- - ~ .S~S " - S..

A father came to Honolulu all the
way from Kansas City, Missouri, the
other day, to locate his son among the
marines at Camp Very. with the inten-
ton of proceeding through the proper
channels to get him out of the service.
The young man, now twenty-four years
against the wishes of his parents.
When the father learned that the ma
rines had been taken off the warships
and assigned to land duty, almost on a
par with the men of the army, he de-
cided that his son should be put back
into civil life. He did not quite like
the idea Of the young man spending a
couple of years or a sand reef such as
Camp Very was supposed to be. He has
found since his arrival here that Camp
Very is an attractive garrison, well
equipped to keep the marines in good
health, well Differed and above all
possessing an esprit du corps which has
been proverbiai among the marines
since their organization. However, he
came out hereto purchase his son s re-
lease and take him back home to Mis-
souri,, and no doubt the young man will
shortly cease to be khaki-clad marine
and sail homeward to start life again
in some other capacity.

have had several Quarrels with other
negroes and no doubt the proper in

Information obtainable, the negro
killed was no doubt turbulent
character, still il such assassinations
are allowed to go unnoticed, the per-
