There was another big, bad soldier
raid up Manoa valley yesterday morn
ing. over a hundred uniformed men
from the park were up there and lit
orally devastated a large section Of the
valley of its fruits.
The victims of Uncle Sans sOldiery
were in all cases Chinese fruit gard
eners. The marauders entered garden
after garden IN overpOwering numbers
and denuded them Of fruit. UnTipe
pineapples We're cut along with ripe
fruit and hacked 10 pieces with knives;
young watermeI0ns were torn from the
vines and IuChlessly sJreWn along the
highways.
In. some instances the Chinese gard
eners told the soldiers they might take
all the ripe fruit they required, but
pleaded with them to spare the young
pineapples and WatermelOus. The en-
treaty fell on deaf ears.
The raid was reported at once to
police headquarters. Capt Spillner
and several mounted patroImen hur-
ried to the scene. Marshal Brown and
Minister Cooper arrived a short time
later. When the police appeared the
soldiers left the gardens, but continued
eating and hacking up fruit along the
roadway. The despOiiers were seen by
the police, Minister Cooper and the
Marshal An official complaint from
the Government will be lodged with
Gen. Merriam today, giving the num-

over the actions Of the soldiers. The
farmers are heartbrOken to see in a
