senate. The measure carries total
OF $3.50, 0,5sS 900, which makes it the

new OAIRS NOT
Required, SAYS
CABLE MESSAGE
National Guard Ruling Sent B,
Brig. .-Gen. Mills of Great
Importance to Hawaii

No new enlistment oaths will have
to be signed by members OF the Ma
tional Guard Of Hawaii. according to
cablegram received shortly before
noon today at National Guard head
quarters from Brig.-gen. Albert l..
Mills, chief OF the division Of militia
affairs, Washington, ID. G.
The cable says that the militia bu-
reau has reversed its decision reQuir-
ing the new oath to be subscribed to
by guardsmen of the mainland and
the Territory Of Hawaii. This reversal
is apparently the result of advice from
the militia bureaus legal advisers.
The message adds that the present
oath is satisfactory, and that the new
form will be required only in the case
of new enIistments. The status Of
those already members remains the
same as before.
Today's cable means that great
deal Of work win be saved, as TAX
ing the new oath has just been begun,
and has proved somewhat tedious as
regards securing signatures, especial
ly as each company member was re-
quired to sign in triplicate on three
separate sheets.
In the case of officers, however,
the new oath must be taken.
