JAPANESE AMERICAN PATRIOTISM

give Appeals to American Patriotism" is the
title of very interesting and instructive booklet
issued from the publishing bureau Of the Hong
wanji Mission, under the direction of Bishop Y.
Imamura.
The inspiration for this book the bishop says,
was furnished by the activities of the citizenship
educational committee with which the Hongwanji
Mission has always been in active cooperation.
In his letter sent with the book the bishop says
10 impress firmly upon the hearts of the japanese
youth Of this territory what the true American
spirit s ID one of the final aims of the work carried
out by otf Hongwanji Mission here. Believing that
Of the most prominent historical papers of the
United States would bring the 1est answer to this
effect we decided to publish this little book under
the title Of "Fiye Appeals to American Patriotism"
The first Article as might be expected is the De
claration OF Independence; next the Farewell Ad-
dress of George Washington; then the famous mes
sage of james Monroe, which established the his
toric Monroe Doctrine; President Iircoln's Gettys
burg Address, and finally the War Message of Pre-
Eident Woodrow Wilson. The a. endix carries the
constitution Of the United States, and the final
touch is given by the international song written by
Philip Henry Dodge, and adapted to the tune
sCOlumbia, tie Gem OF the Ocean"
The preface written by the Bishop suggests to
his japanese friends that they memo-ize these doc
nments they do the patriotic utterances of Japan
these must be put into memory" says the bishop
.just as the five VOWS of the late emperor Of Japan
his edct education and his proclal 1tion of 1908
are memorized by almost every japanese. They are
the right md long wanted scripture of American
spirit, and hope they will be adopted as such in
the education for American citizenship"
The articles of the book are printed in English
as well as japanese, and certainly American par
ents will do we'll to follow the advice of Bishop
Imamura in urging that these famous utterances
be memori2ed by all American children.

DIR. KATSUNUMA
MADE PRESIDENT
JAPANESE BODY

Or Tomizo katsunuma, interpreter
OF the United States IMMIGRANT sta
ton here, is now president Of tie
characterization Citizens AsSOcla
IiUn. His election to that Office was
made last night at the meeting held
at T Murakami store on Hotel street.
Dr. Katsunuma succeeds the late At
torney A. X. Ozawa.
The question OF organizing Japa-
nese company for the National Guard
OF Hawaii, was not officially taken W.
last night, as was expected. But al
most all the members present, mum
boring G5, expressed their Willingness
to join the cOlCrs If called on. 1t is
expected that at the next meeting the
subject Of militia company will be
taken up.
DR.. katsunuma, though OF mature
age, stands ready to organize Japa-
nese company for the guard, he said
this morning. He believes this TO be
a great honor TO the Japanese and is
therefore advocating the immediate
organization of such a company.
AS to the selection Of white officers
Katsunuma said that the association
did not have time to discuss tie mat
ter last night Personally, lie was not
opposed to it, All other members who
were interviewed raised no objection
whatever TO being differed by whites.
But, at the same time, they think that
at a future time, they should be given
ranks in their own company the same
as the Chinese company, which is OF
ficered by Hawaiian-bOrn Chinese.
On the island Of Hawaii there are
about 10 members in the Japanese
American Citizens Association. They,
too, are willing to organize a com
pany, if permitted, said prominent
Japanese merchant this morning. The
Kauai Japanese haze formed snCh an
association. with a membership OF
about 90 The Maui Japanese are now
organizing an association of like ma
ture.

The Uniform and the Dance

To people anxious to do full justice, the incident
of the United States sailor requested to leave the
dance floor of the Young Hotel is one of the most
difficult.
An American community instinctively and imme-
diately rises to resent the implied insult involved
in the request made Of any man in uniform who
is behaving himself, to leave any social assembly
that is open to the public. This rises to something
approaching rage when the man is acting as the
escort Of a refined woman.
Sentiment and sympathy are entirely with the
soldier and the sailor, and it is right that it should
be 30.
Then steps in the discipline of rank governing
the relation of the officer, the petty officer and the
enlisted man. 1t CRATES harshly On the nerves of
the average civilian and is tolerated only as mat
ter of discipline.
The incident now in the public mind gives rise to
the suggestion that if there has to be any rule of
rank enforced in public assemblies of any character
the officers be asked to handle the matter.

WHEN UNCLE SAMUEL PEELS
HIS COAT

When Uncle Samuel peels his coat
And rolls his sleeves up tight,
You can bet your final sou-markee
There's going to be a fight.
He's very patient, is Uncle Sam,
And peaceful is his notion,
But when he gets his dander up,
Just watch him get in motion.
He's had some hard knocks in his
time,
Through quarrels of others picking,
But never lost an inch Of soil,
And never got q licking.
The Stars and Stripes his oriflamme,
The eagle for his token,
rom "Seventy-six" to Seventeen"
His record Is unbroken.
Ten million men now at his call,
And dollars without number,
Your Uncle SamuePs on the job
Awakened from his slumber.
He has no selfish aim to gain,
No future domination;
A lasting world-peace is his aim,
An end to devastation.
And when this ruthless war shall end
With all its tribulations,
He'll be the first to lend a hand
To aid the stricken nations.

as a preliminary to retiring she

necessary. Now Mrs. Seele's jaw has
been placed in bandages to keep her

USING AN AMERICAN WARINVENTION

Another American invention has been seized
upon abroad and turned to war use according to a
story going the rounds Of the mainland press The
Philadelphia Ledgers version of it is as follows:
1t has been established by the sinking Of the Brit
lsh steamship Gena, hich was torpedoed by Ger
man aeroplane. that Germany has appropriated the
idea of RearAdmira Bradley A. Fiskps torpedo-
carrying aeroplane and thus put into practical
operation another weapon of war invented by an
American but neglected in this country. according
10 statement by the Aero Club of America
Since 1t was announced by the British admiralty
that the Gena had been sunk by torpedo discharg-
ed from an aeroplane. officials of the Aero Club of
America have sought information in England about
the type OF flying machine used by the Germans for
this exploit The British magazine Flying which
arrived ,oday, brought pictures of German tor
pedo-carrying seaplane which showed that the mech
anlsm for dlscharging the torpedo was virtually
Identical with that patented by Rear-AdmiraI
Fiske.
Tests of the Fiske tOrpedoplan are now being
made at private expense, but with the approval of
the navy department. Rear-Admiral Fiske patented
his invention in July, 1912, two years before the
war started and all experiments with it which have
been conducted since that time have been at private
expense.
Henry Woodhouse, director of the Aero Club of
America, said that special torpedo, which meets
the conditions of ightness and efficiency needed for
aerial service, had been developed by Frank NJ.

pany, and would be discharged from one of the sea

WILL CARRY MAIL IN AiRPLANE
United States Government Has Closed
an Alaskan Contract with Flyer

Earl H. Byers, nephew of II. w By
ers, corporation counsel for Des
Moines, Ia, has one of the most I'M
usual contracts ever let by the United
States government.
He has agreed to carry mail by air
plane over a route in Alaska at a
compensation of 500 annually.
Byers will make two trips each
week between Nome and a camp 381
miles inland He will carry mail and
passengers, and his service will bring
the mining camp three weeks nearer
the outside world.
The country over which he will fly
is mountainous. There are no level
tracts on which to make a landing in
case his engine should stop. In winter
the snowfall is between 25 and 80 feet
deep. Even should Byers' airplane
make safe landing in the snow be-
tween terminals it would be impossi-
bic for the operator to get away
again.
All of these possible troubles were
considered by Byers before he took
the contract. On a trial trip he car
ried four passengers, the weight be-
ing 1000 pounds. He is using a Cur
tiss tractor, with various ideas in
aerial navigation worked out by him
self to meet conditions in Alaska.
