The Federal Government asks that all retail merchants put their
Business upon a war time basis.
The Commercial Economy Board of the Council of National Defense
recommends that merchants
Grant Credit for No Longer than Thirty Days
Sell More Necessities and Less Luxuries
Make Only One Delivery a Day
The idea of the government is to reduce the expense of doing business to the mer
chant with the object in view that the goods and merchandise sold will reach the
consumer at a less cost. WP*”*'

HONOLULU, Dec. 19.—Honolulu is
to be cleaned up by the army to make
the city safe for soldiers. Announce
ment to this effect was made yester
day by military authorities, who
stated that the movement had the in
dorsement of Brigadier General John
P. Wisser, commanding the Hawaiian
department.
An officer from Schofield barracks,
whose name is withheld at his re
quest in order that the offenders may
not know whom to avoid, has been
detailed for the work, and he- asserts
that the job Is to be a thorough one.
Many soldiers are taken to the
police station every night and booked
by the provost guard for drunkenness.
Where and how they obtain liquor, in
the face of the laws and regulations
prohibiting its sale to men in uniform,
is one of the things that the army
authorities propose to find out.
The drug traffic is another matter
that, according to the officer detailed
for the work of cleansing the city, is
to receive particular attention.
The captain detailed for the work
said also that the military authori
ties intend to use every effort to de
tect and prosecute those persons who
buy from the soldiers army clothing
and equipment, the proceeds of which
are sometimes spent for liquor oi
drugs, he says. He will also take
measures strictly to enforce the law
that prohibits civilians from wearing
any part of the recognized uniform oi
a soldier.
This last announcement is causing
considerable apprehension in Hawaii

army authorities to be included In the
articles to be worn by civilians, and
in this country virtually all planta
tion managers, foremen and other
“bosses," as well as engineers and
many other persons, habitually wear
leather puttees and find them practi
cally a necessity on account of the
nature of ‘he country and of their
work.
Fears have been expressed that on
account of moral conditions soldiers
might be forbidden to visit Honolulu,
