"Nichi" is the rising sun Of Japan.

Rice can not live without the rising
sun. Japan must have rice on which
to live. Therefore there must be ever
lasting friendship between Japan and
America.
Rear-Admiral Rees evolved this
idea, and II has been spread abroad
throughout the homes Of the Japanese
by Consul-General Uyeno, who at the
luncheon given Saturday at Haleiwa
by Admiral Rees gave "Nichi Bel Shin
Zen" as his toast and expressed the
deep qualification Of the Japanese to
Admiral Rees. who had not only per-
sonally and officially strengthened the
ties Of friendship between the two ma
tons, but had also brought into being
a phrase that so perfectly fitted the
situation.

imagined than that which prevailed
among the American and japanese Of
iicers and civilians who were the
guests of Admiral Rees on the trip
to Pearl Harbor, thence on to Hale

station about nine o'clock, on board
the lighthouse tender Kukui, which
made the run to the harbor quickly
and comfortably The excellent vol

along the coast the points of interest
were brought to the attention of the
visitors. As the party approached the
scene of the channel dredging. blast
was set OFF that threw up a great
fountain of water and gave a demon
stration of the method of preparing
the way for the dredgcrs working on
either side.
Watertown doomed up like grow
ing, bustling town. And further along
the scene of the drydock operations
was an interesting proof of progress.
Here another big blast was set of
just as the Kukui approached.
No stops were made, but the prog
ress Of the vessel was slow enough to
enable those on board to get gen.
eral idea of the plans that are being
worked out at the harbor. Passing
the site of the drydock, the vessel
went on to the Peninsula, where all
-. the guests except the midshipmen
landed in launches and boarded the
special train of the Oahu railway

set program except for his guests to
pass happy day" Not forgetting
the appropriate expressions of good

the Emperor of Japan, to which Ad-
miral iachiro responded by propos-

Japanese newspapers of the city. He
