against the former arrangement Of

the three-gun turret is an Italian in

tria and in the United States.
The British admiralty long ago re-
fused to mount more than two large

May, 1913. which were to have twelve

jected In 1914, it was decided to arm
the four ships OF the type with six
teen l3.4-inch guns In four quadruple
turrets.
Doubt was expressed at the
time In other countries as to the prac-
teal value of four-gun turrets and the
wisdom OF placing so many weapons
in one Clubhouse at the mercy Of a
lucky shot or Of an accident. But. ac-
cording to a British service paper,
since the French battleships OF the
Normandie" class have assumed a
complete shape and conclusive tests
have been made. the quadruple turret,

edged to have answered all expecta-
tions In the matter Of rate of fire and

First Woman to

Two Women Postmasters Hold
Positions at Army Posts
Here at Present Time

Although a few weeks ago It was
thought that Mrs. Beatrice Ely, post
mistress at Fort Shafter, was the first
woman to hold such position on
Oahu, inquiry at the Honolulu postof-
flee has shown differently
According to postoffice authorities
here Mrs. Minnie Goldsbury was the
first woman postmaster on Oahu. and
also at any army post on this island
as well. Mrs. Goldsbury came here
with her husband, who was principal
musician of the 5th Cavalry at that
time, when six troops OF cavalry and
q band were sent to Oahu for station.
She was the first postmaster at
Schofield Barracks, serving from 1909
to 1913. When the office was estab-
lished 1t started as fourth-class Of
flee, but when Mrs. Goldsbufy resign
ed and went to the mainland with her
husband, who Is now bandmaster ct
.Alcatraz Island. ii had grown to be q
second-class office. Mrs. Goldsbnry
Is now postmaster at Alcatraz, where
the army military prison is situated.
The island Is In San Francisco bay,
just inside the Golden Gate.
At the present time there are two
women postmasters at Oahu army
posts. One is Mrs. Katherine Nc
Nellis Of Fort Kamehameha, where
the government established 9 postof-
flee last June, and the other Is Mrs.
Beatrice Ely OF Fort Shafter, whose
nomination was recently sent to the
senate for confirmation as permanent
postmaster. She has been acting
postmaster there since last fall, sue
ceeding an army man who retired and
went to the mainland.

The National Guard Of Hawaii con-
sists of 4 regiments Of infantry. /

comprise more than IS per cent of the
total strength of the guard, the re-
mainder being native Hawaiians,
with few hundred Portuguese; two
companies of Koreans and two Of Chi

Of the total are Filipinos. The great

The Filipinos are good marksmen,

wall island. 80 per cent of the nom
commissioned men are Fiiipinos, the
balance being Chinese except for my
Portuguese first sergeant. Seventy
per cent in all Of the battalions at
