DOUGHBOYS CAN
 KEEP INSTRUMENTS
Y. NJ. C. A. Permits Them to Retain Those Loaned If They Use Them
 on Way Home.

CObienz July, 12 (By Mail )-Ac- cording to the terms of a contract an- nounced by the music department or the Y. M. C. A., musical instrumen furnished entertainment units playing in the Third army area may be taken back to the United States provided they are used for entertainment pur- poses en route. This means that ap- proximately 5000 violins, banjos, cor nets, ukeleles and drums will become the property of the doughboys.
 Music has been furnished in un- limited quantities throughout the area. Charts for mass singing have been provided and a campaign for the encouragement and promotion of singing as 8 pastime has been car ried on.
 "A close alliance has been main- tained with the religious work and educational departments, with the former by arranging and furnishing talent for religious services; with the latter by proposing and equipping with musical instruments the Y. M. C. A. army music school.
 Soldiers now using these instru- ments must agree on returning to do their part toward entertaining the troops in the authorization area, on the boat and at the demo utilization camps. They are forbidden to sell them, and in case they desire to dis pose of them after reaching home, instructions have been given to return them to the local Y. M. c. A. where they are stationed.
 For several months the "Y" took over the total output of two German factories located at Saxony and Mainz. About 15O complete orch estras were equipped and 100 received sup plies. Over 200 soldier shows were given instruments and fully 5000 were distributed among doughboys here

Honolulu Business Man Wants His Native Island Looked After By American Shipping Interests

Washington, July 1s.-Continued suspension for three years of the law barring foreign vessels from coastwise shipping was urged before the house merchant marine committee today by Walter $. Dillingham;, president of the Honolulu chamber of commerce.

So many of the American vessels were taken to the Atlantic for transport service, however, that the ships remaining have been entirely unable to take care of the regular business, let alone the tourist business.
 Several years will lapse before there will be enough American ships to take care of Hawaii and until then the law must be changed to per init foreign ships to help, or Hawaii will be marOOned in the Pacific, cut off from the rest of the world"
