ALIEN JAPANESE
EAGER TO FIGHT
FOR UNCLE SAM
Refused in New Guard Com
pany. Now Considers Join
ing National Army

Young Hawaiian born Japanese are
fOckIng to national guard headQuaT
ters eager TO lOln the new militia
company. the first Of lis kind IN the
Jnited States. which IS now forming.
And now there has come forward an
alien Japanese, born in Dai NIPPON,
who is eager TO Join the ranks OF the
national army and fight side by side
with Uncle Sans men N Khaki on
the European battle fronts.
He IS 80 years old. and there was
look Of dlsa 'pOlntMent on mis- face
when he entered Marshal J. J. Smid.
dy's office this morning. He told the
federal official that ne had read in
the newspapers OF the formation Of
a Japanese company OF national
cuardsmcn. and declared that he, too,
wanted 10 !0ln.
We'll. why don't YOU ap. }yo" asked
the marshal.
The japanese told him that lie had
applied, but that he had been denied
admission.
"What was the troIble?' the mar.
shall inquired.
No pilikia," answered the man. who
is in business in Honolulu. They
just told me | couldn't join
After little ross-QuestiOning. Mar.
shall Smiddy ascertained the reason
why the japanese had not been taken
into the new company. He is an
alien, and therefore not eligible to
join the national guard After con.
siderable explaining, the marshal fl.
nally made the man understand that
only Hawaiian born japanese Will be
taken into the new unit.
But you can join the national
army" added the marshal. and the
japanese became interested again.
The marshal then read portions of
Provost Marshal General E II. Crow

after listening attentively, left the Of

BOARD INVITES
DISCUSSION ON
farm QUESTION
Substituting of Farmers to Try
Out Land Suggestion OF Ex-
pertinent Station Head

What does the public think OF the
suggestion that all available land III
the territory be opened up for farm
ing purposes?
The territorial food commission
wants TO know and invites sugges
tions, either II communications d1'
rectly to the commission, or in letters
to the newspapers.
That the commission should open
I'D these lands wherever possible and
start a system Of farming in which the
farmer would be assisted by the com
mission, is the suggestion recently
made by W W. c. Moir agent in East
Hawaii. J. F Child, assistant execu
tive officer OF the commission, recent,
" conferred with J. NJ. Westgate
agronomist in charge Of the federal
experiment station, on Mr.. Moirs sug
gestions Mr.. Westgate's findings are
set forth in the following letter to Mr..
Child:
Regarding the possibilities Of open
ing up the KeanakOlu tract OF land
for farming operations, | will sta ?
that / am personally unfamiliar with
the agricultural character of the sec
ton in question and before advising
definitely in regard to the question.
would feel II necessary to become &C
quainted with the character OF the
soil, the rainfall, the acreage, the po-
tentially good agricultural land and
any isolated instances of agricultural
operations in said tract. giving us a
line on the possibilities of the soil
for raising agricultural products.
IF a second Kula section could be
established by the proper cooperation
of the different agricultural institu-
tions, including the land office, it would
be a most desirable undertaking and
one which the federal station would
enter into with hearty cooperation.
THE funds appropriated for the
Glenwood station are, by act Of the
territorial legislature, available only
for the experiment station at Glen
wood. Your suggestion of the estab-
lishment Of cooperative relations with
a thoroughly reliable farmer, backing
him up in his farming operations
seems to me feasible, IL this tract
proves as potentially valuable as II
seems to be. II might be possible for
the station to subsidize homesteaders
to the extent Of $25 month to make
demonstrations in the section in ques
ZION. This would call for the land de-
partment issuing a subsidized home
steader q typical allotment of land
and allowing him to go In before the
rest of the land was opened up so he
would have time to work out the most
profitable practises under the peculiar
local conditions present in the immedi-
ate section.
Il think your suggestion to invite
public discussion Of he project
very good one, and think that prob
ably this should be done In advance of
our taking any active steps in the
matter. The discussion will crystaIize
the actual facts in the case and cur
own course will be that much clearer"

That the rule has been issued DIR.

Goentoer Sails Today
At l o'clock today it was unknown
when either the GOentoer or Juliana
would sail. But it was definitely an
nOunced that the Juliana would not
depart for Yokohama and way ports
until she had filled her coal bunkers.
However, the Goentoer may sail for
San Francisco late this afternoon, at
least her passengers have so been in
formed. Officers of this liner say
she will attempt to make San Fran.

and have posted a notice On the yes
sci stating she will san at 5 o'clock
today. The officers estimate that by
running slowly, about 10 knots an
hour, she may be able to reach San
Francisco. The Goentoer needs only
$50 tons of coal, while $50 tons is
the amount requisitioned for the
Princess Juliana.
A generally accepted theory for the
refused to issue coal to the Dutch
steamers without Washington permits
sion is that it is a step in keeping
with recent action taken by the ma
tional export board to check the ship.

which may eventually reach Germany.

WORK Up PLANS
ON MAINLAND

tect, left Honolulu this morning on
the Matsonia with notes, maps and
impressions upon which he will base
his plans for the future building OF
the Punahou campus. With his wife

Mr.. Goodhue will submit block
plans and sketches for the future or
ganization of the campus" declared
A. F. Griffiths, president Of the OahI
College, who was at the steamer to
see him Off
"He will make plans with special
reference to roads, present buildings,
proposed buildings, planting, and
landscape features, as gates, for in
stance" continued President Griffiths
One change which Mr.. Goodhue has
in mind would call for a road in a
straight line from the mauka Pauahi
hall gate to Castle hall and back to
Hastings street This would be part
of the reconstruction involved in
creating an inner campus"
Mr.. Goodhue stated that he hoped
to be back to the islands next sum-
mer. He was brought here at the in
stance of President Griffiths, but
while here was engaged by the Mid,
Pacific Institute and the Kamehameha
schools to do architectural work for
them.

into circulation a song entitled It's Z
Long and Rocky Road to Berlin" to be
sung to the tune of "Tipperary" which
was then popular in the United States.
Last Saturday Doctor Schurmanr

Book" at this time. Attorney Huber
took the matter under Amusement and
on the following Monday told the doc
tor the circulation of the volume had
better be stopped.

my judgment, the book should not be
circulated at this time" says Attor'

The fact that the Red Book" has
been in circulation here since Amer.

4. NJ CIisty said today.
"Unofficially. will say that the
matter is in the hands of the L. S.
