that uest front where Bmsilof last sum
come heavy blows.
Germany's pence terms a extended to Russia
pledge restitution of Russia's conquered provinces
witli the exception of that territory taken by the
Austrian. Berlin knows better than to promise
the return of Austria's fruits of battle, for that
would at onee alienate the Emperor Charles, who
has already displayed disquieting signs of an inde
Iendenee of Germany.
But while promising to restore these provinces,
Germany proposes that there be established a
; "friendly understanding" with regard to Poland,
: Lithuania and Courland-tequivalent to giving Ger
V many a strong hand in their management. The
r "joker" in this portion of the offer is perceptible.
Serbia has nothing to gain by the proposed peace,
for Germany dare not propose a restoration to the
Serbs of the province of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
' "; as these are to be held by Austria. Berlin ha sug
i gested a union of Serbia and Montenegro a propo
; ition which the leaders of both countries, shattered
" though they are, immediately repudiate.
5 Germany has no idea of giving Russia the rights
of the Dardanejles, for that would alienate Turkey
' -and always be it remembered that Turkey is to be
preserved from Allied conquest so that it can be
used in the ambitious Germanie scheme of "Mit
teleuropa" of a mighty Germanic empire stretch-
v ing from the BalticSea to the Persian Gulf.
; A few weeks agowhen ta4m Gorky, the Russian
; I author, exposed the attempts made by Berlin to buy
v, off. Russia, it came out that Germany had suggested
j the Internationalization of interoceanic canals. Pre-
stimablT this is one method of assuring Russia her
long-desired access to an open winter port through
; the Dardanelles. But it likewise awakens Americans
; to the danger that Germany will insist also on inter
nationalizing the Panama Canal. Germany also
v makes no secret of her intention to emerge from the
; war if her plots succeed with "such a degree of
; German naval power as shall guarantee its Imme
diate superiority orer' possible enemies on the seas
at then beginning of the hostilities." These are the
.words 'of Germany' leading military writer repre
r; ' seating the dominating class Count zn Beventlow.
' Gorky's revelations early this month were illnm
:;' inatingv( He told how t. Rizow, the Bulgarian min
. ister at Berlin had'sent him, by two separate Ger
; man agents, proposals for a separate peace, Rizow
admitted that he.had : previously received two re
pulses, one from the Russian ministers at Stockholm
; and Chrlstlania and -one from Dr. Paul Miiukov,
V then mlntster of foreign affairs in the provisional
"government at Petrograd. Rizow made to Gorky the
: following concrete proposal :
; ''Russia to conclude an immediate armistice with
her foes, both belligerents retaining their present
.fronts, and to summon immediately a Russia con
: Btitnent assembly witbrthe aim of deciding on peace
l or .war."
; Gorky,, while an advocate of peace to an extent
- which is almost funaticaJ. at occc denounced this
-v proposal;
r Todaj'-s xlcspatches indicate that Germany is re
vncwiugthe suggestion of an armistice. Of course
Germany has nothing to lose and everything to gaiu
' by such a course. Germany needs every inan'en the
. western fi'ont. Already tlie German high command
has detached some hundreds of thousands, perhaps
more than half a million, from the east to throw into
the weakening line on the west. If Russia can be
cajoled into definite cessation of hostilities, the
ready weary of the conflict, and might conceivably
lead to Bulgaria's retirement from the war.
LIQUOR LAWLESSNESS.
Prohibition for the island of Oahu and it should
be for all the territory is made necessary by the
failure of the new federal law to accomplish the
end intended, that of preventing the sale of intoxi
cants to men of the service.
Scores upon scores of caws of law violation are
being discovered by the police and the liquor license
inspector. "Blind pigs" are fiouriswig; the --boot
legger" is doing a tremendous business; all sorts of
holes and dives are suddenly beginning an illicit
business to cater to the men in uniform who cannot
buy openly at the saloons.
As usual, the booze interests are helping to bring
abput their own disaster. It is impossible that civi
lians can buy liquor in such quantities as they are
buying it without the saloonmeu knowing that it is
to be sold illegally and that means, usually, sold
to soldiers and sailors.
For the evasions of the law; for the blind pigging
and bootlegging, the civilians are as much to blame
if not more than the soldiers. The civilians are
ready and willing, for a few dirty dollars, to 'help
the soldier break the law, to profit by his succumb
ing to temptation.
Hawaii should have prohibition and have it quick
ly. It should be enforced for all the territory be
cause it is wrong, it is unfair, it is un-American
that our soldiers and sailors should be the victims
of class legislation. Oahu should have prohibition
because the present situation is a defiance of a fed
eral law passed in a time of grave emergency; be
cause until there is general prohibition the-law will
continue to be defied.
More and more vigorous becomes the criticism
leveled against the board of liquor license commis
sioners which hastily restored the late-closing hour,
after the law against selling intoxicants to soldiers,
became effective here.
The board's action gives just so many hours more
