who has been heard from here within the past few
days, submits the California plan of 15 feet with
-.1. r x m l.u ,1 l 1.1 U
lurw; im oi asjjuau jnarauaiu Biiuuiurr wu t-nu
side. This would be a notable advance on the
dimensions of the semi-permanent sections now ex
istent on the weather side of the island, and prob
ablj should be adopted by our road builders as the
minimum standard. Regarding the thickness of
the concrete base, however, there should be hesita
t ion about accepting Mr. Beckjord's suggestion of
four inches with a "squeegee" coat of asphaltum
and rock sand composition. Four inches of con
crete would probably be sufficient if laid upon the
sub-base tff existent coral roads that hare become
well settled Tinder traffic, but over earthy bottoms
in wet sections the experience both of California
and Oahu would suggest a more substantial base.
. In this connection the advice of W. W. Edwards,
ruder whose name a comprehensive and highly in
formative article on concrete roads has lately ap
peared in the Hilo Tribune, is worthy of considera
tion. Mr Edwards says: "The depth of concrete
in a road pavement may vary with conditions of
foundation, presence or absence of reinforcement,
and traffic, and Is usually between five and eight
inches. For moderately heavy traffic a depth of six
5 riches is considered sufficient if placed on a good
ub-baseMuch, for instance, as .the coral roads
jusi jue.nuuueu.
That Mr. Edwards had in mind a substantial
v, taring surface otii top of the six-inch concrete is
evident by observations he makes elsewhere in his
;:rticle After mentioning that concrete has long
proved its value as a base for various types of pave
ment, he goes on to say :
"But the all-concrete form of construction has
r.s yet not gotten away from the experimental stage
end the experience of others should be carefully
considered. tThe writer knows of cases in Califor
nia where sections of the all-concrete state highway
Lave failed, or worn so badly as to need replacing' in
only three .years' time. Repairs to a concrete road
: re hard and costly to make. In the writer's opin
ion the best type of pavement for this country con
sists of a cement concrete base supporting a 2-inch
. . caring t: surface of bituminous - concrete. Such
pavements "are now being laid in the main streets
cf Honolulu and are giving good satisfaction."
Collating ; the views of such men- as those here
i t cd with ; those of men. pf local ; experience, , the
questions of dimensions and general type of road
for different sections of the belt road should not be
(.iiUcnit of settlement. In considering the element
f traffic the main highway of the island should be
designed tt support the maximum loads up to the
1 resent ;time,v with perhaps an allowance for in
( rease but only to a certain degree beyond which -a
1 imitation should be fixed by ordinance. A railroad
standard of loads cannot be admitted, as anything
w orthy of being called a "permanent" road ought
i;ot to be placed under the necessity of rebuilding
within the life of a generation. It should, however,
fulfil the requirements of a military road, as, by
meeting the federal government halfway, a weighty
argument will be created for extensions of the high
way around the eastern and western corners of the
island by war department funds.
, Kerensky's address to the Moscow conference may
le epitomized in the three words, "Do or die."
Making The Soldier
Schools for the soldier that are cropping up all
over the country cause us to read with greater in
terest the record of what is being done by other
countries.
The system of ' comjMjundiug soldiers of the citi
zen tyje" as carried out in Australia and New Zea
land is described at some length in "The Scabbard
and Blade." a magazine of Svduev. devoted to the
service.
The training of the citizen soldier commerices in
his twelfth year and ends at the age of twenty live.
For the first two years the boy have physical cul
ture drills and actual rifle shooting. During these
two years, or first grade, the boy must devote ninety
hours to military training. The second stage ex
tends over four vears which brings the tov to
c ghteen years of age. The actual military time for
this grade is four whole days, twelve half days and
twenty-four night drills each vear. For the next
seven years he is a full fledged citizen soldier. Dur
iug tkis last jeriod he must devote sixteen whole
(lays to the practise of the soldier profession, ontJ
half of which time he must sjend in camp life as it
would be found in actual war time. There is noth
ing over arduous in the "making of the soldier." but
it does much to fit the bov-for the man's work in
war.
America has had no such "ever ready" near sol
diers to draw from in time of trouble. The closest
approach has been the military training of state
universities and the national guard. The voung
manhood of America that stepped forward; ten mil
lion strong, to answer the nation's call a few weeks
ago, with a, "Here I am. send me;" was an assnr
ance that we have a loyal citizenship willing to do
any service that the nation may require. How im
portant is it, therefore, that our government should
evolve a system of training under which these mag
nificent boys shall be not only willing but thorough
ly trained 83 that they can fight, if fight they must,
to the best advantage.
YOU BET WE WILL.
It's a long long way to get to Berlin.
That's true enough.
But since the Yankees have started on the trail
to that part of the earth, we'll get there just the
same.
.Scientific expeditions into dangerous corners of
the world ought to be placed under regulation by
the countries from which they are sent. If Brad
ley Jones and Daniel W. Wise, who, it is feared,
have met a lingering death in the noisome jungles
of the Amazon upper country, had been adequate
ly equipped with men and material they would
probably have come home in safety with what they
had gone after.
"Old Glory" means more today than it has since
the old bellman in Philadelphia pulled the rope
and sounded the signal of the independence of
America to other nations of the world. Our Flag
is now signaling the independence of the world.
If the other members of the Entente, keep up
their present stroke a few months longer, there may
be nothing left for the American army to share but
the drive to Berlin.
By figuring the time it will take to get the Dan
iels fleet of destroyers started jn commission, so
probably may the days of the U-boat pirates be
numbered.
Viscount Ishii's stay at Washington has been so
brief that we are all wondering whether he remain
ed long enough to say all that he planned to say
when he started out from Tokio.
Not much longer can the German populace be
kept in darkness as to the fact that the United
States means business.
Professions of loyalty are not what count, but
unwavering joyal conduct and actual deeds of
loyalty.
Bryan says the only end of the war "'must be the
complete overthrow of Germany.' Now he's talking.
Make the I. W. W.'s behave themselves now and
investigate them the first dull day.

WHAT HONOLULU CAN
DO FOR THE SOLDIER
Castaer Barracks, Oahu. T. H.
August Jt. 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Dear Sir: I wish to be granted a
small space in your valuable paper in
order to ease the minds of myself and
an unknown l. S. sailor, and others
hat may have witnessed the Incident.
Saturday evening at 10:30, or near
that time, it fell to me the opior
tunity to see with my own eyes the
brutality of a member cf Sheri'f
Kose's Pride and Joy.'" A so- ailed
representative of law and order, a be
ing whose intelligence emanated lrcrn
him in tidal waves, a wuuhI-'m; police
officer whose quick w its iiid ener
getic metnods called fortn cries of ap
plause from his equil'y capable as
sistant who came to tb; rii-ncui at the
opportune moment to finish the minor
points in his admirable work which
entitles him to member.uip in the
bone-head squad. Upon application
and receipt of name we will raise
a subscription for the purchasing of
a leather medal for efficiency.
The other night when returning
from a visit in Honolulu 1 noticed
three sailors having a friend'v argu
ment of plain words without use
of any profane epithets or adjective.
As they moved up the street toward !
the depot the aforesaid "strong-nrm"'
policeman came single-footing to the
scene with his trusty gore-cove: ei
cudgel in his right claw. He fol
lowed the trio a short way and fear
ing that one of the number mipht
resent his company he bravoly dashed
back to the scene of action winsre a
solitary sailor( who from all appear
ances did not even know ihe sailors
who had made the Imagined troaole),
grabbed him roughly by the scarf all
U. S. seamen wear. He pushed bim
out as far as the center of the car
tracks, brandishing his war clu' in
a very artistlcal, though threat nir.g
manner. Hearing the noise another
policeman came to the rescue, ach
ing for his gun. A mounted officer
recklessly charged to the scene endan
gering the life and limbs of four of
Honolulu's feminine citizen, flourish
ing a whip that was liable to go off
any moment. Without asking any
questions and without taking the
names of the witnesses they baldly
marched him towards Honolulu's pest
ridden jail that would be a disgrace
to any civilized community.
If the 6ailor who was subjected to
this rotten form of Justice will com
municate with the writer I will gladly
take the stand in the prosecution of :
the officer who arrested him as will
another who was with me when this '
happened.
Sheriff Rose requests 150 strong-
arm men to catch the auto thieves.
We greatly doubt his ability to find
any further specimens outside of jail.
If the sheriff would confine bis at
tentions to the thieves and bandits
and likewise the wine bums, he would
have less time to beat up soMlers
and sailors and might acquire an iota
of efficiency to commend himself for
future elections. Thanking you in
advance for your space, I beg to be,
and remain, a subscriber and occas
ional contributor.
Yours very truly,
LOUIS DAVIS,
Supply Troop, 4th U. S. Cavalry.

LITTLE INTERVIEWS
R. K. BOOTH: I was one of the
members of the Honolulu Ad Club
who criticised the police department
for failing to arrest the auto thieves
Out I was also one of the first to con
gratulate the police when they got
the man who seems to be the guilty
one.
A. P. TAYLOR: It occurs to me
that with Pineapple Day approaching
before long, Honolulu people might
find a suitable gift for the occasion
in candied pineapple, where a can
of pines cannot be shipped easily as
a gift a box of the fruit makes a good
substitute.
PERSONALITIES
SUPERVISOR E. A. MOTT SMITH
went to Hawaii last Saturday on legal
business.
H. E. SAVAGE of the Hawaiian
Pineapple Co. returned yesterday from
a short trip to Maul.
ROBERT E. STONE, instructor at
Mills school, left yesterday for a two
weeks' trip to Molokai and Maul.
SIRS H. K. DUNCAN and her daugh
ter, Muriel, are the house-guests of
Mrs. Jaeger tor the coming two weeks.
MRS. A. C. BOWDISH of Maui haa
written to the territorial food commis
sion announcing that she will accept
the position of chairman of the aux
lliary woman's committee on the Val
ley Island, providing she can success
fully combine this work with her oth
er duties.
RYAN IS FOR MOIR.
Hilo, August 24, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: I substantially agree with W.
W. G. Mofr, Albert Horner and others
who would "do something" and not
talk so much. It is encouraging to
find a young man like Mr. Moir grown
big enough and independent enough to
get out of the old rut. While there
are far too many shouting their patri
otism from the house-tops, this young
man does the bravest thing of all. In
open defiance of the "old school" he
points right at the center of the tar
get and practically says: "Put your
shots there."
A. L. Castle is a 'faithful and capable
representative of the "old school,
producing acres of writing, reports,
theories, etc., but never a half acre of
results. If we could feed ourselves
and the Allies on "bunk," Hawaii
could take the whole contract and get
away with it and then some.
Mr. Horner is perfectly right in sug
gesting the construction of a railroad
northward from the Volcano House. If
the Hilo Railway Company cannot un
dertake the project, then there should
be an effort made to Induce the fed
eral government to do so. It was done
In Alaska. Why not in Hawaii?
Every progressixe citizen of the ter
ritory will say to Mr. Moir: "Aloha
more power to your punch."

WAIMEA CITY WATER.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin
Sir: In your valuable paper I see
the Hilo city fathers are trying to
save some of the waste of water 'rom
the public. Our city father simply
GEN. and MRS JAS. M'RAE and
daughter, Miss Mildred, will come in
this week from Schofleld Barracks and
will be guests at the Colonial hotel
until they sail next week for the
states. Miss Dorothy McRae will visit
at Pearl Harbor until the transport
sails. Gen. McRae waa recently trans
ferred to the mainland at the same
time being promoted from colonel.
MR. ERNEST PODMORE and Mr.
Fred Biven leave this afternoon in the
Wilhelmina to join the tennis ambu
lance carps in France. Mr. Pod more fs
giving up his position with Alexander
& Baldwin, and Bevin has been with
the experiment station staff of the
planters' association. These young
men are to report in New York the
15th of September, and they expect to
go immediately to France where they
will undergo whatever training may be
necessary.
