The executive order Of the Presi.
dent, declaring the sale of intoxicants
and the maintenance of bawdy houses
within FIVE miles of any camp, in the
one case, and military establishment in
the other federal offenses, has reached
Honolulu IN the files of the "Oficial
Bulletin and the official copy of the
order, upon, which the local federal au.
thorities are empowered to take action
is expected this week. ag
When that official copy Is received Il
will not be health for anyone to be
caught with booze within FIVE miles
of Schofeld Barracks or half a mile of
Shafter, where there are "camps. I" The
law cannot be made to prevent liquor
selling in downtown Honolulu with.
in half mile Of Fort Armstrong, un.
less that reservation can be made II
fit the legal definition of what O
camp is. The presidential order,
covering the sale of booze confines il
self strictly TO camps and not forts
and posts. i

The order is most specific, however
regarding bawdy houses and the effect
If an adequate enforcement of the
terms Of the Selective Draft Act will
be to wipe out Iwilei--which is run.
ming practically wide open again-and
its little eounterparts throughout the
city. There is no half mile limit with
a municipality for them, nor will there
be the slightest mercy on them, ne.
cording to District Attorney Huber,
who has e plan of campaign fairly
well mapped out. ...
The section OF the executive order af
fecting the red lights says:
Under authority of Section 13'of
the same act the keeping or setting
up of houses of i'll fame, brothels,
or bawdy houses within FIVE (5)
miles, of any military camp, station,
| fort, post, ,cantonment, training, or
mobilization place being used for
military, purposes by the United
States is prohibited.
No Treating Allowed
| One thing the presidential order re
garding booze viii do will be to settle
he question as to whether it is within
the law to "give" a drink to a soldier
II the tabu area. The general law pro
hibits the "selling" only. Under tn,
regulation establishing the fve.mil,
limit outside of municipalities and the
half mile limit within municipalities, il
is illegal to give or serve a soldier OF
sailor a drink. Members of the mill
tary forces cannot even be served will
intoxicants in private home Of which
they are guests, whether they are il
Uniform or out of it. The wording o.
the order on this point is explicit, say
