Armory Arguments. s..... ....
After Captain Shuttleworth had
made his inspection, the militia here
was given a regularly detailed army
officer as Observation-Disclosures. in the
person of Cautain W. II. Johnson, now
of the Second Infantry. Captain John
son was with the guard about fourteen
months. and was then ordered back to
the line. The reports which he sent
TO the division of militia affairs were
very optimistic at first, but as time
went on they cooled down consider
ably. although throughout his official
correspondence the inspector-instruc-
tor points cut the need of an armory
before real results can be expected
IRON the guard.
Following are excerpts from some
of Captain Johnson's reports:
Dec. 81. 1911-"Once an armory is
constructed and service in the militia
made more attractive, more can be re-
quired of the officers and men,"
'sThe Armory is the thing We must
have here before We can expect any
big results"
March 81, 1912-"While conditions
remain as they are as far as the ar
mory and the personnel of the guard
are concerned, but little actual pro-
gress can be made. 1t is true that
the officers and non-commissioned of
ficers are learning something relative
10 their military work all the time.
That is Of course progress IN wa.
but real progress toward obtaining
what is wanted will not be made until
the armory is built.
4 am sure that the armory Will be
built soon. After that is an assured
fact, hope 10 be able to render re-
PORTS showing more progress. The
material is here and under anything
like fair conditions the organized mill
tia of Hawaii will improve rapidly
June 30, 1912.-"With the compile
ton of the new arrnory it is now al
most an assured fact that several new
organizations will be added to the
guard. There are two companies at
! least which will be organized. from
the best material One from white
men, nearly all of whom are ex-reguiar
soldiers who are working in this city
and are only waiting for the compile
ton of the armory to organize: and
one from the graduates of the Kane
hameha military school who are also
waiting for the same thing. - All
told the prospects for larger and
more efficient guard in the territory
were never brighter than they are at
present.
