MORE INSTRUCTIONS
lNl COME FOR TERRITORY

Mobilization instructions for Ha.
waii s draft quota were received from
Washington yesterday by Capt. H. G.
Field, selective draft officer, giving
full details of the manner in which the
local boards must proceed to call the
registered men to the concentration
camps.
The instructions, following closely on
the receipt of the forms for individual
notification to draftees that they have
been called and the memorandum of
what each registered man called to
camp shall bring with him, including
underwear, rough clothing, etc, cause
Captain Field to be confident that the
draft call for the Islands is not very
far off.
The draft Office is now in receipt of
full instructions as to method of pay
for whatever the bureau may be called
upon to expend in connection with
travel expenses of the drafted men,
subsistence, etc. Captain Field expects
very few additional instructions in ad
vance of the President call for
quota from Hawaii.

Even When Called Unfair In Hotel

Sides
QUIETLY EXPLAIN THE

Controversies Which Are Bri-

WASHINGTON, May 21-
" ASSOCIATED Press)--Labor
delegates from the United States
who are now in Great Britain,
conferring with the labor leaders
of that country, after having Wis
tied Paris, are showing a splen-
did level-headedness and patriot
ism in meeting the situation
which results from the Irish crisis,
precipitated by the discovery of
plotting with the enemy on the
part of Irish extremists. They
are refusing to express their
views on the situation and are
taking no stand even when they
are openly called unfair. This
is shown by the reports which
were received from Dublin last
evening. 1EsE
To enlist the sympathies Of the
American labor leaders who rep
resent the American Federation
fof Labor, a Sim Fein delegate
called upon Them iti tkeir hotel
yesterday, the Dublin Message
said. Not meeting with the re-
ception which he expected and
not receiving the open and clear
ly expressed sympathy which he
evidently expected because Of the
known friendliness of American
labor for ireland and the Irish,
this Sim Feiner loudly shouted,
in the hotel lobby, that the Amer
leans were unfair.
Taking the outbreak coolly the
Americans explained that they
were quite willing to listen to
both sides of the case but they
would not take sides in this or in
any other matter that pettained
purely to British internal affairs.
They were for the winning of the
war and would do nothing which
might tend to jeopardize the
cause which American labor had
made its own.
Indications in official circles
here yesterday were that the Uni
ted States will soon make clear its
position on the Irish situation. r
