GERMANS AND GERMANY.

Washington draws a distinction

the German government The for

though the government was Great

way to the Teutons. -Americus

The government distinction is
the opinion held by large num-

German people themselves that are

the Germn form Of militaristic,
semi-autOcratic government that is
the cause of trouble between the
two peoples. The German people
have done more than their share

Effective Immediately base freight

the shipping board. Bananas will 40

rates on sugar were sfxeH and an.

The announcement of the amount of
increase of base rate is about what was
expected following the announcement
of the increase in sugar rates. II is,
however, of much interest to local mer-
chants and businessmen. Naturally it
affects more vitality the heavier goods
than the lighter as, for instance, ce.
ment, building materials and mRchin,

crease is two.tenths of one cent pound
on what Hawaii imports so IL is seen
that there is no occasion for n raising
of prices on lighter weight goods.

GUARDSMENI TO GET

Technical Military Work

Intense training for both officers and
men Of the national guard will b in.
augurated on and after January J.

tional guard camp have been. finished

is understood that the reports dealt,
in part, with the necessity for more in.
tensive instruction for both commits.
stoned and enlisted personnel of the
guard and the order for the new sys.
TEN will be issued at once. = .
Oyer forty percent of the officers
are comparatively new men to their
positions, and the same fact applies 60
the enlisted men. Since July 1, this
year. more than 300 men have been EN-.
listed in the First Regiment alone
The large number Of recruits il nc.
counted for by the fact that early last
summer large majority of the mar
ried men in the guard were dropped
as a war measure, and their places
were taken by unmarried ones. "
From the time Of their enlistment to
the opening Of the guard camp at
Kawailoa last month, most of them
had had but twenty four hours actual
drill, counting all Of the nights they
put in at the armory drilling with
their companies. All the time spent in
drilling at nights, added together,
makes up a total of only twenty four
hours. Owing to the large number of
companies in the guard, and the size of
the armory II is not possible to carry
on intensive drill work for each com
pany more than once a week. a'H.
EEA school for officers is to be opened
and various schools for soldiers will
be opened, so that every method Of in.
struction necessary to train the guards.

said be had oil members, or thought he
had, notified by telephone and had also

consumed in talking about the legality
of the session and other aspects, Pres

building aud returned in triumph with
copy which bore on its first page the
statement that the bar association
would meet yesterday at four O'Clock
TO consider recommendations for ap.
pointment TO the vacant chief Justice
ship. Judge Clemens went to the pres.
ident Is desk, and glanced over the mo-
tice, but even then held TO his ground
that Che notice had not been properly
given. The chair ruled against the pro
testant. whereupon he appealed from
the ruling Of the chair, but the thirty
OF more lawyers present sustained the
chair, and IL was finally decided the
untapglers of legal tangles were sitting
quite, legally. a n. aerttt
W. O, Smith then presented motion
for the appointment Of committee of
three to bring in recommendation to
