOME OF THE MOKEV
GOES
Editor Honolulu Star-bulletin.
Sir: I wonder how many peopb of
this city, particularly taxpayers, ever
take a glance at the city and sovatv
auditor's report It Is most interest
ing reading, especially for those who
wonder "where the money goes.
There is bo need to go too deep into
details, and a quoting from one de
partment alone may whet the appetite
for mere. I quote from the city sad
county auditor's report for repairs to
city and county automobiles (no sew
purchases included) for-the last cal
endar year, and the following are the
amounts we taxpayers ar had to
p angle up for repairs to city and coun
ty machines, divided between actual
service and Joy riding:
Engineer's office $ 77.61
Electric light system zSt.07
Road Dept (auto trucks) . . . 306S.T3
Road Dept (water works) .. 1145.11
Mayor's office 144SJ4
Police Dept 320S.83
Garbage Dept 819.lt
Building and plumbing 383J1
License commission 374-33
Totala ., I11.HU1
Almost 31000 a month for REPAIRS
alone. That's going some. -
Not departing too far from the asm
subject it is written in the report that
the road department bought tour
mules, paying for the same fll3O.0.
That's going some mere.
But here's where we can laugh, be
cause it belongs to another county.
Hawaii county sheriff, incidental
(outside of salary) SZ3S0Jf. PsputV
sheriff, same county, Incidental,
35544.57. That's considerable ram-
bllne.
We might mention. In passing, thai!
the territorial board of health has five
automobiles in cod mission in this
city. San Fraacisco has three for to
broad expanse of territory and halt
million people.

SAVE THE BREAP
Editor Honolulu Sttr-Bulletin.
Sir: The first consideration of the
people ot the United States today IS
to increase the production of food.
That Is paramount, for then la known
to be a shortage. Tbe very next con
sideration should be to eliminate all
waste of food. Inquiry and commis
sion are working hand Jn band with s
view to revealing every possible ave
nue of economy In food production,
consumption and preservation.
It might be well for the people et
this country to adopt the regulation
issued by the British government,
that forbids the sale of bread-which
is less than twelve hours old. We
might go our British cousins one bet
ter by' making the sale Unit time
twenty-four hours instead of twelve
The reason is obvious. Such a state
of affilrs woula create a saving of
several million . bushels . of wheat la
one year, and every loaf ef bread
baked would be eaten, by the people,
There would be bo half loaf dUetrdv
ed and a new loaf purchased :ach
morning. -Ws cn accustom orseJvee
to many things, and. eating-twenty
four hour old bread could be one of
them. Feeding poultry eft yesterday's
bread, made from 33.18, wheat is not

along good lines of sqoncwuy, especm
ly during war times. -
