found that three saloons were selling

Many telephone calls have come
into the marshaIs office from persons
seeking information as to the pro-
visions of the new law. One wanted
to know If the law applied on GER

that II affects all islands Of the group.
u. 8. Attorney s. c. Huber now
holds that a sale OF liquor to a mem
Der of the National Guard in uniform
is q violation Of the law. He has
been informed by the Hawaiian De-
partment, U. s. A., that the guards.
men are now under federal pay, which
brings the guarGsmen within the pro-
visions Of the law.
But the law applies only to guards.

torney.
As to the possibility of an executive
order by the president setting aside
Honolulu as a strictly dry area for
the period of the war, or for any spe-
cific period during the war, Attorney
Huber says:
IF 1t is a part of the war program
to do that in other places, it undoubt-
edIy will be done in Hawaii. But un.
less for special reasons, do not be,
lieve the President would single out
Hawaii.
Il can see no great necessity at
present for making Hawaii totally
dry. But there is no doubt that if
the present law does not reach the
object aimed at, which is to keep
liquor away from members of the
military forces, it will be necessary to
make such an order"
In Attorney Huber's opinion the en-.
forcement Of the new law will not
necessarily mean an increase in
blind pigs" Blind piggers are liable
to arrest by the city and county au-
thorities. and they will find them.

A Letter From the President

In order that the relief work which is undoubtedly ahead of us should be made thoroughly efficient, it is ordinated and concentrated under one organization.
 Recognizing this fact, Congress in corporated the American Red Cross "to furnish volunteer aid to the sick land wounded of armies in time of war and for said purposes to perform all
 the duties devolved upon national society by each nation which has ac- cepted the Treaty of Geneva, :.
 to act in matters of voluntary relief and in accord with the military and
 naval authorities as medium of communication between the people of the United States of America and their Army and Navy"
 Having thus been made the Offic- ial volunteer aid organization of the United States, the American Red Cross comes under the Treaty of
 Geneva and has received the recog-
 milton from all foreign governments.
 It's status both at home and abroad, is thus definitely determined and as sured
 The Surgeons General of the War
 and Navy Departments are members
 of the Executive Committee of the American Red Cross. By Act of Con- gross medical officers of both bran
 ches of the service are detailed for
 service with it in order that it's milf- tary relief may be so organized as best to supplement the medical ser
 vices of our fighting forces.
 The Civilian Relief is under q
 especially fitted to care for soldiers
 families and other non-combatants.
 The accounts of the Association are audited by the War Department in order thoroughly to safeguard the funds contributed by the public. Recent experience has made it more clear than ever that a multi plicity of relief agents tends to bring
 about confusion, duplication, delay, and waste Moreover, it affords temptations to dishonest persons to
 take advantage of the general will ingness of the public to subscribe to such agencies to defraud subscrib- CTS and rob the soldier of the assis- tance he so much needs. Wherever. in the present war, suf- ficient volunteer aid has been rem dered, either to soldiers or to non
