ON a canvass thirty feet long and
ten feet high, they will personally
paint the diorama of Kilauea, as
both are very anxious to produce a
canvas that will actually and ac-
curately portray the volcano as it is
seen by the visitor today.
Mr.. Walden has painted the
sketch from which the big picture is
to be made. 1t is a night view with
magnificent coloring which effect
lively pictures the seething an d
burning lava. The sketch was
painted a few weeks ago, and it is
to be the object of Mr. Hitchcock
to point out how the present view
differs in detail from that of the
sketch, as a result of his recent trip
to the volcano. The artists expect
that it will take them a week or ten
days to complete the big diOrama
painting.
The Kilauea dioroma is one of
seven, included in which is one of
Waimea Valley ON Kauai, that are
to be shown in Honolulu during
the Carnival as scenic spots which
tourists should visit. When the

Fl, Mcpherson viii Be Ready
for the Interned German
Sailors When They Arrive
Here This Week

Fort Mcpherson has been transform
ed into a barbed wire barricade for in
termed German sailors in quicker time
than circus hands can fold their tents
and pack baggage train.
Nine companies of the Seventeenth
United States infantry arrived at Fort
Mcpherson yesterday. and by Monday

how unprepared we are in America. We
have had it hammered into us for thirty
months We have heard and read a lot
about the alleged shortcomings of the
national guard as a lighting arm of the
government. And some of the maya
zine muck-rakers have undertaken 10
startle and horrify the country with
loudly heralded exposures If the inefIi-
cheney Of the regular army.
All of which may or may not be true,
and probably is and probably isn't but
the fact remains that military training
will certainly teach a man the gentle art
of moving from place to place on his
legs and handling his hands without any
wasted motion. And that, after all, is
one Of the hardest things a raw recruit
has 10 learn. This building of a barri-
cade at Fort Mcpherson for interned Ger
man sailors was just part of the day ;
work for the bronzed soldiers of the
Seventeenth, and they went ahead and
finished the job, and the fact that they
finished il without any waste of motion
or effort is the point of the argument.
Eliminating waste of effort is the Sc
cret of efficiency Engineers are paid
thousands of dollars to achieve it in
great plants of many different kinds. The
Seventeenth is a whole regiment of eff
nClenCN engineers. Wnen they got OH
the train at Fort Mcpherson they were
ordered Immediately into action--to build
fence. And they went into action and
built it. And the civilians who stood
around and watched them were pro-
foundly convinced that these fellows
would go into action with the same eff
fcieucy If the action consisted of put
ting an enemy to rOut.
AS Captain Heidi. the local recruit.
ing officer, points out in an interview
in The Journal today. that is what mill
tary training teaches a man-tO do
mans work in a mans way, and to d.
it efficiently.
And another thing he points out which
the sun-tauned. weather-beaten faces G.

a wonderfully interesting way. and that
is the magnificent physical health of

their daily lives by fixed schedule and

But should the longing for home and
