numbering about $50 people is ex-
pected.

Rico, who has been in charge of re-
cruiting this help for service in the
Hawaiian islands, is not very sansu. ne
over the future possibilities of getting

Dor in Porto Rica is becoming greater
every day and in addition to the de-
mand of the Hawaiian sugar inter-
ests for help, Cuba and Ecuador are
offering Inducements TO the Porto
Ricans to go 10 those countries. The
great distance OF Hawaii renders those
other countries far more acceptable.
