Cruise 70 Midway Island Is
Believed Most Practical;
Permission is Sought

Lying in the mooring basin at Pearl
HarDor, the big e. S. first-class cruis-
er ST. Louis, which arrived here July
20 from Bremerton navy yard, is get
ting ready for the anticipated cruise
Of the Naval Militia Of Hawaii the
last Of this month.
The big war vessel, provided per-
mission which has been asked can be
secured from Secretary of the Navy
JcsephGs Daniels for her to make
this cruise, will carry the members Of
the Naval Militia for two weeks, dur
ing which time they will be given
drills in every process of handling a
modern cruiser ..s .
II is probable that the cruise will
be to Midway Island and return, as
with her 10-knot speed the cruiser
probably could not make the run to
American Samoa and return in two
weeks, the time allowed. and give the
naval militiameE and her crew a
chance To see anything Of the Samoan
grt up Ct islands. -. ...::-.. f-. ="

MEDICAL CORPS
OFFICERS HAVE
been PROMOTED
Lieut.. Col. Banister, Coming
on Logan Today, One OF
Men Raised One Grade

Among the observation-disclosures, pro
NOTED to the next higher grade in the
Medical Corps is Lieut.-Col. w. b,
Banister, who Is coming to Honolulu
this afternoon on the u. s. army trans.
port Logan, for service in the Ha-
waiian Department. r..
According to the Army and Navy
Register, the promotion of Col. Ban.
lister and half a dozen other officers
of the Medical Corps has been made
possible by the National Defense Act.
The authorized strength of the
army for the next fiscal year having
been officially determined by the War
Department as being 10000, it has
been possible to fix the first increase
in the commissioned personnel of the
corps, which under the terms of the
National Defense Act was TO have
seven commissioned officers for every
one thousand OF enlisted strength of
the army.
This Will give a total Of 90 officers,
so distributed as to grades as to pro-
mote to the next higher grade Lieut.
Coils. Kendall, Banister, Mason, Glen
nan. Bradley. Prick, keefer, Wilcox,
Raymond. Snyder, Smith, Clarke, Ire
land. Fisher, Shaw and Winter.
The majors to be promoted to the
grade OF lieutenant colonel will be
those on the list to include Robert n.
Winn The captains to be promoted
will embrace all those to include
Alexander T. Cooper. This will leave
about 400 vacancies, more than half
Of which it is hoped to fill as result
of the examination held on July IL,
that which will occur on October IA,
and the third to be held at a later
date.
There are now IT'S candidates who
have been or viii be examined. The
fact that candidates hereafter will be
eligible for appointment If not more
than 80 years Of age has the effect
Of increasing the list Of those who
can take the examination. It has
been found that the age Of graduation
and the subsequent hospital service
which is required has increased in
the last few years so that the former
maximum age limit of 80 years ex-
cluded many medical students who
will now be In the eligible class.

MANNED AND Lame
COMMON Sights
ON BOULEVARDS

PARIS, July 23.-One-armed and
cne-legged men are now so common
as to raise a question as to why they
are SO numerous.
DR.. Auguste Broca, while admitting
that the changed conditions of warfare
and the scale of the operations must
necessarily multiply the number of
amputated limbs, claims that con-
siderable part Of the increase In the
proportion of survivors who lack a
member is due to the progress Of sur.
gerry since the war Of 1870; in that
conflict nearly all the amputated men
died of purulent infection; in this
var, thanks to progress in medical
science, they are nearly all saved, he
says. ..=a ..1
In consequence, the demands upon
manufacturers of artificial limbs are
cut of all proportion to anticipations.
DR.. Broca considers that the construc-
tors of artificial substitutes for mem
hers or parts Of members have also
made great progress. Before the war
a really efficient artificial member
vas an object OF luxury; under the
stress of circumstances, manufacture
ers have TO a great extent obliterated
the distinction between the rich mans
and the poor mans apparatus. Not
that there has been any modification

ere cheap. American systems are
much in favor but are not universally
applicable because they do not adapt
themselves to the transitory period

adapt itself somewhat To the appara-

ARMY SHOE NOW
GETTING TRYOUT
ON THE BORDER

A recent number of the Army and
Navy Register says that the quarter
master general of the army has placed
an order for a quantity of army
marching shoes of an improved type.
and 500 pairs have been delivered and
shipped to troops in Texas and in
Mexico; but no reports have been re-
ceived from commanding officers of
the companies to whom these shoes
have been issued and by whom they
will be used under observation.
The new shoe is a combination of
the French army and Belgian army
shoe and will be built on the so-called
Munson last, designed by Lieut. Col.
Z. L. Munson OF the army medical
corps. 1t is heavier and more rugged

least battalion of infantry and sew.

According to the Japanese papers, be.

marine conferred with the minister of
finance and the latter agreed in gen.
eral terms to the outlay for the new
