in Time of Trouble
LIEUT.. HARRISON is TO
ORGANIZE FIRST UNIT
Plan Has Approval of Col. VIII
liam c. Rafferty,; Will Be
Taken Up With Washington
BY Brig. ..Gen. Johnson

Six Coast Artillery companies of
the National Guard of Hawaii, to
serve as auxiiaries TO the regular
Coast Artillery forces now in the isl
ands in case of war-that is the latest
plan OF the National Guard.
Hearty approval to the project has
been given by officers at the head
quarters, Hawaiian Department, and
Brigadier General Samuel Johnson
will take the matter up with the mill
tary authorities at Washington to Sc
cure the necessary equipment.
Col. William c. Rafferty,, command
ant Of the coast defenses Of Oahu, is
in sympathy with the plan, and at his
suggestion there will be six such COM
panies formed ....
The scheme is to recruit for each
company in the district near each fort
One company to be made up of resi-
dents OF waikiki, who would be an
auxiliary to the De Rlissy forces; one
at Kaimuki for Rueef, and similar or
ganizations near the other coast de-
tense Notifications. !
Immediately after the inspection
period is completed, March 81, Lieut..
George K. Larrison of the Guard will
undertake to organize the first coast
artillery company OF the National
Guard of Hawaii, acting on orders
from General Johnson.
The Coast Artillery is to be organ
fzed primarily for businessmen and
for men employed downtown who have
little time to give to guard work and
who, on account of sedentary oecupa-
tions, do not relish the great amount
OF hiking required of any infantryman.
The companies will consist of from 65
to 100 men,
Z. Col. Rafferty, has offered to allow
the militia company to use the coast
defense guns here for practise and
drills. Col. Rafferty, will ask permis-
sion from headquarters to detail a
non-commissioned officer or lieuten-
ant to instruct the guardsmen
Another company can be used to
man two batteries of FIVE and seven.

Charles R. Forbes today urged mem

torial administration. Mr.. Forbes
spoke at the noon luncheon.
Members of Congress are begin
ming to wonder what is the matter
with us out here" he said, and whe-
ther or not we know just what We do
want.
National legislators thought it
was pretty small criticism that came
in from Honolulu against the plan to
aid National Guardsmen by giving
them privileges of commissary.
Governor Not Only One.
Your governor is not the only one
that is being criticized. for criticism
is going in every mail to the capital
for a good many members of the ad-
ministration, including Gen. Johnson
and myself
I'VE have been accused of most ev-
