With the two Hill liners on the re.
turn trip to the mainland, the Hawaii
Promotion Committee is now working
on plans for the entertainment of the
Shriners and the Rosarians of Port
land. Special committees have been
appointed to welcome the guests to
Honolulu, and a number of unique
plans are being arranged.
Albert p. Taylor, secretary of the
Promotion Committee, stated today
that the organization had been work
ing for long time to secure a party
from the Northwest, and the trip of
the Rosarians is welcomed. Accord
ing to the traffic men, thousands of
tourists come to Portland and Seattle
every year, and many of them do not
make the California trip, especially in
the summer, but go to the Canadian
Rockies.

This news was brought to Honolulu
in copies of the Sydney Morning Her
aid arriving today on the Oceanic
steamer Sonoma from Australia. The
Herald's issue of February Is saws:
AT breakfasttime yesterday about
5000 troops of the Australian Imperial
Forces, camped at Casula, near Liver

retraction of new training syllabus
which had been issued that morning.
When It was explained to them that
the new syllabus was "A camp order

TOURISTS WHOGO TO NORTHWEST

With the coming of the Rosarians a
friendly feeling is sure to be created
between the people of the Rose City
and Honolulu, and, according to Mr..
Taylor, the coming excursion will be
the opening wedge for large sum-
mer traffic from Portland.
Thousands visit the Rose Carnival
every year in Portland, and it is the
hope of the Promotion Committee that
many of these tourists can be induced
to come to Honolulu for few weeks
in the summer .~....
Mr.. Taylor has written to the Para
mount Picture Company asking them

beauties of Hawaii, giving an idea of

of the different races here. This
