BY GEORGE WILLIAMSON.

Dizziness was perhaps he most nota-
Bile feature Of the cotton market during
the past week. for almost a state of
stalemate prevails. The continuance Of
restrictions on speculative trading, by
which selling was confined to liquida-
ton of long accounts or selling Of hedges
against holdings of raw or finished ma
terial, made the affair so narrow that
efini expression Of sentiment as to
ruling values vas impossible. Bears
found encouragement in the fact that
with this prescription of short selling
there was little sign of bullish feeling
and that's quotations declined without
meeting much resistance. On the other
hand, those who still believe that prices
are not high and viii work higher be-
fore another crop a be pitched COM
forted themselves with the contention
. that the mar who is in possession of the
unsold supply, largely the producer, dis
played no signs Of distress and seemed
as independent al ever.
The period was one Of little impor-
tant news development, with attention
directed at efforts to adjust conditions
as rapidly as possible. The trend of
prices was generally downward, only
temporary periods of support being
Witnessed, and they were Indicative Of
only moderate disposition on the part
of trade interests to provide for some
of their requirements. The highest quo
tatiOns of the week were made Monday
n the lowest on Friday, the range
approximating $40 a bale. Distant
options were weaker han the near,
rejecting spots less than did the near

Draft La,U Workings

HAW All has had chance to see the draft law
i i and it, working. The machinery has work
d smoothly here As elsewhere While past draft
laws were condemned the present law is generally
commended and ON this subject the opinion of the
New York " Grid is timely when it said:
Secretary Daniels in his Carnegie Hall address
referred to the ScIccive Draft Law having been
administered with wisdom beyond the cOncep-
ton Of those who drafted it and advocated it
This is not excessive praise, OF all the war
activities OF the United States, nothing has been
more extraordinary than the working OF this law.
TO realize it. it is necessary only to remember
the kind OF Draft Vet adopted by the Government
during the Civil War and how it operated.
The present law is UNNECESSARILY superior in
every respect to the Civil War act, with it's rank
injustces and its open invitation to gross abuses
hut nevertheless it would not have received such
overwhelming public approval during more than
a year of operation if it had not been carried out
with much tact and sincerity and intelligence.
None of the oppression that its opponents IRE
dcted has developed, and nowhere is the law more
popular than among the soldiers who have come
into the army under its provisions.
There is no more illuminating instance of the
priceless value of exact justice and sound common
sense in carrying out great military policy than
that furnished by the administration Of the SeeC-
tive Draft Law

HaWaiians Pine For

From Volunteer Engineers

There are two things a real Hawai-
ian can not get along well without
poi and ukuleles. But if he has the
one he can manage to exist without
the other. The fix of the Hawaiian
boys who enlisted in the engineers, who
were given Honolulu s aloha Par,

are now in Camp Humphrey, Virginia,
is that they have neither
loud wall has come all the way
f"'m the camp to Honolulu asking for
ukuleIes and guitars.
1t is real appeal from Hawaiian
boys. They are a happy lot even so
far away from home, and for the first
time in their lives, too, but the Hawai-,
ian boy is happiest when he has his
little, inconspicuous, but exceedingly
melodious ukulele handy.
Furthermore. the Hawaiian boys are
always expected to play the ukulelC
wherever they go. The men in the
army camps believe thht a Hawaiian
boy is not a real Hawaiian unless he
plays the ukulele and dances the hula
The island boys at Camp Humphrey
want to keep up to the reputation.
They will get along without poi, if
only some of our philanthropie Homo
lulans will. send them the "musics. 1"
Private John b. Kaahunalii, Com

CONGRESSMAN-A|RMAN
WANTS YOUNG AWATORS

ROME, July 1l-Congressman La
Guardia, Of New York. commanding
the American aviation unit in Italy,
while leaving Rome for the Italian
front, was shown telegram annOunc
ing the death of John Purroy Mitchell.
La Guardia grew pale, apparently grief
stricken, and said:
This is indeed too bad. 1t is a
great loss to the service for we need
men in the air service who had such
vast experience and great executive
ability as Major Mitchell.
- sent word to my friends months
ago that Mitchell had no business fy-
ing No men over twenty seven should
attempt to learn to fly at this time.
1t is young man = game. ! speak from
personal experience. At my school |
had my doctor take a man off my
flying list because he was thirty four.
No waivers should be granted to any
person who has reached the age limit
when fixed by air service.
"What happened to Major Mitchell is
IA lesson, but indeed a very expensive
one. Mitchell could have been a great
help to US with his splendid ability
and experience can not tell you
how badly feel. -
When La Guardia was reminded of
his own age he walked away impa
tiently and did not reply. Mr.. La
Guardia is in his thirty sixth year.

it is felt that the presence of American

the too prevalent impressions that this
is an English war in which Ireland has
no interest.

HONOLULANP'A PAYS
HEAD TAX ON COAST
San Francisco immigration Au-
thorlties Think Hawaii Foreign
Country, Says Henry Walker

Henry 4. Walker, proprietor of the
Walker Rice MIL, who has lived in
Hawaii for more than thirty years aud
has always considered these islands his
home, is of the belief that the immi
grafton authorities in San Francisco
look on the Territory ms forei IN
country.
Mr.'Walker made a trip to San Fran
cisco recently and when answering the
questions generally put to incoming
passengers by the immigration author
tiles upon the arrival of steamer at
San Francisco, he stated that he was
British born but had made his home
in Hawaii for the past three decades.
Despite the fact that he showed posi-
tive documentary proof to this effect,
Mr.. Walker said that he was obliged
to deposit an immigration head tax
in just the same manner as other in
coming passengers who were arriving
on the steamer from Yokohama and
other foreign Oriental ports.
81 told the officer said Mr.. Walker,
THAT Hawaii was a territory of the
United States and ! was of the be,
lief that one could travel between Ho.
nOlulu and the mainland the same as
you could between New York and San
Francisco, but my argument had no
effect. I was told that the law was
the law and that if l wanted to land
in San Francisco / would have to de
posit a head tax or remain on the
boat.
q. Forthwith | paid over the required
eight dollars, which was refunded to
me later on my leaving the country
for Honolulu. | believe that the law
stipulates, that if an alien leaves Amer
lea within six months of his arrival,
the head tax is refunded When I had
completed my arrangements, with the
Immigration officials / asked them If It
would be necessary for me to pay an.
other head tax to 90 from San Fran
cisco to New York, but received no
reply to my query.
