The children will be entertained with games in the gymnasium during the reception hour. Owing to alterations in process in the kitchen made necessary by the erection of the Alexander Young building next door, the upper floor will hot be open to visitors. The rooking class will therefore have its demonstration lesson in the lunch room immediatelv nfter dinner. The exhibit of the millinery and dressmaking classes will be found in the reading loom. instead of in the Iub room as first planned.

The gymnasium will, however, probably attract the largest crowds. At half-past six iss Anderson will conduct a model gymnasium class, and a little later an esthetic dancing class. Soon after seven o'clock there will be a basketball game between the Normal Ilookipa Club and the Hawaiian Girls Club. Owing to the absence from the city of several of the members of the Jolly McKinleyites team, the final game of the basketball season between the Normal Hookipa Club and the Jolly McKiuleyites originally scheduled for tonight has been postponed until after the reopening of school. Festivities will close early so as to permit the many friends of both the Y.

London Denied Soldier Canard In Epistle To Friend Just after his departure from the Islands last summer, Jack London once again was called upon to nail the canard that attributes to him the statement that "being a soldier is the lowest aim in life." The letter from Jack London denying this statement and the letter attributed to him in which military life, is attacked are now being used by tiavy recruiting officers as circulars. The letter attributed to London by those seeking to misrepresent the army and navy follows: "Youh" The lowest aim in your life is to become a soldier. The 1 good soldier never tries to distinguish right from wrong. He never thinks; never reasons; he only obeys. If he it is ordered to nre on rus xeiiow vm- zees, on his friends, on bis neighbors, on hi relatives, he obeys without hesi-J tation.

If he is ordered to tire dow a crowded street when the poor are clamoring for bread, he obeys, and sees the gray hairs of age stained with red and the life tide gushing from the breasts of women, feeling neither remorse nor sympathy. If he is ordered off as a firing squad to execute a hero or benefactor, he fires without hesitation, though be knows the bullets will pierce the noblest heart that ever beat, in human breast. A good soldier is a blind, heartless, soulless, murderous machine. He is not a man. He is not a brute, for brutes only kill in self defense.

All that is human iu him, a.11 that is divine in him, all that constitutes the man has been sworn away when he took the. enlistment roll. His mind, his conscience, aye, his very.aoul, are in keeping of his officer. No man can fall lower than a soldier it is a depth beneath which we cannot go. Keep the boys out of the.

army. It is hell. 'Down with the army and nayy. We don't need killing institutions. We need life-giving institutions.

'JACK LONDONVv Here is London's answer: "Glen FJlen, California. "August 5, lPflCi. "Lieut. James D. Willson, "Navy Recruiting Station, "Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"Dear Mr. Willson: "In reply to yours'of June 23, 11: "I have inst returned from Hawaii, last night, hence you will understand my delay in replying. "In reply to your inquiry I will state that 1 never wrote a line of this 'Good Soldier' canard. For years and years 1 have been denying the authorship of it, in England, iu the United States, everywhere, by personal letter, by interview, by telegraph and by cable. There is scarcely a mail that comes to me which does not bring me a letter like yours, wanting to know whether or not I wrote the eatiard.

As far as I can trace the history of this, it was originally published and circulated in Germany, and later on was brought over to the Uuited States, translated and circulated with my name attached. And'frowi there it has spread over the res? of the world. All you have to do is to. read my books and newspaper work to find that for the newspapers 1 have done only war correspondence and prizefighting, and that in my books I i am tuiiled by the critics as the father of red blood fiction. "My opinion is that it behooves a country or nation like the United States to maintain a reasonable preparedness for defense against any country or nation that at any time may go out upon the way of war to carve earth space for itself out of weaker and unprepared "The dressed fie, you gave Mrs.

London in Vera Cruz are a source of wonder aud amusement to our friends to whom we show them. "Remember me to Captain Beach rnd Doctor Dessez when you see them. "Sincerely vours, "JACK LONDON."
