Japanese Volunteers

TINE decision of the provost marshall announc-
l. ed at Seattle. that aliens including Japanese,
who have registered without claim to exemption
may now enlist in the National Army will be
gratifying news to the Japanese of Hawaii who
have so we'll demonstrated the truth back of their
repeated declarations OF loyalty To- the Flag that
today shelters them. These Japanese registered
,r not cannot be drafted That goes without say
ing with all those who have read the Seective
Draft Act. But they can serve the Stars and
Stripes as volunteers, which is the best they have
asked to be allowed to do
Hawaii will not share in the makeup Of the
National Army for time. There will be no draft
here until the second draft i, made for the main
land, which will probably come in the FALL in time
to move the second contingent into the COnCentra-
ton camps as the first moves out after six months
Of intensive training, ready for their further train
ing in France. Then will come Hawaii's turn, be-
cause the fiction that have given oyer our quota
already will have been outworn by that time Then
will come also the time for japanese volunteers
in Hawaii to offer themselves, the time to which
many of them have been looking forward .EE}
1t is Just possible that by that time there will
be law under which the local Japanese inay be
GRATED for active service. Congress has now be-
fore it bill providing that all aliens in the coun-
try who have not taken out their first papers must
take them out within three months or face depor-
tation AS originally drawn, this bill makes no
exception, but the case OF the Japanese and Fill
pn0s, as well as the Koreans and Porto Ricans,
will have to be considered before the bill goes
very far. 1t is not permissible Tor these now,
under court decisions to make declaration Of in
tenion to become naturalIcd, and it is manifestly
impossible to conceive OF the United States de-
porting them for not doing " hat they are not per-
mttcd to do 49,.

a Desirable Cleanup

THERE is no ambiguity, however, regarding
4 the tabu placed by the President and the sec
ietary of war upon the business of prostitution.
That must cease within FIVE miles of any place used
by the military forces of the United States and
the full force Of the federal authority is to be used
to that il does 1 The FIVE mile limit in this
instance, covers all of Honolulu except the re-
noter valleys, while the White Slave Act will
cover any attempt to transfer any of the city
brothels into the country. Thus, the question of
suppressing prostitution on this island will pass
from the county police-who admit their inability
to handle ito the federal police officials, who
are not likely to admit anything Of the kind.
In connection with this presidential ruling, a
direct appeal has been made by Secretary Baker to
the Governors of all States and Territories to use
every means within their power in the assistance
of the federal officers. Governor Pnkham may
have his own ideas regarding the question of pros
titution, but he is hardly likely to advance these
in opposition to the ordets Of the Presdent and the
request Of the secretary of war. 1t is probable
therefore, that assisting the federal district at
torney and the federal marshal there will be the
attorney generals department and the high sheriff
Ii all these forces cooperate in earnest there
should be speedy suppression of the bawdy
houses in Honolulu. 1t requires no great detec-
tive ability to locate them.

Some Interesting Points

T7iERE are a goodly few interested just at
4 present in the question Of whether Honolulu
is or is not IAN Incorporated city" in the sense Of
the words used in the Presidents rules and regu-
iations dealing with the sale of booze within five
miles of any military camp, except when such a
radius takes in territory within the limits of an
incorporated city or town, when the restriction
runs only for half mile within such limits. This
is the City and County OF Honolulu and it has
been generally taken for granted that all Oahu
and the adj acent islands" included within the
city limits. If this holds, at no army post will the
Presidents rule extend more than half mile from
the limits OF the reservation.
Another point of interest to be ruled upon, is:
What is camp The rules draw distinction
between camp and post fort or station. Fort
Armstrong and Fort Ruger, for instance, are not
regarded as camps" but when detachment of
the Second Infantry is in camp on a site adjoining
Fort Armstrong, as at present, is their temporary
resting place camp" and il so does this mean
the closing of the saloons within half a mile?
The putting into force OF Che Presidents regu-
lations, which will probably arrive in the official
mail of the district attorney today, is not going to
be without its interesting side. .-,

kAL|H| pump WILL
COST LARGE sum
Bids Submitted Are Far, In Ex-
cess Of the Amount twas Es-
timated Would Be Needed

What is happening in the markets
of the world was well illustrated on
small scale at a meeting last week of
the Oahu Loan Fund Commission.
Bids were opened for steam driven,
centrifugal pump for the Kalihi pump
ing station. The station has no emer.
gency apparatus and when it neces;
sary to overhaul the big plunger pump,
it has to be done at night. If the
pump should break down, the Kalihi
district would be absolutely without
fire protection. Hence the need for a
spare pump. &c.,.
When this condition was first called
to the attention of the commission by
Harry Murray, manager of the city
waterworks, it was estimated that a
pump could be bought for $4,000.
But when the bids were opened yester-
day they stood as follows:
Hawaiian Electric company, $l9,360,
delivery in eleven months; Honolulu
Iron Works, $l4,750, thirteen months
delivery; Cation, Neill & Co., $l2,650,
twelve months.
Because the type of pump on which
Cation, Neill & Co. bid was of lower
efficiency than the specifications called
for, the commission asked the attorney
general for ruling on the firm Is pro
posal and deferred any award.
Later in the day, Arthur @. Smith,
acting attorney general, gave an opin,
on that the Cation, Neill bid should
be rejected and that the commission
might award the contract to the Homo,
lulu Iron Works. The Commission will
meet this morning to make the award.
In the meantime, the board Of su-
pervisors has been asked to. assume
the difference between the amount the
commission assigned for purchase of a
pump, $4,000, and the low bidder s
price $l4,750. The supervisors will
meet tonight, at which time they are
expected to take action on the commits.

While rains are badly needed on
Maui and there has been damage to
the crops on some Of the plantations

of the reports that have been brought

This is the opinion of John L. Elem,

On some Of the plantations ON Maui
there is yellow cane and In spots there
has been considerable damage TO the

advanced to escape damage. What that
damage has been or will be it is diff.
cult to estimate at this time, Mr. Elem
ing says. IL is not too late yet for
rains to prove of considerable benefit
and he is in hopes that the rain that
fell here Saturday night reached Maui
since the wind swung into a souther-
ly direction while il was raining here.
While he was there one good rain fell

Control of Exports

ID ROTESTS appearing against an embargo on
the export of food and other supplies to Hol-
land, Switzerland, Sweden Norway and Denmark
are based on form Of logic that disappears once
the situation is understood says Leslies Weekly.
The differences made are that we are thus warning
upon neutrals and putting the lives of women and
children Of neutrals in peril 1t is also warned that
the adoption OF an embargo will tend to drive the
nettrals into alliance with the Central Powers
in war against this country. Unquestionably, the
exports control section OF the espionage bill gives
TO the President the right to shut down absolutely
on exports to neutral countries should he consider
such action advisable. The war history to date,
however is against the probability OF any unju,ti-
fable use of this right, Not only the United
States while still a neutral but also our present
allies actually at war, sent millions of dollars
worth OF food and other supplies to the starving
Belgans, thus relieving Germany OF the cost Of
their keeping. This matter of free gift and
not one OF trade through which any return benefits
were derived. Now that the United States is in
war, the relief to the Belgian civilians continues
But the relations toward the neutras adjacent to
Germany have vastly altered. There is no ques-
tion that supplies Of food and metals from this
country to their ports have been reshpped to Ger
many in the past. If this is to be allowed to con-
tnue, they will be virtually, even though Indirect
~. at war against the United States. We will be
robbing our people to feed an enemy, as well
giving him other material with which to- destroy
american youths at the battlefront. What the
Government proposes to do>is to see that no sup
plies from the United States to these neutras shall
be transhipped to Germany or replace similar sup
plies produced in the neutral countries and sold
Germany This can be done by the permitted
presence and Investigations of American agents in
