THINK JAPANESE
WILL Be TAKEN
IN LOCAL GUARD
Gen. Johnson Believes This viii
Follow Acceptance of Those
Not Claiming Exemption

Belief that the acceptance OF Jap
anese and other aliens that have
been drafted for Uncle Sans big
army and that do not claim exemp-
ton means the taking OF Japanese
enistments in the National Guard,
is held by Brighten Samuel John
son. adjutsnt general OF the terri
tory.
i do not see how II can mean
anything else" said Gen Johnson to-
day IN discussing overnight despatch.
rs which state that the representa-.
tive OF the registration marshal in
Seattle has been instructed TO &C
Cept foreigners, including Japanese,

draft.
What such action here would mean
for the Guard is evident TO all con.
ueCted with Guard work II net
more than two companies should be
/ enrolled here, for instance, 1t would
mean building up the local regiment
at once to standard strength This
is taking into consideration, Of
course, the formation Of companies
now at outside points on the island
! These two companies could be
made strictly Japanese. while men
from the other companies could be
consolidated
Il am heartily glad to see the
japanese embassy coming at just
this period" said Chairman F. J.
Green OF the central registration
board today. Because it means they
will be able to see for themselves
the heart-whole assistance which has
been given by the JRpanese-Ameri
cans in this territory in the matter
of registration.
The Japanese associations through
out the islands have voluntarily come
forward without the slightest thought
of recompense and have given their
undivided attention in the way Of
guiding their fellow countrymen
/ through the intricacies Of registra-
tion. In every way they have proved
! themselves worthy fellow workers in
the cause"
The Associated Press despatch
says:
Foreigners who do not claim ex-
emptIon from the selective draft law
will be permitted to enlist in the
United States Army If they so de-
sire, irrespective of race or color.
This ruling was made yesterday by
! the representative here tSeattle) Of
the provost, marshal general and is
far-reaching in Importance.
japanese are eligible for service
in the National Army If they so de-
sire under the ruling of yesterday.
and this is explicitly stated. In this
city it is said there were many Jap
anese who registered and who were
asked if they did not desire exemp-
tion on ground of their nationality. It
was common occurrence for them to
disclaim exemption and to declare
that they were ready to serve H.

Preparing the linen wing surfaces

light work, requiring deft fingers and

women. Before undertaking the manu-

such as the government demands, we
thoroughly investigated the question
of labor We found that women werc
extensively used in England and 10
France in making wings, and that they
had proved to be better at this work
than men. We soon satisfied our,

FARMERS ARE NEEDING

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, May g.
Banking institutions tTuout the
country as a patriotic duty should

banks are making every effort to get
into position to lend money. SO
much detail Is necessary in organiz-
ing the banks along permanent lines

service to agriculturists for this spring
season. In the meantime, thousands
of farmers are in need of funds to
carry on the increased farming oper-
atoms demanded by the national stu
alton. In different sections of tho
country, particularly the east, busi-
ness men are underwriting emer-
gency leans to farmers and while he
considers 1t splendid patriotic serv-
ice, Mr.. Robinson believes IL is en-
tirely Inadequate.
Eanking institutions, like all other
business" said Mr.. Robinson, must
IN the last analysis depend for their
prosperity on the prosperity of the
farming communities which they
serve"
Mr.. Robinson would have the local
banks come to the front and bear the
full burden, take short term notes
from the farmers in their respective
Nicinitfes the notes to be paid as soon
as the federal banks can lend money
on long time first mortgages at tho
established rate OF per cent.
The First District bank, of which
Mr.. Robinson is the head, serves New
England, New York and New Jersey,
and the same general conditions to be
found in this territory prevail thru
out the nation. The banks of the
country never had more money at
their disposal than at the present
time" says Mr. Robinson, "and this
capital should be Immediately avail

WHEN THE CHORUS STRUCK

PETRCGRAD. May 5.-One Of the
numerous petty strikes which pre-
ceded the revolution was n strike of
the chorus singers of the Petrograd
opera, who, like the chorus of the
opera in Paris and Vienna and most
other European capitals, are en-
ployees of the state. They struck for
more pay. Some of them were receiv-
ing only about $3.50 a year, which
they insisted was less than half of a
living wage under present circum-
stances. Promises Of an increase in
salaries had been repeatedly made
and not kept, and the chorus decided
on drastic measures.
The opera house was full, and the
curtain rose on native opera which
begins with a stirring chorus. The
chorus was or the stage, but not a
single note did a single member of il
sing. So II went thruout the evening,
except for an occasional diversion
when the chorus suddenly took il into
their heads to sing pianissimo, part
which ought to have been sung forte,
or vice versa. The ending was happy
