THE BOARD OF HEALTH AND
THE ARMY.

The relations Of the army in occu-
patton here, with our Board of Health,
is an excellent illustration Of the inn
perfect way that public business Is
usually executed everywhere. 1t is not
exceptional here. There Is no occasion,
at present. TO criticise either the army
or the Board. They are now, We be-
lieve working in harmony.
We have "A remarkably efficient Board
of Health, and We are proud of it, be-
cause 1t has acted in emergencies, with
intelligent energy.
Our Board, like all other Boards of
Health has supreme control in health
matters. The army here, as elsewhere,
must obey its orders, unless martial
law exists. Boards of Health are re-
sponsible for the general sanitary con-
ditions OF a place, and even the mill
tary authorities cannot put the health
OF the people in jeopardy. The civil
law is the law OF the land.
when the troops landed here in July
last. the care OF their health rested
primarily with the medical stan.
Theoretically, the stan possess the
knowledge of the best methods of pre-
serving the health of the men, and have
the means at their command.
When the troops went into camps,
In a strange land, wise forethought
would have brought the medical staff
into close cooperation with the Board
OF Health, in n common cause, that is,
the preservation OF the health of SOL
der and civilian alike,
As a matter of fact they stood apart
for nearly four months. The Board
OF Health was reluctant to interfere
with the work and methods of the
military authorities. Such Interference
Is usually resented and 1t was feared
in this case that 1t would be reported
TO the Mainland as an "unwarranted
presumption" Nor did the special
agent OF the Washington Government
recognize the obligation OF any duty
on his part in the premises, The Board
itself did not seem to be aware OF its
own large powers.
On the other hand, the Medical stan

Members and organizations of the
community are being deluged with re-
quests from abroad for information
requests from all kinds of people about
all manner of subjects, relating to Ha-
wall.
These requests have become 80 num-
erous that the time necessary to an

mounts up rapidly.
There is no printed matter available
to NEE. Inc varied questions asked, at
any price, and that which partially
meets the necessity, Is high priced.
In response to the demand for cheap
and full information to be sent abroad,
the Advertiser will issue on Saturday
tomorrow, a sixteen page illustrated
paper. four pages of which will be de-
voted exclusively to information which,
II is believed, will answer almost, II

cept the writing OF the address, while
the Information conveyed will be far
fuller than could possibly be contained

should send in the order Immediately
