It was also reported that at the governor's office either an attempt had been made to bomb the USS Lexington, or that it had been -bombed.

Governor Poindexter and'the army and navy leaders have called upon the public to remain calm; for civilians who have no essential business on the streets to slay off; and for every man and woman to do his duty. That request, coupled with the measures promptly takenX to meet the situation that has suddenly and ttrriblj developed, will be needed.

Hawaii will do its part as a lojal American 'leriffory. In this crisis, every difference of race, creed and color wiH be submerged in the one desire and determination to play the part that Americans always play erisi.
