AUTOCEUB Will

Nineteen members of the Honolulu
Automobile Club have offered their
cars for registration day, the offer
being contained in a letter received.
this morning by the central board at
the capitol building.
While the board appreciates the Of
fer it expected that a considerably
larger number Of Honolulans would
volunteer for the day, says F. J. Green,
executive officer. He expected that
there would be at least $50 cars for
use on that day.
Some three cars have been offered
by the Honolulu Auto Supply Co., but
the total will not be enough, according
to Green. In fact the offer thus far
will hardly care for the Red Cross
workers who are to supply food to
those in the booths. The list Of auto

they have volunteered follows:

EX.MEMBERS OF GUARD
REQUIRED TO REGISTER

There appears to be considerable
confusion as to who's who in regis
tration," says Chairman Will Wayne
of the registration board. Members
Of the national guard at the present
time do not register. Members OF
the national guard reserve at the
present time do not register. Former
members of the guard do register. e
Those men recently discharged
from the national guard for the rea'
son that they had dependents do reg
lister. The fact that they were pre-
yiously members Of the guard is no
excuse for their not appearing ano
registering. The same applies to the
naval militia"

OTTAWA, Ont, July 9.-Stories OF
the superheroism of New Zealanders
at the battle Of Messines. as related
by Malcolm Ross, special cor: espon.
dent with the New Zealand forces.
are recounted IN a despatch from
London received at the agency her
of Reuters, Limited.
Ross tells how wounded officers aid
men fought on until forcibly sent
back; how a private, single-handel,
charged through the British barrage
to silence a strong enemy machine
gun emplacement, actually accom-
plishing this remarkable feat; how a
chaplain, under the heaviest fire, con.
tinuously tended wounded men from

and how, after a company's officers
had fallen one by one, the non-com
missioned officers and privates con.
tinued to carry on the fight with mi.
tiative and gal1antry.
It was thought, the despatch says,
that the high watermark Of gallantrJ
for this division was reached on the
Somme, but Messines exceeded all pre-
yious standards.

NEED OF A BUDGET

TN his final disposition of the gen.
eral appropriation bill Governor
Brumbaugh has been compelled to
follow the precedents established by
his several predecessors as a result
of the indifference of the Legislature
to the actual revenues of the Com
monwealth. From time beyond the
memory of man the lawmakers have
made it a rule to put this little game
across on the Governor and expect
him to assume the unpopular role of
the axe man on all kinds of appro-
priations.
When Pennsylvania finally gets
down TO a regular budget system this
sort of thing may be stopped, but
so long as the legislators of both the
Senate and the House protect them
selves at the expense of the Governor
the necessity for ripping out of The
biennial grants several millions of
dollars will continue. With the dis
cretionary powers vested in the Gov
ernor he must exercise his best judg-
ment in the slashing of appropria-
tions and while there is much heart
burning after the fact the whole
situation could be saved through a
proper appreciation of the conditions
when the Legislature passes the bills.

GENERAL STEWARDS PART

I'm the .stupendous work of mobiliz-
ing a national army credit where
credit is due is often unwittingly
misplaced. For years, General
Thomas j. Stewart, the head of the
National Guard organization in
Pennsylvania and the genius of the
organization in the United States, has
been giving his best thought and
energy and the power of initiative to
the development of body of citizen
soldiers which now represents a real
bulwark in the first line of defense.
General Stewart Is not sparing
himself in the eXacting work which
ization of the Guard for active serv-
ice and now that the force which he
has been steadily developing has been
called into the field it should be
known by those who do not always
stop to consider the doers of things,
but readily applaud the spectacular
figures who fit across the stage, that
the Adjutant General of this State
has contributed more than any single
individual to the organization of a
division which will give good ac-
count of itself wherever it may be
sent.
We salute General Stewart and ex-
press the hope of his friends every
where that his strength may be equal
to his zeal and patriotism in this
crisis.
