a little dissatisfied and would
like to get back home, but we
don't know when they will let

There is quite a good deal of

best of health although grouches
are quite common.

WHAT THE cABLEGRAM MEANT.

Governor PinkIam s cablegram to the war
department yesterday expressed the willing
less of the National Guard of Hawaii to per-
'orm such duty, if any, as the department sees
it to ask of it. The war department knows
1uite as we'll as anyone else what duty the mill
ia is able to undertake.
In sending his cabiegram, the governor
merely voices the patriotic sentiment Of Hawaii

when the militia Of border states are called on
or patrol work There will be no such misin-
expectation of his cablegram in Washington

When the first troops were ordered into
Mexico, state after state came forward offering
he service of its militia. Illinois, we believe,
vas the first and the entire state took pride in
he fact that it was the first. The offers were
lot made in yainglorious spirit but merely

CARING FOR OUR TREES.

Much of the charm and glory of Hawaii is ir
the trees and shrubs, Towering and otherwise
which give extraordinary beauty to many
streets. But the very lavishness with which
Nature filings her arboreal treasures here has
its dangers, and these are aptly pointed out in
the valuable talk given before the Outdoor
Circle yesterday by DR.. j. F. Illingworth of the
College of Hawaii.
DR. nlingworth, whose experience in the care
Of trees and shrubs is wide, finds that over
providing of trees and lack of intelligent care
have their logical results in defects which are
obtrusive even in city where kindly Nature
covers everything possible with mantle of
green embroidered with gorgeous blossoms
He urges that pruning be done by men who will
combine loving care with experience, skill and
an eye to future growth
Not a home-owner or a householder in Ho-
nplnlu but has an interest in the beauty of his
premises. DR.. Illingworth' s talk contains SO
many practical hints, and in such n-technical
language, that the Star Bulletin is glad to pub
lish it in.full Saturday.

ative for the present.
Disturbed conditions now existing"
are given as the reason. for the decl-
sion by the War Department to coun-
termand, for the present at least, the
provisions of the "manchu" act, which
makes it necessary for officers that
have served four ,yearSSyout of six on
staff duty to go back to duty at some
post. ..-

vides that. officers and enlisted men

sent for duty for at least two of the
