CURTAILING CONSUMPTION
OPP PAPER IN ENGLAND,
Reduction in Output of Railroad
Timetables and Bill Posters.

London, April Gone wartime
economy that the travelling public in
England may welcome is a reduction
in the output of railroad time tables.
These little booklets here are to a
large percentage of the people just as
mysterious as they are the world
over, and, there is the added incon-
viences of having to buy them as one
does a newspaper. They are not hand
ed out for the asking, as in the United
States.
In deciding to reduce the issue of
time tables the railroads had in view
the curtailment of the consumption of
paper, in accordance with the gov
ernments restrictions on the use of
paper in every conceivable instance.
At first it was suggested that time
tables be suspended entirely during
the war but this was voted down. The
compromise suggested is to have only
one general public time table put out
by each railroad company and that
the price be raised from two cents, as
at present, to six cents.
The question of disseminating the
whole of the posting on bill boards at
station platforms and along the lines
is also under consideration.

fSpecial Cable to Nippu Jill

TOXIC, Japan, March 18.-The
measure which was recently passed
in the Japanese Diet to do away with
the double nationality question has
been signed by Emperor Yoshihito
and viii go into effect on June 1, The
government has issued bulletin stat
ing that all Japanese who were born
in a foreign country may announce at
the age of 10 years whether or not
they wish to become Japanese sub
iects.
4"The recent Law passed in japan will
be welcome among the JaD4nese in
Hawaii" said X. KaWAmuE city edit
or of the Nippu Jill 4odsH "The law
states that the youS man must de-
clare his intention, at the age of Is
years and must have the consent of
his parents"
When asked whether or not the fact
that many Of the parents were born in
Japan would lead them to urge the
young man 10 claim allegiance to
Japan, Mr.. Kawamura said: .r..r.
Times Have Changed. " r
That perhaps would be the FIRST i'm
preston, but II is far from the cor
rect one. Fifteen years ago this
might have been true. but at the pres
eRt time Japanese who are now living
in Hawaii intend to make their homes
here, and ! am. certain that all Japan
ese children born in this territory will
be urged to claim the United States
as their own cogntry. 4...
Years ago the japanese who came
to Hawaii Otter. returned to Japan
with their savings, but you do not find
this condition today. The japanese
here have built homes, have educated
their children in the public schools
and many have adopted the ideas Of
the Americans.
Thousands Loyal to v. s.
Il could not cite single case where
the young men born In Hawaii will be
urged 10 claim allegiance to Japan.
The Japanese have their homes, their
social organizations here, and they are
playing a big part in the developmenti
Of Hawaii. When this law goes into
effect, you will find thousands Of
young japanese announcing that they
