Captain Hagens Is
Given Aloha By
Hackfeld Employees
In Anticipation Of His Departure
For Service In Army Former
Manager Received Express
sions Of Good will From Old
Associates Loyalty Lauded

Capt. J. F. G. Hagens, Quartermaster
Reserve Corps, who relinquished yes.
terday all positions he formerly held
with H. Hackfeld & Co., was the recf-
pient of an expression of esteem. yes.
terday afternoon from the employees of
Hackfeld & Co., in token of his long
association with the firm and with
those who worked with him. .r
At four o'clock all the officers and
employees. of the company assembled in
the directors room, 30 which Captain
Hagens was conducted by President
George Sherman.
Ambrose Writ, one of the oldest of
the employees in length of service, in
formed Captain Hagens that the en-
ployes wished to express to him their
aloha upon his pending departure for
duty on the mainland, their regret at
his severing his relations with the old
firm, and their congratulations upon
the realization of his ambition to serve
his adopted country in this time of
war.
Mr.. Writ referred to the old Hack
field firm as a ship and Capt in Hagens
as its skipper, and said that 1t was
due to Captain Hagens that the ship
had been so successfully steered from
the shoals, for few ships of commerce
had been so hard driven and so bat
tied with the tempests as has Hackfeld
G. Co. That the ship had been steered
so we'll and brought safely into harboI
was due, in large measure, to Mr.
Hagens.
Mr. Writ summed up Mr.. Hagens
career with the firm by saying that
MI Hagens had, above all things, beer
fair and square with all the employees
and had been adviser to many, but hi
square deal method stood out most con
spicuously. The speaker said that the
! call of Mr.. Hagens by the United
States government as captain in the
| American army indicated him anC
his loyalty to the country of his adOP
i ton. This sentiment was given pro
longed applause.
| Mr.. Writ then handed Captain
Hagens a daintily wrapped box which
he said contained the gift of the EN-
ployes as the tangible token of thei
good will and God speed. The tokel
was beautiful silver cigarette case
| Captain Hagens in responding tool
"loyalty" as the keynote of his brie
expression of thanks He said tina
loyalty, to him, had been the most out
standing feature of his own life, no
only to his firm and family and friends
but to his Countrywide country of hi
adoption. Without loyalty no ma
could be successful.
Three rousing cheers were given b.
officers and employees as CaPtai
Hagens concluded.

Japanese~C Come Back Club"

ELSEWHERE IN ibis issue IS published
IL translation Of an article from the Hawaii
Hochi which advocates an attempt to secure
wartime Suspension Of the terms of the Gentle
mems agreement 10 permit the return to the ISL
ands from Japan of aborers who have previously
lived here The figures Of the Hochi show that
there aret more than eight. thousand such, the
majority of whom would gladly return to Hawaii
IL given the opportunity 49,.
1t is fact, known to every Hawaiian traveller in
Japan, that the greater number Of returned labor
ers have Ahl1ntehse consuming desire to join the
"Come Back Club. When 1t is known in the
cities outside of Toxic and Yokohama that some
resident OF Hawaii is visiting in Japan, that resi-
dent is visited by delegation after delegation of
Japanese formerly Of the Islands who each express
the longing they feel to return to Hawaii.
This fact is an irrefutable answer to the igno-
rantly altered statement that the Japanese of Ha-
wall are not becoming Americanized. The fact is,
and anyone who visits ntelligently in Japan can
easily prove it for himself that the Japanese resi-
dents here of any length Of stay absorb SO much
of American ideas and form Of thought that they
feel as comparative strangers in their own home
lard when they return to it, and if this be true
OF the adult immigrant from Japan, how much
more true must it be Of the children who come as
immigrants and Of the children who are born here
and know nothing but America? Very frequently
the Japanese aborers and others who return to
Japan do not know themselves until they resume
their Japanese residence just how far they have
travelled from their Japanese ideas and mode of
living and thinking. A few months in Japan usual
~ convinces these that they prefer America as
they know it in Hawaii, to Japan.
Whether there is anything practicable or not in
the Hochis suggestion Of war time suspension
of a part OF the Gentlemer's Agreement remains to
be seen. Certainly there is not the rabid anti
Japanese sentiment on the mainland today there
was few years ago, but that the politicians at
Washington would dare take up and advance a
plan to permit a return to Hawaii of those Japa-
nese who were formerly here is doubtful. There
is nothing so conservative on earth as congress
man asked to consider the question of Oriental
labor
At the present time there is strong movement
under way for the introduction of wartime Chi
nese labot and that Is having hard Shedding. O9s
of the main arguments advanced against the entry
of Chinese is that such would be regarded as ar
afront by the Japanese so long as they themselves
are debarred.t Now comes the suggestion of
way whereby limited number of Japanese would
be permitted to return. 1t may be that the latte'
suggestion will help the Chinese side of it; the
other hand il may help kill it completely.

PRISON LABOR TO Be. ..
USED ON HAMA WHARF

Prison labor is to be used In the
construction of the new wharf at
Hama, Maui, according to a decision
reached by the board of harbOr com
missioners yesterday.
The board authorized chairman Bige-
low to employ prison labor IN the
work, and to make such expenditures
as may be necessary to provide quar-
tiers for the prisoners, who are to be
borrowed, from High Sheriff Jarrett
passenger. Their names win be listed
and classified and arranged so that the
clerical force will be able to check
back on each person no matter how
many times he may trayel from island
to island
The permit division Of the draft head
quarters has had charge of permits
for all outgoing male passengers leaV'
ing Honolulu for the Pacific Coast the
South Seas and the Orient. In fact,
any male passenger intending to 60 to
any part 70 the world is required first
to obtain permit before, the steamship
company win sell him a ticket.
In the case of male deck passengers on
inter-isiand steamers each intending
passenger must appear before the per
nit bureau, state when and where he
intends to go; and on what steamer. A
blank will be flled out giving brief
summary of the man 8 history, his Oc'
cupation, where he last worked and
what he expects to do on arrival at an
other port. ''''
If the bureau is satisfied that he is
above suspicion as far as being a desert
er from military service is copcerned,
or is not subject to any orders of local
boards, the permit will be issued. Only
with this permit in his possession can
he obtain a ticket.
1t is likely that with the heavy
amount of work now conducted at draft
headquarters, the force may be enlarg-
ed. In order to be able to identify
possible deserters the headquarters
may have ON hand officers of the law
who are more or less familiar with the
apprehension Of army deserterS.

Redpportionn1ent

IF tbeDemucrats include an honest plank in their
i territorial platform pedging theft legislative
candidates to a fair reapportionment law, that
party will deserve the applause of all fair-ninded
men in the Islands. The record of the Republican
party, which has had the legislative majority
through successive terms is badly marred by the
cowardice that majority has shdihhdutihg thefp 5st
three sessions whenever the matter OF reapportion
ment was preached. d..
The Organic Act, from which the legislature
derives its powers, specifically states that there
shall be proper reapportionnient in the matter
of the legislative quota from each island at the
first session after each decennial census. Because
such reapportionment would add to the number
of senator's and representatives from Oahu and
decrease the number from the other islands pro-
portionately, the representatives of HAWAII, Maui
and Kauai have made it known that they might
combine to defeat leading Oahu measures if the
Oahu delegation pressed for carrying out of the
terms of the Organic Act, and the few Oahu men
willing to accept the challenge have never yet
ceved the backing of all their colleagues. ..
There has always been majority ready to trade
Oahu's rights away for support for some individ-
ual bill These men have lacked the moral cour-
age to support what is right and legal because it
in the majority, the chief blame rests necessarily
on that party.
Responsibility dodgers have talked Of asking
congress to put through reapportionment as an
amendment to the Organic Act and it has always
teen amusing to note that these dodgers have
otherwise been in the forefront of the shouters for
home rule"
1t may be that the Democrats mean by their
proposed cryptic plank to refer the matter to
Washington in which case they will deserve little
credit. Surely elect legislature with men
from the other islands broad enough to carry out
the law, even if the task be disagreeabe, and from
! Oahu brave enough to press for what is right
regardless of threats OF. retaliation.

When Arce Gets l..

Young HonoIulan Thinks Hen Be
Back Home In a Year, With
the War All Finished and VII
liam the Hun Out of a Job

William B. Aree, a young Hawaiian
who trained for war at Camp Lewis,
believes the end Of the war will come
as soon as his buncn gets "over there"
and that when ne is ready to return to
Honolulu "there win be no more kai-
ser, either" In letter written to his
father, J. B. Arce, of the Union Feed
company stables, Private Arce says
very confidently that he will be home
in a year, and necessarily, the war will
be all over then.
"Wen, I am anxious to get going
across the sea, - he wrote on June 70
at Camp MERIT, New Jersey, just prior
to the time he expected to sail. ~
am anxious to get going, after that dir
ty Hun. Believe me, papa, we re go
ing to give them all the fight Of their
lives. The Huns won't last much long
err after this bunch get over. never
thought ia ever get the big oppor-
tunity to be- in this war. I'm surely
glad I have, and believe me, dad, this
son of yours is surely going to do his
share for our good old Uncle Sam. And
you can bet your last nickel that III
be back to you and my dear loving
mother within a year; and there II be
no more kaiser, either. The first thing
I'm going to do right after 1 m dis.
charged is to come right back home. u
Young Arce, who Is member Of
Company c, 361st Infantry, has the
highest praise for the Red Cross. When
his regiment went across the continent
the boys were met everywhere by Red
Cross people. "
"My goodness, dad, the Red Cross
ladies certainly did treat US swell al
every little town Of city we stopped
at" he said. "They met us at the
depot and distributed tobacco and candy
and ice cream cones to all of u.s. Al
some places they even gave US posta
1 cards and wouldn't let us stamp them
We would write on the cards and they
furnished the stamps. Now, don't yol
think that was nice Of them. You bet
they certainly have shown us that they
are right in back of us. u"
