MANKATO SAILOR HELPED TO GIVE
AID TO JAPANESE QUAKE SUFFERERS
Hoy Hodson Relates Experiences In Land
Where Earth Cracked; Buildings Were
Split In Twain

Bread lines and soup places were
soon established and we distributed
all we had and went back for more.
The Americans Of course were very
grateful for all we did for them.
There were many, many Americans
killed and injured and their business
totally destroyed. Great skeletons OF
ruined structures and buildings faa :
len into one great heap of ruins.
Wide cracks were in the streets,
which had been partly filled up with
debris. Only part of Toxic was
destroyed. The Imperial gardens
were not hurt and were used for
the refugees. 1t was very sad to see
such beautiful country in ruins:
The beautiful gardens, lakes and
were such adopts in making. were
demolished and will take years to
replace them.
|. Previous to going to China and
Japan, Mr.. Hodson was In the
PHILIPPINES. "The people do not like
General Wood at all and are doing
all they can to get rid Of him." said
the sailor:
Personally / do not think they are
capable of self government. They
are a people who live, dream and
think too much Of romance. Pleasure
Is first In their lives. IL they were
given absolute independence, Japan
would go over in twenty four hours
and take them. They are not so much
value to us but America will be
better to them than any other coun :
try. If they could only realize 1t. J
think China Is the most powerful
country in the world. 1t only needs
a good leader. Yes, many of the
American boys marry PHILIPPINE Is
land girls, but the marriages do not
last. One Of the sailors on our ship
married a Filipino girl and was
pretty badly stuck on her and when
he returned she would not go with
him to America. He has tried since
to get her to come, but nothing do.
ing. She wont leave her "poi- POI"
1t has always been customary for
American sailors to marry Japanese
and Chinese girls occasionally. One
OF two boys on The Tracy married
Chinese girls. They marry them 70,
a period of six months and il they
like them they renew 1t for six
months again. You can get a pretty
Chinese girl for 100 mexs, or $50 in
them there later on. We had one
boy who married a Russian girl and
they came back on the same trans
port I did. There are some mighty
fine looking oriental women. but
there Is none equal to looks and
brains of the American.
While on the Chinese sea / had
one great experience, A typhoon
came up and lasted three days and
nights. We couldn't sleep, eat or
stand still We went to sleep on one
part OF the shin and a few min
utes we were picking ourselves up
on the other side. We tried lying
down fat on the floor. That lasted
about two seconds and we were then
transported up on the deck in an
other five seconds. Sick. yes eyerv
one was sick but the old salts. In
all, my three years was wonderful
experience. but now my time has ex-
nired and / am ready to settle down
to some kind OF business. Navy life
Is all right. it has its joys, pleasures
and hardships but three years is
apIenty."
