A. e. Davidson, local agent for the

morning that while they would have
sufficient Oil to meet the demands o.
their old contracts, that on account
Of the uncertain transportation facili

any new orders. They have received
orders to conserve their supply.
When questioned this morning the

not give any reasons for this stand.

WAR RELIEF
BODY RECEIVES
U.S.. Recognition

The War Relief Committee today
received wireless notification from
the American Red Cross In Washing
ton that its application to become an
auxiliary of the main organization
had been approved.
This gives the War Relief Com
mittee an official status" declared
A. L. Castle, and We shall have no
hesitancy now in going ahead on a
financial and membership campaign.
We received also 5000 membership
blanks from the American Red Cross,
and as soon as we have perfected
plans we shall go ahead and try for
members. The least a person can do
under the present circumstances is to
join the Red Cross. II Is inconceiv-
able that anyone could refuse to join.
In addition to memberships, how!
ever, we desire regular monthly or
quarterly contributions, so that regu'
lar remittances may be made to
Washington, and also the fine work
continued by the ladies Of the Ha.
waiian Allied Wal Relief, which is
now affiliated with our body. We
hope to be able to handle all the
finances for them and to relieve them
Of this part OF the work. Hawaii
hasn't yet begun to give, and won't
until we reach the point suggested by
the Boston Herald, II you haven't
paid until it hurt, than you haven:
begun to pay"
Here is what the American Red
Cross is providing for American
troops:
Fifty movable base hospitals, COM
pletely equipped with the best ply
sicians, surgeons and nurses IN the
country, ready for instant service;
each hospital capable Of caring for
the wounded Of an army OF 10000
men. D..
Fifty ambulance companies TO carry
the wounded to these hospitals.
Two hundred to four hundred sani-
tsry training detachments to train an
adequate force Of men for the army
medical corps.
B Huge supply depots, strategically
situated to receive and distribute sup
plies Of every kind needed by CUP sol

HAWAII EXPECTS
TO enroll 5000
IN REGISTRATION
Especial s.ar-Buns.tn corr.spond.nes.l


HILO, Hawaii, July 27.-If the est
mate OF County Clerk Archie Hapai
turns out to be correct, he and h!s
assistants will register about 5000
men on Tuesday for the selectiVe
draft.
The county clerk has been very
busy sending out the necessary sup
plies for the registration work and
thousands Of blanks and cards have
been shipped to the various centers.
The cards will be given to every man
who registers and that will be his
proof that he has registered.
Some amusing things have happen
ed In connection with those people
who are wishing to register before
the date for so doing. One man saw
the county clerk the other day and
when asked when he was born, de-
clared that he had come into the
world in the year 2509: That stump
ed Hapai and he asked for the answer
again. Once more the reply was 1909.
Why, we haven't reached that year
yet" exclaimed the astounded coun-
ty clerk. Il don't care, that is my
year." returned the applicant for reg
istration and that made Hapai wonder
If the man was sane or not 1t later
on developed that what the man was
trying to state was that he was TWEEN
ty.five years and nine months old.
This registration affair is going
to cost a lot Of money said County
Clerk Hapai, and it will be a good
job when it is all over. While l say
We may register nine thousand men, it
may turn out that only six thousand
respond to the call"
