ARGENTINE SAILORS MAKE GOOD IMPRESSION
Nearly All Those on the
Training Ship Speak
English.

Instruction in the English language
| the Argentine government can boast
/ of in it's navy, and the results may be
observed aboard the Argentine training
ship Presidente Sarmiento, now in Ho-
| nolulu harbor. Almost every officer on
| the vessel speaks English huently. The
| cadets are also rapidly mastering the
language. In fact, some of the officers
speak with so little accent that they
would hardly be taken for Latins.
Much of their fiuency in Anglo
Saxon is due to the Professor of Eng
lish, Mr.. Tomas C.. Dennehy, tall
imposing man of fiorid complexion
looking like a typical well-to-do, jolly
New Yorker of Irish descent. That he
is an Argentine would be scarcely be-
lieved did he not confirm this fact
Mr.. Dennehy's mother was of Argen-
tine birth. while his father was Irish.
He was educated in England, but his
English is Americanized and he likes
the colloquialisms of the American
cities. All matters of linguistic red
tape are referred to Mr.. Dennehy and
he cuts it to suit. Matters of naviga-
ton which need to be translated from
Spanish into English and vice versa
.are hi,

''''"' WANT ii ASK
MARK twain
TO COME
Would Honor the Great
sWriter as Guest of
the Territory.

Mark Twain may shortly be given
an invitation to become the guest of
the people of the Hawaiian Islands.
The suggestion comes from the Ha-
waii Promotion Committee and will be
presented TO the trustees of the Cham
Der of Commerce by a representative
of the promotion bureau for early
action. The Promotion Committee has
faith in the mercantile organization
that the suggestion will meet with
unanimous favor and that the invita-
tion viii be forwarded to the humor-
ist at no distant day
E. I. SpaIding referred to Mark
Twain as a man whose writings on
Hawaii had been widely read and the
further fact that these same writings
are being used to the best advantage
today by the Promotion Committee in
inducing the tide of travel to venture
out into the Pacific and take in the
Hawaiian Islands.
The Promotion Committee believes
that Mark Twain VIII feel that he
should revisit Hawaii. 1t was just
after his experiences In the Nevada
mining camps that he came to Hawaii,
and stored up vast amount of infor-
nation concerning the islands which
he placed before the world clothed in
his ininitable humor. He saw humor
in everything, but he lapsed at times
into prose and his prose poem on
Hawaii is now widely used in promo
and most beautiful descriptions ever
penned.
