.NNE thing the people Of Honolulu can do for
~ the soldier is, through the chamber Of COM
merce, to take up with Washington the matter
of the establishment of a military sanitorium
somewhere on the highlands of Hawaii, in the
neighborhood Of the Volcano or on the upper
slope of Haleakala, There exists a need for such
an institution, where army convalescents may be
sent for a change OF climate. At the present time
many of these are sent to the Coast to recuperate
What would be better all around, although it
would be asking for considerably more, would be
to present request to congress- through the war
department for the establishment Of a battalion
post near the Volcano, where the troops of the
garrison could be sent, a battalion at time, for
one or two months. With the carrying on Of the
Colonial army" idea, the soldiers of the Oahu
garrisous will be kept year after year in this
place, without change Of scenery and without
change of climate, something which will not be
conducive either to the welfare of the enlisted
men to the satisfaction they may experience
at serving with the troops here
There is an excellent precedent to 90 by in
asking for a santorium for the use of the local
soldiers The forces in and around Manila have
had one provided IN the highlands Of the Benguet
at Baguio, splendidly fitted up nsti
tuition for the use of the troops connected with
the capital by military road. s.s@
The local army officers here recognize the neces-
sity of some place where northern-born men may
be able to spend some time in climate more
bracing than that of the Oahu shore posts and
with surroundings of more diversity than the aver
age outlook at Scho6eld Barracks. and Cashier

The ARMY Bin Split

TtHE opposition in the senate to the Federal
4 Volunteer provisions of the Chamberlain Bill
is the outcome Of clash between the executive
committee Of the National Guard Association of
the United States and the advocates of the bust
ness mems training and students military train
ing camps, according to the Army and Navy
Journal, the national guard representatives having
come out in opposition to the federal volunteer
feature of the senate army increase measure.
" I'm an effort to sectirec legislation swhich will
egalize and encourage military training camps
says the Journal, "the Senate committee adopted
a provision which authorizes the President to ac-
cept for training at any time volunteers not to
exceed six hundred for each congressional district
The provision is SO broad that the President can
fix the training period of these organizations to
suit the conveniences of those who desire to at
tend the camps. At the same time the President
can place all of the business men and students on
the status of a volunteer a regular force during
the period of encampment. He can authorize the
war department to give the volunteer business
men and students the pay and allowances Of reg
ular army officers and men. In return for this
the students enlisted in a volunteer army which
would be subject to call in the event of war and
after serving the term of enlistment they would
pass into reserve This provision is the most
satisfactory proposition that has been made to the
students and business men. At the same time it
has the endorsement of the military authorities.
But it is not satisfactory to some of the national
guard. The representatives of the National Guard
Association of the United States who are in
W Washington declare that it is the Continental
Army under another name. They insist that all
citizen soldiers should come into the national
guard, while the members of students and bust
ness men organizations declare that the militia
service is not satisfactory to them. The advocates
Of the summer training camps object to the ma
tional guard on two grounds. They say control
ui the national guard by the federal government
and States is not satisfactory and they prefer
regular officers instructors to national guard
officers" ~
