SCH0F1ELD BARRACKS, Oct. %.
Much surprise is being expressed at
Schofieid Barracks on the cable re-
ceived on Saturday detailing four
well-known officers Of the garrison TO
the Signal CORPS. The officers de-
tailed are LIST Lieut.. Eugene NJ Lob.
man. 18th Cavalry; LIST Bieuts Herman
Erlenkotter and II. c. Vanderveer, LIST
F.-A, and LIST Lieut.. Roy NJ. Jones, LIST
Infantry.
All OF these officers are but recent
arrivals in Oahu and the detail was
unknown to them. They will leave. on
the November transport for their new
stations. AS yet they do not know
where they will be stationed but they
will probably be sent to the Mexican
border as there is a scarcity of Off
GERS in the Signal Corps there at pres
ent.
All are well known in Hawaii and
their departure will be deeply regret:
ted by their many friends.

all traffic. The road was getting in
bad shape with numerous ruts and
washouts so the quartermaster had 1t
all picked and new coral hauled TO
make the necessary repairs. The
steam roller is working daily, so in
another 10 days it should be in good
shape again. Until this work is COM
pleted all traffic has been directed in
rear of the LIST Infantry Exchange via
the old wireless station.

Charles A. Meals, who has been at
the Signal school at FIT. Leavenworth
for the past year and returned on the
October transport from the mainland,
will occupy the quarters in the LIST In
fantry vacated by Capt Abraham.
1t is with much regret that the gar
rison at Schofield Barracks will see
Capt. Robert P Harbcld and family
leave Oahu for their new station to-
day. Capt. Harbold is well known In
Oahu, where he has been stationed for
the past five years and is well known
in the service set He has always
taken a large interest In athletics and

tailed to the National Guard of Hawaii

on Maui is assured. Mrs. Harbold
will remain at Schofield Barracks I'M
til November 1, when she will join
Capt HarboId at Waikiki.
