SAILOR SHORTAGE
FELT ON PACIFIC
Windiammers At Northern Ports
Unable To Secure Crews Of
Certified Seamen

Windjammers loading on the Pacific
Coast for Hawaii and other off-shore
ports are in a sorry predicament on ac-
count Of the general scarcity of certi.
led seamen. San Francisco has not yet
suffered to any great extent from this
state Of affairs, but north Pacific coast
ports, which use the sailing craft al.
most exclusively to transport their lum-
Der output to oversee points, are hard
pressed for solution OF the problem.
The opening of the Alaska fishing sea
on has much to do with the shortage
II sailors whose competency has been
approved by United States government
)fnciaIs, many Of whom prefer more
lucrative season in the northern waters
o lengthy voyage to a foreign land.
Many sailing vessels are eitherin the
sarious lumber ports at present or have
oeen chartered TO loan on the north
Pacific in, the near future, and from
resent indications, a number of these
hips will have to complete their crews
Is best they can. In addition to this
Jregon and Washington shipyards are
urning out wooden vessels at ratI
# speed never before equalled or even
approached. The big majority of these

Probably the most serious delay in

schooner Henry X. Hall on the Colum.
jia River For the past thirty days tho
9essel has been loaded and ready fol
ca and it was only yesterday that
he completed her complement. by
ringing three seamen from Puge,
;ound. The men were not certified but
is believed that the Hall will obtain
,ermission to sail by depositing the
visionary fine, which the vessel may

I What has leaked out the last few
days from governmental and military
headquarters concerning recent events
increases the prospect that one
regiment and perhaps all regiments Of
the Hawaiian units Of the national

I The best presumption that can be
based on present information is that
the First Hawaiian Infantry win be
on duty by Thursday at the very lat

Fort Shafter.
The Second United States Infantry
may be ON it's way TO the mainland be.
fore the end of the week.
All movements of troops and details
of mobilization in the event of a

to be called first for service under the
second draft is made plain by Provost
Marshal Crowder in an official COM
munication to Adjutant, General c. S.
Moody which Is being sent to all coun-
ty boards together with under instruc-

calls. 1t is desired as far as possible
to fill all quotas after Dec. 10 from

ance with order number so far as pos
sible. and notice of final classification
by district board shall be mailed to
registrants Immediately upon return
of case from district board.
In accordance with section 1872 the
provost marshal generel hereby directs
