strange order. He replied, even more
emPhatically instructing the board to
send all Glass ! men, irrespective Of
rating.' Then, to make assurance
doubly sure, he followed this up with
verbal orders when he reached Hilo in
person shortly after.
IL was in compliance with this order,
the Hilo draft board members explain,
that the men were sent to Honolulu
who should never have been sent here
and who were later turned loose to
wander penniless about the streets of
ne city, until The Advertiser publish
ed the story of their unfortunate con
dition, which led to action on the part
of private individuals and firms.
Field Is Reticent
Captain Field was asked yesterday II
he would supply for publication copies
of the wireless messages exchanged be-
TWEEN himself and the Hilo board, but
he refused to do so.
Another story in The Advertiser
which Mr. Bridwell thinks Mr.. Field
lays to information supplied by him,
but with which in reality Mr.. Bridwell
had nothing whatever to do, was that
to the effect that Filipino aliens arriv.
ing bspe since. July 81. 1917, had been
tfegistefed contrary to draft regulations.
Without Investigation Field asserted
off hand Tuesday that the story in The
Advertiser was misleading"
In the face Of which statement, Cap
tain Field cabled yesterday to Provost
Marshal CrOwder, asking for an inter
probation and ruling on the subject.
! Within less than twenty four. hours Of
his Characterization of The Advertiser g
story as misleading" he went into
conference with Assistant United States
District Attorney J. j. Banks, who ad-
vised him to apply at headquarters Tor
advice. The result was his cable mes
sage to General Crowder.
Asks Information
His inquiry concerns principally young
men who have attained the age OF TWEEN
ty one years since July 81, 1917, and
who arrived in the Islands since the
same date The draft regulations
specifically eliminate draft age aliens
who arrive subsequent to the date men
toned, hut it was decided by the two
officials that in view of the circum-
stances here, Washington should be
asked for specific Interpretation.
Judge Banks was of the opinion that
the regulation is not clear as to aliens
arriving under draft age between July
80 of last year and July 81 of this year,
although quite clear concerning draft
age aliens.
Although it was generally understood
at the commencing of the filing of
draft quotas by the various local draft
boards that the government would
stand the expense of transportation
back to homes of those rejected, the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association
has paid the transportation of sixty
four men rejected at the mobilization
camp. Two of these were registrants
who should not have been called
One of the reasons why the planters
are paying the return passage is that
the men are needed on their respective
islands, owing to the thousands of mel
who have been drawn from plantations
into the army. Rather than wait and
continue to wait until the draft officials
| decided it was the duty of the Amer
can government to pay the cost of
transportation back, the planters took
matters directly in their own hands.

President Confronted by Duty
of Reorganizing Federal
Financial System.
VACANCIES TO BE FILLED

Reorganization of the Federal Re-
serve Board will be one of they sub
jects requiring the Presidents early
to a pressure of other duties on the
remaining members. the board is
rather "short-handed' at present.
Mr.. Warburg has resigned, Mr.. Delano
is a colonel in France, Adolph C.
Miller is in California. and a new

hold.
Secretary McAdoo has a multitude
of other duties. so has John Shelton
Williams, while Charles S. Hamlin is
busy as chairman of the capital issues
committee. Vice Gov. Harding is
really shouldering great deal of
the boards work.
Views of Senator Weeks.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,
who has returned to Washington,
voiced today the general desire for
early reorganization of the board.
As one who assisted materially in
amending the federal reserve bill to
make it workable, and as one of the
republicans who voted for the bill,
Senator Weeks has continued his in
terest in the operation of the federal
reserve system. Like many others,
which have taken place in the per-
sonnel of the board, and is hopeful
that the high standard set in the
original appointments will not be

said Senator Weeks, discussing this

tenn has proved extremely useful in

drich-Nreeland law and the federal
reserve act later we could not have
weathered our financial storms with
anything like the same facility that
has been our good fortune. 1 did not
assume when the law was passed that
it was perfect. and some of the modi
tications made and others which must
be made demonstrate that l was cor
rect in that conclusion.
Wisdom of Act Shown.
% the whole, however, the wisdom
of the legislation has been demon
strated. l stated on the floor of the
Senate when the federal reserve bill
of the success of the system would
depend on the character and wisdom
of the men who administer the law.

Inal appointees of the board have now
retired. Frederic A. Delano. who had
been an important and successful rail-
road man, is serving his country in
France as a colonel in the Army. Paul
NJ Warburg, formerly of the finn of
Kuhn. Loeb & Co.. has declined re-
appo intment. Both men have been
important factors in the conduct of
the affairs of the Federal Reserve
Board. Mr.. Warburg particularly so
because of his intimate knowledge Of
foreign banking and his lifelong study
OF banking along the broadest lines.
