PROMISES TO Be
GOOD, THEN RUNS
AWAY and HIDES
Youngster Who Prefers Road to
Home Will Be Sent to Wal
alec Reform School

Five minutes after he had solemnly
promised Circuit Judge Heen that he
would return to the Gospel mission
home in Palolo and never run away
again, a 9-year-old boy sneaked out OF
juvenile court and from under the
watehful eye of Probation Officer Jo-
seph Leal yesterday afternoon and
was finally located this morning back
of the Y. Ahoo stables.
The youngster was summoned be-
fore Judge Heen for running away
from the mission. He had committed
this offense on several occasions and
each time was found miles away from
the institution. Each time the search
for him lasted three or four days. At
times he would take his smaller
brother, also an inmate of the home,
with him
So yesterday afternoon judge Heen
heard tie case. The youngster prom
ised faithfully that he wouIG behave
himself in the future and ne1er 1Ln
away again. The judge sent him out
into the clerks office to wait until
he could be taken back to the home
Instead of waiting he hit the rad"
again and Officer Leal rounded am.
I'D this morning.
He will be committed to the boys
industrial school at Waialee.

REGISTRY
BOARD WORK
COMPLETED
Cards Are Records Turned Over
to Exemption Officers; Oahu
Returns are incomplete

, ,PON instructions from Maj. F. j.
Green, officer in charge of the Sc
~ lectiye draft for the territory,
Sheriff Charles H. Rose and the Homo
lulu registration board Of which he
is chairman, today turned over all
their registration cards and records
to a representative of the two local
exemption boards. -,
With this action the Honolulu regis
tration board goes out Of existence,
and any further registration that may
be done henceforth will be handled
by the exemption boards for this city.
The exemption bodies will also COM
plete the asserting work on which
the registration board has been en-
gagged since August l.
Oahu stands out as the one island
which has not completed its registra-
ton returns. Maui and Kauai came
in weeks ago and Hawaiis finals have
been finished several days.
Coincident with this is the fact that
the same boards that handled the reg
istration work on Maui and Kauai
were reappointed for the handling of
exemptions, while new boards were
appointed for Hawaii and Honolulu.
THE local exemption boards are to
complete what work should have been
done normally by the Honolulu regis
trations board" said Chairman F. j..
Green when asked for the reason of
the present change.
We have not been informed yet
whether or not the outside islands
have completed their organizations of
exemption boards" he added. Until
this time the registration boards there
will remain. From the taking over
today of the Oahu registration papers
this board ceased to exist"
Sheriff Rose has been notified that
any further communications sent to
him in regard to registration matters
are to be turned over to headQuar-
tiers at the senate chamber in the
caDitOl.

BETTER TO CARRY
GUNS THAN GO TO
JAIL, JUDGE SAYS
Ashford Dismisses Case of Sol
diers Charged With Con-
version of Automobile

Three soldiers charged with the ma
Iicious conversion of an automobile
had their case nolle pressed in circuit
court today, because" said Judge G.
w. Ashford, ''in time Of war it is more
desirable that such a matter be left to
the military authorities for disposition
than to. send these men to prison
to serve term in stripes"
Judge Ashford pointed out, after
City Attorney A. NJ. Brown asked that
the case be nolle pressed, that at
time like the present, with the nation
under arms, young men who are
physically able to shoulder rifle are
not being put to the best use if they
are made members of chain gang.
He also declared that the case in ques.
ton was not as fragrant as the one
in which three soldiers who stole an
automobile were each given two years
and half in prison.
The enlisted men were represented
by Mai. James A. Gallogly, Judge adyo-
cate general, U. s. A. The case is
left in the hands of the local military
authorities.

LOCAL APPLICATIONS TO SHIP
GOLD TO JAPAN TURNED DOWN

censes will have to be filled out and
mailed to the bank before they will
be considered. The application blanks
provide for the furnishing of the exact
reasons and need for the transmission
of the American gold to a foreign coun.
try.
One of the Japanese wanted to send
$50, 1000 home.
The refusal Of the licenses for gold
export by the federal reserve bank is
taken here as an indication of the de-
termination Of the government to
check the sending of great amounts
of gold and silver out of the United
States. Huge sums, running up from
$5,000.000 to 100000, were passing
through Honolulu on every Maru boat
until the gold and silver embargo was
declared by the president.

IMPROVEMENTS
TO BE FEATURE
OF new BUDGET
Extensive Program of Road
Work Planned BY City for
First Six Months in 1918;
CurtaiI Expenditures From
Now Until End of Year

EXPENDITURES in general and
r road work in particular will have
- to be curtailed by the city and
county during the next three months
and the budget for this period will be
made up along those lines early next
week, according to Supervisor E. A.
Mott-Smith, chairman of the finance
committee. But while the next SO
days will be lean ones the board looks
forward hopefully to the coming of
the new year when a great deal more
money will be at its disposal owing
to increased taxation. The budget
for the six months beginning January
1 will provide for an extensive pro-
gram of road work and maintenance
and general improvement in all lines.
Meanwhile the board is preparing
to cut its coat for the next three
months according to the cloth. Such
items as salary expenditures will re-
main the same in the budget to be
made next week as in the budget
under which the city is working now,
but there will be a considerable de-
crease in the amount to be spent on
road work and the incidental bills
which come from every department
will be given a fall pruning.

I The first honors given to members
of the United States expedition
airy force in France have fallen to two
well known officers, and are, so says
the citation to General Duncan, For
assistance to our forces under cir.
cumstances of extreme danger"
The decoration is the war cross OF
France awarded for distinguished ser.
vice in battle and is the result of the
officers participation with advanced
artillery batteries in the recent Yer.
dun offensive, when they acted as OBJ
servation officers with the big guns.
General Duncan narrowly escaped
serious, perhaps fatal, injuries during
the battle, a piece of shrapnel hit
ting his steel helmet.
Maj. Campbell King was formerly at
Schofield Barracks with the LIST Infan.
try, being stationed at that post from
1912 to 1915 and leaving here for duty
with the Army Service schools at Fort
Leayenworth. In the LIST Infantry he
saw the three grades of second and
first lieutenant and captain. He came
TO Hawaii from the Army War college.
He is distinguished graduate of the
infantry and cavalry schools. . .
Brig.-Gen. Duncan is known almost
as we'll in Hawaii, though he was
never stationed here. He made a
name for himself as captain in the
Philippines when he took an active
part in the Batanagas and Albay cam
paigns in Southern Luzon.
"Old George Duncan's middle name
was Danger said one of his friends
at army headquarters today. "He liked
things with plenty of daring in them"
The officer was assigned to the End
Infantry at one time but was kept on
detached service at the Army War col
lege, then went to the 9th Infantry.

The British were not to be denied.
After days of idleness In the trenches
the pent-up enthusiasm broke loose
with the order to advance and under
cover of a terrific barrage fire the
troops leaped from their trenches
and dashed to the attack. In the ensu.
ing hours desperate hand-to-hand
fighting occurred in the Inverness,
Copse, Nuns Wood and Glencorse
Wood, after the Germans bad been
driven from their first line position.
1t was a yeoman task that con-
fronted the British infantry. Once
clear Of the barrage fire they found
themselves the object of a pitiless
stream of bullets from the reinforced
concrete redoubts of the enemy that
had survived the hail of fire from the
British artillery. On and on they
went pressing forward and driving the
enemy back from their defenses until
the thickly wooded stretches of In
'verness, Nuns and Glencorse were
reached where the Germans, temper
arily entrenching, poured a merciless
fire on the advancing infantry from
hundreds of machine guns.
Then once more the British field
pieces came into play and belched
forth death into the ranks of the Ger
mans, the barrage fire sweeping the
country like broom.
