THE LONGEST CRUISE FOR
BIG SHIPS ON RECORD

Honolulu, T. H.. July 10.-Squadron
No. of the Atlantic battleship fleet,
with Vice Admiral Hilary P. Jones
commanding and carrying upwards of
1900 Annapolis midshipmen, which
arrived here recently for an eight
day visit broke the record for the
longest continuous cruise for battle
ships in the history of the United
States navy, according to officers of
the fleet.
The leg of the trip from Panama to
Honolulu, 1865 miles, is said to be the
longest nonstop voyage for battle
ships in the nayy's annals. Engine
room records showed that an average
speed of liz knots was maintained,
as against the 10-knot average speed
when the Connecticut. flagship Of the
squadron, led the Atlantic feet around
the world in 1908.
During their long voyage the mid
shipmen worked as regular sailors.
They swabbed decks, shoyeled coal
and did everything that falls to the
lot of the enlisted men. While IN
Honolulu, officers and men of the
fleet, midshipmen and reservists were
guests of honor at numerous enter
tainments from the admiral's ball
down to the private swimming party
at Waikiki.

JAPAN WORRIED OVER
THE FOOD SITUATION

Toxic, July 12.-The gravity of the
food question in Europe finds its echo
in Japan. where the problem of how
to feed the population. which is in
creasing annually by 100000. is be-
coming yearly more pressing.
Japan has ample living space fer
its people but cannot produce enough
food for them, especially rice. Every
bit of land is cultivated to the limit
of its capacity. The land of Formosa,
the island colony, is worked to its full
capacity by the two million Chinese
farmers who cultivate the rice fields
with great skill. In Korea. also, the
grain harvest is considerable. though
the failure of the Koreans to use
fertilizer prevents greater harvests.
To meet the food menace Japan, by
a special arrangement with France,
is making heavy rice imports from
Indo-China. This is costly opera
ton, however, the Japanese govern
ment losing $20.O00,000 last year in
supplying Indo-C China rice to the Jap
anese people at a moderate price.
A solution to which the government
is turning its attention is that of in
ducing the people to eat less rice and
more wheat because of the great
wheat fields of Manchuria which
would be ample as a food supply, il
the people would eat wheat. The en-.
ormous output of Manchuria is
handled by the South Manchuria rail.

SHIPPING BOARD
AN EASY VICTIM

Buenos Aires, July 2.-The United
States Shipping Board has been de-
frauded of many thousands of dollars
through practices which amount to
systematic fleeing" of shipping
board vessels in the River Plate
trade, according to reports to the
board by Captain G. L. Garden, spec
ial representative of the shipping
board emergency feet in Buenos
Aires.
Captain Garden, accompanied by
Captain of Engineers L. G. Farwell,
arrived here month ago to take
charge and protect the boards inter-
ests. "When / arrived here" he said
to the Associated Press correspon-
dent, "ship chambers, repairmen end
others connected with the shipping
industry seemed to be in general
agreement to mulct the shipping
board vessels to the limit.

it felt that there must be something

prices, for instance, as 50 pound fol

'It seems that the practice was

the steamship agents. and promptl!

money, for every conceivable item a

of fearlessly criticising the men who
are running the government.
In an interview Okuma said the
reason for sending a japanese army
to Siberia does not seem to be clearly
understood by the majority of the
people. He added:
'The object of the Chino-Japanese
war and the Russo-Japanese war as
well as the war with Germany were
clearly understood by the nation, wht
worked to attain the ultimate goa
with full and unanimous accord. As

Everybody tries to duck out of his
way when they see him coming. But
more often than not they don't see
him coming until it is too late. That
this is so usually is their own fault.
Everybody is bound to meet old Mister
Trouble sooner or later. II you never
have met him you surely will. Very
likely he'll take you by surprise. He
likes to do that He does it every
chance he gets. But when he does get
you you may be sure that he'll do you
ope great favor-he'll show you just
who your true friends are, and, some
times, it is worth meeting him just
to find that out.

On The Screen
Nazimova, in THE Heart of a
Child" Features Bill at
the Capitol

The Metro presentation of Nazimova
in "The Heart of Child" at the Capt.
toll this week gives that one-time
mystical little artist an opportunity to
show that she is considerably more in
teresting than the picture itself. The
picture, which is mixture Of sudden
situations, interspersed with pathos,
quick little bursts of wit and clever
ness, but more impossibilities than any
of these, starts off interesting and ends
flat-happily though, of course, for
Sally Shape, who is Nine. Nazimova.
"The Heart of Child" is from a
novel by Frank Dandy and the scenario
is by Charles Bryant. Just which one
does the other credit in his respective
part of giving Nazimova a vehicle-for
that is what it amounts to-is more
easily seen than explained. One can
imagine that the novel carried some
striking action. The picture does too,
but everything, including the climax,
s too sudden, except maybe, Sally's
alley rat version of the sinuous dance
called "hoochi-koochi." The latter is
prolonged until the spectator comes 10
