It is expected that a meeting
will be called in a few days at which
the fire protection matter will be
gone over thoroughly.

HAWAilis
ARE MADE UP OF
RACE IMRE
I HONOLULU.—Military units now
being organized in Hawaii through
i the operation of the selective ser
vice act probably are the most cos
mopolitan, size considered, in the
world.
rorto-Kicans, Portuguese, Koreans
Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiians, part
Hawaiians, Filipinos, and Spaniards
are wearing American uniforms and
are rapidly being trained in the me
, chanics of modern warfare.
The Orientals, their American
officers declare, will make splendid
fighting men and show a surprising
aptitude for military service. With
out exception, they display great
pride in their uniforms and mili
Itary bearing and present a smart
appearance in khaki.
1 It has been commonly reported
that these units would replace the
regular troops stationed in the is
lands and would not see service in
Europe. Many of the Orientals will
be greatly disappointed if they are
' not given an opportunity to test
themselves in action against the
Hun.
The Chinese youths now serving
in the army of Democracy take par
ticular pride in their military ser
vice. Two companies of them form
ing part of the recently federalized
National Guard of Hawaii, were
, acknowledged to be the best drilled
units in the organization.
A number of Hawaiians, recently
rejected because of physical defects,
left for their homes in tears, bit
terly disappointed because they could
—5 not hope for active service in Eu
rope.
