President Calls America to to Defend Democracy Against German Ruthlessness. Washington April 3 After President Wilson's nil dross, 5 far-tin's hill in the Senate and the Flood Hill in the House declaring that a stale of war exists between Germany and the United States were referred to foreign affairs committees in tiotli brunches. Holh committees met at ten o'clock this morning and decisive action is expected soon. No action has been taken agninr-t Austria but the Senate has not accepted Tarnow the new Austrian ambassador. Washington, April The people of the United States are determined to tolerate no longer the outrages committed by Germany's dastardly methods of warfare.

The President of the United States in his address before Congress pleaded for an immediate declaration of-war against Germany. President Wilson said: "Germany stands as a menace to lie world's peace. "Our rights as Americans, the sons and daughters of men who fought and bled for liberty, are much more precious than peace. "We will fight for democracy and enter into the battle dedicating our lives, our fortunes, in fact everything that we have; to save piotect and honor the principles which gave birth to the American eagle and which brought peace and happiness into the land of Liberty. With God helping her she can do no more.

"This will not be a wai against the German people either in Germany or in the United States, but against the ruthlessness of the German submarine campaign which is the cause of slaving Americans without warning. "This inhuman method of warefare has swept aside every restriction to civilized warfare. It is now a warfare on Germany's part against all mankind. "The United States can no longer submit to the inhuman methods of warfare which is killing our citizens. Therefore we will rise to the support of our sacred rights as a nation standing for liberty.

"Members of Congress, I advise you to exert all of your power in placing this country in a state of defense; recruit the army up to strength of 000,000 men; rush the building of submarine destroyers and carefully guard all lines of invasion and manufacturing plants in our domains. "We will use all our resources to bring Germany to terms of peace. We mrst use our destroyers and dreadnoughts in keeping clear all the lanes of ocean travel whereby supplies can be furnished to the armies of the Allies operating in Europe- and foodstuffs in abundance be sent to the peeple of the Entente powers. "We are now about to gaze into the face of Mars the God of war and perhaps enter into battle with a natural foe. The standards of Liberty will be launched against Prussian autocracy.

"We will conduct our operations whatever they maybe, without mission but with proud punctilio standards have been built upon. "Absolute Hight and Fair Two hazardous motor climbing records for this venr on Kauai, were broken last week bv the Advertiser Pilot Car. The car piloted by Thomas O. Duggan, was driven to the base of Pun Ka Pele and beyond a half mile and to the spillway falls on the Olokele canyon road. This feat was not without numerable difficulties.

Jvquipped with pick and shovels, the party in many places built portions of roadway so that the car could navigate over the washed out stretches to the regular travel road. On the Pun Ka Pele trip the rear wheels of the car were buried on one occasion when the portion of the road collaped. The pick and shovel soon had the cat cleared sufficientlv so that with tremendous pulling power on the part ot the motor the little Dodge car climbed out of the hole back on to the trail. The mileage which was recorded from the mam belt road to the base of Pun Ka Pele was 9.2 miles. At one point near Puu Ka Pele at which the visitor gets his first glimpse of the beautiful Waimea canyon, the car was driven to the edge ot the grassy point and pho togi iphed with the canyon in the backgiouud.

An exceptionally fine scenic effect is teen ft om the top of Puu Ka Pele and with a drive- KAUAI'S SCENIC POINTS REVEALED BY PILOT GAR LIHUE, KAUAI, always observing what the nations way in repair, the trip will be one of the greatest assets as a tourist attraction on the Island. HAZARDOUS CIJ.MB MAD IS In like manner was the trip made up the long hazardous narrow road bordering the Olokele canvon. The road is in remark ably fine condition. A half mile or so below the spillway from Olo kele ditch where the excess water starts on its precipous plung to the bottom or the canvon, the pilot car party went abend to reconoiter for the possibilities of driving farther. From the ditch house it was found that motor travel was closed on account of a foot bridge which spanned a small mountain stream.

The party then set to work and built a road over the ditch and drove the car up to the spillway falls and as evidence to prove their claims, placed the wheels of the car in the fust plunge of water for a photograph.

(Continued on page 6) TERRITORY OF HAWAII, TUESDAY. ROWN CASE NOW A decision in the case of Henry C. Hrown against Henry W.

Kinney, Superintendent of Public Instruction, will be rendered by Judge Dickey early next week. "The only question which re mains to be answered in the mind of Judge Dickey in rendering the decision is: Was there the proper official no tice given Mr. Hrown by the super- itendent of public instruction re lative to the former's discharge and did the proceedings before the de-pnrmcnt of public instructions Au gust li)l(3, constitute a proper hearing? Judge Dickey, it will be remem bered in a recent case, decided in favor of Mr. Hrown. At the request if Attorney General 1.

M. Stain-tack, the ease was reopened and the new hearing was held March 31. Hrown's defense was not put on. Mr. Kinney was suminond from Honolulu, accompanied by Mr.

Stainhack. On the stand, the su perintendent of. public instruction testified that the board had given Mr. Hrown a hearing in Honolulu August 14 and it was at this time that they decided that the charges igainst the Waimea principal were substantiated to such an extent, that they decided that he should be dripped from the staff of the schools. Mr.

Hrown in the present suit begs the court that it order the department of public instruction to reinstate him. Although no inkling is given out as to the expected decision of Judge Dickey, many on Kauai are of the opinion that Mr. Hrown will be reinstated through the order of the court. Senate Balks At Case The following is from the Honolulu Advertiser: Hy inference, the senate voted vesterdav that it was unwise to carry the case of the Browns of Li- hue into the courts, over the head of the superintendent of public in struction. Without a dissenting vote Sen ator Desha's bill No.

61, which proposed to allow a teacher an ap peal to i lie supreme court from a decision of dismissal by the depart ment, was tabled "Under the present system, says the report of the committee, a teacher is employed by the de partnient of public instruction for one year. At the end of that year it is optional with the department whether or not the teacher is to be 'employed again, and if he orslieis i so employed a new contract is is- isued: 1 he contract in eacli instance provides 'a teacher miv be dis missed from the service for a cause, i after a hearing of the case befo the department or authorized agent of the The contract itself therefore recognizes the principle that a person should be dis charged without the chance for a hearing. "As the contract is only from vear to year, if an appeal were allowed to th; supreme court, or a hearing before the supreme court directly, it might result in no decision being reached until tne contract had expired. "For the above reasons the committee recommends that the bill be tabled."

EARING DECISION APRIL 3, 1917 'GUARD BULL ft i BRAND SUCCESS Possibly in no place in the world was gathered so many representatives of the world's racial "melting pot" as was seen at the military ball which marked the formal opening of the Mlnie armory Saturday night.

With the greater part of the world in a turmoil of wars and the United States now on the brink of entering the European conflict, the military bearing of the officers their white uniforms and the khaki clad guardsmen who exhibited the results of careful training gave to the occasion a sense of stern dig nity and forcefullness of power. Music-was in abundance and the manv who motored miles to the affair entered into the spirit of the dance which maiked one ot the biggest successes in military enter tainment yet held on Kauai. One of the striking features was the infonnallitv of the evening's dancea and those who had learned the latest fads in graceful dances and turns were not in a class by themselves. For the elderly couples were not to be outdone bv the vounger in their keeping with modern dance technique, and it was a treat to sec so many couples holding to the regulation two step and waltzes. The armorv was beautifully dec orated and in symmetry of design had the mark of military 'preparedness stamped all over it.

The streamer effect was worked out splendidly and many congratula tions for the earnest and hard work of preparing the hall for the dance was received by Jack Horner and his aides from the guests at the dance. The refreshment booth was kept busy iu the earlier part of the evening when the wind apparently died down and the hall grew trme warm, he ladies who so kindly offered their services as dis- pensois of the refreshments, han died the situation splendidly. the music in its variation, was played and arranged without hitch. The Fourth Regiment band under the leadership of bandmas- Souza, the Kealia Filipino Orchestra and Peter Malina's troup of Hawaiian musicians arranged and delivered their dance renderations with just enough lapsing time to hold the dancers in the spirit of always one more dance The exhibition drills hy two squads from Company and two squads from Company IS under the command of Capt. IS.

Kopke was the event of the evening. The picked company iu their first drill with bayonets unshielded, decipt to just what advantage tfie ritle sword is put in time of actual battle where foe meets foe' hand to hand, With a step and carriage of the company in its second exhibition, marched into the hall with a regularity of alertness and military bearing that gave evidence of perfect instruction, In the close ord drills executed from company front into squad and plantoon formations the crack company moved with the piecision and uni on of the verteran soldier.

(Continued FAYE WENS OUT In a session which lasted about thirty minutes the jury in the cir cuit court returned a verdict in the aye vs.

Knudseu case in favor of II. P. Faye, manager of the Keka-ha Sugar Company at five-thirty o'clock yesterday afternoon. The jury held that all of the land which lies in vicinity of the Waimea district extending from the government road to the sea and which was purchased by Mr. Faye fi-iitii tlifi ninl.i i nct.itn llwl property of Mr.

Faye and that the land which is occupied by the Gai-den Island Honey Company is included in the title of the property which he purchased. It is expected that Attorney Olson, acting for IS. A. Knudsen will note an appeal to the supreme court. The suit which was brought by Mr Faye against the Garden Island Honey Company for action to quite title has aroused a great amount of interest on Kauai.

It involves the strip of land mentioned above on which the Waimea plantation have their stables and a lower stretch on which is located the Garden Island Honey Company The Honey Company have been using a road through the portion of property leased by them from Mr. Knudsen. When the sale of the lands was perfected by Mr. Faye, he closed the road up, claiming that all the property which was occupied by the honey company was included in the sale which took in the private road. Mr.

Knudsen 's claim was that the land was the property of the late Wnldeniar Knudsen who was entitled to the land through adverse i In charging the jury Judge Dickey presented seven forms of verdicts which would suit the rendcrition of a verdict in the" case. Attorneys Alexander I Jndsay and John W. Catheart of Honolulu represented Mr. Faye. Palm Sunday Service Appropriate for the occasion, Lihue Union church was beautifully decorated in palms of many kinds, on Sunday; fresh, and cool and restful.

The music was unusually fine, especialh a solo by Mrs. Ahana. and a verv stirring and melodious anthem, musically as well as verbally descriptive of the triumphal entry into erusalme. IN LAND The Garden IhIuikI Represents. All Knuni.

PER YEAR 5 CENTS PER COPY on page 6) 'S READY FOR ORDERS What will be the duties of the National Guard on Kauai in eent of a declaration of war and an or der of mobilization? This is the question which is being asked in every circle on Kauai today and which is now popular the subject for debate. Although there has been no official information received on Kauai relative to the mobilizing of the National Guard units on this Is iand, there is every probability of an order being received shortly a-fter the formal declaration of war is announced. The majority of the contingents on Kauai are readv to go into the field a monent's notice. Although there is a shortage of equipment owing to inadequate storing facilities until the armorv was built the Hawaiian Department w.iich would command the forces are in a position to equip the guardsmen. It has been reported from the good authority that the Kauai contingents would stand in readiness in the event of mobilization, to move to Honolulu, The regiment as a whole would probably not move but, battalions would be sent into field seivice and act iu cooperation with the regular army on Oahu, When a battalion has been fully trained and prepared for actual service it perphaps would return to Kauai and the home battalions would relieve it on Oahu in the training camp.

It is not likely that a order for sudden mobilization wouid be received here. Time would be perhaps giving for the arranging of commercial affairs so that the present work now' i it operation would not be forced to halt. That much will be expected from the "boys of Kauai" is evidenced in glowing report which was returned by Major Lincoln, inspector of Militia Affairs, following the inspection ot the Kauai regiment, When the troops in Hawaii have been trained for a period and are fully instructed iu camp and field life, it is said in certain circles tlu.t the guard then will be demobilized and ordered to hold themselves In readiness at the call of the commander of the Hawaiian Department. ft GUARD IS.
