Oughly respected as an officer and liked as man
and a citizen. and will enter upon his duties with
personal knowledge of the various problems Oahu
imposes upon military highernps. ....
4 special advantage to the Hawaiian Department
and TO Oahu is that General Strong has three years
of service before retirement for age. 1t has been
rather unfortunate that some Of the department
commanders were almost the of retirement
when placed at the head Of military affairs here.
The department has been fortunate in the caliber
Of its commanders, and the community has been for
tunate in their interest in citizenship and public
welfare, but their short tenure deprived them of
being of the fullest service.
In General Strong:s case there will not be this
handicap Cnless~1he war department transfers

The retirement of General Evans next month will
lose to Oahu a department commander whose keen

popular indeed Perhaps the most striking of his
