THE CHINESE SITUATION.

China's diplomatic delays in meeting the
Japanese demands are evidently for two main
reasons. First and most important is the hope
Of arousing a protest against the demands on
The part of the United States and perhaps even
Of influencing Great Britain to utter a cautious
Warning; and secondly, to take what military
steps the young republic can, so that if Japan
escorts to force, the task of subduing China will
not be entirely easy. ~.
AS to the first, there are external evidences
that China relies upon the intercession of
american residents with the United States
eovernment.t Such an intercession was the
5000 word appeal cabled by American mission
aries to President Wilson a few days ago.
When Bishop Bashford passed through Homo
lulu on his way to the states, he would not con-
firm the report that he was to see President
Wilson and lay the situation before him, but
both in the Orient and in America that report
vas given publicity when the bishop started
for the states. He is firm friend of China and
his Is an influential voice, While in Honolulu
he authorized the statement that if the news
paper reports of the japanese demands we're
true. the situation was very grave. AS the days

Ipass, it is seen that the newspaper reports may
be regarded as correct.
What representations are being made at
Washington none know except the principal
lparties-the president the state department,
probably the Japanese ambassador and the
;hineSe minister; and. in the Orient Minister
Reinsch at Picking. The impression steadily
gains ground that appeals from several sources
have reached the Wilson administration.
AS to the second probable main cause for
China : refusal to yield to what might appear
the inevitable: The Chinese military prepara-
ton. though it appears feeble enough in the
face of Japan splendid war-machine, will help
the Chinese to carry on long fight in some of
the provinces.
Military preparation is rather openly carried
on in Mukden, according to news by mail from
the Orient to Honolulu. In one week seventeen
carloads of military supplies are reported to
have been shipped from the Mukden arsenal
TO Picking and other points. The supplies in
cluded field and mountain guns, hand rifles and
ammunition. On March Is, 100000 rounds of
ball cartridges were sent to the bri gade in bar
racks two miles from Mukden. Furthermore,
the Chinese civil governor at Mukden, it is re-
ported openly asserts that neither President
Yuan Shih-kai nor the people of China will
yield in matters infringing Chinese sovereignty
or the rights of other powers in China. He
says China will not consent to japanese de-
mands for land-ownership, residence and trade
throughout South Manchuria, the principal OBJ
lection being that foreigners carry with them
extra-territorial privileges, including exemp-
ton from Chinese taxation and that China
"awaits with confidence the termination of the
European war when the powers will be free to
deal with the Far Eastern situation.''
He also asserts that China perhaps could
grant nine tenths of Japan s demands but that
the remaining one-tenth she would, eff neces-
sary, forcbly resist"
Japan might take every port and principal
city in China and still the great nation would
be unsubdued. There would remain millions
ready carry On the uneq against the
invader. It took many revolutions to over
throw the Manehus but they were overthrown
at last, The idea that Japan can conquer 400,
600,000 people in any brief period Of time is
i'll based. ...-
There are indications now that Japan is
yilding some material points in the demands.
Very likely in theFnext few days large conces-
sions win be made: Neither at home nor abroad
is Baron Kato's policy supported with any
thing like the unity of sentiment necessary to
carry it through.

MORE FEATURES NEEDED IN HAWAIIs
BUILDING

Criticism in no spirit Of ''knorking" but
aimed to he fair and constructive is coming
s back to Hawaii from San Francisco that the
territory's building lacks some exhibit features
which may easily be supplied.
b. A recent visitor at the cxpoSition-an a
friend of Observation-Disclosures the opinion that
Canada is securing the best attention of the
travelling public by It's we'll chosen exhibits por-
traying the many attractions Of the northern
play land for the leisure class of tourists
hunters, fishermen, golfers, Observation-Disclosures
and the like. The Canadian display is designed
especially for this end.
Now there is no need for Hawaii to initiate
Canada or any other place. But if the criti-
cism against the territorial buiIding-that it
lacks several desirable features which could be
furnished with little trOuble-if this criticism
is well founded, and some of it must be, it is
not late to amend the conditions.
One excellent suggestion of an informal ma
ture has reached the Star BuIletin-that some
of the big game-fsh found in Hawaiian waters
should be mounted and placed on display in the
building. The local Izaak Waltons and visiting
4bueIIHen nave Deen making some remarkable
catches. Only a few days ago two ono or
king fish, one more than so and the other
more than 81 inches in length, were captured
off Waikiki beach. Huge tuna abound in Ha-
Waiian waters and are caught frequently.
It is safe to say that-if the Hawaii Tuna Club
we're asked to secure big game-fish for mount
ing, it would do so in short order.
Through such special appeals to special
classes of tourists Hawaii can get the most
good out of the exposition building and ex-
hibits.
The fair commission has been handicapped,
II Is true bx lack sof funds necessitating con-
finuous scaiing d0wnDf pans for many months
before the exposition opened. But now that a
definite need appears to have been pointed out,
Why not seeywhat can be done tor fill it, The
expositionsis only two months old ! It has six
months yet to run. By far the largest crowds
are still to visit the Hawaii building. The big
opportunity to attract tourists is still in the
future, but il is an immediate future, and every
avenue Of approach should be utilized.
Singing boys and painted fish, say those who
have visited the exposition, are not enough.
Yet it's not too late to remedy whatever defect
Exists. Quick action is necessary.

HANDS.AROUND'
CLUB PLANNING
..LUSTYWEL|C0ME

B Arrangements are almost complete
for the international dinner to the
congressional party at the Outrigger
Club grounds next Wednesday even
ing The executive committee of the
Observation-Disclosures movement
will hold final luncheon at the Uni
versity Club tomorrow at noon, when
the list of speakers will be selected
and the decorating committee for the
several national tables appointed.
At the Outrigger grounds the big
cement lanai has been enlarged so
that the mems and women's lanais
under the iau trees may be thrown
into one; the fencing has been moved
back from the Eva side and space
arranged where the HaWaiians may
build an imu for the baking of the
mullet course in ti-leaves which they
will provide; the Chinese will have
their kitchen and cooking utensils
here, as will the Japanese and here
will be the big army oven, so that the
early corners may see how each ma
tienality prepares its particular dish.
There will be table for each coun-
try about the big ocean, and speaker
from each; Hawaiian and Filipino mu-
sic will enliven the feast and on the
women's lanai the ladies Of the con.
gressional party will be Toasted and
entertained by a committee Of ladies
from each nationality. 1t is expected
that considerably more than 300
including the guests, will sit down
to the big international feed. The
ladies will be so seated that they will
hear the speeches. In the afternoon
the big canoes will be at the service
Of any of the visiting party. From
the railway station the congressional
party will be taken direct to Waikiki
on the arrival of the train from Leile-
hua at p. M, so that at $50 the
dinner may begin, and at o'clock the
speeches will start, as many of the
congressman wish to get away by
$50. while others will go direct from
the feast to the steamer, which leaves
at 10 p. m.
