Delegation in Legislature Will
Fight Plan Endorsed BY
Civic Convention

Kauafs delegation in the coming
legislature will fight any plan for
territorial road appropriations, accord
ing to news from the Garden Island
this week
In particular the plan suggested at
and Endorsed by the Fifth Civic Con-
yention at Hilo last september is
marked for slaughter by the Garden
Island legislators who will be in Ho
nolulu next week for the twomonth
session.
At the civic convention l.. A. Thurs
ton presented pan for territorial
road construction In a report growing
out OF the convention on Maui In 1914
The plan was indorsed and is to be
submitted to the legislature.
The. convention in other ways went
on record as favofing roads in each
county paid for out OF territorial
funds, and the proposal was made
that scenic highways" on each island
should be thus constructed.
Kauais delegation in the civic con-
yention first opposed the territorial
road scheme, but after some eloquent
and at times heated debate. the Ka-
uai men appeared to withdraw their
objections and did not vote against
the final resolutions
Want Each County TO Handle
Own Problem
Now comes the story on good au-
thority that Kauai's legislators are
preparing to buck any scheme of
building roads, except possibly few
homestead roads. out of territorial
funds. They say that each county
should pay for its own roads, that
Kauai is handling its road problems
successfully, and others can do the
same. They add that it would be un.
fair to Kauai to take money from ter.
ritorial funds, needed for other pur
poses, to stand the expense of build
ing roads in Honolulu, or on Maui or
Hawaii.

under Gen. J. j. Pershing, Capt. John
r. Curry arrived here today on the
, u. S. transport Logan to take charge
OF the aviation camp which is to be
located at Fort Kamehameha

Brooks would accompany him but he
will not arrive until the March trans
port. Lieut.. Brooks was ordered to
remain at San Diego to'1earn to oper-
ate the new controls with which the
new machines to be sent here have
been equipped.
The first work to be done by Capt.
Curry towards locating an aviation
camp here is the erection Of hangers,
machine shops and other equipment
necessary to operate a flying squad
ron OF the size which has been or
dered here. The number of aero
planes TO be sent is Is. There will be

rive for several months, according to
Capt. Curry.
Must Wait Three Months
"The aeroplanes will not arrive for
at least three months" said Capt.
Curry. "As each machine costs in the
neighborhood of $4,000 1t would be
foolish to get them here until the
hangers are In readiness to house
them"
With Lieut.. Brooks on the March
transport will come about so men and
on each transport afterwards more Of.
ficers and men will be sent until the
full complement has arrived.
Border Conditions Bad
In speaking of his experiences with
Gen. Pershing in Mexico, Capt. Curry
said that the border Is about the
worst place on tne mainland to fly.
When asked I, anything was known
concerning the aif currents about
these islands he said that no expert
ments had been conducted by the gov
ernment but that he did not antici-
pate any difficulties.
The aeroplanes which are to be sent
here are all new types, which will
give Hawaii one of the most up-to-date
U. S. aviation camps In the United
States.

GERMANS MASS
Large Army ON

" COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Feb. 13.
During the past several weeks there
has been a large concentration of Ger
man troops along the Dutch border,
the growing presence of these troops
affording a measure of uneasiness
throughout Holland that is becoming
more apparent as the weeks go by.
At the present time this German
force has grown to the proportions of
five full divisions, and the presence
of this menacing army affords sat
isfaetory reason, in default Of any 9TH
er, for the decision Of the Netherlands
not to follow the lead Of the United

ASSOCIATED Press bv Federal WirelessI
WASHINGTON, o. C., Feb. g. -
That the Pacific coast needs a third
large naval base for the use Of sub
marine fleet 10 the Recommendation
Of the Helm commission, headed by
Rear-Admiral James NJ. Helm, in a
special report made public today
The commission holds that Mare
Island and Bremerton are not suffi-
cient to protect the great stretch of
Pacific coast and that Southern Cali
fornia will be insufficientIy guarded
without station south of San Fran
cisco. The commission therefore re-
commends the establishment Of SUBJ
marine training base in Los Angeles
harbor and submarine war operat-
ing base in San Diego harbor. .s..~
The commission has recently spent
several months examining various ma
val sites on the Pacific coast.
Since announcement few days ago
that the Helm commission recon-
mendeds the establishment of the
coasts largest naval base at Hunters
Point, San Francisco, advocates of
preparedness" have drawn attention
to the lack of defenses along the Sou
thern California coast, and Los Ange-
les in particular was emphatic N
claiming that the navy should look
after this section of the shore-line.
The proposed yard at Hunters Point
is to be made as large as those of
League Island, Philadelphia or Brook
lyn, N. Y. ~:=..... ..*s
The understanding at the Mare Isl
and yard is that Admiral Helms pre-
liminary report follows closely the re-
cent recommendation Of the general
board of the navy. in retaining the
Mare Island plant also. -
This means the expenditure of
about I,2,000,OO6 for equipment for
handling the heavy machine and en-
gine work at the Mare. Island yard.
This would add materially to the
equipment of the plant, and enable
Mare Island to do heavy work of a
class that now goes to the Bremerton
yard ON Puget Sound, in addition to
shipbuiiding and the handling of the
lighter vessels; ~ >....-..-..
