NO DESERTERS FROM
NAVY DURING WAR

WASHINGTON, July S.-AdmiraI
Brownson, chief of the Bureau of Navi-
CATION of the Navy Department, said
today he was satisfied that the Japan
csc Admiral, Sakamoto, who was re-
ported in the Hochi, a japanese anti
paper, to have question
ed the patriotism of American naval
crews, and the ability of the American
naval officers, has been misquoted.
Said Admiral Brownson: while
spurred on by a spirit of unrest or
Inconsistencies, sailors have sometimes
left the American Navy, but they have
always done so in time of peace. There
Is no record of a blue jacket deserving
in time of war"
At the Japanese Embassy the officers
discredited the reported utterances of
Admiral Sakamoto. Masaio Hanfhara.
the second secretary, expressed his
strong belief that the Admiral had not
given voice TO any such utterances as
those printed, and that if he spoke
about the matter at all he has been
badly misquoted. Such alleged sentf-
nents by the Admiral, he declared,
were absurd and nonsensicaI and the
publication was very much deprecated.

him down with considerable force on

sent to the hospital. The trusty was
taken to the police station and the

THE CLIMATE OF HAWAII
Continued from Page Five.)

From November to February there
| is generally little rain; only a delight
! full Indian summer, when fruits ripen
on the bOugh.
With the summer rain comes and
gives an impetus to plant growth, as
pronounced as that of spring in the
temperate zone. The deciduous trees
clothe themselves in abundant green
and the usual summer fruits blossom
and bear.
Rain falls only in the afternoon and
night; the morning can be counted on
for work or visiting. You may arrange
for your lawn party or Fourth of July
picnic year ahead and not be dis
appointed.

never any mud or dust. The roads are

Az esteemed contemporary says that
80 per cent. of the school books of the
State are now furnished by the Ameri-
can Book Company, and gives that as
reason for State Uniformity. This
leaves only 10 per cent not already IN
uniformity. Therefore uniformity is
not what the advocates of State uni
formity want. Shall 80 per cent. of
the peoples money already invested in
school books be killed to enable these
statesmen to obtain something that
does not appear on the surface? We
say not Selling out the rights Of the
counties to select school books for their
own children to save a few pennies Is
/ like Esau selling his birth-right for a

uniformity, the question resolves itself
into the question of selling the liberties

ceedingly small consideration. You
