CLOSE WATCH IS
KEPT ON 5000
JAVA GERMANS
Batavia Newspaperman De-
cIareS They Are Behaving
Since First Efforts Failed

There are more than 1900 Germans
living in Java al the present time
and although ClOse watch Is hepl
" them TO prevent their inCitiug the
natives to make trouble, they are al
lowed to conduct their business with,
out restraint, according to J. W. n
van Werneskerken Of Batavia, who
has for four years been the Dutch East
Indies correspondent for the Amster
dam TELEGRAPH
Van Wermeskerken says that about
a year ago number OF Germans
were caught addressing meetings Of
natives, evidently with the idea OF
starting ar u0rising. The meetings
we're broken up and a close watch
las since been kept to prevent them
stirring up any more trouble.
The Dutch journalist is travelling 10
the United States aboard a Dutch
liner from the Orient. He will live
in the states for a year and will con-
time his correspondence for the Tele-
graaf. He is accompanied by his wife
and child.
We are IN good terms with the
Japanese" said Van Wermeskerken,
land stories that we fear their aggres
sion are exaggerated, We want bet
ter navy for the Dutch East Indies to
protect US against a possible enemy,
not any that exists today.
The famous American filibustering
steamer Maverick, which carried a
cargo of munitions supposedly to fur
nish natives in India with arms for
an uprising against the British gov
eminent, and which was overhauled
by a Dutch cruiser and taken into
Batavia, was still there when the
Dutch journalist left. He says the re
port in Batavia is that the steamer
has been sold lately to an English or
an American firm. Now that the
United States is in the war the black
list formerly imposed on the Maverick
by the British admiralty is believed
to have been lifted.

BOAT CLUBS At
MEETINGPLAN
FOR new Event
intermediate Race Will Be
Added to Regatta; Senior
Course to Be Heightened

At a meeting OF the Hawaiian Row
ing Association last evening at the
Star-Bulletin office, the members de-
cided that an intermediate race would
be added to the list Of events which
have been featured in past rSSattas,
Following the suggestion made by
Bob Chillingworth Of the MyrtIes, the
old course was adopted for the senior
race Chillingworth said that this
race was the feature event, and should
be given a real test. He further add
ed that If the freshmen oarsmen were
able to beat the seniors, then 1t was
up to the clubs to place them in the
senior boat.
Last year the freshmen made better
time over the course than the seniors,
but a real line cannot be obtained on
this, as weather conditions are not al
ways the same at the time Of the two
events. Senior, Junior, intermediate
and freshmen races will be staged.
Freshmen would cease to be freshmen
once they had rowed intermediate.
juniors or seniors would be allowed
to row intermediate, but not on the
same day.
Following out a suggestion made
from Hilo, the members decided not
to count points for places, and they
will not award a cup for the points
scored Instead q cup will be given
to the winner Of each race, together
with medals. The intermediate crew
will receive a cup, but the members
VIII not receive medals. A. B. Knoll,
George Crozier and Bill Lyle compose
the regatta committee which will ar
range the program. It is expected that
the girls race will be a big feature
of the REGATTA again this year.
