AMERICA'S SOLDIERS EVERYWHERE ISLAND OF MYTILENE, Aegean Sea, April 10 (By Associated Press) Vn Timttpr where one travels in Greece or Italy these days the Araer lean soldier is to be found. Here on this far-off infreaueuted island one would scarcely expect to see a dough boy but ne is here. The Yank is be coming a familar sight in the Near-East. In remote villages the traveler will find former west-front dough-boys working for the Army Food Mission, the Aemrican Red Cross Balkan Commission, or on pleasure bent, visiting, with the permission of the army, the old folks and the boyhood home. On Mytilene island are Greek born Americans fro mseveral United StateB Army units.

One is from Springfield, and wears the Italian insignia of the Lion of St. Mark on his left shoulder. He was born in Mytilene and fought with the 332nd infantry in Italy. Color Sense "It says here that blind people can be taught to distinguish colors by the sense of touch," said the Fat Man. "Well, that isn't surprizing," replied the Thin Man.

Be interested not in party but in conditions and in wrongs to be righted, and welcome the help of nny party that will help you do the bolter thing. Recommends Government Study "Organize yourselves into groups to study civil government and the machinery on which your government, is based and study parliamentary law. Begin with the girls in the schools so that it will be easy for them to preside and take part in meetings. Women have always done their work alone and men have done their work together.

Men have learned co-operation and have left the women to do the things that can be done one by one. One great lesson that women have to learn is to work together: to put principles above personalities' and work with women that they don't like for a common cause. You women did it In the red cross and in that same spirit you must work together in the common problems In your community. "Study the problems of your community. Begin to study the problems ofSchool, use of the school buildings, community health and sanitation and devote a month or a season to the study of some of these problems.

In a short time you will be able to ask the men questions that will make their heads swim. "You are a part of the community; your influence counts and sooner or later your vote will be given you and that will count. If you were a king or a queen it would be your duty to know the problems of your people and help them and make your community larger and better. You are all kings and queens in Anierica, and every American citizen, man or women, has a duty to perform and that duty is to know the problems of the community." At the conclusion of Rev. Palmer's talk Judge Kuloa translated the gist of the speech to the Hawaiian women present, in their native language.

A number of songs were sung by a native Hawaiian quartet which were much appreciated. Mrs. Baldwin Becomes Head Nominations were then in order for officers, and on motion of Mrs. H. A.

Baldwin, a nominating committee was appointed to select officers for the organization.

The members of the executive committee in their respect districts will establish smaller organizations with their own staff of officials and will be subject only to suggestions from the central organization.

Practically every woman at the meeting signed the first lists of membership, and thus automatically became charter members of the organization. Altogether the meeting was successful beyond the hopes of its organizers, and it is expected that a well planned campaign for the study civic and community problems will 1 outlined for the women of Maui the coming year. rest of the territory combined, excluding Oahu. But the Governor was not condemning Hawaii when he did it. In fact he evinced a high degree of admiration and respect for the Hilo boosters, and indicated very strongly that if Maui or Kauai feel that they have been getting what is coming to them they should take a lesson from Hilo.

In short, he made it clear that if any community does not have interest enough in its own welfare to Fpeak up and ask for what it wants, and to take the trouble to collect data and arguments to back up these desires, it is expecting a good deal if It thinks anyone else is going to do it for it. What Hilo Is Doing "I spent several days in Hilo this trip," stated the Governor "and most of the time was taken up looking Into park sites that the Hilo people want set aside. There is some beautiful forest country along the Wailuku river above Rainbow Falls, which they went opened as a park. The land can never be put to a better use, and I am glad to help them in this matter. Another project is the setting aside of over 4000 acres of forest land below Olaa running down to the sea beyond the breakwater.

This land is all a rough a-a lava flow and has little or no agricultural value. But it does have a park value and in asking to have it set apart I believe the Hilo people show much foresight and wisdom. Besides there is included some fine beach lands suitable for bathing. Hilo would have these beaches cut up and sold for homes and the money devoted to opening the needed roads through the park area. "Now all this is not simply a half- baked plan of some idealist.

The Hilo people have gone right to the bottom of the matter. They had blue prints ready for me, showing the roads proposed and all other details wanted in connection with each of their projects. I have just received by this morning's mail copies of these maps and other data on which I shall be able to act intelligently. "I also went over with them the matter of relocating the hospital and high school, which project involves the straightening of a street by the of certain bits of laud. All this had been worked out in businesslike fashion.

"There are a bunch of live-wires In Hilo who have come into control pretty fully in the past few years. They are not all one happy family to b-3 sure, but aro split up more or less by factions, but they all believe absolutely in Hilo and Hilo's future, and when it comes to boosting along these lines they stand together like one man. And all these things they are asking are practical and will help not only Hilo but the territory as well. I am only too glad to encourage them to go ahead and to tell them that whenever I can help it will be a pleasure to do so." Hilo Has Foresight Ail of which Is, I think, of prime interest to Maui. We all used to be inclined to make fun of Hilo's enthusiasms.

We can't afford to do that any more. Hilo has made good her boasts is continuing to make good. And her foresight is absolutely sound. Unless all indications fail this territory is on the eve of a business and tourist boom such as even the most optimistic have scarcely dreamed of. I am afraid that Honolulu is going ta.be caught napping and swamped, because the thing is going to come with a rush.

But Hilo bids fair to be in position to reap the rewards of hard work and faith faith in Hilo and Hilo people. Here in Honolulu I was surprised to find hotels and boarding houses crowded. Where all the people come from I don't know, but they are here. They are not tourists to any great extent because tourists can't get here. But they are here, and Honolulu doesn't seem a bit dull.

What the place will be like in the course of an other year when steamships get back to the Pacific and the tourists really can come, and when the 40,000 or more regular troops are sent here for station, together with possibly half as many more men of the navy which are also said to be scheduled for stationed on Oahu, is hard to guess. But there isn't any doubt that Honolulu will be some crowded unless she gets a big move on, and that very soon. Something In A Name "Goo, whiz!
