SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. lo.Offt
ccrs of the Union Steamship Com
pany's steamer Paloona. which arriT
ed here yesterday from Tahiti with
the marooned victims of the Seeadle?
aboard, said they had recognized the
steamer Maverick, suspected of oper
ating as a German raider since the
disappearance last August, about 6)0
miles from San Francisco, on the
route to Honolulu.
On the night of December 8. the of
ficers said, they sighted a vessel ap
parently -wrapped in flames. They
put over their vessel to give aidi only
to make out the silhouette which stooa
out against the ragged spot of ligh.
in the background of sea and night
as that of the Maverick. The outlines
of the vessel were declared to be dis
tinctive and unmistakable.
The Maverick, formerly owned by
Captain Fred Jebsen, dropped out of
sight last August while on a run from
Manila to the canal. Reports that a
German raider had been operating in
the Pacific have led masters to be ex
tremely careful. It is believed by
many in marine circles that the Mav
erick, a fourteen-knot boat, is lying in
wait for 6ome faster vessel which the
crew hopes to capture and turn into a
second Seeadler.
WAR TALKS AT ARMORY
HEARD WITH INTEREST
A very good crowd filled the armory
last. Saturday night at the Red Cros
free entertainment, at which Captain
Thomas Lowe, U. S. A., gave a very in
teresting talk on modern warfare and
Dr. James R. Judd showed his collec
tion of pictures of war scenes in
France.
, Captain Lowe explained the modern
trench system and how it is used to
repel an attack of the enemy and the
many new weapons .which the war has
brought out such as the grenades. H
particularly asked the people at houn
to back up the men on the firing line.
He said there was no more effective
method than by stopping the treacher
ous actions of the Huns and treating
air Germans among us as enemies.
Dr. Judd's pictures and lecture were
extremely wonderful, showing as the)
did the wounded soldier coming lata
the hospital at Neuilly and Juillg am.
later how by the extraordinary surgl
cal methods developed ly the: war
they were once more able to enjoy
life.
At the close of the entertainment
A. L. Castle, chairman, asked all who
had not Joined the Red Cross to do so.

DECLARES COLLEGE OF HAVAII
REGENTS RIGHT IN THEIR STANI
Honolulan Says Bitterness of
War Warps Judgment in At
tacks on College Faculty
Members for Alleged Dis
loyalty December 22. 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Permit me to take this occa
sion to congratulate Mr. Farrington
and the other members of the Board of
Regents of the College of Hawaii on
the stand they have taken with refer
ence to the two instructors at the lo
cal college, who were charged with
disloyalty to our country by idle and
gossip mongers. By this act alone.
Mr. Farrington has shown that he is a
patriot and, at the same time, a Just
and conscientiou3 man.
The hatred and bitterness of the
war, resulting from the barbarous acts
of the Huns, have made inroads into
our daily lives, and we are gradually
carrying this war against our neigh
bors who, perhaps, have never offend
ed us except in difference of opinion.
Hence, it is very difficult to find a
patriot now-a-days who is also just and
conscientious.
As I understand it, the purpose of a
college is to seek after truth. This is
more so in view of the fact that our
college was created primarily for
scientific investigations. Science is an
effort to obtain truth. That being the
case, the feeling of bitterness and
hatred of this war should never be a
factor in deciding ,who should or
should not be teachers in the college.
The sole ami only question, it seems to
me, should be whether the instructor
is competent aud efficient. Academic
freedom should not only be encour
aged but insisted upon in order that
the end of scientific research be at
tained. The instructors, who were so un
ceremoniously and unnecessarily
brought into public scrutiny, have
never been guilty of any specific act
of disloyalty to our flag. Miss Math
ews, who can trace her ancestry bacK
to the landing of the pilgrims, has
more claim to being a good citizen
than her accusers ever desire or hope
to be. She has shown explicitly and
conclusively In her answer to Presi
dent Dean's inquiry that prior to the
United States' entrance into this cata
clysm, sne was neutral, absolutely
aeainst this war in any shape or form.
She was loyal to one flag only, and
that flag is the Stars and Stripes.
When our country entered the war,
she followed the lead of the presi
dent, suppressing whatever personal
opinion 6he might have entertained
previous to the declaration of war. To
her the paramountcy of the United
States is unquestionable, and yet she
has been accused of acts of disloyalty.
I challenge her accusers to state
wherein and whereby they are any
more loyal than she is or was. 1
doubt whether they had been as neu
tral and loyal to the United States as
Miss Mathews had been before wo
joined the Allies. The question fore
most In my, mind is whether these
people, particularly those who had
been naturalized, are permitting their
feelings for the country in which they
were born to obstruct the performance
of their duties as American ritlzens
and public servants. If the perform
ance of these duties were made sub
servient to the feelings for the coun
try of their birth, then it would be an
outrage and the. height of inconsist
ency to bring a lady of Miss Mathews'
scholarship and refinement into the
public press. To say the least, it is
unchivalrous, not to say indecent.
Respectfully yours,
HOOX WO WONG.

did about $5000 damage. The barn was
used for storage of farm wagons and

was of Incendiary origin.
