Officers of the department who arr
under orders for transfer to mainland
commands are up the proyerbial tree
as to the time of their departure from
here. The recent cable message Stains
that there would be no accommodations
for Hawaii on the transport leaving
Manila September Is, has caused a
mild panic, for 1t means at least q
months holdoyer, in addition 10 an
overlap of 20 days that would have
occurred between the coming of the
new officers and the departure of those
due for relief. Under the original ar.
rangement there would have been a
period of three weeks during which old
officers and their reliefs would have
been on duty. Now it will be at least
q month and three weeks, unless ar.
rangements are made for an extra
transport. It is the general belief
that special boat will be sent out
to relieve the congestion. Post COM
manders are afraid to even think what
win happen when the double rush for
quarters sets in. Probably the new
arrivals win receive their authorized
Communication Of quarters. and viii
have to get along the best way they
can until the sets which they will
eventually occupy are vacated.

General Orders No. 2 of the Hawai-
ian Department has just been issued
in printed form, although its date is
July l, 1915. 1t contains 81 pages and
an index Of eight pages, and is COM
Fiiation of all general orders of the
District of Hawaii, Department of Ha-
wall, and Hawaiian Department since
October 25, 1910. The new order con-
tains every general order now in force,
In condensed form, and Is one of the
best examples of simplification of pa
per work and records. 1t does not res
cfnd all former orders, because such
orders as the assumption OF command
Of the department and the appoint
ment of staff officers are not included
in its pages. The new order repre-
sents practically six months work by
Col. Campbell the department adju-
tant 1t is sure to prove great time
saver to everyone connected with the
service
