President Carranza, Of Mexico. yes

representatives here, that Mexico is
starving.
Mexican Ambassador Bonillas said
that short rainfall in the Central
Plateau region caused a corn short

Married Men To Be

Order From Washington May Cause
General Reorganization Of Local
Militia Officers Not Included In

Married men or those having rela-
tives depending upon them will not
be enlisted in Uncle Sans army for
the present. Moreover all such al
ready enlisted in the national guard
Will have to accept their discharge un-
less they can show that they have in

This news came to Maui on Wednes-
day in the form of 30O-word cable
order to Col. Frank Baldwin direct
from Washington, and also through an
order from Acknowledgement Johnson.
in Honolulu. 1t goes into effect at
once. Col. Baldwin states that a list
of all men in the Third regiment af-
tected VIII be sent to national guard
headquarter in Honolulu tomorrow
night from which the individual dis
charge orders will be issued.
Reorganization Possible
Coming close on the heels of the
order calling for the recruiting up of
all companies to war strength of $50
men each, or more than twice the
average present strength, the new or
ders were distinct surprise. How
it will effect the organization is not
at present clearly known, though it
seems quite possible that a general re-
organization of the whole Hawaii Nat
ional Guard may be in order.
Just how many men will be dropped
will not be known definitely until the
company lists are collated this even
ing. 1t Is known, however, that some
of the companies will be much reduc-
ed in strength, striking instance >be-
ing the recently organized machine.
gun company which was mostly made
up of married men. On the other
hand some of the companies are COM
posed of Filipinos who are not marri-
ed, and these will consequently be lit
tie effected.
Officers Not Included
The order does not included officers
for the reason that their pay is pre-
sumed to be sufficient to maintain an
ordinary family.
There is also the question to be set
tied as to whether or not the men in
the employ of the territory or counties
who may have their salaries guaran-
teed by law or otherwise will be dis
charged. The county of Hawaii has
adopted resolution making such pro-
vision, while a similar resolution is
now pending in the legislature as to
territorial employees.

Thousand Children's What County Fair
Gardens Is Big Plan Got From Race Assn.
Technical Joke On Somebody Due To
Fact That Lease On Race Track
Has Long Since Expired-Will
Have No Real Effect

The interesting fact developed yes
terday that for over two years the old
Maui Racing Association has been
without title to the race track
grounds and building at Kahului. By
the same token the directors of the
new Maui County Fair e Racing AS
sociation have also discovered that
legally they bought from the racing
association only some s1700 worth of
liabilities in form of notes in bank
and some current accounts.
The discovery came about when the
lease of the property from the Haw-
allan Commercial e. Sugar Company
was hunted up for the purpose of max
ing the necessary formal transfer.
Then it was found that the document,
instead of being for 80 years, as many
had believed, was really for but ten
years, and that time had elapsed in
March, 1915. The lease not only in
cluded the ground but also all build
ings upon it. The annual rental was
81.
OF course the discovery" is more
interesting than serious, in that the
new association will simply secure a
new lease on the same terms as the
old one from the Hawaiian CONNER
cial & Sugar Company, instead of
continuing under the lease of the old
association as had been intended. The
real situation is not changed in the
least. There is no question whatever
as to the securing of this new lease,
If the association wants it, there being
little use for the land except for the
race track and besides President
Frank Baldwin, of the Maui County
Fair and Racing Association is on
particularly good terms with President
F. F. Baldwin, of the Hawaiian Com
mercial & Sugar Company.
