FORT EANEHAMEHA. June 10
This week has been a dull one, soci-
ally, at the post. although excitement
has not been lacking. The news that
as many officers as could be spared
would be sent TO the mainland has
caused a great stir in an otherwise
quiet post. Each day new rumoTs
are at large, and every officer on the
post is wondering whether his name
will be on the list OF fortunate. or
unfortunate ones, according to his
viewpoint There are many who arc
hoping that the order will mean &C
tive service in France, instead OF a
training camp, but the uncertainty
and suspense will soon be over and
all will know their fate in a short
time
II as many officers are taken from
Fort kamehameha as Is rumored, this
post will be lees lively than eNer--in
fact, quite a deserted village The
only officer who has received any
definite order is Lieutenant Charles
M. Steese, who has been transferred
from the Coast Artillery to the Ord
nance Department, and is TO be sta
toned at Washington. D. {.
Lieutenant and Mrs. Steese have
been at Fort Kamehameha less than
a year but have made many friends
who heard of their coming departure
with regret Lieut. and Mrs. Steese
have been favorites with everyone on
the post and they have taken very
active part in all the social doings.
They expect to leave on the next
transport.
Meanwhile the ieutensuts at the
post who recently took their exam
nations for promotion are awaiting
their commissions anxiously.

BISHOP Street
PAVING OPPOSED

Protests against the paving OF
Bishop street have been filed by the
Bishop Trust Company, Theo. H.
Davies & Co. and the First National
Bank of Hawaii.
The reason given for the protests
was that they believed that Bishop
street should be extended TO the water
front first when the. extension is
made" the accompanying letter said,
office and store buildings will be
erected on our property" They also
consider it inadvisable to lay down
permanent improvements before i'm
provements on the adjoining land are
made, or at least until plans for the
buildings have been prepared in order
that the water and sewer connections
can be shown.
