Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir. We are at war. Today the

over land and sea, the call has come
to our isles of the mid-Pacific. ]
Il Is In these trying times that the
man-the true and yirile MANS
found. For the destiny Of the nation
hangs In the balance. =.
And there looms before me the
spectre Of that gaunt thing that has
set the world sfire; behold that
monster Of all lniQuity-Germany of
kaiserism and kultur.
Hence, my message is to those Of
my blood who, in their hearts, have
questioned the reason Of our govern
ment participating In this, the great
est conflict Of all ages.
And It is to you, my native Ha-
waiians, that this appeal Is sent-be
loyal, be true, be not traitors.
For we are at war In defense Of a
sacred cause-that of freedom and
democracy as against vassalage and
autocracy.
We stand today at the parting Of
the ways. Our Americanism must
stand the acid test II we fail in our
duty, then 1t will be evident that we
have no conception OF those sacred

Some Pointers on Registration

San Franeiseo's experiences with the military
fegistration offer some information OF value 10 ma.
waii. A former HoDolulan who served on one OF
the precinct registration boards found that severaI
questions which came I'D and were solved in Cali
fornia are likely to arise here.
Perhaps that of most general interest was the
REGISTRATION of japanese japanese, not as Mongo
iians This is particularly noteworthy because the
question of how to register japanese has confront
ed the central board here. In California, "nere
the antiJapanese sentiment has focused the state
board used discretion and the courteous treatment
OF its Japanese residents by refusing to adiudge
them MongoIians was reciprocated in the assistance
which the Nipponese gave the various boards
Every japanese who appeared before the boards
had written statement SO filed out that no inter,
pretation was necessary. The boards questions
we're written in japanese and opposite them were
the questions and answers in English. To register
the bearer was thus but matter of transcription.
The precinct boards were informed that the advance
statements had been prepared under the directions
Of the Japanese Association, and that non'members
Of the association able to secure the same serV'
ice on payment of FIVE cents each
Another point noted as of interest to Hawaii was
that the answering of the twelfth question-con-
cerning claim for exemption because OF dependent
relatives-was ruled not compulsory. 1t was held
that earlier questions concerning family gave sum
cent information to cover this in case for patriotic
leasons, the registrant did not wish to ask exemp.
Don from service.
The precinct boards also received this emphatic
ratification from the state board !: Remember you
1re at war only with Germany" b.. +. III.
In San Francisco the precinct boards did not find
the expected rush Of work on June 5, registration
day The largest precinct in the city is said to have
estered only 14O and it cost the city but 800 for
the entire day. OF course the various officials all
1erved voluntarily, without pay. "a
This would indicate that there will be no great
pressure Of work on July 81, Hawaii's registration
day. AT the same time, every possible way to se
cure full registration should be planned in advance
and brought into operation.

Suppose a person rang your door

This, discourtesy over the telephone
is but a habit, and q bad one. No dis.
respect is probably meant but It is
too often so taken by the person sum
