MANY PRO- GERMANS

REPORT OF DIPLOMAT

First hand information of conditions
in Brazil, especially pertaining to the
German situation, we're obtained from
r. Hata, japanese ambassador To
Brazil, who spent a few days in Homo
lulu on his way home from San Fran
cisco to Japan for a vacation.
The japanese diplomat, who has
held the Brazil post for a number of
years, is thoroughly familiar with con-
ditions in the South American repub-
lie. He admits that strong pro-Ger-
man sentiment prevails among a large
element but asserts that the majority
Of Brazilians are strictly pro-Ally and
American through and through.
There is large German representa-
ton in Brazil, according to the am
bassador, and the pro-German feeling
has been naturally engendered by ex.
tensive colonization by the German
government He also states that Ger
man newspapersgin Brazil have done
their share to lead the thoughts Of the
people IN the way Of the FathefIand.

GUARD REDUCTION
EXPECTED TO hELP
HAWARS MILITIA
Army and N. 6. H. Officers
Meet in Conference Over
Yesterdays Order

Army and National Guard officers
met this morning in the office OF
Brig. Gen. Frederick S. Strong to give
detailed consideration to the war de-
partment order received yesterday au-
thorizing the cutting down Of Ha-
walls guard from four regiments to
two, as was announced in the late
edition Of the Star-Bulletin.
Among those at the conference
with Gen. Strong were Maj. Charles
S. Lincoln, in charge Of Hawaiian NIL
iitia affairs; Lieut. Col. R. C. Croxton,
senior inspector-instructor Of the LIST
Infantry; Brig. Gen. Samuel l. John
son, the adjutant general Of the ter
rttory; and Maj. l. w. Redington, as
sistant to the territorial adjutant.
Men closely in touch with guard
matters expressed the belief today
that the order, which leaves one in
fantry regiment on Oahu, but reduces
the guard infantry strength on Maui,
Hawaii and Kauai to one battalion OF
four companies each, were Of the
opinion that instead Of hurting the
guard the order will place it upon
practical footing that will stand for
efficiency.
By the national defense act the
guard must be put upon war footing
within a short time. The first step
raising each company from IS men to
81 goes into effect on July l. Later
steps will raise them still higher.
A complete regiment consists Of Il
companies and a machine
gun company, supply company and
headquarters company as we'll, giving
q total enlisted strength Of 1920, with
81 officers. Four infantry companies
on each of the other islands will mean
600 men to a battalion when the full
strength iG reached.

What the new pay will total each

EXPECT To CLOSE
CASE.OF ROENITl
Attorney Peters Says Defend.
ant Will Not Take Stand
in Own Defense

1t was expected that a conclusion
Of the case Of George Roenitz, charg
ed with espionage, would be reached
this afternoon before U. S. Commits
sfoner George s. Curry Further
hearing of the case was to begin at
o'clock and the defense, announced
/ that II has" but one more witness to
examine before closing its case. ~,
Attorney e. C. Peters, counsel for
Roenitz, further announced that he
would not put Roenitz on the witness
stand in his own defense. What Is
the use?" he asked Star-Bulletin
reporter at the conclusion OF the
hearing this morning.
Several witnesses were called to
testify for the defense during the
hearing this morning, the testimony
relating largely to the taking Of pho
tOgraphs at Pearl Harbor, and the
source of authority for taking them.
Pvt. Melvin Olson, marine corps,
testified he recognized at least three
Of the four postcard photos Of Pearl
Harbor, found in Roenitz' possession,
adding that copies had been offered
for sale at the post.
Hears Only Recently
Lieut., B. F. TIlley, u s. NJ, aide to
Capt. George R. Clark, said that be-
fore any photo Is taken of a group
Of officers at the harbor, the photo
grapher must secure permission from
the commandant. Regarding the four
photos found among Roenitz' belong.
ing, Tilley said he knew nothing of
them. He added he had heard only
lately that certain enlisted men were
taking and selling photos at the
harbor. =
The witness went on to say that
he became Informed of Roehitz' al
legged activities about February 1, this
year. The information, he said, cana
through official channels.
Attorney Peters said he would at.
tempt to show that certain private
papers, while in filing desk at the
harbor. became confused with per-
sonal papers belonging to Roenitz,
and in that manner came into his pos
session when he left the station.
More Difficult to Photograph
Lieut.. Tilley said he had one piano.
rama picture of the harbor, but that
the one in evidence had no connec-
ton with it. Before any pictures are
to be taken, he said, permission must
be obtained from the senior officer
present, and that two extra copies
must be furnished the station. Hell
added, however, that at present It'll
would be difficult for any one to get
inside the harbor with a camera, let
alone obtaining permission to take
pictures.
