the colonial army is to have organiza.
tions become familiar with the ter.
rain. it is highly unlikely that the war
department will disturb the local gar.
rison as whole. 1t is quite possible,
however. that officers who have serv-
ed full tour here may be ordered to
the Philippines, instead of to contin-
entail United States, and officers with
two years Philippine service take
their places here.
Hawaii has not been considered as
foreign service so far as increased
pay goes for several years, but a tour
here has always counted as a foreign
service tour. II, as seems certain,
Hawaii is to be considered just like
continental United States in future,
all sorts of possibilities are opened

tire time in the army between the
Philippines and Hawaii and never
serve on the mainland at all.
