RUSH RECRUITING
mus. NAVY HERE
Stations Are Being Opened on
Cruiser st. Louis and Sub
marine Tender Alert

For the first time in the history of
Honolulu, naval recruiting station on
a United States cruiser is being es-
tablished this afternoon on board the
~. s. s. st. Louis.
Shortly before noon today the Star
Bulletin received word that this was
to be done and the report was con-
|firmed shortly afterward by Lieut..
Sylvester H. Lawton, Jr., executive OF.
ficer of the big fighting craft.
Lieut.. Lawton will be in general
charge of the station, which is to be
established either on the navy pier or
aboard the vessel, but probably on the
wharf while the cruiser Is in port. 1t
is thought that the officer to be placed
in active charge will be John Mar
shall, chief boatswain's mate Of the
ST. Louis.
Not only viii recruiting be carried
on by the st. Louis, but the U. SIS.
Alert. mother ship of the third subma-
.rine division, will be headquarters for
recruiting Of men for the undersea
raiders of Uncle Sans navy.
We are hoping to enlist enough
st Louis materially" said Lieut.. Law
ton. "We now have only 240 men,
about third our full complement. We
intend to interest the technical schools
OF Honolulu as well, to get available
men listed; men who could be used in
an emergency. Those who enlist here
will be given, their preliminary train
ing aboard the st. Louis or on the,
submarines at Pearl Harbor and their
further assignment would be decided
either by the commandant or the navy
department.
The recruiting station. signs for
which we're posted this afternoon at
the entrance gate to Navy Pier No 2
on Allen street. will be open, accord
ing to the cruisers executive officer,
from 10:45 a. m. to p. m. each day
while the st. Louis is in port.
Lieut. Lawton explained that the re-
cruiting method is not because of the
present serious international. situa.
ton, but is following out the general
plan for increasing the navy's enlisted
strength to conform with the fncrease
required under the new navy bill.
Effective Last Summer
Orders received here from the navy
department within the last few weeks
gave instructions to establish recruit
ing stations aboard the naval vessels
stationed in the territory. The age
limit is from Ii to 80 years and all
Honolulans who want to serve their
country's navy will never have a bet.
ter opportunity than today.

RAPID TRANSIT
now READY
KALAkAUA AVE.
Work of Relocating Tracks to.
Begin Next Week, Mana
ger Announces

That the Raid Transit & Land
Company will START lext week relocat-
ing its tracks a Central position on
Kalakaua avenS announced this
morning by C. g. Ballentyne, mana.
ger. Practically all OF the material
necessary for the construction has ar.
rived and the work Is to be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible.
The first work undertaken will be
the pouring of concrete base on
which the tracks will rest Under
favorable weather conditions this
should not take long and by the time
the makai side of the road is paved,
estimated at the middle Of April, the
laying of the tracks should be well
under way.
AS result, with two companies
working on Kalakaua avenue there Is
likely to be congestion of the auto
mobile traffic until the makai side Of
the avenue is paved and opened to
the public.
This announcement now ends any
complications between the city and
the transit company which last year
appeared serious. When the matter
of paving Kalakaua avenue first came
up and the street railway company
was requested to move its tracks to
the middle Of the street, laying a Ger.
tain grade of rail. it replied that 1t
would be impossible for them to do so
as the rails could not be brought here
until late in 1917, in which case the
paving of Kalakaua avenue would
have been delayed many months. Feel
ing ran high and II appeared for a
time as If the matter would be taken
to court by the city to force the CON-.
pany to do the work. II was, however.
finally compromised by changing the
weight of rails required.
It was also estimated today that
the paving contract would probably
be entirely finished before August,
no long delays occurred.
