Every NIGHT

HONGKONG, Chino.As the gateway
to the commerce OF the Far East and
England's most important stronghold
In the Orient, Hongkong feels the ef-
feet Of the European war more keenly
than most Of England's outposts Be-
ing strongly fortified there is every
reason why an enemy should seek to
make Shanghai less formidable.
Ordinarily, ships are permitted to
approach Hongkong island through
two channels, which lead into the riy-
er harbor. One Of these is now closed
and the other channel is carefully
guarded and swept daily for mines.
Early in the war 4 Chinese junk was
discovered sowing mines In the en-
trance to the inner harbor There
have been constant rumors since then
OF the discovery Of mine sweepers and
other craft supposed to be in the hire
OF England's enemies.
No movements Of ships are permit
ted in Hongkong harbor now at night
and searchlights constantly play over
the waters to locate anyone who has
escaped the vigilant police boats. The
lights also wander over the frowning
mountains about the harbor entrance
on which disappearing guns are con-
cealed.
American Gunbcat on River.
An American gunboat is the only
warship in the port at present, and
American gunboats alone patrol the
Pearl river, leading to Canton. and af-
ford protection to foreigners who have
little faith In the Chinese navy. but in
ordinary times enjoy the protection
OF ships belonging to several of the
European nations.
Most OF the English troops ordin-
arily stationed at Hongkong are also
gone and their duties have been taken
over by the English home guard. Hun
dreds OF the Englishmen employed by
the various banks, shipping concerns
and mercantile houses have volunteer
ed for this work so that the regulars
might go to European battlefields.
Docks are guarded by these volun-
teers. The camp where hundreds of
Germans and Austrians are interned
is in charge of volunteers. Squads of
civilians may be seen drilling in var
ious parts of the city preparatory to
giving part of their time. to guard
duty
The English volunteers wear khaki
suits with Norfolk jackets and short
trousers which leave the knees ex-
posed. Englishmen of all ages may be
seen walking about Hongkong in these
uniforms with the same pride the
home guards in London and Liverpool
take in their unusual uniform.
Sports Are Neglected.
Golf courses and tennis courts are
deserted for the time being, as most
of the ablebodied men who have not
returned to England are getting their
exercise through military duty.

sengers entering or Ieaying the is

Uncertain on Matter Of Appeal,
But Says Naturalizations
May Be Cancelled

That the admission Of Takao Ozawa,
a local Japanese. TO citizenship would
not necessarily establish precedent
whereby the bars would be let down"
to all other alien japanese In Hawaii
who might desire to become subjects
OF Uncle Sam. Is the opinion Of Fed.
eral Judge Sanford B. Dole.
The fact that 0zawa's petition has
been accepted by the local federal
court, and has been taken under adj
.visement by Judge Dole. has led 10
many speculations as to just what
the outcome would be should 1t be
accepted. II instructions have been
Issued by the department of justice

refrain from noting appeals in natur-
alization cases-Attorney r. w. Brec-
kons having said that such instrue-
tons were received ii q circular lets
ter about two years ago when he was
district attorney here some observs-
ers have been inclined to believe that,
should Ozawa be admitted, the door
would be open allowing all other alien
Japanese here to become citizens and
thereby voters. II Is estimated that
there are more than 10000 alien Japa-
nese in Hawaii who might pass nat
tralization tests.
Need Not Be Binding.
Judge Dole's opinion in the matter,
however, intimates strongly that this
would not be the case. He said today

Japanese Plead military Ne
cessityv for Many Of the
Changes Beng Made


TSINGTAU, China. Few traces re-
main OF the long siege which krobbed
the Germans OF this model city and
turned It into Japanese hands. BY
means Of aeroplhne scouts, the Japa-
nese were able to direct the fire Of
their big guns against the forts OF the
heights surrounding Tsingtau so ac-
curately that little damage was done
to anything but the military strong
holds. A few stray shells landed in
the city. Pieces Of shell did slight
The Brazilian consulate was wrecked
A corner was knocked on the Prinz
Heinrich hotel. pretentious building
on the waterfront. But all damaged
walls have been repaired and the
beautiful city which the Germans
carved out Of the granite hills facing
Kiaochau bay is moving along peace
fully, little changed excepting that
Japanese have replaced Germans.
Instead Of $500 Europeans who ijv-
ed In Tsingtau previous to the siege,
1880 japanese. have settled here.
Many Of these have opened up shops
and taken over business which the
Germans conducted. The japanese
government discouraged this rush to
Tsingtau, which was overdone to the
extent that many of the new shops
have had to close.
Using Waldeck's Palace.
Military necessity" has enabled
Japanese officials to take over many
private institutions as well as the pub
lie buildings. Lieut. col. Yoshimura,
the military governor, occupies the
handsome stone structure formerly
used by Colonel Waldeck, the Ger
man governor OF the concession. who
is now prisoner in Japan. This inn
posing building surmounts high knoll
in the heart Of the European section
of the city and the great white nag
with the rising sun in 1t which floats
from the lofty tower Is the first thing
which meets the eye OF a visitor enter
ing TsinIgtau on the railway manned
by Japanese.
A Japanese garrison of one battalion
occupies the barracks on the heights
overlooking the city. Japanese soldiers
police the city and two regiments Of
Japanese are scattered along the 246
miles of railway built by the Germans
to connect their seaport with the rail-
way system which touches Pekin,
Tientsin and Shanghai and connects
those centers with the Yangtse-kiang
and other great rivers penetrating the
interior of China.
Abandon War Time Railway.
In preparation for the attack of
Tsingtau the Japanese effected land
ing in Lao-shan-wan bay, IS miles
northwest of Tsingtau and constructed
a temporary railway upon which they
moved their 2S-centimeter guns and
supplies to sites behind the hills sur
the city. Germans and Chi
nese believed the Japanese would hold
this right-of-way and build a perma-
nent line, but the Japanese have al
ready taken up the rails and abandon
ed the route.

general appearance of the city BY the |

JUDGE DOLE SEES NO PRECEDENT
SETTING NATTER INOzAWA CASE

/ Among the matters to be considered
in the admission Of a petitioner would
be his attitude toward the constitu.
ton. his knowledge Of English and
his knowledge Of the constitution, said
Judge Dole.
Regarding the matter of appeals by
the government in naturalization
cases, Judge Dole said that IL man
has been naturalized and Il turns out
that there was something fraudulent
about IT, or some feature which might
have made 1t improper for the court
to naturalize him, the government
might bring the case up again and
have It cancelled, which action. the
Judge added, Is a kind Of appeal.
Appeal Question New Point.
but whether there Is an appeal in
a naturalization case or not Is a new
point, said Judge Dole. "Since have
been on the bench there have been no
appeals in naturalization cases"
Judge Dole pointed out that the re
vised statutes limit appeals. and that
naturalization is not included among
these limits.
Il would not say that an appeal can
not be TAKEN Judge Dole continued
Il would have to study that. Natur
alization Is not a penal action. II Is
a. civil action. My decision In. the mat
ter would not be binding unless the
supreme court sustained It.
Giving Case Much Study.
The case Of Ozawa Is such an inn
portant one that do not wish to
hurry 1t. am giving II a good deal
OF study
Judge Dole added that he has heard
nothing OF the instructions to district
attorneys referred to by Attorney
Breckons.
Section Is Of the revised laws reads,
In part. as follows:
That II shall be the duty of the
United States district attorney for the
districts upon affidavits
showing good cause therefor. to instis
tute proceedings in any court having
jurisdiction to naturalize aliens in.
