BOSTON. November 4--After a month
that has been barren of interest for
Hawaii the islands have again tripped
out int the center of the stage and be-
come very important topic of discus
sion beth in the public prints and in pri-
vate discussion The cause of this sud-
den interest is the anti-Japanese agita-
ton which has drawn the eyes OF the
nation towards the west, California
first and then Hawaii
Many alarmists have been picturing
the dire results of Japanese uprising
in Hawaii. one press dispatch stating
that 10000 Japanese, veterans of the
various wars of Japan, We're in the is
lands and in case of hostilities might
easily seize them while the unfortif1ed
condition OF the group would render
them an easy prey to a japanese fleet.
No great damage is being done by such
reports, but a manifest benefit may be
seen in them for people are waking up
to the fact that in leaving the islands
without adequate military protection
We are leaving the key to our western
door on the outside and counting dis
aster.
The public feeling is well expressed
by articles in the Boston Evening
Transcript and other papers calling at
tention to the fact that there are no
nrti
lu. The Transcript called attention to
the fact that the islands We're girded
by reefs whose few breaks in the form
of harbors might be easily defended
We're the war department to show
proper activity in that direction
