Tears and thrills, music and flowers,
weeping women and enthusiastic army

mingled into scene that was thrice
martial, festive and melancholy, when
the Niagara sailed this afternoon for
Vancouver, with IS Hawaiian residents
who have answered the call to the
British colors.
The British recruits are nearly all
well known in the islands and all have
been active members of the British
club. Scores of their friends and rela.

part, many Q mother, wife, and sweet.
heart struggling against that age-old
double emotion Of pride and sorrow
so often experienced when bidding
good bye to volunteer.
Typical Of Hawaii we're the album
dance Of leis worn by the departing
Britishers. All were supplied with q
lei by the British club, but many were
scarcely discernible because Of the
number Of leis enwrapped about them
by friends and relatives. Each Of the
recruits was also presented with q
collection Of photok recently made by
the British club.
This is the second contingent OF
volunteers for the British army which
has left Honolulu in two months. An
other consisting Of % men left last
o.5nth, and stiIl another of 20 or so
men Is expected to go on the next
Union liner to Vancouver.
In honor Of the departing British
recruits the Hawaiian band was pres

Berlin foreign office, in which he re-
quested authority to pay the sum OF

The communication indicsted that

AS a result Of the extraordinary dis

The warrant of arrest was served
