Pup Tents, Will
Be AT Red Hill

National guardsmen who attend the
big eneampment at Red Hill beginning
November 10. enc week from tomor-
row, will have the luxury OF pyramidal
tents instead OF the old fashioned
pup cnes.
This will be one of the biggest
changes IN encampment life since two
years ago II will be Red Hill still,
but under such different Circum-
stances that the place will not seem
the same.
Two years ago three-fourths OF the
tents blew down one night when a
keavy squall came down and life was
mere or less miserable for guardsmen
as a result This time the tents will
be of modern make and will hold eight
men each. This will mean practically
100 tents for men. besides the indi-
yidual wall tents for officers.
Another blessing for the rockies
will be presence Of mosquito netting
to protect them from the little buzzers
that frequent Red Hill in numbers.
Garrison instead of field rations will
also be served. much to the JOY Of all
Trucks will take out equipment early
Sunday morning.
Fresh water for bathing will be sup
piled by two irrigation bitches which
run across government land and which
are looked upon 10 refresh the weary

BLUES FOR HAWAII.

I'm glad to hear the cheering news,
The news I've heard today,
The soldier boys will wear the blue,
And lay their olive drab away
This is news I've Ionged to hear,
. II cheered their brave hearts true,
This is heavenly blessing,
To wear the suits of blue.
Though it's just for dress parades.
And when on the streets in town,
j know they'll never wear the blue.
Where they've often worn the
brown
They'll dress up neat in suits of blue,
And wear the collars white,
And respect much more the starry
flag,
When wearing the buttons bright
When marching in the grand parades
All marching side by side,
Each one dressed in brilliant blue,
Each heart there filled with pride
Marching in step with the music,
Each heart then beating true,
Their step will be more firmer,
When wearing the suits of blue.
Hurrah for the flag, Old Glory
That leads the grand reviews,
Hurrah for the flag, Old Glory!
That leads the boys in blue,

Chandler gives illustrations of his
scheme, showing the design of the
small torpedo boat, whose great asset
would be its power to develop speed
beyond that of any battleship or cruis-
er, thus enabling it the chance of
striking and lodging out of the way
The author does not hope that all
vessels would dodge out of the way,
however. He argues that such a
swarm of them could be assembled
that even though some were struck
down by the heavier guns of battle
ships, others would escape to do their
deadly work, as the vessels could not
fire every way at once and the attack
would be on all Sides: .-:.. -. ...*: -. Il.

The question of venereal diseases
from the standpoint of the army sur
geon was discussed fully in recent

cal Association at the department hos
pital, Fort Shafter. One of the fGe
lures of the meeting was a talk by Col.

the Star-Bulletin prints in part hers
with as pertinent to the present dis
eussion regarding medical supervision
OF Iwilei:
"'fhe data taken from sick and
wounded reports Of the Hawaiian de-
partment for the period. January J,
1915, to June 80, 1916" said Col.
Ebert, show that the total number
of admissions for yenereal diseases is
1902, with a loss of 2l,44S days. as
against total admission for all other
causes Of gal and 63,057 days lost.
In other words, more than 20 per cent
of all admissions and % per cent OF
all time lost to the government from
disease and injury in Hawaii are due
to venereal diseases. These totals are
based on an average strength Of $50.
Comparing these rates with the
army elsewhere il Is found that fer

CALIFORNIA TO
BE GREATEST OF
NAVAL VESSELS
Superdreadnought Will Be Oil
Fired and Electrically
Propelled

The uperdreadnought California,
as she will be known after her launch
ing and christening. is now merely
No. "A on the navy list When COM
pleted, she will be the most powerful
lighting ship in the United States
navy Her dimensions are:
Length over all. 624 feet.
Breadth, 80 feet
Depth AZ feet inches.
Mean draft. 90 feet 3 inches.
Displacement at mean draft, $1,000
tons.
Fuel oil capacity, normal, 1900 tons.
Speed, q knots twelve hoursJ.
Her armament is to be:
Twelve 14-ineh, 90 caliber breech'
loading rifles.
Twenty-Five 5-inch rapid-fire guns.
Four 5-pounder guns for saiuting.
Two 1-pounder guns for boats.
Four 3-inch anti-aircraft guns.
One 3-inch landing gun.
Two 80 caliber machine guns.
Four submerged torpedo tubes.
The guns OF the main 14-inch
battery are TO be mounted in threes
IN four heavily armored turrets on
the center line OF the ship.
The California is to be oil-fired and
electric-driven, Steam turbines will
generate the electricity to turn the
driving motors on the propeller shafts.
Every possible operation on board the
ship will be done by electricity.
According to the naval designers,
the California will be SO well pro-
tected against torpedo attack that che
will be able 10 make port even though
struck by several torpedoes. This Sc
curity is said to be obtained by a
new system OF bulkhead construc-
ton.
