METAL SITUATION IN
JAPAN SUFFERS FROM
SCARCITY OF PRODUCT

The steel and general metal situa'
ton in Japan in relation to America
has been Taught with some diff
culties aside from the scarcity OF the
goods. These classes of merchandise,
prior to the war, had been purchased
by Japan, to a large extent, in Ger
many and England The sizes speci'
fled by Japan were slightly different
in lengths and diameters than that
supplied by the American mills. Japa,
nese buyers, however, found this stu
alton very hard to understand. The
Dill.Crosett, Inc, Of the Postal Telc-
graph Building, San Francisco, Cal 1,
have therefore undertaken to send to
Japan George F. Emanuels, to act in
an educational capacity. Mr.. Eman'
uels is one of the most competent
steel and metal men on the Pacific
coast, having been associated with
that industry for many years. 1t is the
intention of the Dill-Crosett, Inc,
through this medium, to help the Japa'
nese importers to understand the diff
ficulties, which they create largely
through having so little knowledge OF
American mills. This will not only be
of infinite benefit to the corporation
sending Mr.. Emanuels to Japan, but
will be of aid to all metal shippers
and mills in this country.
This same corpo-n+ion has also sent
to Japan C. R. Thomson, a highly
ucslifed man in the line of his tech
nical knowledge of heavy chemicals
and the American youthful aniline dye
industry.

Civic MEETING

" hat the general committee 0: the
CINi, cOulcntion wants just NO" more
than any other thing is something
definite in the way OF an estimate
from the other islands as to Low
many delegates from out Of town may
be expected
The general committee met this
morning in the rooms OF the Chamber
OF CommerCe. From the reports mad"
10 Raymond { Brown. chairman, l.!
the chaIrmen OF the various sub-com
mittees, il was evident that the con
struCtiOn OF a program and the organl.
zation OF a staff to carry the pro
gram through are we'll in hand
There will he 90 delegates from
Oahu As much to find out what IS
being done as TO preach what ought
to ne done. Mr. brown will leave neat
week on a tour Of Kauai, Maui and
Hawaii. A motion authorizing him 70
inc ur the necessary expenses was car
ried in committee this morning.
Thursday next he will be the guest
of the kauai Chamber OF Commerce
ano the following Tuesday OF the Maui
chamber. T.. z. CAGE, Chairman OF the
CohvcntiOns publicity committee, ar
rived in Hilo this morning for week
visit on private business TO the sugar
plantations, but he said before leaving
that he expects TO talk as much civic
convention while on the road as plan
tation equipment.
In addition to these two personal
missions, the general committee is
sending out post carGs every week TO
a mailing list OF so chosen names. Civ
ing useful and stimulating information
and between times is sending out spe-
cial letters on subjects that need to
be treated at greater length.
Visiting delegates will arrive here
Saturday, September IL, which is also
regatta day. Tuesday night the con-
Moana and an effort will be made to
induce the 1nter-lsland Steamship
Navigation company to postpone the
regular sailing hour Of the Kauai boat
that day until late in the evening. The
Maui and Hawaii delegates, it is pre-
sumed, will return by the regular Wed
nesday morning boat.
Special transportation rates are be-
ing quoted by the company, but the
committee on entertainment reported
yesterday that 1t wished to bring in
more positive and detailed informa'
ton before any announcement was
made for the hotels.
Several hotels have made conces-
sions but in cases where the managers
have quoted rates of, say 81 and up
ward, the committee, wants to know
how many 81 rooms are available. An
announcement theoretically open to
all but actually applicable to only
limited number might give ground for
just complaint on the score. Of misrep.
resentation.

LETTERS
DEFENDER OF LUCY

Editor Honolulu Star.Bulletin.
Sir | wish to state to the public the
views Of the enlisted personnel at
department hospital in regard TO Capt.
Ludy, medical corps.
He came to this hospital last Octo
Der, fresh from Gods country full
Of life and good cheer, and was as.
signed to our surgical convalescent
ward, where he worked hard from
morning till night, patching broken
bones and dressing poor injured bo-
dies; always with a there, there,
boy, sorry had to hurt you that time
but it was the only way. Never mind,
you'll be we'll and happy again in a
few days" Always with that fatherly
smile and gentle pat on the back that
inspires confidence in the most pessi-
nhistic patient.
Every one loved him. the patients
were never too sick to smile their
good morning" to him, and he, never
too tired or weary to relieve their
sufferings. And now comes this
daub of mud, this serious, but we
all sincerely trust and believe un-
founded, charge against him. That
the crime certainly has been commit
ted by someone, we fully realize, but
the question is, by whom?
Just because CAPT. Ludy happens TO
be a physician, does that brand him as
the guilty one? Most emphatically
not. And because he was a friend OF
Miss Berg, does that fact tend to point
to him as being in any way connec-
ted with the cause Of the poor girls
death? Again, no. There is, in fact,
from what we have been able to learn
Of the case, not thing which actually
points to DR.. Ludy as being in any
way connected with the crime.
Why then is public opinion so
against him? The majority OF the
public here know absolutely nothing
about him yet they are all too ready
to jump on him and to drag his good
name through the mire. Why? Here
is the reason: Merely because the
public press has dragged in his name
and prejudiced the case. We who
know the captain, and have served
under. him ever since he has been
stationed on the island, greatly re-
spect him. Not only as an officer
OF the United States Army, but as
a thoroughly honorable gentleman
with real human heart. And it will
take a great deal to convince us that
he is in any way connected with the
crime attributed to him.

Smith held the position OF chairman

The man in that position should

Interfere with their work.
aNot only should this city engineer
he a trained man, but he should be
an executive and man who can
handle the money involved. The po'
sition Is such that these qualifications
are absolutely necessary" stated Mr..
Peck.
3. d. Tenney, president of the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters association,
looks for a local man to fill the posi-
lion of city and county engineer. al
though he emphasizes the fact that the
best man who can be obtained must
be found. In discussing the possibility
of bringing a man here, Mr.. Tenney
said:
81 don't think that We could bring
a man here for the salary that Is OF.
fered. Especially an experienced
man. We might be able to get
