ARMY IS ORDERED
TO CONSERVE FOOD
Prevention Of Waste Urged BY
Secretary Baker; Troops On
Oahu Aiding In Movement

All the United States troops sta.
toned on Oahu are aiding in the food
conservation movement, in line with
the assistance asked of the civilian
population, sBrigadier General Wiser,
commanding the Hawaiian Department,
having issued an order to this effect
on November 10. t,agE.
In the general demand for conserva.
tion of food products throughout the
country, Food Commissioner Hoover and
Secretary of War Newton X. Baker
had a conference on Friday in which
the war secretary announced he would
issue an order directed to all canton,
ment and department commanders, re.
questing them to seek the proven.
ton of waste of food in their com.
mands and to aid the commission par.
tieularly in the saving of wheat flour
by using a substitute. A message Ia
this effect reached Food Commissioner
J. +. Child, local food administrator
on Saturday. ;,'s ..-...
The arrangement between the nation
al food administrator and the war sec,
rotary was to secure the voluntary as
sistance of the soldiers in the canton
ments. .'- . .. T.. sa
Food Commissioner Child took the
matter up with General Wiser, who ex,
pressed his willingness to issue an or
der on this basis to the units of his
command and get behind the conserva,
ton movement in every way possible
Mr.. Child was Informed, however
that the army had already begun such
a campaign, and attention was called
to the order issued here in November
asking all commands to observe the con
seTvation movement. Mr.. Child stated
that the army has already ordered
quantities of corn meal to be used as
substitute for wheat flour. /
The food commissioner said that q
number of people in the Islands haG
asked why they should be required t.
sign food pledge cards while the army
itself was not observing the movement
Mr. Child said these statements were
made in ignorance of the fact THAI thu
army was already doing its part ant
had, in fact, started the movement be
fore being requested to by local fooG
officials.
However, said Mr.. Child, "these
were only isolated cases and / believ,
the people now generally understand
that all departments of the government
are observing the request for conserva
tiOn just as much as the civilian pub
lie. -. IL

Efforts TO secure legislation that will

cular letters have been sent broadcast
through the United States, one of

ed them for their brave and splendid
work in this war,
"At least dozen such medals
awarded by the British government to
officers and seamen of the naval
forces operating under vice admiral
Sims are now being held by the State
Department But the constitution of
the United States forbids their accept
ing any medal or other recognition OF
service from foreign government, ex

courtesy, harmonize with the relation
ship now existing between this govern
men and the Allied governments, to re-
fuse them the right to make appropriate
acknowledgement of American services
in the common cause. = a.-.,..'
1.-THE Navy League believes also that
the government should make known the
names and the deeds of these men fol-
bravery by our Allies. As history il
but the shadow of great men, so toe
patriotism is largely a reflection from
the deeds of brave men. We need the
inspiration of the acts Of these men to

SPECIAL BOARD AT

Results Of Investigation Of Ma

Military Document

Compilation Of the'report ON the Ha-

that we're taken during the recent SEES
sions Of the board appointed by GEN
eral =. /. Johnson, commanding the
guard was one Of the duties Of that
board members yesterday.
The notes taken by a shorthand re-
porter covered, IL Is said, n large mum,
Der of closely typewritten pages, and
from these the report on the whole stu
alton will be formed.
The report will be sent to the Gov
ernor, as eommander-in-chief of the
guard, and will probably be regarded
as confidential military report, not
witbstanding the emphatic statement
made recently by members Of the board
that full report, eoncealing nothing,
would be made to the public. Board
members said they felt that the public,
as those whose money supports the
guard, were entitled to know what they
were getting for their money. Copies
will be sent 60 the commanding officer
Of the Hawaiian Department, and also
20 the officer in charge of militia af-
fairs, representing the regular army,
and presumably will eventually reach
the bureau of militia affairs at Wash
ingtoA. 49,
Most of the report will center upon
the brigade work at Kawailoa Camp,
and also include considerable data con-
corning the personnel Of the guard,
particularly with reference to the Fill.

There were some things that were highly anus
ing in the episode Of the Dutch soldiers rushing
their officers and going for stroll through Homo
lulu, thereby giving to the police busy afternoon
and evening. They broke for the suburbs, the
nearest approach to the tall timber. All of them
returned at bedtime and it is reported that all re-
turned sober, they did not make their break to go
on debauch. Not the least amusing part of the
whole affair, however, was the repeated arrest Of
the non-commissioned officers who were trying TO
hunt down their escaped men. The Honolulu po-
lice could not distinguish between enlisted men
and non-commissioued officers in those uniforms,
