Careless Comments
On War Subjected
To Investigation
Man Purported to Have Spoken
Slightly of Service Ex-
Generated BY U. S.

Ware your speech! Too much talk
ing these days, especially If 1t is com.
nent, pro or con, regarding America s
entry into the war, may end seriously.
After thorough sitting of the facts,
in which federal officials, the central
registration board and at least one
judge had a hand, remarks, which
are declared to have been made when
several circuit court employees and an
employe of the city and county in
dulged in a 'taIk-fest" recently, have
been declared not detrimental and the
incident dropped, according to reports
given out today.
There was one among those who
did the talking who apparently took
oftenSe at certain remarks made, and
ne informed the central registration
board OF what had transpired. The
board took his verbal report and, after
looking it over, laid it before federal
officials.
Federal officials say that. after a
careful investigation, the incident has
been dropped, largely through the be-
lief that the statements were not ut
tered maliciously. That they had a
pacifist flavor, however, is net denied.
According to those who conducted
the investigation, there was a discus
sion over the decision of a local Or
ganization to offer it's services to the
country If needed One man Is re-
ported to have made the statement
that the members of this organization
were making a bluff at loyalty by
volunteering to CO." Another, in re-
ply to this, is alleged to have re-
marked that a man would "be a fool
to volunteer If he was not going"
Whereupon the first man is said to
have retorted: 1T looks like their
bluff has been called and they will
be made to CO."
From what could be learned today,
comment on the registration and Sc
lective draft was also injected into the
conversation

AUSTRALIAN
MEN INVESTIGATE
LOCAL.COND|7IONS
Tells of Government Work in
Providing for Manned
Soldiers

Coming here in the interests Of a
movement for the repatriation OF Aus
tralian troops who have returned from
the battlefronts, disabled and unfit
for further military service, Joseph
Rose and James Sparkes Of Queens
land, Australia, are in Honolulu inves-
tigating all phases Of the local pine
apple industry. They arrived in Homo
lulu on the Sierra and expect to be
here about two weeks, afterwards 60
ing to San Francisco, where they will
spend another two weeks before they
report back to Australia.
Joseph Rose has been appointed
supervisor of the returning soldiers
settlement committee of Queensland.
He has been a pineapple grower for
many years and his working compan-
ion, James Sparkes,, is one of the
leading Gamers of the state. Tie lat
ter has been appointed the works
manager of the proposed scheme.
Recognizing America as the home Of
the most modern methods of canning
fruit and up-to-date canning machin-
cry, the men stated this mornig that
the government had gone to consider
able expense to make a thorough in
vestigation before starting on the
work planned.
Different states of Australia are
now seriously engaged in the great
work of repatriating these men who
can fight no longer. In some places
small stores have been given them,
some have been made BARRIERS, and
many have been put on farms.
I'VE are making provisions now for
putting 500 soldiers on plots of land
ranging all the way from 20 to so
acres, which will be put into pineap-
pies. Besides the men are given $500
apiece to start their work. This money
is to be paid back to the government
within 40 years time. After two
years a ~ per cent interest must
be paid on it, said Mr.. Rose, who is
directing this work.
The machinery is being built by
the government to take care of the
pines which this great settlement of
soldiers will raise" commented Mr..
Sparkes. I'm our state the govern
ment has taken over and is man.
aging many such plants. The govern
ment owns its own sawmill and ranch
among other things. This has worked
for SO short time it is hard to say
just how great success it is.
II do not think that our canned pine
apples will be shipped into the Amer
lean markets to compete with the Ha-
waiian product" stated Mr.. Sparkes.
Labor is too high in Australia to
compete with the labor that you get
here. An ordinary laborer in Aus
tralia gets $3.50 a day and the skilled
laborer gets very much~higher wages"
Although refusing to discuss the Ia
Dor conditions in Australia freely for
political reasons both men did say in
commenting upon the work of the I.
w. W. in that country that it was
powerful influence and was a menace.
