Forty eight Hawaiian National
Guardsmen were selected yesterday
for assignment to the Reserve Officers
Training Camp at sehoaeld Barracks,
aud win report for duty there on Sat
l'urday morning, January 5, 1918, A
ma iority of the young men are officers
and non.commissioned officers of the
First and Second Regiments, hailing
from Oahu, Hawaii, Maui and Kauai,
although quite number Of privates
won the coveted chance to become Of
| hcers of Uncle Sam 3 national army.
Those who graduate next March will
be commissioned as second lieutenants
as vacancies occur.
But, there is a fly in the ointment.
They may get 800 month as pay,
Just the same as the members of the
first reserve officers training camp
which closed on November &c, and
again they may receive only the pay
of privates of the regular army, or
$50 a month.
Much depends, in the cases Of many
Of the prospective students, on whether
the pay is $50 or 800. They have all
the patriotism that Uncle Sam wants,
| but as civilians, $50 month would be
80 extremely small that unless they
have a bank balance, IL will be
weighty question as to whether they
can serve Uncle Sam in this way, af-
ter all
However, cable messages have been
forwarded to Washington asking for
o. ruling on the question of pay and
asking for early consideration and
reply.
ohicers Must Resign d.. u. .,
There are few captains and first
and second lieutenants of the guard
who have won the chance to enter the
training camp, who win now have to
resign their guard commissions. They
then enter the training camp as privates
and receive the pay as such. g.,
The camp was originally authorized
for northumberland officers only of
the regular army, and also for national
guardsmen of various ranks, but prac-
tieally all guardsmen, no matter wheth-
err commissioned or noncommissioned,
must resign what rank they, possess in
order TO become students of the camp,
giving them all lower rank than the
regular army men. 20. E'N =
gHI had hoped we would be given the
same status as the members of the first
camp, with the 800 a month feature"

a month makes big sacrifice in my
case, - ,.....
Between Two Fires
This one receives S175 month in the
business position he now holds, and he
has a wife. He is between two fires,
his desire to serve Uncle Sam in active
service and the necessity for making
both ends meet until he becomes an
! officer. ..,
Az the conclusion of the camp, the
successful ones will be given commits
sions, dependent, however, upon the
| question Of whether or not there are
vacancies. AS vacancies occur they
will be called to active service. Those
who arc not Immediately called will
| find it incumbent upon them TO hustle
positions in the interim.
