7PHE committee composed of representatives OF
both political parties, after inquiry into condi-
tions at the barracks, unanimously found there was
foundation for the alarming reports enanatng from
Boise and that genuine for complaint had been
exaggerated The boys have had cramped quarters but
the sanitary conditions not bad and the food was
plentiful and excellent The committee inferred it might
have been mistake bring the boys here for demobil
cation instead of having them sent to Fort Douglas but
it recognized the spirit behind the desire have the boys
mustered out on home soil
That sentiment statewide and reflected in the
action of the the Boise Commercial club and
others. Without the activity and nsstence of the gov
undoubtedly the soldiers would not have been
brought here the people of Idaho desed and the ap
parent animus in the printed revelations may denote
continuance of malevoent feeling toward the
than any deep rooted interest in the welfare of
the soldiers or any desire to cooperate in the manifest
wishes of the public
One feature of the committees report is worthy of
special attention 1t states that certain writer's taking
advantage of the fact the soldiers had naturally lost
est in military matters to greater lesser extent and
impatient to civil activities had melted
feeling Of discomfort in the ranks.
1t is not difficult to do that, with any body of men,
with any section with any class of citizens when
dertaken by those in whom confidence had been re-
posed.
Can it be said that such policies wholesome in
fucnce the public mind? Is not brand of mischief

emanates from respectable sources?

these unnecessary annoyances all this reckless disturb

that he might stop for a bite to eat
and swim anoher 10 miles or so be-
fore he quit General Johnson is addi-
ton to being a good swimmer, is also
an excellent horseman, football player,
rifle shot, trap shot and a real booster
for baseball. He was heartily con-
graduated when he finished his long

Any person may enlist in the ma.

fore his name has been posted and

A number If young men who we're
posted on the mainland have come to
Hawaii, and have asked whether they
will be eligible ito join the national
guard here. AlA these men will be
forced to return 10 the mainland as
soon as they are called out.
This ruling does lot prevent those
who have registered IN Honolulu from
joining the national guard, and all
who have registered in the islands are
eligible for admission, providing they
meet with the local requirements Of
the local militia.
It is expected that . large number

fore their numbers are drawn in the

to open for settlers forthwith all pub

upon which leases are shortly to e..
