TEST DECISION
Refused Landing Here, to Take
Case to Coast Court; Re-
leased on $1,000 Bond

Five Japanese school teachers who
we're not allowed to land in the terri
tory on the ground they were coming
here as contract laborers." were re-
sased today on bond in the sum OF
$1,000 each, pending the appeal Of their
case to the court Of appeals OF the
ninth circuit, California.
As intimated yesterday by the court,
Federal Judge Horace w. Vaughan
this morning discharged the writs OF
habeas corpus filed by the teachers
through which they sought to secure
their release from the U. S. tmmi'
grafton station, where they we're be-
ing held for deportation. The court
fixed bail in the sum Of $1,000 in each
case and bond was almost immediate
ly given. Notice Of appeal to the
higher court was also given.
In rendering an oral decision in the
case yesterday afternoon, Judge
Vaughan expressed the opinion that
the teachers were contract laborers.
This allegation has been denied by
the petitioners who declare that, while
they came to Hawaii at the invitation
of the Honwanji Mission, nothing was
said regarding the specific salaries
they were to receive for their work
a. the institution.

BRITISH CLUB
Wants BAZAAR
FOR CARNIVAL

Proof that Honolulu has in mind the
welfare Of those less fortunate than
her own citizens, will be forthcoming
IL the plans suggested by the British
club, and presented to the Promotion
Committee for consideration, are fav'
orably passed upon. George Bustard,
vice-president of the club, In letter
to the committee suggests that huge
allied bazaar be conducted during the
carnival week. The proceeds derived
from the bazaar would be turned over
to the Allied Red Cross. The plan has
been submitted to the, carnival com.
mittee for action.
The large cities on the mainland
have been conducting allied bazaars
similar to the one suggested by Mr..
BASTARD, and during the last few
months have cleared over a million
dollars each. The British club be
iieves q bazaar in Honolulu during
carnival time would net the Red Cross
over $4,000. Bustard's plan is for the
bazaar to be held In the national
guard armory, and that the booths,
representing the various allied coun-
tries, be ranged along the walls. The
sountries represented would be the
United States, Great Britain, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,
France, Russia, Belgium. Japan, China.
Portugal. Serbia. Montenegro, Italy
and Rumania. Hawaii would have a
booth Of her own. Citizens Of nearly
all the allied nations could be found
in Honolulu to tend the booths. and In
addition, Mrs. English, who had charge
of the Australian booth at the San
Francisco bazaar, has offered her as
sistance.
Bustard believes that carnival week
is the best time to hold the bazaar
as it would be patronized by thou.
sands of tourists and would remove
criticism against the islands for hold,
ing carnival in oblivion Of the wants
of others"

London will be unveiled. 49,:
Former Governor Walter F. Frear
of Hawaii, president of the Pan.Pacific
Union, will deliver an address at the
banquet in this city, and Governor
Stephens has been requested to press

ering in Honolulu that the ceremonies
have begun. Mrs. London will be

Every country whose shores are

Ocean will be represented at the
banquet in this city. Tables will be
placed for natives of Australia, New

the Philippine Islands, Siberia, Java,

EXEMPTION OF SEAMEN
FROM DRAFT EXPLAINED

There is still much misunderstood.
ing and confusion with reference to
the exemption of seamen from the
army draft, editorially says a recent
number of the Coast Seamen's Jour.
nal.
Andrew Furuseth, in his current
weekly report, summarizes the status
of the seamen under the draft law,
rules and regulations, as follows:
There are two classes of seamen:
First, the citizen by birth or natur-
alization. The citizen is in exactly
the same position as any other citizen.
The president has the power under
the law to exempt mariners actually
employed on q vessel belonging to a
citizen Of the United States" but so
far as l have been able to ascertain,
he has not issued any proclamation
On this subject The rules issued by
the provost marshalgeneral give to
the seaman the same chance and no
more than any other workman. If the
Ell ployer will make affidavit that he
cannot do without this particular man,
then the man may be exempted. If the
that any specific person is a mem
master of any vessel shall testify that
any specific person is a member of
the crew of his vessel, then, that will
mean that the person is actually en-
ployed" and that should exempt him.
Again, let me call attention to the
fact that no one is a seaman within
the meaning Of the law unless he be
employed on a vessel as one Of her
crew. When ashore, idle, he is just
the same as any other man.
The second class Is the alien who
is sailing from ports Of the United
States in vessels of the United States,
This man simply goes to his consul
and there obtains a certificate that
he is subject or citizen, as the case
may be, of the country of his BIRTH
and that certificate will protect him
from being drafted. All he has to dc
is to show that certificate and he will
be dismissed. Understand, it makes
no difference if he has declared his
intention or not. He Is not drafted
It should be distinctly stated in this
connection that American seamen are
not looking for special favors or priv
leges.
If it is the desire of the govern
ment to send the seamen into the
trenches and the soldiers on the yes
sells, we'll and good, so be it.

OFFICERS
TO Be found in
RANKS OF ARMY
Schools to Be Established at
Each of Division Train
" ing Camps

WASHINGTON, d. c., August Is
Enlisted men of the national army, ma
tional guard and regular army Will
be gwen every opportunity to tit
themselves for commissions. it was
learned today. This is IN line with
the policy of the government to take
no more officers from civil life alter
the second series Of officers train
ing camps, now in progress, has been
completed. Thereafter all additional
officers needed will be found 'nNthe
ranks of the various branches OF the
war army.
To carry out this plan 1t has vir-
tually been decided to establish an Of
ficersi school at each of the divisional
training camps. Men from the ranks
who show special qualifications will
be sent to these schools. With staffs
of French and British officers OF ex7
perience on the firing lines on duty at
each camp as advisers, an unusual OPP
portunity for lecture courses VIII be
presented.
The divisional camps will make the
third series of such camps arranged
by the war department to provide
men to command the enormous forces
being raised for the war. No line
commissions will be granted to men
from civil life after they are started,
except that few men who were de-
MED admission to the other camps
through loss of their orders in the
mail, or some other mischance, may
be given an opportunity in the third
series. r.
Secretary Baker pointed out today,
in reply to q question as to whether
the European divisional army organi.
zation adopted for the war would be
continued after the restoration OF
peace, that with the exception of the
officers of the regular army and a
few men Of the old regular enlisted
force whose enlistments may not have
expired at that time. the entire war
army will pass out Of existence. There
is no provision Of law for continuing
II beyond the end Of the war. "
The question of establishing a con-
tinuing military policy of universal
service has been debated to some ex.
tent recently. The impression prevails
among many members Of congress,
however. that 1t would be Lnwise to
take up this question now. II the
war is long, 1t may become necessary
to provide for the registration OF
new classes which reach the military
age of the selective service bill each
year, and possibly also to exempt men
now registered, but who may pass
beyond the maximum age limit before
the war ends.
