The year just closing has been one of the most prosperous in the nearly sevtnty years history of this paper, The Advertiser sharing in full measure in the general prosperity of the Territory. That we hav? kept our usual position, just a little in advance of the community generally, is our proud be-Uef, justified in the appreciation shown by the people of Hawaii, an appreciation which has given The Advertiser the largest circulation of any newspaper published in the Islands and the greatest advertising patronage.

They are good soldier material, and the suggestion met with the hearty approval of the war department: in accordance with which some two thousand Filipinos were enlisted, they uow forming nearly one-halt the enlisted force. These Filipino companies were formally recognized by the war department, and partial equipment issued to them. At this stage the point was raised that in order to be a member of the national guard, a person must be an American citizen, or have taken out first papers. The law was so vague that at first the department ruled that the Filipinos ere eligible to join the guard. Later it was ruled that, they were not technically citizens, although belonging to the United States; and that under the naturalization law they were not eligible to become naturalized.

Xext in order, a Filipino applied for naturalization before the federal court in. Honolulu. Judge Clemons decided that he was eligible, and issued first papers to him. LIABILITIES.

and has arrived at a conclusion exactly opposite to that reached by the latter. In other words. Judge Yaughan decides that a Filipino is not eligib'e to become naturalized. The corollary- of this is that a Filipino is not eligible to be a member of the national guard. A curious fact, bearing upon the situation, is that the federal government has enlisted and pays troops in the Philippines, who serve under regular army officers.
