GUARD NOT TO
BE- Modified
SOON, BELIEF
Army Authorities Have Re-
CeiVed No Intimation Call
for Service is impending

Persons closely in touch with guard
affairs are OF the opinion that the
two weeks intensive training approved
by the war department on Saturday
does not kresage any general mobili-
zati0n for the period OF the war.
Those who hint at the possibility
Of such a thing are doing SO without
any basis for their argument, it Is
said and III view of the announced
intention of the Swar department not
to put the guard into active service
Unless emergencies Warrant it, So far
as army authorities are concerned they
have received no message to convince
them that the department has changed
its mind on the question.
BY the national defense act the ma
tiOnal suard must have l. days OF felo
work each year in order to qualify
this year therefore is not necessarily
in any different class than was that
of last year. save for the fact that
the country is at war and that a num-
Der Of people want to see the gtarc
modified.
One question that is being asked
considerably at the present time is
what will be done with the draft army
which is due to be organized here
soon after the drawing has been made
The possibility is much nearer, II
is argued, that the. draft army will
DC put into active service aS Hawaii's
rart, in the big war. Whether the
draft army is TO be called overseas or
rot is, of course, indefinite '>Sucli
action seems not too remote in view
of the fact that all other portions of
the national army are being welded
into shape for that as rapidly as pos.
sible and that Hawaii has no other
official representa- in the war.

filed in circuit court suit against
the Territorial Hotel Co. in which she
seeks to recover alleged damages in
the sum OF $4,000.
There were four persons in Mrs.
Campers party on the night of the
occurrence OIL the roof garden: Mrs.
Camper. her husband, Otto Fisher and
Miss Eva Martin. Fisher is also in
the navy and was in uniform that
night. According to the law firm of

graph 8, which asserts that "tfe only
reason given by the said agents OF

The report of the discovery OF ship
vreckase near tanning IS given in a
recent issue of the Lumberman, which
states:
Mysterious Wreck
A mysterious wreck, supposed to
be that of a Pacific coast lumber yes
sci. on Jarvis island, lying south OF
Tanning island in the POlynesian
group, is reported. The report states
that the wreck Of a sailing Ves5e!
vas observed on the eastern shore
Of the island 1t appears to have been
a recent wreck, parts of the vessels
gear being strewn along the beach.
No sign OF life mas been observed.
i will probably prove to be a tim
Der vessel.
At the present time grave fears
are, eptertaIncd for the safety OF
TIMBER Vessel now over 100 days cut
from Eureka to Sydney. The passage
from Eureka to Sydney is generally
accomplished in 60 days. s..
Jarvis island, the scene of the
wreck, is a small coral patch, triangu-
lar in shape, one and three-quarters
miles east and west and miles north
and south, 10 to II feet above the
sea, without tree o. shrub, and
very dangerous to navigation. The is
land is situated in latitude 0.22 south,
longitude 1854 west. 1t has been
occupied by the Phoenix Guano Co,
who placed men on it for the purpose
of working the guano deposits.
The navy department, Melbourne,
has been advised that on July IA a
burnt derelict. a wooden four masted
schooner, tinber-laden, was sighted
between Norfolk island and Fiji. On
June 19 another dereiict, a three-mas
ted schooner, was sighted northeast
OF Samoa. There was no sign of life
Or identification marks visible on
either vessel"
Norfolk island is to the southwest
Of Tanning and not over 700 OR 500
miles from Sydney. Its distance from
Tanning is farther than from Suva
70 Honolulu, Or more than 1880 miles.
The time and difficulty which raiders
would have had to destroy these YES
sells if operating with only a sailing
vessel is apparent.
Further proof Of the wide sailing
radius Of German raiders in the Pa.
cific is the fact that the course of
the Manila to Honolulu should have
been several hundred miles to the
west of that taken by the r. c. Slade

INVESTIGATION NEEDED.

Charges Of brutality against two members of the
Honolulu police force, Henry Daniels and Ed Ross
are made by army authorities with such circum
stantial force that nothing but the most thorough
investigation is allowable.
The charges have been sifted by the regimental
commander of the two soldiers said to have been
terribly beaten by the police; sifted by the post
commander at SchOfied, and referred to the civil
service commission by Commanding General Strong
Of the Hawaiian Department. whose statement
shows that the charges are not mere drunken accu
sati0ns. 1.sS

WAR AND U. S. FINANCE.

Five billion dollars for the first Years war ex.
penses seems huge sum, and some tiinid fnancers
may complain that the United States cannot possi-
bly, raise it, but If the banking experience Of the
European war has shown anything. it is that bel
lgerent nation can raise any sum it needs to raise.
Will Payne. one of the bestknoyn of American
financial writer's, estimates that Uncle Sam could
quite readily raise ten billion dollars yearly during
three years at about four per cent.
Even at the end of thee years, the United States
would be in a more favorable monetary position
than any Of the large European nations are today,
We are the richest people in the world and if put TO
it could produce flow not only Of credit but Of gold
which would amply suffice for any conceivable war
expenditures.
England has foated three huge loans the first at
three and onehalf per cent the second at four and
onehalf per cent and the third at five per cent all
sold at a discount. Germany has foated five loans,
all at FIVE per cent and raising total of about
twelve billion dollars Mr. Payne favors the plan
Of fixing nm interest rate for one loan Mt a good
figure and sticking to it, as Germany did, rather
than Englands plan. For Engand's plan necessi-
tated allawong those who had bought bonds at a
low interest rate to convert them into the higher
rate bonds when the latter were issued, otherwise
the first buyers would have been the victims of gov
ernmental discrimination.
American natiohaA banks, is reported last Noyem-
Der by the comptroller Of The currency, had re-
sources materially greater than the central banks Of
all the beligerent countries Including Japan, and
our state banks had resources almost as large as
