ZERO HOUR IS SET FOR U. S. DRIVE TO INCREASE DEFENSE
Citizen Need Enlightenment j Regarding Menacing Dan- ! gers, Secy Weeks Avers. WASHINGTON. D. C-. July 29. (By I. X. S. ) With the zero hour al- j re-idy set, th American Army pre- ' parir.g to go oer the top. j There has been no declaration of; war by Congress, but the Hardin j administration has approved the j campaign the war department has j embarked upon, and Fec'y Weeks is j determined to "carry on" till the j enemy hoists the white flag of defeat. Casualties there may be in thus newest war, but fatalities are unlike-1 '.y. fur the attackers will employ nor j niU's nor machine guns, but pub-j licity. not shrapnel nor high ex-j plosives, but facts. j The opening guns already have been fired.

UnrrM Threatens Government. In the unrest following the war Sec'y Weeks and Gen. Pershing see what they believe to be a danger not to the army alone, but to American governmental institutions - generally, and Sec'y Wainwright In his mose recent public utterances Is even more out-spoken. "In oome ways these times are as critical for the future cf our republic as those of 1317 and 1918." he declared, speaking for the administration. "We have our enemies, although they do not wear a distinctive uniform. They attack from, within instead of without.' Innumerable "Isms" have sprung up throughout the country since the ureat war, Wainwright believes, which have as an objective the destruction of Americanism, "to which Ye owe all that we possess as a nation." "Groups of peoples and classes are organizing for every kind or purpose except a patriotic and national one." he continued. "Insidious propaganda is being directed against all the fundamentals of our government. The most pernicious of all are those wh are striving to substitute Internationalism for na tionalism. They would destroy from within what no enemy haa ever been able to do from without our ideals of government, constitution, institutions, liberties and leadership in the world.' Pacifists TLarinl Dangcron. "The pacifists, who are sleltn during the war and missing from the rfinks of our defenders, would destroy our Instruments of defense the army and navy and render ns a weakling among the nations without Influence or prestige In the world's affairs. These Internationalists and paciflsts, working together and In mnrt instances the i-ame people are even trying to Induce oyr youths to foreswear allegiance to our flag and refuse to defend It. If such are not enemies, then who is?" The?e views are In effect those of Sec'y Weeks, Gen. Persuing, and in fact all those connected with the national defense branch of the administration. Feeling thus. thee -high otticials hive embarked upon a campaign of education In Americanism that Is, an explanation of American forms of government, the dungers which menace them, and the relation of the army and the navy to American institutions. They believe the public does not realize the two military services have a distinct place in American political economy, and are attempting a new type of national preparedness campaign designed to educate the public to such a realization. Says luhliclty Is Necessary. Tho process of arousing public attention to these purely publlo questions is of necessity, Mr. Weeks believes, a long: one and the year that will elapse before the size of the army again becomes a current political issue will no more than sutllce to lay the ground-work of understanding. Weeks and his assistants make no secret of their feelings that drastic cuts in the army establishment by congress this year have seriously menaced the 'success of the military policy enacted by congress in 1920. They do not believe publio sentiment demanded any such reduction as was ordered. The average voter, Weeks holds, and even the average member of congress, cannot underfltanJ the highly techinical questions involved In ihe peace-time organization of an array without special attention to the Eubject. The only men who do know, for instance, what happened in France from a technical point of view and why American losses were heavy In one action and comparatively l:ght In another are the army officers, who have mad? these matters their life study. It waa for this reason that Mr. Weeks directed the ban on public discussion of technical military questions by Army officers be raised and that the trained military men be encouraged to explain tc the public what the army and the war department Is all about. The secretary" now is carrying his I program a etep further and himself unaeriaKing tnis puDiic explanation with the aid of the highest officers of the- army, and Iookü upon this work as In no iense a militaristic propaganda, but a simple qut-stion of popular education in the A.

FRANCE SURPRISED AT PROHIBITION IN
U. S. SAYS EXPERT Dryness Not Cause of Increated Uc of Dope, Says Man Tho Investigated. PARIS. July 23. (By I.N. S.) "The accusatlcn of American 'wets' that prohibition Is responsible for the increase of the drug habit In America ie extremely exaggerated. If not totally unfounded," is the decision of M. Ernest Guy. former attache of the l-"rench High Commission to America during th war. who has completed an Investigation of prohibition In the United States In the interest of th wine exporters of Prar.ce. "The ir.crc-as of the drug bablt Is general over the world, and that includes th non-prohibition countries. It has Increased in the f-ame proportions in England and France. It Is a part of a German plan to flood the world with th drusrs they manufacture." M. Guy, who is frankly Interested in seeking a solution to the stagnation of the French wine industry and trying to find a means for opening up the vineyards' former markets. 5truck another blowit the traditional arguments of the wets when he declared that his investigation convinced him that the crime wave sweeping over American cities has no connection with the liquor question. The same phenomenon has been seen in Europe also he declares, and Is one of the expectable after effects of the wax. Kxorleriors of Foreigner. "The firet effect a foreigner experiences upon arrrvlng In America Is a feeling of admiration for the great courage of America in attempting the great social experiment of prohibition. But I can't say I was converted to prohibition by what I saw. To the average American the difference between America today and pre-prohibition days is probably not so striking as It is to a foreigner, for the change has been more or less gradual. Rut for a foreigner, accustomed to the thought of lawabiding America, to find the average citizen .who Is of the s.taMe class thxtt is. the bulwark of the nation to find him, as I say. in the new attitude of trying- to beat the law, to break the law, Is quite disappointing to our ideals of America. "The abolition of the faloon, however, if nothing else, alone quite Justifies prohibition. If I. who believe in light wines and beers, were f?iven the choice of accepting either total prohibition or of returning to the old system. I would unhesitatingly choose total prohibition. Rut fortunately this isn't necessary. The difficulty is that a decision must be made." M. Guy report to the wine inter

AMERICAN BO RI' JAPS REFUSE TO SERVE L Oil A COUNTRY'S ARMY HONOLULU, T. H., July -S. Ertai.ing precedents of long hand ling by openly and defiantly refusing ) to obey an army concr!ptlon sunv- ) mor.s issued by the Japanese govj eminent, two Am.erican-born Jap- ; anese living on the Island of Kauai have declared themselves to be American citizens and not subject to orders of the Japanese government, according to a story published in Kauai himpo. a Japanese-language paper, of the district in which the two Japanese live. " The conscription summons was served on the two Japanese by a Buddhist priest, acting as agent for the Japanese Consulate at Honolulu. One of the men told the priest that he was "an American citizen and not subject to serve in the Japanese army." The other simply tore up the summons. The incident Is looked upon as significant of the attitude being taken by the younger generation of Japanese in the Islands, who are thought to be drifting away from the influence of their government. ow:n5 to Americanizing influences with which they are surrounded.

Ralph S. Kuykendall, formerly connected with Leland Stanford university, will be in direct charge of the work of assembling and compiling data for the new history. The work will present many difficulties, owing to the fact that prior to one hundred years ago the Hawaiian people had no written ianguape and much lata must be gathered from stories and leprends handed down by word of mouth.
