In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. The Melting Pot of the Pacific: Japanese are the most numerous element in the Hawaiian Islands, ac- cording to Sanford B. Dole, former President of the Hawaiian Republic, then first Governor of the territory, and from 1906-1916 a Federal Judge. Their children born there are requir- ed, as indeed are all children, to at- tend the public schools, which are ex- cellent. When they come of age they automatically become American citi- zens. There are Japanese and Chi- nese schools also which the young people attend in order that they may keep up a knowledge of the languages of their home land. It is interesting to know, Judge Dole told the Boston Herald, that there is no feeling against the Orien- tals, as there is on the Pacific Coast— no race antipathy. There are a good many Germans in the islands. A few of them are nat- uralized. A good many have married there, either native or American wives. They are not regarded as a dangerous element even now that the war is raging, Judge Dole said. It is a matter of good form not to discuss the war where Germans are present, and so on the surface at least every- thing is pretty harmonious. The for- mer German consul, a leading man in the firm of Halford & Co., and natur- alized, was recently arrested as con- cerned in promoting a revolution in India, however. Asked about the Portugese, Judge Dole replied that they were numer- ous, and made an excellent addition to the population. Many of their chil- dren had grown up and become vot- ers. They are law-abiding and indus- trious, and tend to be rather conserv- ative. There are many Russians also. The educated ones “get away;” their chil- dren go to the common schools and form a very promising class. There are few Irish, and naturally the Irish question is rarely brought The native Hawaiians of pure blood are gradually disappearing. There are more boys than girls born of them. Of marriages between Hawaiians and whites the balance between masculine and feminine offspring is nearly equal, which Judge Dole said was a good sign in that element. Nearly all the chiefs have disappeared and the chieftain blood cannot be recognized in the population. That was partly due to the fact that when King Kam- ahameha I (Kamahameha means “The Lonely One”) conquered the islands and united them under his rule, he distributed all the lands among his own followers. The dispossessed for- mer chiefs disappeared, and their children were absorbed into the com- mon people. President Eliot’s favorite theory that it is fatal for people of dissimi- lar races to marry does not seem to be borne out by the experiences of the Hawaiians. Americans, Russians, Portuguese, English and Germans alike take native wives, and their chil- dren are perfectly normal. Moreover, the native Hawaiians and those of mixed blood are received in perfect social equality. - The Hawaiian delegate to Wash- ington, known as Prince Cupid—his real name being Kalani Ana Ole, meaning the Measureless—is a very good example of the true Hawaiian. He is married to a woman who is part Portuguese and part Hawaiian. He has given satisfaction in his public capacity, and is a public spirited and popular man. Judge Dole, remarking on the like- lihood of Hawaii’s becoming a State, said that the difficulty would be in the great preponderance of alien citizens; but that if it were admitted to the Union the native vote would be so heavy that probably Prince Cupid would be elected Governor. Under present conditions the population votes on every question except that of the governorship. Judge Dole was asked about the former Queen Liliuokalani, and re- plied that in spite of the revolution (in which he took so prominent a part) he and she were excellent friends: She is more popular among the Hawaiians now than when she sat on the throne, and is regarded as rep- resenting the old regime. She is quite patriotic, has contributed large- ly to the Red Cross, and hangs out the Stars and Stripes on all great oc- casions. She is a talented musical composer, and to her is attributed the Hawaiian national song, “Aloha oe.” The Hawaiian language is still largely in use, though it tends to be corrupted by the mixture of foreign words. There is a movement on foot, Judge Dole said, to have it taught regularly in the schools, so that it may be preserved in greater purity. There is a fine literature in the ver- nacular. Many beautiful poems have been written in it, and there are sev- eral native Hawaiian weeklies, well edited, and as patriotic as our Amer- ican journals. The language itself has great melodiousness and beauty. It is easy to learn it for ordinary con- versation, but one might spend many years in acquiring a thorough knowl- edge of the written tongue and its lit- erature. Judge Dole said that it is quite probable that the native Hawaiian Islanders are of Aryan stock and came originally from Central Asia, through the Malay Peninsula, which would explain their ready assimilation with the white races.

Germans ‘Want Dutch Shippin g. Germans are attempting to secure entire control of the Dutch mercan- tile marine during and after the war. Holland, having no iron and steel for ship construction or repair, is obliged to obtain these materials from Ger- many, writes the special correspond- ent of the London Times. The con- ditions imposed by Germany for sup- plying iron and steel place Dutch shipbuilders at the mercy of the Ger- mans, he asserts. All the Dutch shipyards receiving German iron and steel are under con- tract to the Germans to make a re- turn of all details connected with ship construction and repair and with the ultimate destination of the vessel, such as the person to whom the ship- builder contemplates selling. These particulars, which are of the most comprehensive character, are exact- ed not only concerning sea-going ves- sels, but also in the case of the small- est boats for inland water traffic. Any dispute arising has to be settled by a German court at Essen. In addition the Germans insist that all Dutch shipbuilders and owners re- ceiving German iron and steel shall sign a contract valid for five years after the war that they will not sell any ship without giving Germany the right of refusal and that during five years after the war they will not al- low their ships to be employed direct- ly or indirectly for the benefit of Ger- many’s present enemies. The Dutch Government Iron and Steel committees have, however, ad- vised builders and owners not to ac- cept these last two conditions. No ship is allowed to be repaired with German iron and steel by any firm on the German black list, but the Germans are prepared to waive this prohibition on condition of a gener- ous subscription to their war loan. A further measure intended to force Dutch shipping to serve Ger- many alone, continues the Times cor- respondent, is applied to ships not necessarily built with German mate- rials in Groningen Provinces. These ships cannot enter the sea except through the River Ems. Groningen shipbuilders wishing to send their ships to sea must first sign a contract giving Germany the right of refusal and promising not to serve Germany’s present enemies for five years after the war. Failing this they will be seized on their journey through the Ems seaward. Notwithstanding all these meas- ures, Dutch mercantile talent has overcome in some cases the Teutonic attempt to fetter Dutch shipowners, as appears from a circular by Dr. Sturm, officially known as the Hague representative of the Berlin Export and Import office. Certain Dutch shipbuilders signed a declaration which was not binding and several ships therefore have gone to England, As soon as Sturm learned this he ap- proached the Dutch government and under threat of reprisals he succeed- ed in obtaining from it a prohibition of leave for those ships whose owners signed a non-binding declaration.

Shortage of Ship Draftsmen. There are not enough ship drafts- men in the United States to do the drafting work needed to carry out the naval and merchant ship-building programs. Our country is engaged in the execution of the greatest war- ship construction plan in history, comprising 787 vessels, including all types from super-dreadnaughts to submarine chasers. Naval appropria- tions aggregating nearly two billions of dollars have been made since Au- gust, 1916. Coincident with the demand for in- creased naval work there is an equal- ly urgent call for an increase of merchant ship construction. It is be- traying no secret to say that in both branches there is a shortage of tech- nical men available for the work. The United States Civil Service Commission is endeavoring to relieve the dearth of ship draftsmen by rec- ommending to the heads of colleges and technical schools that Senior stu- dents in engineering courses be giv- en intensive training in naval archi- tecture during the coming spring, with a view of making them available for employment as ship draftsmen in June. The Commission is also receiv- ing applications from qualified archi- tectural, mechanical, and structural steel draftsmen, and is certifying them for employment in the Navy De- partment and in navy yards on ship work. Local boards of civil service exam- iners at the postoffices in all of the larger cities are furnishing detailed information and application blanks. Applicants are not required to appear in an examination room for a written examination, but are rated upon their education, training, and experience.
