JAPANESE BABY
is ADOPTED BY
Chinese COUPLE

A short time ago a Japanese woman
named Tanaka, who was a resident OF
Honolulu, was committed to the in
sane asylum. The question arose as
to what should be done with the minor
child of the woman, boy, who was
left without any means of support.
Young Hee and his wife, Chinese.
who lived next door 10 the Japanese
woman, took liking to the baby and
expressed a willingness to care for it.
The authorities allowed the Chinese
couple custody of the child.
Circuit Judge Whitney today sign
ed a decree giving Young Hee and
his wife permission to- adopt the Jap
anese baby. The husband stated that
he was financially able to provide for
the child, and declared that he and
his wife would treat the little Nippon
csc as their own baby and confer
upon him all legal rights of inheri-
lance.
Gases of this kind are unusual"
said Clerk John Marcallino. 1T is
very seldom that a Chinese couple
adopts a Japanese child, or vice versa.
This is the first case of this kind to
come before the court in several
years."

CADILLAC SETS
new RECORD FOR
TOURING AUTOS

Scattering speed records fer 100
miles and for the hour, the new eight
cylinder Cadillac established itself as
the fastest touring car made in Am
erica, il not in the world.
The distance covered during the
first so minutes was 7241 miles and
100 miles were travelled in 50 min
utes, as seconds. This latter is an
average of 7249 miles per hour, the
car therefore showing an increase in
speed as the miles increased.
This not only eClipsed all other Am
erican touring car records, but it
broke the records established only
about two hours previously by anoth-
er Cadillac Of the same type.
The second car beat the first by 1.35
miles for the hour and the time varia-
ton was only one minute, 80 4-5 sec
onds for 100 miles, showing wonder
full uniformity in the running of the
two cars.
The aggregate time of the two cars
for 200 miles was 167 minutes, 2 4-5
seconds.
The tests were conducted primarily
for the purpose of trying out certain
principles in designing and engineer
ing, the speed accomplishments being
merely incidental thereto.
The cars used were the seven pas
senger type, fully equipped including
top, windshield, extra wheel and tire.
A significant feature of the perform
ance was the fact that the cars were
not piloted by professionals, but by
m embers of the experimental engin-
eering departments of the factory
The driver of the car which estab-
lished the better record had not driv-
en- 10 miles on a track prior to this
event.

What the War Moves Mean

The depression of normally pessimis-

teutonic victory Lack of ammuni-
ton does not explain the continuous
Russian retreat since the first OF
May.
The frightfu1 strains of the years
fighting undoubtedly has begun to
undermine the Slav morale, and 1t
is legitimate for the teutons to be-
lieve they may cause Russia's COM
plete collapse in the near future.
The French and English lines can
not be pierced with the same amount
of pressure that is being used In Po-
land. In fact. 1t is doubtful whether
by any possibility they can be serf-
ously broken at all. The British and
French trenches are far better pre-
pared and better manned than is the
Russian front. There is nothing
publicly known about the western
situation that might encourage the
Germans to hope for victory. The
western allies have been saving their
ammunition since the eastern drive
began, in order to meet possible

Although the capture Of the Wis

with whom he conferred Thursday
concerning Mexico's future are under
stood today to have agreed unani-
mously.
That the Pan-American concert
would not agree on the latter alter
native was no foregone conclusion.
Some, at least, Of the conferees were
said to have expressed the opinion
emphatically that the first chief was
an impossibility even for provisional
president, that none Of the factional
leaders, in fact, has the necessary
qualifications for such role, and that
the sooner force Is restored to in the
interest Of some new candidate, the
better it will be for everybody.
This was not decided on, by any
means, however.

little more than preliminary eX-
change Of views. 1t was thought like
ly tentative program would be
mapped out at the second gathering,
scheduled to begin at 2:3o p. m. to-

must be reached as a necessary pre-

tinue until it has been decided. Then
