The military establishment in Hawaii
is already department, but with the
stationing of other regiments and
forces for the manning of the Coast
Notifications. the department stands a
chance of being raised at an carly date
to division status.
1t is believed that the quartermaster
corps will be able to provide shelter for
the coast artillery should the two COM
panies arrive next month, and while the
department might be put to some strain
on its resources should the Twenty
fifth Infantry regiment arrive during
the same month, the quarteTmaster
corps could make good.
