LEGISLATION
FOR THE ARMY

Local Officers Much Interested
; In Statements of Senator
Warren Last Night

There Is much interest in local army
circles over the statement as to fu.
tire military legislation. made by Sen.
ator Warren OF Wyoming at a dinner
given at San Francisco last night, to
the congressional party that is en-
route to Hawaii. Senator Warren,
who is an influential member of thu
committee on military affairs, said in
Fart:
F The new military bill to be intro.
duced at the coming session OF Con-
gress will provide for shorter enlist
sments and will permit officers to re:
tire on a small allowance, subject to
"a call to the colors."
Nothing of this proposed scheme Isl
known here, but 1t has afforded a wide
field for speculation and comment. 1t
seems to be the consensus OF opinion
that the next Congress will do some
thing with the army.
"All over the country since the Euro
.pean war, the pacificists have been
swinging to the side of a reasonable
defense, as the very best guaranteed
of peace" said a prominent officer to.

THAT
HAWAIFS PART
IN FAIR SMALL
J. w. WaIdron PeSSimiStic on
Exposition But Optimistic
on Sugar

Fnthralled almost beyond expression
with the Panama.Pacifc exposition,
hut disgusted that's the word he uses
with Hawaii's part in the mighty
fair, J. w Waldron, treasurer OF F. A.
Schaefer L. Co., Ltd. returned home in
the Matsonia this morning.
MIR. Waldron brings back optimistic
Jews relative to the chance Hawaii
nas Of escaping the calamity OF free
Agar.
The. exposition surpassed my most
imaginative expectations, Mr.. Valid
ron said this afternoon. Its layout
and buildings are magnificent in the
full sense of the term. With the ideal
location the splendid architecture. the
artistic features, the night illumina.
grandeur and beauty. It IS entirely
worthy OF the great city that con.
ceived and constructed il.
AT the same time was greatly dis.
appointed with the showing Hawaii
makes at the exposition. Yes, the at.
tendance at the Hawaii building con.
tinues good. The fish are the great
attraction. They lose their brilliancy
Of color soon, however. and have to be
replenished often. Visitors stood in
front Of the tanks six feet deep when
was there.
Besides the fish, though. there is
little in the Hawaiian building to be
proud of. In fact, ! rather felt dis
gusted at the lack of attractions and
the absence Of anything adequately ad.
vertisfng the territory for either bust.
ness or pleasure.
There is plaster representation
OF the beach at Waikiki, but the space
IL occupies would better have been
left blank so poor is the effect. Then
there Is one side of the Pail shown
in the same style. Yes, enlarged
copies OF the views by our local pho.
4ographers would have been much
better.
The feeling in San Francisco with
regard to the sugar tariff is quite
hopeful. There is a strong impression
that 'Hawaifs luck is going to stay
with her, and that the protection to
sugar will be retained. 1t is reasoned
that the government will need the rev. |
enue, as the war tax. which has never
been liked, will expire at the end of
the year.
AS far as business conditions at
the coast appeared to me, can only
say that anything like depression was
to find. =
Mr.. Waldron said hB sometimes
bought as many as 20 daily papers in
one day, lured by the flaming head
lines Of war news. "often, however"
he ruefully observed, ''it was impos-
sible to find the news to which the
headings referred. consider that the
Honolulu papers give the war news in
more satisfactory shape than the big
coast dailies. They furnish the sub.
stance Of all that is going"

when the people Of America read
Iof that daily tragedy on European bat

in the ordinary drama. says Klaw.
What plays do get before the public

attention whatever. H.. ~., -. l. ,.
Mr.. Klaw explains that he is just
taking a little side jaunt to the. is

back with the intention Of staying for

my idea of a trip here is to browse
around the islands as ! please with
plenty of time on my hands. Every.
thing seems so pleasant both on the
boat and since arriving in Honolulu.
I found the entertainment arranged
by the Matsoria officers to excel any
on the Atlantic liners" .. ss..s- -
Klaw & Granger, the theatrical
producers, OF which firm Klaw Is the
senior member, have many eompan-
les playing at their various theaters

the most recent successes was Daddy

THE situation Of Hawaii makes 1t
hard to bring frst-class plays here
regularly" said Mr.. Klaw. From
what can read OF the people Of Ho-
nolulu, the white population would
not be satisfied with anything cheap"

F-4 SALvAGEI
AGAIN DELAYED
BY bad WEATHER
Water Too Rough For Divers
to Be Sent DoWn-May
Have to Replace Lines

No salvage work was done on the
sunken submarine this morning. In
fact, those on the job will be well
satisfied IL none of the equipment, car
ries away during the present spell OF
rough weather. There is a nasty sea
running, and a wind that comes in
puffs with a velocity OF about 40
miles makes il unsafe for the tugs to
even come alongside Of the lifting
scows.
1t was hoped that divers could be
sent down this morning to examine
the condition of the three lines still
holding the submarine, but all thought
of underwater exploration was aban-
doned when day broke with conditions
of wind and water no better than yes
terday's. With the scows tossing and
tumbIing and the mess Of wire cables
in imminent danger of giving way, it
would be highly dangerous for any
of the divers to attempt a descent.
The navy men fear that the remain
ing lines are getting badly chafed on
the hull of the F-4. However, even
if they do part. they will not be a
loss, as it is the intention to insert
about IS fathoms OF chain in each
wire, to pass under the sunken boat,
and the present cables will be used.
Two extra cables have also been Sc
cured from the liner Manchuria.
