Without knowledge of the des.
patch from Washington quoted above,
Governor Pinkham announced last
night, in the course of n speech deliv.
cred at the banquet given in honor of
Niscount Ishii and the japanese mis-.
sion to America, that company of
Hawaiian. born Japanese will be raised
Immediately as an infantry unit of the
National Guard Of Hawaii.
Orders already issued to Brigadier.
General johnson, adjutant general of
the national guard, specify that this
company will form Part of the first
regiment.
Many Volunteer For Army
Still broader in it's scope than the
Governor order, however, is the op.
pOrtunity offered by the provost mar.
shal to japanese Of foreign birth who
wish to serve the country of their resi-.
dence, if not of their adoption.
As "friendly aliens" they may
volunteer for service in the National
Army. The National Army is not the
United States Army, the REGULARS 10;
it is the army now being raised under
the terms of the selective draft, and
those terms do not permit citizens to
volunteer.
Citizens must abide the result Of the
draft, but since aliens, whether friend.
ly or not, cannot be drafted, those who
are friendly are given the alternative
opportunity Of volunteering.
In his announcement last night, this
is the language used by the Governor:
''This day l have resolved ny wire
less from the other islands information
that enables me to know wherein we
can invite the japanese to legally join
the national guard, and orders have
been issued TO the adjutant general to
form a company of Japanese for the
National Guard of Hawaii"
The information from the other
islands TO which the Governor referred
is the strength of Hawaiian born Jap,
anese registered, as disclosed in the re-
turns to the central board of registra-
tion. a. .r..'.
The returns TO the central board show
that there are 500 such japanese for the
entire Territory, divided as follows:
Oahu, 1913; Hawaii, 225; Kauai, 100,
and Maui, IS.
Enough For One Company
There are $50 men In company of
infantry, and the number of Hawaiian
born Japanese on Oahu, allowing for
probable exemptions, is thus sufficient
TO form one company. On Hawaii the
number is even greater, and there was
talk among guard officers last night of
a possible second Japanese company, to
form part OF the second regiment, now
in process of reorganization.
In his order to General johnson the
Governor wrotsi

WASHINGTON, August 7--Regunip-
tion in the senate Of the debate on
food control legislation brought some
bitter exchanges between the senators.
One Of the most bitter Of these was
between Senators Chamberiain pLd
Gore after senator Reed had attacked

them "a head the adminfstratinn of
fond control under measure that gave
such wide powers as those embodied in
the bill under consideration.
Gore followed Reed and insisted that
the eonferees had yielded the best
judgement of the senate to the desire
and the judgement of the President.
Senator Chamberlain then assailed
Gore. He declared that he had con
sisteutly objected not to the food con,
troll bill alone but to every other ad
ministration measure and that he nev,
er lost an opportunity to attack the
chief executive by imendo. This Gore
vigorously denied. >. I
Debate came up yesterday when the
senate took up consideration of the re.
port of the conference committee Of
the compromise measure upon which
they had agreed and on two points of
which the senate had secured its de.
sires as against those of the President.
Leaders said yesterday afternoon that
they expect that the measure will pass
tomorrow.

said last night that webther in canton.
ments in this country or in service in
the trenches in France guardsmen who
are drafted win be allowed to vote
provided that the respective States
will establish voting machines. The
only difficulty inj the way OF such sol,

waiian born and alien japanese of the
age stipulated for service.
"You are therefore directed to Sc
cure enlistments of a sufficient number
Of Hawaiian-born japanese to form u
company of infantry, to be attached to
the First Regiment, National Guard of
Hawaii"
Another point touched by inference
in the provost marshal's ruling is the
status of Filipino members of the guard.
In spite of the recent decision of Judge
Vaughan of the United States district
court here that Flipinos are ineligible
to citizenship, two Filipino companies
of the guard have been retained, pend.
ing a final adjudication of the question,
which undoubtedly will 60 ultima tely to
the United States Supreme Court.
May Let Filipinos In
In the meantime, bill is pending in
Congress which would permit FiIipinos
to enlist in the national guard. Officers
Of the guard were not certain last night
whether the provost marshaI's order
opened the guard to Filipinos or wheth,
er II still would be necessary to await
action by Congress. Z .,'..
. II was pointed out that the National
army now being drafted is an emer
gency organization which will be dis,
banded after the declaration of peace,
whereas the national guard is permu
nent organizatiop,s hitherto open to citi
xens only, ..t,-a
An Emergency Measure
In times of great emergency it might
be thought wise to open the temporary
organization to all who wished and
were fit to serve the country, while re-
tanning the more exclusive regulations
governing the composition Of the perm.
anent organization. Those holding this
view pointed to the fact that the com.
position Of the regular army is left un
changed.
News items from the HilO papers
show that the two races claiming the
lowest percentage of exemptions from
the draft were, the Filipinos, and the
Japanese. Analysis of returns from
some precincts showed that less than
ten per cent of the Filipinos sought to
be excused from service, and Sheriff Pua
is quoted as saying that the typical
reply of the Japanese TO the question
DO you claim exemptionl" was
"When you want me GOT"

BROWN CRICKET.

Brown cricket was so happy to think
the meadow folk had asked her to open
their concert with song that she
didn't notice Johnny Grasshopper turn
his back and disappear under the
grasses.
Johnny Grasshopper had hoped he
would be asked to sing, but no one but
his best friend seemed to think he
could sing at ALL or course, Johnny
Grasshopper thought there wasn't a
voice in the meadow quite so rich as
his. and when he heard Brown Cricket
accept the invitation it made him very
cross.
Isn't 1t lovely of them to ask Ame!"
chirped Brown Cricket to Woolley
Worm. There's Katy did and Johnny
Grasshopper, who both have nice
voices"
Yes, there are plenty of pleasant
voices among the meadow singers, but
your songs always seem SO CHEEKY
every one feels better after listening to
them," replied Woolley Worm, and she
promised to call for Brown Cricket in
plenty Of time for the concert.
Now 1T happened that Johnny Grass
hopper heard their conversation, and
he made up his mind the best way to
get a chance himself to sing was to
keep Brown Cricket from reaching the
concert on time, so he spent all day
trying to find a way. When he saw
Woolley Worm stop at Brown Cricket's
house he hcpped along among the dead
grasses so they couldn't see him. And
when Brown Cricket and Woolley
| Worm took to the smooth road Johnny
Grasshopper stopped them and said
he feared they would be late II they
| went that way.
I've found much shorter way II
you care to come with me-" said John

They hadn't travelled far when they

looking back he hoped out of sight.

She looked around, then she hoppet
