PRESERVATION
 NEXT TUESDAY
Probable That Instructions and Blanks Will Be Received on the Mail Which Is Expected
 to Arrive Today

Registration in compliance with the terms of the conscription law Is to take place throughout the country on Tuesday next. No copy of the law, nor the instructions of the government officials relative to the exc cution of the law, have reached here as vet, and only surmise based on the meager press dispatches can be used for the pur- pose of gaining an idea of the laws scope.
 However, Deputy Marshal Percy Charles received telegraphic advices few days ago to the effect that the necessary blanks and instructions had been mailed to him from Fairbanks, and it is expected that they will arrive by the first mail, which is now due. Until such time as these have been received no announcement can be made by the local officials with reference to the registration.
 It may be presumed that the registration, which is for all males between the ages of 2l and 30, inclusive, will take place at the offices of the marshal in Iditarod and Flat. It appears that no one is exempt, and while it is possible that married men and some others will not be drafted under the present plans, still they must register. For eigners of all nationalities are also expected to register it appears.
 It is also unknown here how many men are to be drafted from Alaska for the first call for 5OO,O00 men. Judging by the re- gently published statement that 5000 men are to be furnished by the state of Wash ington, which in 1910 had 8 population of slightly more than 100000, Alaska's pro- portion is bound to be small. The popula- ton of the territory is not to exceed 5o,o0o.
 It is also understood that penalties are provided for failure to register, so that it behoovss everybody to acquaint themselves with the provisions of the law as soon as possible after the arrival of the documents.

FIRE DAMAGES ROAD

Fire on the tundra south of the city on Sunday last, probably caused by the care lessness of some pedestrian in throwing 8 lighted match or cigarette on the dry grasses and moss, resulted in considerable stretch of the road to Flat being damaged. The fire ate its way into the corduroy of the road, finally burning itself out. The attention of travellers is called to the dan ger of fire started in this manner. The tundra is exceptionally dry this summer, and disastrous conhagration may be the result of somebody's csrelessness.

Feminine RACE
To Be FEATURE
Girls From KunaIu Boat Club
Will Appear in Six Dared
Barge Race

Old Father Neptune, who has been
clinging to the horizon considerably
of late, has not neglected the educa'
ton of his daughters. Girls do not
play baseball as a rule, and they keep
away from the gridiron sport, but they
do swim and they do row.
Last week we had an opportunity
to see them swim. This week they
are scheduled to row, and the fem.
irine barge race promises to be one
OF the most interesting events on Re,
gatta Day. The members Of the Ku.
ralu Boat Club are out on the harbor
every evening, and are training faith
fully for what in their estimation is
the big race of the day.
Last year the two girl crews made
a pretty race of it until the winner
ran into the Nippon Maru, and was
declared victor. This year the girls
are more experienced, and promise to
give the. spectators a real race from
start TO finish.
They Need Boats
The Kunalu Boat Club has been the
one club in Honolulu to work for
rowing among the fair sex, and this
healthy outdoor sport has done much
for the young ladies'. They need two
barges, and last year raised a small
sum toward the purchase of boats,
but they need more, and some kind
hearted soul with an over abundance
Of the long green couldn't do better
than contribute little to the club.
Everyone interested in rowing reaH-
zes that this exercise means much
to the young ladies, and whereas the
men can make arrangements for
barges, the feminine crews are forced
to borrow when the time comes for
a race.
This year the Reds and Blues will
compete in six cared barge race,
and at the present time both crews
are confident. The Reds will have
a number of the members Of last
years crew back, while the Blues are
building up new crew.
Those who will row for the Blues
are: Florence Lee, stroke; Mele VIII.
l;ams, No. 5; Margaret McLennan, No.
4; Agnes Dunn, No. g.; Violet Lucas,
No. 2. and DagnIar Madsen, No. /.
The Blue contingent is as follows:
Ruth Carter, stroke; Florence Car.
ledge, No. 5; Sarah Searle, No. 4:
Maud O'Sullivan, No. 8; Abbie Lucas,
NO. z, and Jessie Searle, No. /.

RED CROSS C0NsERVEs
ALL OLD PERIODICALS
IBy Associated Press1

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Conserva-
ton of old magazines and books has
been added by the Red Cross to the
general idea of conservation along
other lines. There is strong demand
for reading matter among the soldiers
and sailors of the nation, no matter
where they may be posted, and or
CARNATIONS of all kinds are interest
ing themselves in the work Of seeing
to it that nothing of readable
character shall be thrown out or des-
troyed. Militiamen who are guard
ing tunnels and bridges in out of the
way locations, many of them fa-
from any city or town, have nothing
with which to amuSe themselves
during their leisure moments while
off guard and reading matter is eager
ly sought by them. The same applies
to the men in the various camps and
on board war vessels. No monthly
or weekly magazine is considered SO
much of a back number not to contain
some article or story which will help
to pleasantly pass the time.

A. A. u. OFFICERS
WILL Be ELECTED
MONDAY, SEPT. II

A meeting of the Hawaiian Asso-
citation of the A. A. U. will be held
on Monday afternoon at the office of
W. T. Rawlins At that time officers
will be elected for the ensuing year.
A president will be elected to sue
coed w. T. Rawlins, and it is rumored
that Lorrin Andrews will not run for
secretary-treasurer this year. He has
been mentioned for the presidency.
There has been some talk of A. T.
Longley and John Soper Withdrawing
their names as candidates for office.
Dad Center, Harold Castle, Ben
Clark, Charles Stillman and Lorrin
Andrews have been mentioned for the
presidency. Either one of these men
ought to be acceptable to the swim
mers, track men and baseball play
ers. If vote. was taken among the
men holding registration cards in the
city, Glenn Jackson would naturally
be the choice as chairman of the reg
istration committee. He has been a
member of the committee for some
time, and has always been courteous.
He is friend of the swimmers, base
ball players and track men, and mas
much as these athletics are most af-
tected, should be an ideal man for the
position. Joe Stickney has been men
toned for secretary.treasurer.
