cradle difficulty is being experienced
in towing the disabled war relief
steamship amino back to this port
The Canine, which lost her rudder in
a storm, had been towed in about
half the distance to port, but yester-

the steamer away from the Andres
coggin, which. was towing, and snap
ped the hawSer. The Canine rolled
heavily for "a hours in the trough of
the sea, until the Kanawa. which had
been standing by, got line aboard
early today and is towing her in. The
vessels are expected to arrive in port

Defends Action of Nippon Gov
eminent in Landing Troops
On Chinese Soil
EAssoctated Press hy yea. wireles

Associated Press by FED. Wireless
NEW YORK, y. Y, Jan. 24.-That
Japan has every right to retain Kiao-
chau. with the naval base of Using
tau, il such action be deemed proper
at Toxic. is the contention made in an
address delivered last night before
the Japan society of New York by DR..
Toyokichi Iyenaga, enc OF the most
prominent Japanese residents CT Am
erica, former professor or political
science at the Chicago Columbia uni
yersity. ~. ..
The retention of Kiacchau would
be no violation of the integrity of
China, said the speaker, inasmuch
as the concession had been leased By
Germany and does not form part OF
the Chinese empire as a consequence.
Before Japan landed any part OF
her expeditionary force at Lungkow,"
he said, "the Germans had taken mill
tary measures in Shantung beyond
the limits of the 50-kilometer zone,
within the confines of which China
had asked Germany and Japan to con.
fine their military activities. Circum-
stances established by Germany were
such that it would have been suicidal
for Japan to have confined her mill
tary operations within the so-called
war zone.
i do not pretend to forestall what
ever final agreement Japan may make
with China for the, eventual settle
ment of this question of possession
and occupation of Kiaochau, but II is
certain, however, If the Allies win, as
# seems certain they will, that Japan

Corresponding Secretary,
Trail and Mountain Club:
yours of the 18th 70 hand. ! shall
be in Honolulu February /, and remain
there several days. possibly coming to
Kauai on the excursion boat and shall
try and give Won all the data | can
for seeing the Wainea canyon. II Is a
difficult problem, rs to get the best
view one should go up as far as Pun
ku Pele, a 2 IL hours ride by horse
back. The wagon road is rather badly
washed by the recent heavy rains and
has not been repaired by us yet, still
light spring cart could 90 up with
a light load and party of trampers
could walk up in 10 or 4 hours and
camp at the base OF Puuku Pele, on
the.west slope where | have a water
tank OF good drinking water and a
nice protected little valley, and a
crowd Of boys and men could camp
there Saturday night and get back
again to Waimea in plenty of time
for the steamer-of course they would
start up early Saturday afternoon,
leaving Waimea not later than 1 D.
m. The camp wohld be at an eleva-
ton OF about 5000 feet and rather
cold with the north wind but there is
plenty OF fuel and II each camper had
a good double blanket they should not
suffer too much.
THE canyon by late evening and
early morning light is very beautiful
and the party could walk along the
rim Of the canon almost all the way
back to WaiInea. giving them fine
view OF the Kauai uplands. and the
extensive views of Koloa and Niihau,
lying far away to the south and west.
But anyway shall be in town Feb
ruary 1 and we can talk ii over more
fully and IL you want any arrange
ments made like taking up a wagon
load and man to dish up a camp
meal, think could give you,a little
help in the matter.
Yours truly,
(Signed) ERIC A. KNUDSEN.'

TO place the State government on a bus
mess basis. More than 100000 worth of
political Jobs will be abolished by these
bills, and were 1t not for the fact that
the forces behind some $500 Jobs in con-
nection with the various oyster commits
sions had political strength enough to
postpone final action until next Monday
night, the proposed laws would have been
signed by Governor Fielder and become
laws before Easter.
Seldom has such an insistent and pow
erful lobby been maintained as against
these bills. The Republican majority was
only held in line by Senator Walter p.
Edge, President OF the Senate. who, as
chairman of the commission that investi-
gated and reported the present bills, de-
clared he would campaign against any
member who failed 10 keep the party
pledge as expressed In the platform. This
threat and the fear of many Democrats
10 vote against a project that was a
strong issue during the last campaign,
sent the bills through the Assembly with
little material change from the bills en-
acted by the Senate.
