new ACT MAKES
PAYROLL $4,000
PER MONTH MORE
Increase Only is Per Cent as
Army Spends Close to
$40O, 900 Month in Pay

Promotions or Oahu army officers
under the National Defense Act have
increased the payroll of the Hawaiian
Department about $4,000 a month, 1t
was learned today by inquiry at the
pay office Of the Quartermaster de-
partment.
This is not a large increase, how
ever, as the expenditures of the pay
office for pay of officers and enlist
ed men, plus the cost Of supplies or
various kinds, now range between
1886, 600 and 100000 a month. The
increase consequently is not more
than one and fifth per cent
The act of June 3 promoted large
numbers of army officers in the Ha-
waiian Department, and the conse-
quent increase in pay because or
these promotions ranged from $40 to
$75 q month per officer, according to
rank
Because the 1916 appropriation ex-
pired two months ago, when the fis-
cal year closed, and Congress has had
to extend the old appropriation one
twelfth twice since then, there Will
be a delay of five days in paying OH
the troops of this department in Aug
ust. according to the pay office. Pay
ment will be completed this month
by August 20. 1t is usually finished
by the 18th of every month. Last
month there was also delay, due to
Congress having to pass a joint reso-
luton extending the old appropriation
to cover July.
In 1912 there was 0 a. slight delay
here in paying troops of the depart
ment and some officers because Con-
gress failed to pass the army appro-
priation bill promptly. The new bill,
providing for the ensuing year, down
to June 80, 1917, is now under consid-
GRAFTON in Congress, and it is believed
it will be passed before the close of i
this month. tE
Should it not be itSmay be neces- !
sary for Congress to pass another
joint resolution appr6priating a sum
to cover the differehee between the
cost of paying officers and men in :,
August, 1916, over the expense in
August, 1915, before the National De-
tense Act iwth its increased salaries
and many promotions, went into eff,

HAWAII is LEFT OUT
OF DIVISION PLANS

That the War Department will as
sist the states in organizing, maintain
ing and equipping engineer troops Of
the National Guard is stated in a
circular issued by the chief of engin-
GERS, U. S. army. and received here.
In the plans of the War Department,
however, the Territory of Hawaii has
been left out. The states have been
organized tactically into IL militia
engineer divisions, but Hawaii is not
included in any of them. 4
The circular calls attention to the
need for more engineer officers and
soldiers in the organized militia, and
says plans should be formed for Sc
curing $50 engineer officers and 49,
600 engineer soldiers in the IL Nation
al Guard divisions.

JAPANESE EAB0RERS
C0NTENTED ALL OVER
ISLANDS, SAYS Y. S0GA

Japanese laborers all over the is.
lands are satisfied with the bonuses
paid" said Y. Soga, editor of the
Nippu Jill today We have been send.
ing out letters asking the laborers re-
garding the situation, and in nearly
every reply they state that the wage
scale at the present time is satisfac-
tory. .... =.. ~....}
THE reports received from Homo
kaa plantation that the laborers were
satisfied with the arrangements is
most pleasing, and very little discus
sion is heard at present in regard to
the labor problem with reference to
the bonuses. One of the Maui plan
tations failed to pay on time, but it
was on account of inability to get out
the bonuses in time 1t is pleasing to
the japanese people to know that the.
planters are keeping faith with the
workers in every way" he concluded.

of narcotics can be taken care of and
cured. Both DR.. Pratt and Collector
Haley have been working toward this
end for long time. .~ 4 .@

the need of such an institution, y, stat
ed Collector Haley this morning. 1T

Honolulu physicians, Of the board of
health taking over the handling and
of narcotics to habituates,
with their cure as an object. 1t means
new hore for drug fiends, and a big
