THEY ARE WITH US
Hawaiian Representatives and
ConsuIs Abroad in Favor
of Booming the
Paradise.
The Bureau of Information Sc
cures Important Allies.

Some time since the Hawaiian
Bureau of Information sent letters
to all the Hawaiian representatives
abroad, asking their cooperation
in forwarding the plans of the Blu
reau. The Foreign Office also sent
a dispatch to the representatives
commencing the work and objects
of the Bureau. The last mail
brought a number of replies, and
more are expected shortly.
All the representatives heard
from express willingness to as
sist in the work of making the ISL
ands more widely known, and
their cooperation will materially
assist in disseminating informa-
ton about Hawaii. The Govern
ment is to be congratulated on hav-
ing a corps of foreign representa-
tives who take such lively
interest in Hawaiian affairs.
AS the news of the important
governmental changes goes abroad,
a burning desire will be awakened
to obtain information from the
mid-ocean Paradise. Mr.. Thurs
ton said, just prior to his boarding
the Claudine, that it would be an
excellent plan to prepare large
number of leaflets for distribution
in the States, as the public will
soon seize with avidity upon any
matter relating to the Islands.
When the public mind is directed
towards this country it will be an
excellent opportunity to advertise
our tourist attractions.
The following Hawaiian repre-
sentatives abroad have communi-
Gated with the secretary of the
Bureau of Information, and cordi-
ally expressed a willingness to
assist in carrying out the objects
of the bureau:
