The Militarists Must Go
Eetirement of Chancellor Ton Bethmann-Hollweg
and formation of a joint dictatorship for Germany
nder General ron Hindenburg and von Luaen
dorft! is no solution of the Teuton problem. It may
.delay but cannot avert the ultimate downfall -of
Germany if the continues on her present course.
Von Hindenburg was Germany's war hero when
l& was taken from the eastern front and placed in
hirrh command of the German armies. But white
Lis name is known far better than that of ron
Ludendorff, the latter lias recently been credited
with being the brains of the German military sys
tem, while von Hindenburg is its brawn. "At any
rate, the two hate worked together remarkably
wel) and it must therefore be supposed that their
ideas of military and political policy are similar.
That too nindenburg "counselled the resort to
"rctUcssness last winter is a fact generally cred
ited outside of Germany on information from Ger"
nan sources. It is believed that the grim old war
rior cf tie Slaxnrian marshes and his chief of staff,
ron Lodcndorfl; were influential in bringing the
-orcrament to indorse the U-boat campaign of un
restricted warfare. It is therefore reasonable to
t cIIct that a joint dictatorship of these two would
rot end the ruthlessness,t nor even modify it to an
cpprcciable'extent'iv ;. ..""v
How Germany can expect to modernize her poli
tics or better Her international position with these
tr.o i& the saddled impossible to conceive. Even
t cpgy tuny German logic could scarcely hope that
a dictatorship of these militarists will improve her
relations with the world. . In fact, the dictator pro
"vztx as hinted at in London despatches Saturday
: it must be taken with a large grain of salt, as
: :ust the report of the kaiser's abdication. Not that
. :.cse things, are impossible far from itf but.that a
: ;cre change of military masters offers no nope ror

Ths news from Austria this morning is startling
ut not Lard to believe. TheV young Emperor,

r.ussias unexpected offensive on -the east carried

As vtzi apparent several months ago, Germany's
r 2 hone cf success was to sink foodships for Eng-
: :ad at such a rate that the English by mid-summer
ould face actual starvation. This Germany ; nas
.Hed to do. Her U-boats have shown Tinexpected
; ssibilities, bnt not sufficient to isolate the British
les.- Meanwhile, the entrance of the United States
: -.to the war has assured the financial future of
every member of the Allies; has given France new

I : atente powers an " enormous reserve of men - and
'vcalth-7 reserve more effective, than that great

tl.ey again come out to 4do battle. America's men
r.nd America's millions are ready to strike the Ger
: ;aas if they are called on for action ; are, in fact,

Doubtless the German masters will" make xa pre

fyiag the starving, sacrificing'people. The only per
i.ianent reform is that of substituting democracy
for 'autocracy, and this 'will not, be accomplished

THE COW NUISANCE.
The war-time slogan. A Cow in Every Vacant
Lot," has two sides. One of them is the food-producing
side. The other is the nuisance side.
For several weeks complaints have been growing
against the keeping of cows on small lots in the
residence sections. As the warm weather came on,
flies and odors multiplied, and unfortunately both
flies and odors refuse to stay at home but visit them
selves on the long-suffering neighbors.
Especial complaint now comes from the Makiki
district. Here it is alleged some of the home-owners
are attempting to run miniature dairies next
door to neighbors who are bothered extremely with
the resulting flies.
The Star-Bulletin referred these complaints to
the city sanitary department and Dr. James T.
Wayson, in charge, asks that the specific facts of
location of these animal nuisances be placed in his
hands. He will not make public the names of the
complainants, since that might breed unneighborly
feeling, but he will endeavor to have the nuisance
eliminated, and at least the place will be cleaned up
CITY MANAGEMENT WANTED.
This is an instance of how mainland cities and
towns are progressing toward the managership
form of government:
DELTA Colorado, June 29. On Tuesday eyening a
, sort of Indignation meeting was held at the court
house at which there were a number of speeches pro
and con, and finally several committees were appoint
ed take up the matter of city government, .including
the present water system. A committee was ap
pointed to draw up a petition to be submitted to the
pebple of the city looking toward the matter of amend
ing the city charter to confirm to a city manager
ship. Dejta is taking up the city managership for busi
ness reasons because better business management
of the town is wanted by the people.

SPEECH GELEDRATE ANNIVERSARY
Steady progress of the Order of For
esters and especially of Court Luna
lilo 600 was the distinctive feature
of the celebration of Foresters Satur
day evening. More than 150 members
of the order attended the banquet
held at the Young hotel Saturday eve
ning to celebrate the 38th anniversary
of the founding of Court Lunalllo.
This function was the closing event
of the exercises of the day which
started early in the afternoon with
Initiatory exercise held In the Knights
of Pythias' hall. A large class was
taken in, and after the conferring
of degrees in the lodge room members
headed by the Hawaiian band marched
to the Young hotel
Gov. Pinkham and Judge Heen were
the special guests of honor and seat
ed with them at the head table were
Senator C. F. Chillingworth and W. R.
Farrlngton. Joseph Ordenstein pre
sided as master of ceremonies and he
performed his task with the finished
touch of an old-time toasimaster. Mr.
Ordenstein Is an excellent speaker
and also, an enthusiast on Forestry.
The preliminaries were made pleas,
ant by selections by the Russian, or
chestra, the banqueters joining In
with somej of the nuabers, as for in
stance, the "I Love Yon Lunalllo," an
adaptation of the Harry Lauder Ad
Club song which Court Lunalllo has
made the song of the court
Gov. Pinkham brought a cheer from
the banqueters when he mentioned
his understanding that Court Luna
lllo was prepared to furnish two com
panies of men If the national guard
is called out. The governor also made
mention of his plan to develop the
civic center and give more appropriate
surrounding to the last resting place
of the Hawaiian king from whom the
court takes Its name. '
Heen on Patriotism
Judge Heen was Introduced as not
only a distinguished guest but as a
valued member of the order repre
senting Kilauea lodge. Judge Heen
dwelt on the patriotic features of the
order and the patriotic enthusiasm of
its members.
Americans in the Philippines apparently place
small faith in the Germans, including the sailors of
the interned ships. The editor of the Iloilo Enter
prise Press touches up the situation as follows:
"Many comments have been made on our articles
as showing a.neavy anti-German tendency. Since
every act of the sailors of the interned ships has
shown that they not only desired to create as much
damage as possible to the ships, but even attempted
to sink them; in the fairway, we do not see how
any German or German sympathizer can complain
at our attitude. It is well known that many Ger
man subjects and their sympathizers are trying their
best to create troubleboth in Luzon apd the South
er Isles, but Hthe old saying, .'Let him have rope
enough will surely come into effect and if only one
is takeninj there will be a rounding up of all. Un
cle Sam is easjr until aroused but after that yfcu
had better seek your caves for he is after you with
both feet and two guns and will get you."
Thetlelight the French are showing at the appear
ance of American soldiers on the soil of France in
no way exceeds the eagerness with which Americans
welcomed Lafayette, De Grasse and Rochambeau
wben they came to our aid in the Revolutionary
"War. And they were just as badly' needed then as
we are needed by- France now. Whatever were the
motives that prompted Louis and Vergennes to
come to our relief, the bread they cast upon the
waters is coming back at the most Critical day in
the history of their people. It was a good" invest
ment No one. thing in the war has made stronger
appeal to the American heart than the plight of
France, caught iri the mesh of European politics
and all but crushed -by its ancient enemy. -Baltimore

) Civil Service Commissioner Aluli is moved by
laudable motives in endeavoring to help along mem
bers of the police and fire department who wish to
negotiate loans to purchase homes, but the commis
sion would be embarking on "a dangerous experi
ment in indorsing applications for snch loans. It
is a question whether it has the legal right to take
any such action, and it is another question if the
plan would not lead the city into a maze of difficul
ties. By the way; if7as alleged at the commission
meeting Saturday, policemen and firemen have been
stung" by loan shares at 'the rife of 120 per cent

W! R. Farrlngton spoke of the In
dividual responsibility of the mem
bers 11 citixens and their great op
port unity to do their-part ia aiding
to make Honolulu the best city in its
management as well as in its natural
settings. He urged the members as
citizens to stand for efflcJencytn pub
lic service just as they had done in
their fraternity in order to bring it
up to its present high standard. Ho
said he hoped to see the day when
homes would take the place of tenements.
Senator Chillingworth followed up
the tenement topic and the important
place the Foresters must hold In ad
vancing the wellbeing of the Ha
wallans so strongly represented in
Court Lunalllo. He urged his hear
ers to continued interest in the uplift
of the Hawaiian.
John Short, on of the old-Omft
honored officers of the court, gave
an instructive review of the history
of the order, and of the particular
court.
Secretary Palmer Woods brought
greetings from the mayor. Mr. Woods
made special reference to the im
portance of getting the Hawalians out
of the tenements and building better
homes. y
Former Mayor John C. Lane re
ferred to the need for uplift work
among the Hawalians and pointed
to the splendid opnfrtunity present
ed Court Lunalllo to be the leaaer
toward bettering conditions.
Park Commissioner Ylerra told
some good stories Just to liven up
things. Supervisor Charles Arnold
made a strong speech on the good
work of the past and the opportuni
ties for the future. The program
was closed with remarks by Sheriff
Nose who thanked the court for the
many honors' It had given him and
vledged himself to work for the wel
fare of Its members in all their
worthy ambitions.
The singing of "America" at the
close gave an appropriate finish to
an evening Jn which good fellowship,
fraternity and patriotism were hap
pily combined:

The council of national defense au
thorizes the following: .
How the retail grocers5 of this coun
try can render immediate and vital
service in the present war emergency
is- indicated in a letter just sent to
the Grocers' Association by the Com
mercial Economy board; of the coun
cil of national , !ef ense.f The board
hasrmade a careful fctudy of the econ
omics which are possible in the de
livery service of retail stores. It has
found that the average cost of de
livery in retairToceiiy i,stores is not
far from 3 per cent of the gross Sales.
Often the grocer is called upon to
make special delivery, o a small arti
cle, and lie feels it necessary to do
so rather than displease and possibly
lose a customer: But there. wouldT be
no danger of loss to trade through
declining to make such deliveries if
all the retail grocers- in 'a town or
city cooperated.
Public Must Cooperate
-We reallte,' says Mr. A. W. Shaw,
chairman of-the board, "that the co
operation of the public especially of
the women who do most of the order
ing and buying from the stores, is
necessary to make these plan a sue
cess. To that end we are now, mak
ing a nation-wide appeal to the con
sumer. We are urgingpurchasers to
carry home all possible packages in
stead of having them sent We are
asking women of the country to plan
their orders ahead, to systematize
their buying so that It will not be
necessary to have the grocer's. wagon
make accommodation trips. We are
pressing home a slogan, 'Carry Tour
Own "
Signs Suggested
Signs prominently displayed in
every retail grocery store in the coun
try, asking purchasers not to require
needless deliveries, would have a won
derfully beneficial effect For Instance,
we suggest that every grocer display
such a card as this:
Don't have it sent, if you can carry
it home.
Your country needs the men and
money- now being wasted in needless'
delivery of goods. 4
Be patriotic carry your 'own.
Or, such a sign as this:
Lighten, your comtry's burden by
carrying youT own.
Millions of dollars and thousands J
of men are tied up by needless de
livery of goods.
These men and this money can be
released for vital service If you will
help.
It Is patriotic to carry home all
possible parcels.
Begin today.

cil of defense."
