MORE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE Ma
TIoNAL GUARD.

Another evidence of the interest of the war
department in the National Guard of Hawaii
is the detailing of Capt. Charles S. lincoln,
End Infantry, U. s. A. as senior Inspector
Instructor of the Hawaiian militia. He will be
commissioned colonel of the guard and will
give his time to the territorial citizen-sodiery.
The plan should be extremely beneficial.
The militia has been greatly helped by the adj
vice, assistance and encouragement. of these
regular army officers detailed for territorial
work. Lieut. A. l.. Bump it was who some
years ago helped give the guard great for
ward impetus at a time when widespread pub
lie movement was necessary to save the organ
ization from one of two -disintegration
or continuance as a perfunctory, hstless, I'M
respected body Of men without proper officer
ing or training. That pioneer work has been
well carried on by others
Capt. Lincoln is declared by his colleagues
to be one of the ablest officers in the army.
He is graduate of both the army school of
the line and the army staff class, and was an
Instructor of the army War College. He is a
veteran of the md Infantry, having been with
this command thirteen and one-half years,
longer than any other of its officers. He will
take up his new duties on January | and will
without doubt make as many stanch admirers
Ia Honolulu IS civilian circles as he has among
his associates Of the army.

THE DERBY PLAN

1.-The man with the idea which saved the
British cabinet is the way diplomats and cor
respondents now refer to Lord Derby, whose
success.in getting British recruits is one of the
sensations Of the hour in Europe.
Dispatches last Saturday told of the ire
nendolis recruiting under the Derby plan, but
there has been little local mentibnSd that plan.
II is described in brief as follows:
Lord Derby has taken the returns of the
Registration of the population, completed last
August which show the age, the condition and
the occupation of every citizen. Each man
Employed in necessary work, that is to say,
necessary from the government point of view,
snch as the manufacture of arms, munitions
and war supplies, was marked with a star.
Every remaining man, that is to say, every un-
starred man of military age, between the ages
Of Is and 45, had his name inscribed on cou-
pie of cards, the one white and the other blue,
and on which various data concerning him
were given The white card was retained by
the general recruiting office and the blue card
was confded to the recruiting committee for
the district These committees, whose work is
purely voluntary, have made canvass of the
unstarled men in their district and by appeal
ing to their patriotism have been able to induce
most of them to sign the cards, in which they.
agree to hold themselves in readiness for; ser.
vice when called for.
The men thus enlisted are divided into forty
six groups, twenty-t three for the unmarried
and twenty for the married, the groups
icing graded according to age, fitness and OBJ
Nous requirements of justice. That is to say,
"a unmarried man without anyone dependent
on him, would be called upon to serve before

MORNING ON 'CHANGE

Olaa, for the first time this year, is
higher than McBryde, the former
having advanced to $8.75 with 'unsat-
isfied bids at that figure at the close,
and the latter having declined from
above 50 to $3.50 bid at close. The
presumed reason for the McBryde de-
cline is that the stock is now ex-
dividend, the second so cent per share
disbursement for the year having
been made on Saturday Two rumors
seem to be responsible for the con-
tinued strength of Olaa, one that a
large block of bonds will be retired,
and another that the shareholders
may get,a Christmas surprise in the
form of a dividend. Honolulu Brew
ing & Mailing and Waialua were the
other market leaders today, each
showing fractional advnces. >.

the blood-stained handkerchief, tore 1t

the building, near a door, and half a

The Natoma girl, the Shinpo re-
porter, Yokogawa, the editor Of the
Shinpo and others have been summon
ed to testify that the blood stained

it, but unless the name is found and
fitted to the handkerchief from which
it was cut, it is held doubtful If the
circumstantial evidence will be strong
enough to convict Keuk of murder.
Keuk says his career as a bandit

he has only been stealing to get
enough money to go back to Korea.
