Australian Plants
and Hawaiii's Alike

SYDNEY, N s. w, Sept. 10.-(As-
ISOLATED Press Mail.)-The remark
able similarity between the plant life
Of Australia and that of the Hawaiian
Islands indicates that the two must
have been at m time "a great deal
nearer than they are now" according
to a statement by Professor ID. II.
Campbell of Leland Stanford Jr. Uni
versity, California, who is here on a
visit.
DR.. Campbell said that he had been
surprised at the similarity, especially
that between the acacia of Hawaii and
the waffle here. He said he accepted
the similarity as an indication that
there must have been larger land for
nations in the Pacific, for America,
much nearer the Hawaiian group, has
non of these ~similarities.
= Hawaii undoubtedly must have
been nearer to Australia at one time"
he said. but by earth disturbances
at distant periods in the past, areas
intervening have been swept away"
He also noticed a similarity be-
tween the animals of Hawaii and Aus
tralia and intends during his visit
here to prosecute Investigations in
North Queensland and Western Aus
tralia.

Geological Survey of
Australia Necessary

SYDNEY, N. S. W, Sept. 12.-(As-
ISOLATED Press Mail.)-A comprehen-
sive survey under federal government
direction of all country bordering
ed north-south railway traversing the
entire continent of Australia is con-
sidered practically certain as the re-
suit of the report of Professor Sir
Edgeworth David, of Antarctic fame,
on a hasty investigation of certain
geological formation in remote parts
of Central Australia.
On his return to Sydney, Sir Edge
worth said he was deeply impressed
with the vast artesian water, mineral
and possibly oil awaiting
development. incidentally. he said,
his party discovered evidences Of
glacial activities near Yellow, creek,
now an extremely torrid locality, that
were insufficiently described by the
word, "stupendous." He said these
signs would make the district the
scene of great geological surveys.
Nothing so remarkable in the way of
glacial action had been found in the
antarctic on the trip of himself and
his colleague, Sir Douglas Mawson,
he said.
Sir Edgeworth urged the Austria
lasian Science association to negotiate
with the federal government TO un-
dertake a comprehensive geological
survey of the region through which
the north-south railway probably will
pass. A federal committee is taking
evidence from settlers regarding this
project. The emphasize the value OF
such a survey. Sir Edgeworth cited
the federal geological survey of the
United States which, he said, had
been performing work of great value
| for the past fifty years, not only in
| c~oordinating the work of the various
| state geological surveys, but in TAX
ing up such matters of general scien-
| tifc and economic Importance as the
| structure and origin of artesian water
| basins the great oil fields and the
| copper, iron and other metal ore de
| post of North America.

Limitation Of Naval
Programs Japan's Idea

TOXIC, Sept. 9.-(By the Associ-
ated Press.)-Japan's naval experts
wish to insist upon a positive limita-
ton principle at the Washington con
ference, according to the press, and
they plan TO announce Japan's willing
ness to reduce the present EIGHT
eight capital ship program to one of
eight battleships and six battle
cruisers. This is described as the
minimum limit of safety of the en-
pire and would be advanced as the
japanese standard provided the Unit
ed States and Great Britain made
similar reductions.
According TO the Asahi. the Japan
csc naval delegates will insist on the
abandonment of all Notifications on
all Pacific islands and at the same
time will propose that the United
States suspend her present naval eX-
tension program, spread over the next
three years. The reason for this sug-
gestion is that, should the United
States carry through the present con
struction program and Great Britain
likewise insist on the construction of
the four new ~battleships recently an
nounced for the replacement of super
animated craft, Japan will not only
find it difficult to abandon the con
struction of the eight-eight squadron
but the sentiments of the Japanese
nation will be aroused to greater con
struction needs through these bigger
navies of the other powers.
If things come to such a pass, there
will be no hope of realizing the arm
ament limitation so warmly advocated
by the powers, and the scheme may
eventually dwindle away into a mere
dream, the principal object of the con
ference thus becoming nothing. From
this viewpoint, the Asahi insists the
Japanese navy is going to suggest to
the United States the abandonment
of her Notifications on her islands in
the Pacific, which are regarded as a
threat to this empire, and at the same
time will urge the suspension of the
American three-year program as an
equivalent to the abandonment by
Japan of the eight-eight squadron pro-
gram.

Premier Hara Seems
to Be Gaining New
Strength in Japan
ASSOCIATED f

TOXIC, Sept. 11-Takashi Hara,
Japanese prime minister, far from be-
ing overthrow by his political OPP
ponents, seems every week to be get
ting a stronger grip upon the Empire
and now stands forth as a powerful
dominating figure.
Hara, the imperturabable, some one
has styled him. His smooth shaver
smiling face seems crowned too young
with a couture of pure white hair. He
never loses his calm even when others
of his official family depart for a mo-
ment from traditional oriental i'm
~passiveness when some such event as,
for example the American suggestion
to discuss far eastern policies comes
Unexpectedly and perhaps undesired.
At the cabinet councils he is said
to impose his will like a Napoleon and
like Napoleon, he sleeps only five
hours daily. 1t is a common opinion
among Japanese that he is the man
who decides almost all important is
sues coming before the cabinet, other
ministers merely serving as his secre-
taries, SO autocratic is he in handling
the government affairs because OF his
indomitable will power and his politi-
cal sagacity and ~cleverness. There is
a saying that to understand Japan's
foreign and domestic policies, one
needs to understand Hara's character.
But Mr.. Hara is not a personality

keeps his plans to himself and very
few of his ministers or close associ.
ates know anything about his intend
ed move until the last moment. 1t
is believed that it was Mr.. Hara and
not the home minister who recon-
mend that drastic steps be taken to
handle the labor situation in Kobe
when the issue was brought up for a
final decision of the cabinet, and his
word became law, whether good or
bad.
Reporters find Mr.. Hara a hard man
to interview. He is gracious enough
but his flashes of humor disturb them.
Some of them tried to get him to talk
about the Washington conference the
other day. He spared for a while
and then said: "Now let's stop talk.

Silk Testing House Is
Established in Shanghai

SHANGHAI, China, Sept. 12.-(By
the Associated Press.) A testing
house, the first in China to give u
thoritative reports and six standards
of silk shipments is being establish
ed here by d. f. Douty of New York,
representing the United States Test
ing company, an organization controll-
ed by general silk interests. The es-
Establishment is the direct result of a
visit to Shanghai last year by an Am
erican silk commission.
1t is announced that the testing
house is being established with the
c%oopeation of the Seam Silk Filiature
and Cocoon Merchants Guild of
Szechuen. Chekiang and Anhwei pro-
vinces. The funds for the equipment
and maintenance of the place have
been raised by subscription to the
stock of the company be members
of Chinese silk organizations and of
the silk Association of America. The
Shanghai testing house is to have the
same position in the testing COM
pany's organization as any of the 9th
er testing houses it operates. 1t is
hoped that the testing house may be-
come self-supporting after a short
period.

Airplane Flights
VIII Be Stopped in China

SHANGHAI, Sept. :3.-(Associated
Press Mail.)-The Peking govern
ment is taking steps to forbid any
flights by privately owned airplanes
over Chinese territory adjacent to the
foreign settlements of Shanghai. it
has been indicated in inquiries re-
ceived here in Chinese official circles.
Frequent flights were made over
Shanghai and it's environs through the
summer by Major w. r. McBain, who
served during the war in the British
flying corps. f. E. Fressen, another
British airman, also made several
flights.

MARINE WORKERS
PREPARE FOR STRIKE
Sealed Orders Ready Should
To-morrow's Conference
Fail Of Agreement.
ENGINEERS ARE FIRM
Insist Wages Must Not Fall
Below Scale Set for Deck
Officers.

The possibility Of the marine engi-
neers and others OF the crews OF vessels
operated by the American Steamship
Owners Association going on strike May
I depends largely on the outcome OF a
conference tomorrow between officers
OF the association and OF the Marine
Engineers Beneficial Association Of
ficers Of the latter announced yesterday
that unless an agreement is reached,
sealed orders which were prepared fol-
lowing a weeks consultation OF the gen.
eral council will be promulgated ITO en-
force tho existing wage scale"
An official of the engineers associa-
tion declared there would be difficulty
In obtaining even non-union men to run
American vessels in case the contem-
plated reduction goes through. as the
new scale would make the below decks
officers wages from $50 to 500 a month
lower than the deck officers--sonething
to which the engineers say they never
would agree. as their wages have al
ways been on a par with the deck men.
Regarding another point Of contention
Winthrop l.. Marvin, vice-president and
general manager Of the owners associa-
American shipowners are in absolute
agreement with Admiral William 8. Ben
son, chairman OF the Shipping Board,
that the sea service bureau Of the board
must not be abolished. as demanded by
the International Seamen's Union. This
bureau was established when we entered
the war to create a force of American
seafaring men who could be depended
upon for faithful service When this
training was abandoned after the war
the bureau became an agency for plac-
Ing men on ships. 1t has always been a
distinctly governmental organization. It
does not discriminate against union men,
but offers its facilities to all men. The
seamen's unions, though they claim
considerable American enrolment. are
as a matter OF fact furnishing relatively
few American citizens to American ves-
sells at the present time
