MANY JAPANESE
VETERANS NOW IN
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Honolulu, Dec. 5.-Indications are crop
ping out that the japanese who have been
arriving here for some time, as well as
those who have been granted passports
and will arrive hereafter, are picked men
with military experience.
+. Y. Idsuma. representing SaIer IL
Fraser, the amalgamation OF American
and British shipping firms in Yokohama,
whose steamship, the Shibata, Is now IN
port, says at least 10000 japanese IN Ja-
pan are ready to come 10 Hawaii. The Ia
boring classes throughout the interior OF
Japan are beginning TO hear OF the oppor-
tunities they arc told exist here and are
showing a desire to come.
WASHINGTON rs NOT ALARMED.
Washington, Dec. 4.--War department
officials and army officers sec no signifi-
canoe in the report that Japanese with
military training are reaching the Ha-
waiian islands in large numbers. They
say this cannot have any bearing on the
differences between the United states and
Japan over the San Francisco school
question.
They argue that even If Japanese sol
diers should come TO the United States it
would mean little, for there Is small prob
ability OF war, and II there should be
war, it would be on the sea. If 100000 Jap
anese military men should come TO the
United states they would DC worthless
for war purposes, as they would pc too
far from their base OF operations 10 be
effect live. They would be swallowed up by
the American regular army and national
guard before they would have a chance to
make hostile demonstration.
That the trouble between the United
States and Japan will be adjusted is be-
lieved by President Roosevelt. his cabinet
and many members of congress Few Of
ficials in Washington think there will be
armed conflict, or even commercial war
fare.
Representative Grosvcnor Of Ohio says:
The only war the United States will ever
have with Japan will be commercial
war. When ! use the words will ever l
mean that there is no present indication
that the two countries will be brought 20
the clash OF arms; that there Is no more
likelihood that we will have trouble with
Japan than with any other country, and
our relations arc most friendly sincere,
with other nations. IL Japan's stand to-
ward us should change, / do not antici-
pate that Japan will bring war upon us
unless We should lose our army and navy,
and II is likely that both branches OF the
armed service will continue to rapidly de-
velop."

a disagreement.

The court decided TO make it one day

remained the same picture OF llvid indif-
ference. The under sheriff took him
back to Jail. and when he entered his
cell he was smiling. The iailer who locked
the cell door stood bumbfoundcd to see
the prisoner prepare hurriedly for bed,
with the air OF youth who had nothing
more serious than physical WEAKNESS to
get rid OF.
