JAPAN STRAINS
EVERY EFFORT
TO GET SHIPS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 9-Japan
is resorting to desperate measures to
keep up it's gigantic shipbuilding
operations, according to Capt. Robert
Dollar, president of the Robert Dollar
Co., who returned yesterday from
five-months' absence in the Orient.
THE supply of steel in the ship
yards is getting very small on account
of the embargo on steel expectation
by this country" said Captain Dollar.
In order to meet the situation, jap
anese builders have purchased every
bit of steel to be found in China and
other countries near Japan. But that
supply is limited, too. The owners
are so clamorous for the completion
of their vessels that they consent to
the shipbuilders piecing in with odd
shapes of steel when regular ship
plates are not to be had.
Everywhere you go Japanese yes
sells are loading or unloading rich car
goes. The owners of ships can hardly
wait for the craft to be turned over
to them from the yards in order that
they may share more in the immense
profits being made from high freight
rates in all parts of the world"
Captain Dollar said he was not sure
it was a wise thing for the United
States government to fix the maxi
mum for freight rates on the ocean,
as the foreign vessel having its rates
kept down might never return to our
shores and shortage of tonnage might
result.
Some of the former German steam
ships seized by the United States at
Manila are bringing cargoes to this
mort for the Dollar company.

TRIO HARKEN TO
CALL OF BLOOD
Especial Star Bulletin Con espondencs.)

HILO, Sept. 20.-Scores of friends
and we'll wishers watched the depar-
ture of the steamer Mauna Kea last
Monday afternoon from the Kuhio
wharf, for it was carrying away for
perhaps the last time three young
men who have answered the Call
of the Blood" They were Thomas
Straithairn, Thomas Stewart and +.
b. Herkes, all of whom have close
family connections and many friends
on the Big Island, who left to join the
second British contingent of recruits
in Honolulu.
Straithairn, although a comparative
newcomer to Hawaii, has gained,
through his fine personality and good
nature, many friends. For a time he
was the chief clerk on the Mauna
Kea, but was recently promoted to the
position of purser. Now that he is
on the road to success, after years
OF hard work ami effort in other lines
of endeavor, he has willingly thrown
up everything to proceed to Canada
and join the British forces, to do
whatever is asked of him.
Thomas Stewart is the son of Don.
aid Stewart of the Waiakea plenta'
ton and comes of long line of fight
ing Stewards" The famous Black
Watch has had many of the clan, in.
Guiding Donald Stewart himself. The
son who now goes to the front is the
second boy offered by Mr.. and Mrs.
Stewart.
E. b. Herkes is nephew of Harry
Beverage Of Papaikou and is from
Nova Scotia. He has given up his
position as engineer of the Hutchin.
son Sugar company to answer the
Call of the Blood" He is to go to
mis- home country, where he will join
a Nova Scotia regiment. 1t is of
peculiar interest that all the men
who have gone to the front from that
tountry are natives. To join tnr
Nova Scotia regiments many OF
these men have travelled thousands
of miles so as to be with their own
native COuntrymen.
