HAWAII OFFERS
REQUISITES
TRAINING CAMP
Leaders and Men of Character
Wanted for Officers, De-
clareS General Treat

Hawaii's military organization,
along wit Hawaiian climate and con-
dttions here, offer facilities for the
training of officers that probably ex'
coed those Of any one place in the
mainland.
This Is the opinion expressed today
by Brig. Gen. Charles G. Treat, com
mander Of the Hawaiian department,
in an interview accorded the Star
Bulletin regarding the officers train
ing camp it Is planned to establish
here in August
I'VE have here" said Gen. Treat,
"a combination of things that offer
to make this camp a great success,
Officers can be trained in every arm
of the service for all arms are rep
resented"
Discussing the type Of men that he
is hoping for, Gen. Treat stated that
leaders and men of character are
wanted. 1t makes no difference
whether a man has had previous mill
tary experience or not, the spirit he
displays as a candidate for commits
sion Is what will count.
I'VE want no one to take up this
work as chance for job, declared
the officer. 1T must mean more than
that-the desire to be Of service to
the country"
Camp Opens August q
Plans for the camp are now in prog.
ress at Hawaiian department offices
and will be announced as soon as pos.
sible. Il was stated today by the
general that August q will be the date
and that the place definitely chosen
Is Schofield Barracks. In general the
training system will follow that
worked out for similar camps on the
mainland.
After the candidates have been in
training for q MONTH" said the gen
eral, 1T is planned to begin directing
their work along special lines. Por
lions will be- turned over to the cav.
airy arm, portions to artillery and
portions to infantry, according to spe-
cial aptitude shown for such work.
Officers will be available at all
times to instruct the men, and In ad-
dition to this they will be given prac-
teal training with the recruits tLat
2tavo been stationed recently at the
barracks." -~-E g.. &C.,
Maj. Charles s. Lincoln, who, as
officer in charge of reserve corps
work, is handling much Of he work
for this camp, asked the Star.Bul.
lettn to print the following portion Of
the instruction to candidates which
will be ready for distribution in a
few days: ~~E ~ 80,
Since the special object Of these
camps is to train body of men fitted
20 fill the more responsible positions
Of commanders in the new. armies ev-
cry effort will be made to select men
OF exceptional character and proved
ability in their various occupations.
While it is desired to give full OPP
portunity for all eligible citizens to
apply, no man need make application
whose record Is not in all respects
above reproach and who does not pos.
sess the fundamental characteristics
necessary to inspire respect and con-
fidence."

c0LBURN WANTS ALONG
PIER STUDIED FURTHER

John F. Colburn is not satisfied with
the decision Of the harbor board that
Albert Afong's pier at Pearl Harbor
is no hindrance to navigation. Col.
burn sent letter to the board which
was read before that body this morn,
ing.
In addition to asking the members
to reconsider their decision, he offer.
ed to give them a free auto ride to
the site for further investigation. Aft.
er one inspection recently the board
decided the pier was no hindrance,
and that Colburn's former complaint
was not justified by the facts. The
feeling expressed by the members to.
day was that the chairman should in.
form Colburn no further action will
be taken.

IS ABSOLUTE
Delegate Kuhio Gets Assurance
From U. S. Shipping Board
That Matson Boats Will Be
Seized Only in Case of Great
Emergency

Formal protest filed by Delegate
Kuhio with the U. s. shipping bosro
against the proposed communicating
Of the Maui and the Matsonfa has
brought forth the assurance that these
two liners will not be taken over By
the government except in case oil
great emergency necessitated by the
needs of transportation or hospital
ships. This is taken to mean that
the vessels will continue to ply be
tween Honolulu and the coast for the
balance of the year at least, or per
haps extending well into 1918, depend
ing on the necessity Of ships oeca
stoned by the despatch OF troops to
France. .. - r.. = -..,-
Word of the assurance Of the ship
ping board came to Honolulu in q
letter from the delegate to Secretary
Taylor of the promotion committee
The letter follows: -.
Washington. D. c., July 6, 1911
Mr.. A. P. Taylor,
Secretary, Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee, so
Honolulu, Hawaii. ..
Dear Sir: - ...-.s
Relative to the sending out of false
reports concerning the presence oil
submarines in the Pacific ocean,
wish to add that In personal inter
view with the secretary Of the navy
he assured me most strongly that be
was firmly opposed to the giving oul
Of false and alarming reports which
might tend to brighten shipping inter
ests. He further assured me that the
navy department was not responsible
for the rumors, and that he would
see to 1t that no such reports would
be sent out in the future. -
With regard to the possibility o.
the government communicating the
Maui and Matsonia, would state thai
I called at the headquarters Of the
shipping board and protested the
taking over Of these two ships. I was
assured that these ships would be
taken over only in case Of great
emergency for either transport serv
ice or for hospital work. It is, there
fore, probable that they may not BIZ
taken over for some months to come
or that they may not be taken owe:
at all. However, we in Hawaii, mus
realize at this time that the govern
ment is likely to use all its resources
and in case it does commanders these
boats, 1t only does so because Of greai
necessity, and, therefore, we ought ii
patriotic spirit assent to the wishe:
of the government. ~gsl-,.4,.s -.
Trusting that It may not be neces
sary for the government to take oyei
these ships, I remain, with best
wishes, z5@EA

DO SHARE, SAYS BRITISH OFFICER

her allies to give his services to his
country, he said Everyone can aid
in conserving and producing the ne
cessarfes demanded by this war"
Maj. Hay does mt believe that Ger
many Is seriously weakened as yet.
"She has half million men annually
to replace her losses in her ranks.
True, most Of these are boys 18 years
of age, but they have been trained
for their duties as soldiers from the
time they were Is. No other country
can put boys in the trenches at that
age as trained soldiers as does Ger
many" he says.
He does not doubt that there
is much starvation and suffering in
Germany, but he adds: This Is most
|ly among her inactives-those unfit
for war or any other duty. Germany
is, of course, conserving her food
this she has done from the beginning
but there is still plenty for her
armies"
Mai. Hay, however, has no doubts
Of an eventual defeat Of Germany.
He speaks with understanding ana
sympathy of the stand President VII.
son had to take to keep this country
from entering the war until this year.
"In a country like yours, with its
many mixed nationalities, the presi-
dent had to have time to weld pub
lie opinion until the country was will
ing to take an active part In the war
Like any other minority, your peace
party made more noise than the ma
jority. This war will be the making
Iof the United States. She has to
get ready sometime to defend her
self, and now in the future she will
be able to do so. She certainly could
not have afforded to let Germany gain
a victory"

Germany Not Seriously Weak
ened Yet, Thinks Major A.
Hay, Visitor Here

Its up to every citizen of every
country at war with the central pow
ers to do his share, whether he is
enrolled with the. military forces or
not" declared Maj. A. Hay, a Brit
ish army officer aboard liner In
port today. ..-..., .... ......
Mai. Hay speaks with the directness
and brevity of an American business
man, but In every other respect he Is
Characteristic Of the highly educated
British officer. His tendency to-
ward Americanism in his speech can
perhaps be explained by the appeared
fact that he is cosmopolitan, and
has travelled extensively, especially
since the war began. He says this
travelling has been necessitated by
private business affairs and that he
has been relieved. from government
duty during the past year, but hopes
again to be called into service when
he reaches Canada. If so, he will con-
tinue on to London. "
When the war started Maj. Hay was
ordered to Egypt In charge of light
horse remounts, but arrived there al.
ter the early Egyptian campaign was
nearly over. This was two years ago,
and then he spent, he says, year in
Australia, attending to personal az
fairs. The nature of these affairs he
does not disclose, leaving one, unin-
tentionally, with the impression that
he may not have been as inactive
in government work as he indicates.

the duty of every citizen Of all the
countries at war with Germany and
