JAPANESE IDEA
OF SHAM BAT TIE
RESERVES HAD NO INTENTION
OF VIOLATING THE LAW, SAYS
SHINPO.

Hawaii Shinpo, the japanese Weekly,
has the following:
The Stars rather sensational article
about the japanese sham battle of No
vember y, in which local legal authori-
ties declared the battle to have been a
violation of federal statutes dealing
with neutrality, gave many japanese
something of a scare, but an examina-
ton of law did not bear out the con-
clusion of those whom The Star quot
ed. Certainly no Japanese here want
to do anything that will embarass the
United States, or to violate any Ameri-
can laws, and the matter was inVesti-
gated at once, as much for the purpose
OF taking care that nothing wrong is
done hereafter as to see whether the
proceedings already taken were illegal.
The discussion has thus served to
make all better acquainted with the
laws as they stand. More care will be
| exercised in future than has been in
the past, to see that the Japanese here
do not do anything that may even
seem to be improper. The United
States is a nation friendly to Japan
and nothing could be further from the
intention of those who arranged the
sham battle than to take advantage of
the freedom allowed in such matters in
America, or to make any trouble either
for local federal officials or for Amer
lean diplomats. The Japanese who took
part are simply a lot of men who were
here waiting for a steamer to take
them home They have been laborers
and We're remaining in Honolulu in en-
forced idleness. 1t was therefore quite
natural that they should get up a plan
to do some drilling, for the sake of the
exercise and the exhibition, which was
an attractive one to their countrymen
here. 1t was purely harmless Sunday
amusement and that it could be regard
ed as violation of neutrality laws was
certainly a surprise. '--
If the Japanese had been armed and
had been regular organization, about
to proceed as such to the scene of war,
it is possible that their drill and sham
battle would have been improper on
neutral soil. But they carried no arms,
and they are not going home as a body,
Nor are they even going home in re-
Spouse to any direct orders of their
government. Most of them are going
home in reply to private cablegrams
from their relatives and they have no
organization at all So there is pro
badly no harm in them amusing them
selves by sham battle if they choose.
At any rate the matter has been in
vestigated, and we are informed on the
best legal authority, that no vialation
OF law has been committed in the mat
ter. This is something all Japanese
are glad to know.
The sham battle itself was an inter-
esting exhibition by some of the tried
soldiers Of the Chinese war. They are
leaving now to fight on harder battle
fields than those of ten years ago. They
are going into a conflict in which their
country may need many of them to
sacrifice their lives 1t was a source
of satisfaction and pride to the crowds
OF their countrymen who saw them
drill, to see their readiness and to cheer
