TWO YOUNG MEN,
NATIVE HAWA|IANS,
NAVY CANDIDATES
Appointed To Naval Academy
And Will Enter Preparatory
School Here
BOTH COUSINS AND
COLLEGE YOUNG MEN
w. H. Beers, Of Hilo, And w. A.
Kanakanui, of Honolulu, Want
To be Midshipmen

Two young men, natives of Hawaii,
will arrive in Annapolis to enter a
local preparatory school. They are
William H. Beers, Jr., of Hilo, and
William Atherton Kanakanui, of Hon
olulu, Hawaiian Islands.
These young men are first cousins
and were selected by the Delegate in
Congress because of the high local
standing of their families in the u.
S. island possession.
Both are graduates of high schools
and both attended college in the
States.
Mr.. Beers is the son of an Ameri-
can father while Mr.. Kanakanui is a
pure Hawaiian. While many pure
Hawaiian youths attend our boarding
schools and colleges, Mr. Kanakanui
so far as is known, is the first one
to receive an appointment to the
Naval Academy.
However. some years ago, the son
of Navy officer and a Hawaiian lady
prepared in Annapolis, entered the
Academy and is now one of the eff
cient officers of the service.
The Hawaiian people are remote
kinsmen of the Japanese although
larger of build and of different facial
lineaments. Intermarriage between
them and Americans is not unusual.
A number of our Army officers have
taken brides from among them and a
Commodore in the Navy, some years
ago, married a Hawaiian lady, at the
home of whose parents many of our
officers had been entertained during
the visit of our ships in Hawaii
1t may be interesting to know that
Mr.. Kanakanui lives next door to
Duke Kahananakan the noted swim
mer, who is now making records in
the States in swimming contests.
Mr.. Kanakanui himself is swimmer
of note, has taken part in exhibitions,
and will be a strong addition to the
Midshipman swimming team in case
he should enter the Naval Academy.

NEW RULING FOR

The Short Line official who was
asked relative to the new ruling this
morning said to a representative of
this paper that the officials of the road

Of these commuters, there are usually
four and often five unused coupon
trips to be pasted in the new book.

Evansville, Ind, whose son was the
first to give his life. upon the bloody
battle field of Flanders Jimmy
Gresham's mother refused to mourn,
as she bent over the washtub by which
she supported herself When other
mothers were face to face with like
tragic loss, Jimmy Gresham's mother
was the comforting angel And
from her humble ministrationa
sprang the War Mothers OF
America Chapters were organized irl
almost every city, county and State in
the West.
In the East, Maryland was the first
State to become affiliated Through
the efforts of the Evening Capital, the
progress of the War Mothers was con-
sistently kept before Annapolis, and
through this paper nearly 300 names
were presented at the Baltimore meet
ings. AT the first rs names were pre-
sented through Mrs. Robert Moss, and
at the last meeting 277 names were
presented by Mrs. Gage of the Caps
tai Staff
Tomorrow's meeting will mean
much for Anne Arundel women who
attend, all of whom are invited.

1t is incumbent on every man with
in the draft ages of from Is to 46
years who has not already registered
to register tomorrow. According to
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
those above 36 years will not be induct-
ed into the service at once, but this
does not mean he won't be called
in the near future. At the same time
those in business who have passed 36
feel very thankful for the respite 1t
gives them an opportunity to so ar
range their affairs in the event they
are accepted that their losses will be
small.
None has ghost of chance to
evade the net set by the military au.
thorities. Would-be slackers may as
well come up to the captains desk at
once. for they will be caught sooner OF
later.
