70 GERMAN DIVERS
CAUGHT IN A DAY

Washington, April ga member
OF the British war commission today
said twenty German submarines and
their crews were captured by the
British April 10. the day before the
party sailed.
They were not exactly captured
either" said the Englishman. They
had been searching for destroyed
base for days. and had been suffer-
ing for food and water and when our
boats picked them up many Of the
men were on the verge OF starvation.
The crews we're quite subdued and
gladly surrendered. England Is get
ting a lot more submarines than you
people In America have any idea OF.
The submarine commanders are hav-
ing a rough time of It. Their bases
are sought otu and destroyed almost
before they are established. The
British know OF certain bases. but
they let them alone until the sub
marines are gone. then destroy them
and leave the u boats in a hole"

food problems. II is all one great
question. AZ q recent allied confer
ence, the allied governments agreed
to pool their food supplies.
"while England Is not short OF
food; and probably could get along,
II she had only herself to consider.
aIl'Is not well with France and Italy.
Their food shortage N acute. II is
growing more So"
This attitude OF the British COM
mission puts the old allies and their
new recruit In complete accord on
the nst move In the great interna-
tional war conference. The trend. Of
all this governments actions ever
since and. In fact. weeks before war
was declared. has been TO stimulate
the growing OF food.
The British commission Is not I'm
mediately concerned over the sending
Of troops. Their man4power Is SUI.
iicIent for the moment: and the send
Ing OF great masses OF men TO Europe
now would make the food problem
critical and out OF all proportion to
the fighting strength gained.
No actual, definite steps will be
taken. however. on either the food or
troop situation until the French COM
mission arrives. II was announced.
The French commission is not
coming out OF mere courtesy. but to
take an active part In the confer
ences," Il was stated. Also" the
ofi,cial went on. ALLOW me to make
clear the status OF the British COM
mission. Secretary Balfour's word
is In every respect absolute. All the
experts with him are here merely to
answer questions directed to them
through Balfour.
Every question--military. naval.
commercial or otherwise---must fin-
ally be decided between President
Wilson and Secretary Balfour. The
discussions and conferences between
the other officials will be subsidiary.
AT brief meeting OF the British
commission today the, program for
each division was roughly mapped
out.
All we hope to do Is to have the
president and Balfour settle broad
questions OF principle, basing their
decisions on the sub-conferences and
their own decisions. then leave the
carrying out OF Americas settled part
In the war to various departments.
1T is not. I believe. Balfour's In
tentlon to broach any questions OF
International political policy. He
prepared to answer them should they
be asked. And he will speak for all
the allies.
THE allies do not desire to make
use OF this situation to hamper or
coerce the United States in any OF
It's international relations. All we
want TO do is help.
"As to the length Of the comnis-
sion's stay, that all depends on how
long Il Is needed. II may be days,
weeks or months. according to de-
velopments. Should II be asked, a
stan OF experts will be left In the
United States to cooperate with the
American government In carrying
out the plans made by the two chiefs.
"America's part In the war is now
being decided. Should an italian
and Russian commission visit
Washington later. II will be purely
as matter OF courtesy.
"The vital problems are now be-
fore us and the most vital OF all is
food"

MISSION TO U. S.
Especial Cable 70 Nippu Jiii)

TOXIC, Japan, July 20.-Viscount
X. Ishti, head Of the Japanese wal
commission TO the United States, was
rendered a farewell banquet by Wis
count l. Motoni, minister Of foreign
affairs, last evening at the Motoni OF
fetal residence Many prominent d.
plonats we're present.
Ishii Is being denounced by the
members Of the Kensaikai, the oppo'
sition party, because he accepted the
position as head Of the commission
under the Terauchi ministry. 4shll
was foreign minister under the Okuma
ministry and as consequence ne is
being made the target OF criticism
for accepting a position given him
by TerauchL
During the time that Okuma was
premier the Kensaikai were IN power
but according to Viscount lshn ne
was never a member OF this party
and said at the banquet that he re-
served the right to accept commls
sion under any regime.
''One Of the biggest problems con
fronting the two nations Is bringing
United States and Japan in close re-
lations, and political ambitions or r.
vaIry between parties should not ap,
pear in such a cause as this one,
said the head of the commission IN
his farewell address.

FORESTRY BOARD
IS TO CONSIDER
GRAzINGPERMITS
Plan to Utilize Unused Lands
For Pasture Presented BY
Food Commission

No specific action was taken by the
board of agriculture and forestry at a
meeting this morning on a letter from
the territorial food commission pro-
posing the issuance Of grazing per.
mits to persons wishing to raise cat
tie on unused pasture land in order
to increase the local beef supply.
The letter was placed on file and
probably will be considered at later
date. hTe board voted, however, to
Immediately consider any specific ap-
plications for grazing permits that
may be sent in. There was no dis
cussion on the suggestion that the is
land of Kahoolawe be turned into q
cattle range. c. s. Judd, executive Of
ficer, may visit the island in the near
future to make personal investiga-
ton.
A new regulation providing for the
protection of bird, animal and vegt.
able life on the small islands was pass
ed and will 60 to the governor for
his approval. Bruce Cartwright, Jr.,
volunteered to act as forst ranger
without pay to assist IN the enforce
ment Of the regulation, and was ap.
pointed.
The board repealed the regulation
mad Elm 1913 prohibiting the shipping
Of hogs from Oahu to the other is
lands. The regulation was made to
prevent the spread of hog cholera.
There have been no deaths from this
disease for more than a year.
