HAWAII SHOULD BE THERE

On November 26 and y conference is TO be
held at Portland, Oregon, at which Hawaii
should have some sort of representation for its
promotion interests and plans for tourist
traffic Z
The governors of Washington, Idaho Utah,
Montana and Oregon have been called into
this conference by Governor West of Oregon.
Its avowed object is to discuss means of having
the 1915 travel to San Francisco for the Pana-
ma Pacific Exposition next year routed through
the Northwest and of taking care of the visitors
when they arrive
Governor johnson of California has been in
yited to the conference as we'll as the officials
of the Exposition.
Hawaii has very lively and personal interest
in the tide of exposition travel.
This territory cherishes the legitimate hope
of profting by the exposition attendance of
getting large number of exposition visitors to
continue their travels to Hawaii, the Isles of
Peace
Hawaii s plans in no way conflict with those
of the Northwest states. They may be made to
work in with and supplement the Northwest
plans
1t would be neither gratuitonsly intrusive
nor unnecessarily self-seeking for the Hawaii
Promotion Committee to take steps for some
sort of representation for this territory at the
Portland conference Beyond question Cover
nor West and the other Northwest executives
would be glad to have present a spokesman
for Hawaii.
After attending such conference the rep
resentative of Hawaii would be in position to
advise the Hawaii Promotion Committee and
other public bodies how best to go after the
tourist trade in 1915 and how best to care for
The visitors who come here in 1915.

two days at Liverpool before finally

we could get-and we were glad to
get that And there was not one in
the steerage who belonged ordinarily
to the steerage class. Many wealthy
men and women were among the list.
We had comparatively smooth trip,

as they were in the close, badly-ar-

TSINGTAU ABLE TO
WITHSTAND SIEGE

Tsingtau. Germany s naval and colonial base
in North China, is not likely to prove an easy
nut for the japanese to crack unless the inyad-
ing forces have been able to move some extra
ordinarily heavy siege guns for bombardment
purposes.
Port Arthur presented to the japanese in the
Manchurian war few problems more difficult
than those of Tsingtau. just as the outside
world knew little of Port Arthur nine years ago
so does the outside world know little of this
German port and colony site on the Shantung
peninsula Yet for number of years Germany
has here been building up wonderful naval
and commercial base-one that an enthusiastic
descriptive writer has called the Dream City
of the Far East
Tsingtau came into possession OF the Ger
mans as a result of the attack and murder of
two German missionaries in the interior Of
Shantung. Fourteen days later Admiral Won
Diederichs took squadron into Kiaochau bay
and occupied it Next spring China and
Germany signed convention by which the lat
ter country got 99-year lease on Kiaochau
bay, together with large mining and other con-
cessions in the peninsula.

Orient are to be believed Germany had been.
hunting for suitable base on the China coast
for several years previously. AT any rate i'm
mediately after Tsingtau and Kaiochau bay
were won by martial diplomacy Germany be-
gan an amazing work Of development.
Count Won Rex, late German ambassador to
Japan, said ii recent interview that Tsingtau
IS not nearly SO strong fortress as Port Arthur
and that its fan is only matter Of time Others,
however, disagree with this slight estimate of
Tsingtau's ability to withstand siege.
Today Tsingtau is a city as German as Der
lin It's docks are of permanent construction,
its streets likewise, its houses, barracks struc-
lures Of all kinds laid out with military pre-
cision and order. The great bay, magnificent
sheet of water except for IFS lack of depth, has
been largely dredged. Tsingtau boasts a float
ing drydoclx said to be large enough to receive
the heaviest dreadnonglt that steams the seas.
The hills that enclose the bay on three sides are
strongly fortified The land approaches to the
Germany colony that has settled around this
naval base are heavily guarded The town
has been built not for the comparatively meager
present but for future that to German hopes
Of commercial supremacy stretched away into
decades and generations of opulence and great
ness The railway crossed country behind the
town is being opened up with German foresight
and ability.
II is believed that about 1000 troops are
quartered at Tsingtau, and in time of war a.
large number of Germans employed in the adj
ministration offices, the railway Offices and
elsewhere are available for service.
