Washington, March 25.-President
Wilson has signed am order authoriz-
ing the increase of the navy to $1,000
men from the present authorized
strength of 74,500. He took the step
under authority granted by congress
in case Of national emergency
The present actual strength of the
navy is $4,000 men. The additional
men will be used to man reserve
ships.
The Journal last night received the
following telegram from Secretary Of
the Navy Josephus Daniels, asking
the Journals aid in recruiting for the
additional strength necessary to man
the reserve ships;
The president last night signed an
executive order directing that the All
thOrized enlisted strength of the navy
be increased to $1,000. He was au-
thorized by congress, in case of emer-
gency, to direct such increase in en-
lstment. New ships and ships in re-
serve are being fully commissioned as
rapidly as possible and the need is i'm
peratiVe for a larger enlistment to
man them. There has been a net in
crease of over $500 in enlistmcnts
since congress recently authorized an
increase, but many more are needed,
and needed now.
Will you not emphasize this need
by giving special prominence Monday
on the first page of your paper to the
presidents order, and also by making
an editorial appeal for new recruits
for the navy?
THE navy offers exceptional ad-
vantages to young men Of stuff and
ambition to serve in the nrst line for
national defense. In this emergency
YOU have the opportunity and the
privilege of performing this public
service, and l am confidently appeal
ing to you for your cordial and help
ful cooperation.

Washington, March 25.-Presidcnt
Wilson took steps today to place the
nation on war footing
by executive order he directed that
the navy be recruited without delay
to fun authorized war strength Of
$1,000 enlisted men. Taken in con-
ncction with emergency naval con-
struction already ordered, this
means that the president has eXer-
cised the full limit of his legal powers
as commander-iu-c to prepare the
navy for war
For the army the president directed
that two new military departments he
created in the Atlantic coast region.
The order means that the task of or
gani2ing whatever army congress may
authorize will be divided among six
departmental commanders, instead Of
four in the interest of speed and eff
ficiency in mobilization.
National Guard Called.
The third step was to assume as Il
national duty the task of protecting
American Industries from domestic
disorders in the event Of hostiltes.
For this purpose eleven fun infantry
regiments, two separate h1ttalions
and one separate company of tho ma
tiOnal guard were called back into the
federal service to act as national pO-
lice in important districts, supple
menting these troops, regiment Of

for Democratic Harmony in
House,
REPUBLICANS ALSO IN
BAD DISCRIMINATION


Washington, March 35-Wnh the
convening of congress in extra session
only a week off, congressional lead
ers are here for conferences with ad-
ministration officials over legislation
demanded by the virtual state of war
existing between the United States
and Germany.
Aside from tho great business for
which congress has been called the
question of organization is chiefly oc-
cupying the house leaders Both
democrats and republicans said to-
night that a speaker probably would
be elected soon after the house as
sembled, but that the organization Of
committees presented a problem the
result of which no one could forecast
Trouble in Both Camps.
The attitude Of the so-called wet
members ana son.v Of the northern
democrats is worrying the democrats,
while the republicans are troubled
over their progressive wing. Any Of
these elements might easily wreck the
organization plans of the majority Of
either side and some observers are
predicting that abolition of tie senior
ity rule in filling committee chair
manships will be the first manifesto
tion of their strength.
Feeling among democrats over com
mittee assignments was bitter at the
close Of the last congress. The "wets,
of whom there are about a score, an
gered over prohibition legislation, de
clared that they would see several
democratic chairmen displaced at this
session if they had to vote with the
republicans In turn democratic
"drys' declared openly that any in
surgent movement by the "wets"
would result in their summary rele-
cation to the foot of committees.
NOrthCIncrS Discontcntcd.
Discomfort among northern demo-
Gratis over southern members holding

While only small raiding operations
and artillery duels have been reported
from the Russian front. dispatch
from Petrograd says there is indisput-
able evidence that the Germans are
bringing up large numbers of troops
on the northern part of the line for
an effort to break through toward
Petrograd. The spring thaws are

The usual artillery duels and small

taken from vessels destroyed by the

are Americans has not been stated.

SELLS FOR $500
Hawaii Fruit is Auctioned Off

record for a Hawaiian pineapple was
paid on the Niagara last night SO
pounds and fraction, over $500, and
1t wasn't much of a pineapple at
that, as Honolulans know that iruit.
II was q small and scrubby speci-
men, but II sold for over $500 In
money of English, American, Cana.

The reeord-breaKlng pineapple was
sold at auction for the benefit of the
Canadian Red Cross. The auction
was the central event OF q benefit on
the last night out of the Niagara. r.
A. Maefie, who many years ago was
manager of Kilauea and who is still
largely interested there, was tue en-
ergetic aud efficient auctioneer.
Uncle Robert" Levers started the
bidding at SO and it ran mp swiftly
at a pace that would have made Ha-
waits pineapple men, Jim Dole ct al,
sit up and take notice. II Hawaii's
pineapple crop for 1917 were to sell
at the rate this single fruit brought,
it would make the profit on 7-cent
sugar look like q plugged nickel, and
leave enough over to pave Beretania
street.
The Honolulu bunch" on board
made a pot after individual bids were
in, and kept the ball rolling. Suva
came back with another pot and Su-
vas splendid young men on their way
to the front finally carried off the
trophy, decorated with American and
British flags.
HonolUlans figured largely in the
shipboard festivities on the way up.

of money to be expended and the share TO be derived
from increased taxation sufficient to the
selfish interest of every taxpayer to see that the
money il handled with reasonable care.
There Is not member of the board of supervisors
who was elected on the basis of his partizanship.
Not a member was given the license or the sugges-

been associated to turn the business of the city into

Waste of time at this juncture in petty game

Loyal citizens of Honolulu demand efficiency and

insist that the men selected to carry forward the
