An Embarrassing Moment.

American officers shown in the photograph published in The

officer in question. However there faux pas at
Schofield Thursday that really nexcusable Il is
funny to think of but decidedly embarrassing at the
time. t3h
Colonel McGnnnege post commander and the officers of
the First Infantry had proved themselves No hosts at
their clubhouse for the visiting Brtshers and the others
who present from Honolulu splendid review,
and the American. entente and apparent
Captain Halsey and his enjoying themselves and
it very evident that the officers of the harracks and
from the Honolulu posts having Just as good time
in giving the glad hand. 1t happy party in which
various situations discussed and dates made between
the fighting of the two nations to next in the City
of Mexico Then Captain asey shook hands with Colonel
Mctfunnegle and the visitors sreamed out to take their
autos for their ship.
In the meanwhile band of the Twenty fifth was doing
itself proud the plot before the clubhouse, with
agme and other appropriate airs. just Captain Halsey
climbed aboard his machine the bandnaser gave signal
and the musicians broke into God Save the King In
flash every Britsher drew at attention and British hand
went TO every British helmet in salute. Captain Hasey
standing erect in his auto, made conspicuous figure
majority of the Americans took off their caps and also stood
attention.
Then the British national anthem the
band swung without an intervening breath into The Girl
Left Behind Me The look of shocked bewdement that
passed those British countenances marvellous to
watch and there perceptibe shock in the air Down
came the sautng hands but this period the band crashed
back into God Save the King and back the salute
the air had atenated back to the jig for the second time
when the bandmaster caught eye and the
tfailed away into silence.
For few seconds spoke then American officer
broke the senceby deep throated remark that the band
had Just given little of your national air and little of
ours. This explanation passed unqnesioned by the
raising OF British eyebrow, but have my doubts about
what the visitors said each other when back under the
iTshelter of their own twelvenchers
1t strikes that there ought to be regulation about
the playing of national airs especially such occasion
The bandmaster doing his best have doubt and
had idea of causing any embarrassment but he had
observed the same rule about inerlaring the British air
with other music in force about mixing 'The Star
Spanged Banner with ragtme evee airs the nasty
little hitch of the Schofeld visit would have been avoided

Wilson and His Appointments
You will have noticed that have yet attempted to
solve Hawaii governorship mystery will now place
small bet Prof William A. Bryan for two reasons
The first is because the Democratic party Hawaii needs
zooogs at the head of it. My second reason is divided
into five parts or many parts President Wilson has
made appointments to governorsips foreign dplo
matte posts Dividing my into its component parts
| / then have the following:
~ j. f. A. Strong, governor of Alaska; an editor
and writer

Eyer soldier and politician, member of ten exclusive clubs
Tothese might add, if real vindictive
biant literary and scholars who offered

President Wilson actually nominating him If Pinkham

the majority are Japanese the who has tried
to create anJapanese sentiment in Hawaii and who has
