ALETTER FROM HAWAII

The following is part of letter
which was written to friend in
Liberal:
"Well, we are going to have a
great display, for the congressman
who are visiting the island, here to-
morrow night. We are going to have
battle. Some of the men are going
to defend the trenches>and some are
going to capture them. The guns
will be fired and the bombs will be
exploded. OF course, the ammunition
for the rifles and pistols will be blank.
That is, it will have the powder but
no bullet. The bombs and mines will
be exploded when there is no danger
Of hurting anyone. We have been
practicing about week. There were
eight men picked from the company,
and / happened to be one of them.
We practice morning, afternoon and
night. The affair will be pulled off
after dark, and the ground is to be
lighted by Illuminating bombs and
trench lights, or large electric lamps.
The bombs are shot into the air and
explode, lighting up the grounds for
about radius of 500 yards. They
hang in the air by two small para
chutes and do not come to the ground
until they are burned up, which takes
several minutes. l wish you could
see it. / am sure it will be interest
