STILL TAKING
TESTIMONY ON
RIOT in IWILEI

Blame for the riot in the Iwilei dis
trict. which was disclalmed for the
9th Cavalry by officers Of that regi-
ment and shifted to the men OF the
25th Infantry. has not yet been fixed,
although a thorough investigation is
being conducted. the Judge advocate
OF the Hawaiian Department having
taken il up.
More than a dozen enlisted men Of
the I'd Infantry. who were on the pro-
Yost guard the night of the riot. have
been examined at headquarters and
their evidence will have great deal
of weight.
Individual members of the 18th In
fantry have been punished at Scho-
field Barracks. not for participating
in the riot. but for being drunk or
disorderly the night of the riot.
1t will be impossible to find which
of the men were guilty of melting the
trouble, or were the ringleaders, and
the identity of most of those in the
riot Is not known.

move would be to coneede Japan hegemony
. in Far Eastern affairs. In this connection, 4
despatch published today is highly significant.
| 1t intimates that Britain has already agreed TO
Japanese preponderanee in the Orient-some-
thing the British statesmen would never do un-
less their hands were tied, as now, by the i'm
perative necessity Of keeping Japan as an ally
who NAV vet be called to send an army to Eu-
rope and feet to European waters
For many months past the press OF Japan
has discussed Germany and German affairs in
a manner 50 conciliatory and appreciative that
a reader ignorant of the European conflict
would scarcely suspect the two nations of being
avowed enemies Many of the Japanese papers
have discussed the possibility of Germany as
an ally, and still more have expressed dissatis-
faction with the British alliance. Probably
these utterances are not inspired by the gov
ernment but certainly, with the strict censor
ship which the japanese government always
exercises over the japanese press the editor
ials could not continue without some tacit APP
provaT among powerful statesmen.
The story that comes to Honolulu is that talk
of the Russo-German-Japane alliance has
gone so far as to create lively alarm in London
that British diplomat is now on his way to
Toxic to combat the influences working for
such pact.
1t would indeed be surprising turn of
world affairs to find Germany and Japan in full
alliance. But politics, pecuniary interests and
diplomacy make strange bed-fellows. Who
would have believed ten years ago that Russia
md Great Britain would be standing shoulder
10 shoulder9 That Great Britain and Turkey
would be fighting each other desperately mi
the next ten years, what other startling changes
in the lineup may not develop?

BRINGING HOME THE FACTS.

General Woods emphatic statement before
the house military committee Yesterday, and
President Wilson's opening speech Of his pre-
paredness' campaign, should go long way to
silence the ultra-pacifists who insist that no
expansion of army or navy is necessary.
Gen. Wood points out that the American
army at present is not even ready to undertake
armed Intervention in Mexico. Now even the
most determined paciist can hardly continue
to look with complacence on the Mexican sit
uation, can scarcely argue that under no cir
cumstances should the United States intervene
And if the United States does intervene, it
should be with strength, vigor and drive that
would end the struggle as soon as possible. To
send an adequate force across the Rio Grande
means years of guerilla warfare, in which
American lives would be needlessly sacrificed
and the very order delayed which armed inter
vention is intended quickly to restore.
The presidents statement that he is not
81 set = on the details of the bigger army plan is
significant II probably means that he will not
insist on carrying through the idea of cont
mental army, which is Secretary Garrison S
plan but which is opposed by Gen. Wood and
others

WILL GERMANY AND JAPAN BECOME
ALLIES?

Through Japanese sources there has cemoe
Through Japanese sources there has come
of the diplomatic sensations of the century
It is that Japan and Russia are working to-
ward an alliance with Germany, and that the
first move has already been made in the send
ing to Toxic of the noble emissary, Prince
Michaelovitch, representing the car.
So far as the logic of the Oriental situation
goes, there appear good reasons for such a
move, though these reasons must be reckoned
entirely outside the alliances of the present
war. Japan's big Oriental pact now is of
course with Great Britain. Russia and Japan
have a less sweeping agreement, the outcome
of the Russo. Japanese war. Germany is form.
ally at war with Japan.
Yet though Japan and Germany are belliger-
ents the commercial interests of these two ma
tons are not clashing so strongly as those Of
Japan and Great Britain Already there are
more than mutterings of a storm approaching
because of China. 1t was pointed out in these
columns some months ago that Japan grow
ing dominance in China must be matter of
grave concern to Great Britain, for not only
was Chinese sovereignty impaired, but British
political and commercial interests very serious
II menaced.
The British press was quick to recognize
this when last year Japan made the famous
twenty zone" demands on China-seven Of
which, it is reported, have lately been renewed
The well-informed and powerful British news
papers called on the government to safeguard
the nations commercial interests and fol
awhile there threatened to be friction with
Toxic. But Great Britain, plunged into saw
age and memorable war in which Japan was
her ally, could not make vigorous move on
behalf of China. Nor could Russia whose
Mongolian interests are also in part opposed
to those of Japan. The situation was in Japan s
hand and the statesmen of Toxic knew it full
we'll
The situation is still In Japan's hands, but
such will not be the case when this war ends.
particularly if it ends in favor of the Allies.
Then inevitably Great Britain must make some
move to regain her diminishing influence in the
Celestial land. The friction with japan is
likely to be much sharper then than now.
It is commonplace of present-day diplom
acy that though Great Britain and Japan are
allies in word in the fact of the Oriental situa
ton they are potential enemies Their inter
ests are now and must continue to be diametric
ally opposed. And this is the reason why
Japan is said to be at least considering an al
lance with Germany and Russia.
Germany had Kiaochau as a commercial and
military base in China and was rapidly extend
ING her commercial spheres of influence. Still.
Germany, Russia and japan conceivably could
partition China in a mutually satisfactory man
ner. something that Great Britain and .Janan
can hardly do And this tri-party alliance
moveover would have tremendous military as
well as economic and diplomatic strength.
