"IT TASIJINGTON, January 18; V V A note, signed on behalfof the Entente Allies, by Arthur J.Balfour, the .British foreign secro-- ;tary, amplifying the note of the En--;jtente sent from Pars jn replyto-- , the- - peace note of Prcst--
dent Wilson,, was handed yester--day to the State department by the
' British ambassador, Sir .CecilSpring-Ric- e. j
The new note, which deals morespecifically with, the suggestion "of
' the President that a 'world'sleague to enforce peace should be
' formed at the conclusion of thewar, (takes the position that mereinternational treaties will guar--"antee nothing so long as there ex- -,

. relative to the suggestion , by the';'.' President that "peace may be near- -
er than we syppose." ,
. Continuing, Mr. Balfour wrote :
?So Jong as Germany remains the.Germany which .overran and bar-barously the country it
. was speecifically pledged to .defendthere can be no security placed in I
the merman agreement ot peace.. "While Germany shows this .cal-
lous regard for her treaties,no state and no regard for. rightcan be secured without some betterprotection Jban a treaty, however,solemnly entered into."
i The note asserts that Belgium is,not the only victim of the German
' reign of terror, which is the Ger-man method of making war.
. treat Britain, says the Britishforeign secretary, desires peace,Jbut it .does not believe that anypeace .secured at the present timewould be a durable peace "unless
, .the aggressive aims of the CentralPowers can be called into disreputeamong their own people and unlessthe existing causes of internationalunrest may be removed or mater-ially weakened.
, "Behind international law andtreaties must be some form of in-
ternational sanction, devised to givepause to the hardiest aggressor.
"The expulsion of the Ottomansfrom Europe will be as much a con-- "
tribution towards ' the i permanentpeace of Europe as will the restora-tion of Alsace-I-orrai- ne to France
, oraoy .other of the territorialchanges indicated in the Allies'note.".
- Germany stood aloof while theUnited States and Great Britaintried by treaties to make sure thatno ' quarrel should be allowed todeveloped to mar the peiice whichloth .nations desired to make per-manent, the British secretary re-
minds the State department, and atthe tame time the German histor-ians were preaching the splendors

Belgium today stands not somuch as a victim of war as an ex-

increase, the interest in the probable reorganizationof the house at Washington also increases. So farneither party is willing to admit that the other willbe in control, and the figures of the roll on divisionby party lines show very plainly why neither is say-
ing a great deal of its own chances of electing theSpeaker.
At the present time a contest for one of the NewJersey seats is being fought out, with the indica-tions that the Democrat, Representative Scully,will be declared elected. Should he be the winnerit will leave the Democrats and the Republicanstied, with 215 votes each, with the control in thehands of the five independents.
The so-call- ed independents represent variousshades of political opinion, and their alignment willelect the, next Speaker and .'organize the house.This small but powerful group includes Randall,of California, a Prohibitionist, who is a Democratin his tendencies; Schall, of Minnesota, Progres-sive who sits with Republicans in the presenthouse; Martin, of Louisiana, Protectionist, whodefeated a Democrat and received Republican sup-
port; ) Fuller, of Massachusetts,. Independent;London, of New York, Socialist, who sits withthe Democrats during the present congress. It issaid the Democratic leaders are counting stronglyupon votes of Martin, Randall and London.
The complexion of the h6use rnay W changedafter organization, for a dozen or more contestswill be brought.
.The Democrats possess one advantage in thepreorganization campaign. There is no insurgen-cy in Democratic ranks and the party will line upsolidly behind Speaker Clark. The Mann-Len-ro- ot
contest, precipitated by the refusal of Gard-ner, of Massachusetts to support the present min-
ority leader for the speakership, now embarrassesthe Republicans'.

Hawaii gets ruffled up oyer thishasten to add that the authors of
were each one voted down bythe senate majority; when the various exclusionamendments to the bill were .determined in thesenate committee on immigration V. V
The debate on the bill lasted for many days, andHawaii and its population figured frequently in thedeliberations -- always as the horrible example. OnDecember 12, a fairly representative 'day in thejenate, the Congressional Record furnishes the quo-
tations used below. ' 4,On that day, Hardwick of Georgia opened the de-
bate in support of the Immigration Bill, which hehoped, he said, would "be written on our statutebooks, with the Executive's; approval, I hope;without it, if must be." Hardwick' outlined hisgeneral views in this statement: ; , :
Mr. President, I do not know that Other senators willagree with me; I do not know that a majority of mycolleagues even oa this tide of the chamber will indorsethe statement that I am about to make; but X de nothesitats to say, measuring my words, with full respon-sibility for them, that H I could have my way I would
' write ia plain, uavaralsbed, and unmistakable languageinto the American statutes that no immigrants couldcome to these shores Who were not of pure Caucasianblood, because, nfter all, when all la said and all iadone, this country is tha whita man's country, dedicat
'ad to his civilisation and goveraed by bis laws; andwhile I would not treat with injustice tha humblest (
citixen of any race within our borders, I do, ,not seewhy we should admit yellow men, brown men, or black
' men into this country to add to tha confusion that we. already have. It seeme to ma that tha sound; policy,
the safe policy, tha wise policy would be t4t admit'Caucasian immigrants only.
The particular point being debated was n. amend-ment by Reed of Missouri, including amongst thoseexcluded "natives of Africa except persons of thewhite race." The debate shifted upon the Portu-guese islands off the African coast, whereuponReed offered this further amendment t, "Also allpersons, except white persons, from the West In-
dies 'and the".Cape' 'Verde and , Azorei. Islands'."
Apropos of this, the Missourian stated (''.:The amendment that I now' propose eaa not be brush- -
ed aside, aa was the ana just voted upon, on the ground '
that there ia no immigration coming from these eoun-- . '
tries. There has been a total immigration from themia the last fifteen years of 87,931, and that immigra-tion seems to be steady aad continuous. - :
It will be admitted by every candid man that thamost uadeairable immigration to this eountry today'from any place on earth la from these islands, and Iehallege any man ia the senate to dispute tha facta class of people who ia their morale,, ia their ideaaof government, in all thoaa things that make for eiti-- '
senahip, good or bad, is eoming to this eountry fromthese islands that is tha lowest, the most vicious eom-- :ing to our eountry from any spot or spots of earth.This brought up the question of excluding' the
black citizens of Cuba and .the possibility of Cu-
ban retaliation, something' Reed did not think wasto be bothered oyer. Responding to Senator GaKlinger, who defended the Cubans, Reed said :- - J
The government of Cuba is standing today becausethe United States government is propping it up, ' Cuba,'could not exist as aa independent' nation twenty-fou- r
hours without the assistance af the federal govern .a. 1 l . . , . . .... n . ..mem.- - inir Tiguis are ecureq vj treaty wiin unoa. a

Then the debaters shifted Inim thej.westcoast of ,Africa to the ast coast of sAsia) thisamendment to enlarge the excluded racesxomingup : ''Persons who are . native of the islands ad-
jacent to the Continent of Asia. 'OThis is where the Filipino started to get-hi- s

.
Mr. President before, that amendment is acted uponI desire to call tha atteatioa af the senator from Mis-- .souri to a decision of the Supreme Court, with winchI presume he ia familiar, and which I think wouldapply in this ease. The decision of the Supreme Court '
in Oonsales against Williams, One hundred and ninetysecond United Ststes Reports, page 1, is to the effectthat eitiaens ot tha iasular possessions of the UnitedStates, while not citisene of this country in the fulland complete sense, are not aliens within the meaaingof our immigration laws. The person involved in thatease was a Porto Biean, but, of course, a PhilippineIslander is in the same category.
In view of that decision, if this amendment passes,I do not know what'its effect may he in reference tothe Philippine Islands; but it seems to me that, so longas that decision atandi, Filipinos would be quasi-rlti- - '
sens and be entitled to all the .rights and privileges ofcitizenship,' so far as that decision would guaranteethem. -

EmmaKealohA. who Is fourteen years eld, andAlice Keona, also fourteen, were bothcommitted to the reform school at Uonolulu.
"Something must suiely be done totry aad remedy this condition or af-fairs, '.' rraearKed the . judge emphatic-ally when the. stories of the girls badbeen told.
In the case of Emma she acknowledged to several Filipino lovera, butthe others would only accuse one eachAll the girls were brought Into court byDeputy, Sheriff W. J. Kickard, of Hamakua. It was remarked that probablysimilar conditions prevailed in otherdistricts, but nothing has been dona tobring th eaaea into eonrt. .
, According to the stories of the girlsand corroborated in many respects, theparents of the girl and the girls them-selves are a match to blame as theyoung men. . In the case of Amoy themother stated that aha had otfen takenher daugnter to Filipino dances and badreceived as much as $3 in one night byhiring her young, daughter out aa adance partner.
In the other eaaea the parents annarently did not object to the men callingupon their daughters. Judge (Juinnstated to the mother of Amoy that ifhe had the authority be would ratherpunish her (ban either the girl or theboy. Later in tbe day Joba uarcia pleaded guilty to being responsiblefor Amoy's condition and was fined

A suggestion waa made in the juvenile court to the effect that the truantofficers in each district be made to acfor the prelection of school girls andthat where children live at aeme dietance from the schools the truant offieer oryaniim a group in charge of oneof the older children to proceed to andfrom school together.
In connection with many of the easesof young girls whieh have eome to theattention of the juvenile, court eonditions have been such that members ofthe juvenile court commission are con- -
.viaoeir that there ahould be an amendment to the laws governing tbe proteetion of girls and something done to pro-tect them really, Instead of just punisning ineir young1 lovera with Ionterms in prison, while the girla andparents practically go free and unpunisoed.

eclved yesterday from Washington an-nounced tha figures given out by thdepartment of eommeren aa showing adrop in siijrsr eonaiimptron daring 1916that bronght tba total lower than any
' year since 1912.r) Heavy export! and light imports and
a poor American crop are the causes at-tributed by the department of com-
merce. The department figures show aconsumption of 78.13 pounds per capitaduring 1916, against 84.06 pounds for191.V Tha United Htatea consumed7,IXiO,OG0,OOO pounds of sugar, accordtng to the government figures, while theworld production was 37,193,000 000pounds. ..'WiUett Orny riguret

creased consumption of fugar, and re-viewing the situation for the year,WiUett ft Oray 's report states:High Prices Chief Cans
'The decrease In consumption in theH.. la directly attributable to the
. higher prices that have prevailedthroughout the entire year.
''Another- . factor,, almost . as j im-portant in this coaaectioa, was the latestart of the beet harvest ia Ohio, Mich-igan and the Middle West.
"Thia dlay caused by an unfavor-able growing season, precluded the -
; aibiHty of easier prices during Heptem-be- r
to December, and instead of therebeing ample supplies of beet sugar to
' relieve the market, there was only A
limited supply for the Middle Westhud none for territory east of Buffaloand Pittsburgh. These conditions ac-
counted for the sharp advance ia priesduring the . period of Heptcmber-Novembe- r.

BONDISSUEPLANS
That a first class water system, sucha system as it is contemplated to buildwith the money from the bond issue,will materially reduce iasurnnee rates,is one of the reasons advanced by CoL
!0. J. McCsrthy( territorial treasurerinsurance commissioner. or sup- -
porting th bonds.'According to Colonel McCarthy, the
insurance rates will be reduced fromten to twenty per cent on toe comple-tion of the water system. The ratesare fixed by the board of fire under-writers oa points of efficiency in a city'sfire and water departments. As thedepartments are brought to a higherpoint of efli.iency the rates ure auto-matically lowered.
During 1915 the city paid (02,434.14insurance premiums. If the rate is
reduced ten per eent it will be a directsaving to property ownera of ftiUMKH)
annually. If the rate is reduced twen-ty per oentT, the saving win ue $fM,n)annually. It is nut difficult, said Mc-
Carthy, to figure out that the bondissue of MRO.OOfl could be peiri off w
short tim merely by a saving in theinsurance; rate. .uji. i tuKwu .irioy is srrongiy in javorof the bond issue and believe, that thepeppi or wonoiuiu wiy not, jostj-.oi- s

The eomprehensivenesaof tht schememay be appreciated when it is statedthat the .harbor board suggests that itbe mads 'part of a huge project "thattill take In great pnrt of Waikiki,ne'Iuaing the long-talke- of and much-deferre- d
Waikiki reclamation scheme.'' As outlined by Commissioner Wake-field, the beach improvement scheme iadirectly intended to give the generalpublic aa uncontested .right to all thetibech frontage. He brought the mat-- 'ter .dp' ia- - eenuceton with a discussionthai bad arisen concerning what actionthf board - take ' in regard tothose property owners who have builtfences and retaining walla which pre-vent the publie from having free ac-
cess to certain parts of tho beach.' "There is no use going a,t this mat-ter piecemeal," he uid. '.'What wewant to do is to take such action thatpeople can go' up and down the beachwithout feeling that they are trespttss-ing.- "
Eight To Beach Clear r
Commissioner McCar'hy said thatthe question of the riuht to the beachhad been decided' in a comprehensiveopinion by either the supreme court ofNew York or the Supreme Court of theUnited Htates, which held that thebeach below high water mark belongsia! the public. ' '' Under that decision, he said, nil themany bathhouses arid other. St runt ureaat Coney Island were ' ordered torndown and furthermore, they were
- torn down' and the publie beach thatJiao peen usurped by private inilividuals was restored to the publie. Hecould see no reason why the same liecision should pot apply in Hawaii.
Commissioner. Wakefield then outliaed his scheme, which was brief for theTerritory to dredge out the flats nlongKakaako and use the material dredgedto iUl in the swamps of Kakaako fromthe foot of ward Btreet to Fort lie'K ussy, and to condemn a strip of laudfrom twenty o thirty est wiio fromWard Btreet to diamond Uead, and
. construct along that strip a beautifulboulevard whidh should be the property
' of all the people. ' " '
Would Settle Questions 1
"That," he said, "would settle onceand for all questions of fences, wallsand other obstructions. It is some-thing that ought to be done, and 1think thla board should get together onit and get the proposition moving."'
Mr. Wakefield's scheme was so big,that for a moment U made the otherlonitnlnaiooers pause. Then, as theysaw the possibilities, they ' all fell inwith hlra nd agreod that his sugges-tion was ths . right one, (.

While Principal and Others Parry,Look On
A warm scrap over the question ofschool janitors is now the live topic inthe Valley Inland. The Maui News, ofWailuku; of last Friday tells the story:
"Whether or not the larger schoolsof the county, which now have theservices of janitors, shall continue toenjoy this luxury, or whether the teach-ers and pupils' i shall do their ownsweeping out, is the subject of a merrylittle tbree-eornere- 'fight, between Su-
pervising Principal William MeCluaky,School Commissioner D.-..-
' Lindsay,ana the principals of the schools thatwould be affected. The board 'of su-pervisors is.. sitting as referee in thecase. There w ill prubabry be no deci-sion for another month or two, and inthe meantime' janitors will performtheir duties ps of yoie.'' 'Because of the fact that with thepowered tax rate, the fund for schoollutideritalH, including janitor service,is likely ' to be .considerably reducedduring' the year, Principal McCluskyhas Suggested to the supervisors thuthe janitors' , now employed, be alldropped arid the money 'saved be usedto keep. up the. supplies, needed for theschool throughout the county. A por-tion of the money Mr. Mcllusky wouldallow, however, to the principals of theschools to pay students for doing thejanitor work necessary.' " Commissioner Lindsay is strenuoufly opposed to this program. Hewants to keep the janitors, and wouldKo further and place thene factotumuiulnr control of the school principals,which thuv are not at present. Mr.I.imlNB.v has the cordial backing of theprincipals, it is said. A meeting orth" nrineipols yesterday to discuss thesubject Is said to have been warm.; "The aupervixors have taken a standof wsiting for the school people tofight out the matter themselves beforeacting one way 6r the other. The mat-ter' will probably come- - up again atnext month's meeting."
for the reclamation.' of Waikiki as iwhole. He thought Governor I'inkhamas right in saying- - that the Waiklk
reclamation scheme should be under-taken as a whole instead of by units,and he thoupht it should be broadenedto take in the beach project aa well.
Wakefield and Woodward agreedthat the proposal to fill in the Waikikiswamps by means of a ivolvlnc fundwas not the most practicable way ofgoing about it. ' Their Idea was thatthe Territory should condemn all theland that needs reclaiming, and thenan ahead and reclaim it, afterwards reselling it, and thereby reimbursing it- -
seir tor tne uecessary outlay.1Among other matters considered by
the board was the inclusion in itsbudget for the legislature of an appro-priation of HO,000 for a fishermanwharf at Kewalo. Aa explained byCommissioner McCarthy, it is proposedto dredge an entrance through the reetand then dredge out the corner betweenthe Ala Moans, and the Bishop slip,eonstructlnfr ' there a bulkhead wharffor the fishing vessels. This woldgreatly relieve the congestion in theharbor, he said. .
.Wakefield thoujrht this omjht to bincluded in the general beach scheme,and at his suggestion it was reserved,to be taken up wLth the Governor.

The question of danger name up fordiscussion and Mr. Thurston explainedthat while there was always possibledanger of fire or explosions from oiltanks this danger had been reduced toa minimum. As for the matter of "in-
creased insurance for property ownerIn the neighborhood of such tanks, hltouestion, it was decided, should be re-ferred to the board of underwriters."After some further discussion Mr
Thurston suggested that a committee beappointed to look Into the matter enYthis was done, President Vicars laternaming Messrs. Mariner, Filler, HolmesNichols and Castendyk.
At the second special meeting of theboard of trade on Friday afternoon thecommittee submitted its renoirt, signedbr H. B. Mariner, R. W. Filler, E. JlHolmes and . F. Nieliol. but withoutthe signature of C. Castendyk, who re-

Believes Prpposed Issue' '
Bad Precedent
Declaring be believe,! thnt the Im-
provements to the water and sewer sys-tems could be payed for by a raise inthe tax levy, Oenrge W. Hmith, presi-dent of the ehamber of commerce, yes-terday announced that he was opposedto the proponent bond inmie of 4480,000for the iraprovemaats.
"I do not belteve! that it is a goodthing to isaue: bonds, Mrf.'ftntltfc."It would set a bad precedent. I be-
lieve that it would be better to raisethe money for the improvements by anInereaee In the tax rate. Personally 1am in favor of waiting for action bythe legislature. ' The leginlature couldgive us relief by temporarily raisingthe tsxes high enough to pay for theproposed improvements. ", Mr. Hmith did not say that he wasopposed to the improvements them-selves, but to the means of raising thenecessary funds to earry them on. Hisopinion was. a purely permmal one andarrived at after giving the subjectconsiderable study.
