There viii be no loafing during any

National Guard Of Hawaii are in the

cises given out yesterday bv Col .John
". Jones are followed The maneuvers,
which viii be the most elaborate yet
attempted by the national guard in this
Territory, will begin about July 25.
Though the members Of the militia
are already planning and taking much
interest In the coming outing, there
is some doubt as TO whether they will
be able to muster their full strength
in the field. Colonel Jones, however,
believes that there will be a full repre-
sentation. Nearly all of the members
of the nine companies Of militia sta
toned in Honolulu are employed in
different branches of business and their
going depends upon whether their en-
pldyers will. grant them the necessary
five days vacation.
Two companies from Maui and ono
from Hawaii, together with the hospital
corps of Honolulu 70 to make up the
regiment, which has total strength of
about 875 officers and men. During the
outing the privates will receive wages
at the rate of fifty cents per day, the
wages Of on-commissioned officers rang
ing as high as $l.5O per day. This
viii be paid by the federal government
provided each company musters total
strength of thifty-eight men and two
officers The Territory viii add to this
scale Of wages a sum sufficient TO bring
the total for each man up to two dollars
per day.
The camp of instruction win be in
charge of Lieut.. VIM. @. Whitener of
the Twenty Fifth Infantry. Following is
