GREAT UNIVERSITY HERE,
LEUScHNER PREDICTS

Hawaii should have an institution
of learning second to none," said Pro-
fessor Armin Otto Le1schner, dean of
the graduate school~of the University
of California, and a graduate of the
University of Michigan, before the
members and guests Of the University
Club at luncheon today.
Art, literature and science should
flourish here, and the beginning that
has been made shows that the people
of Hawaii are interested in education,
but they can go further and work out
the principles that have been follow
ed in the march of education.
Westward the course of learning
wends its way. and it is still march
ing to the setting sun. California on
the western shores of the continent,
and Stanford University have become
great institutions Of learning, and the
time will come when Hawaii shall
have done her part in keeping the
movement still further toward the
west. - ~
1T was a great source of pleasure
to me to watch the work that has
been done by Thomas A Jaggar, Jr,
at the volcano. Hawaii has need for
such men, and the research work
should be furthered"'

The death of Private John w. Frame

on his second enlistment.
Last month he took part in the races

waiian militia organizations were not
invited to participate In guarding the
Mexican border. Furthermore, the

other body III the National Guard -
This Is the explanation given by the
war department officials, following the
presidents call for mobilization issued
to the governor of every state ex-
cept Nevada, which possesses no de-
fensive organization. The District OF
Columbia was in the favored class and

Some officers invite attention to the
facf that under the call II is proposed
TO leave sort Of nucleus in each
state, where portion Of the National
Guard viii be left to perform such
duties as may arise. These would in
clude labor troubles, strikes, rioting
and the usual class OF disturbances
that result in the guard being brought
into local requisition.
In any event, the Hawaiian militia
will not see service on the Mexican
border at present The organization
might be called out on subsequent
call, but none is in sight. There is
NO reason to believe the territorial
militia will be included in the authori-
zation to be given by Congress for
using the segregated forces of the
country In Mexico. Under existing
laws the militia may not be sent out
OF the United States.
President Wilson Immediately rer
quested that this act be modified so
the National Guard could be sent
across the border into Mexico. II the
troops of Hawaii are not included in
this broadening OF the statute, the
last chance of its members to see ac-
tive service in Mexico viii be gone
for the present, at least.
