HONOLULU, June 5.--The extent
to which the admittedly Inadequate
facilities of the Pearl Harbor navy
yard have been overworked during
the fleets visit to Hawaiian waters
was revealed yesterday In a state
ment by Capt. r. NJ. Griswold, aide
on the staff of Admiral Robert E.
Coontz, showing that 1t had been
necessary to send 16 units to the
yard incident to the maneuvers.
1t was pointed out that the neces-
sary repairs were merely routine
such as might arise every day. but
that in case of an actual combat in
the Pacific the matter of repairing a
larger number of vessels damaged in
warfare would present a serious
problem unless Pearl Harbor Is i'm
proved and made larger in accord
ance with recommendations which
have been made.
THE maneuvers which have been
held in Hawaiian waters were pre-
ceded by an intensive effort of all
force commanders to have all the
vessels completely ready for long
service in water distant from the
navy yards of continental United
States" Griswold said. "Neverthe-
less, there developed a necessity to
following vessels: Destroyers Balm
bridge, Childs, Decatur, Lawrence,
Mccormick and LaVallette; the bat
tleship Nevada, oil tanker Guyana,
light cruisers Marblehead. Raleigh,
Richmond and Trenton. tender Mel
Vile and submarines S-23, S-25 and
S27.
"It should be held clearly In mind
that the maneuvers, while Stimulating
to a certain extent as in the case of
grand fleet maneuvers, conditions of
actual warfare, were not accompan.
led by that degree of hard service

JAPANESE SCHOOLS
GET ARMS COURSE.
Plan to Insure Perfect Ma
tionaI Defense by In
structing Youth.
Confirmation of the report that

Confirmation of the report that
Japan has adopted a system of mill
tary training in the schools for pur-
poses of national defense, somewhat
similar to that followed in the United
States, is contained in a report just
received at the War Department from
the United States military attache at
Toxic He gives a copy of the in
structions issued recently by the
japanese minister of war to the army
officers charged with the training of
youths at schools.
1.-The object of the present arrange.
ment," says the Japanese war minis
ter, 'is to invigorate military-style
drill. training perfectly the mind and
body of the student, and especially
fostering various virtues, as disci-
pline, regularity, the esprit de corps
and perseverance, and further insur-
ing the increase of the capacity for
national defense. Grave is therefore
the responsibility Of the officers as
signed to civil schools. In recent
times, the general custom of the
people is apt to run into frivolity- In
order to tighten the popular minds
thus relaxed, to strengthen more than
ever the foundation on which the
state stands, and to insure perfect
hess in the national defense, 1t is i'm
perative to train both mind and body
of the rising generation and improve
their qualities.
Taken as First Step.
Tn consequence, the government,
after careful study and mature con-
sideration, has formed the plan as the
first step in the training Of youths
and boys that officers in active serv-
Ice should be assigned first to middle
and higher schools and charged with
the task of improving their training.
These assignments of the officers will
be found to be the best opportunity
for observing the sentiment of the
community in general, the direction
OF popular sentiment and the like,
which we must know thoroughly in
the training of troops. Care should,
therefore. be taken to- make the best
use of the opportunity.
THE present undertaking marks a
great, new epoch in our country's s
history of education. The execution
of new enterprise IS always a great
difficulty. The assigned officers must,
therefore, devote all their energies to
the accomplishment of this great
work, surmounting any difficulty what
ever and engaging in their duty with
zeal and true-heartedness."

ALASKAN DECLARES THAT LITERATURE OF TERRITORY
 IS NOT DISTINCTIVE

JUNEAU,-Although Alaska is a ''storehouse of inspiration for distinctive literature" there is a |demand for writers to "accurately portray the beauty of Alaska and give the world a true picture of the territory, according to R. E. Robertson, a member of the Parent Teacher Association here.
 'I little doubt that if all the government reports and surveys by various companies written on AL aska were dumped down on Alas kan soil it would cover her 59O,O00 square miles so deep that Mt. Mo. Kinley, the highest peak on the North American continent, would be covered" said MT. Robertson. And, despite all that has been written about the territory, there is nothing really distinctive about Alaskan literature
 MT. Robertson declared certain poems and novels classed as Alas kan were not strictly distinctive.

Fish Trap Law

The bill covering fish trap opera tions introduced by Paul, seeks to control them by a new license sys- tenn. Section two provides a levy on various varieties of salmon caught in traps as follows:
 For each humpback, one cent; each keta, chum and dog two cents; for each cohoe, two and one half cents; for each red salmon or sockeye, five cents; for each king salmon, ten cents.
 Section one of the proposed law requires a license to be issued by the Territorial Treasurer before any kind of fish trap can be in- stalled, and provides a penalty of $500 per day for each day a trap is maintained without such license. It also carries an imprisonment penalty of 90 days.
 Provision is made for operators of traps to keep permanent records from which weekly reports are re- quired to be made to the Territorial Treasurer.

The Legislature

Smashing of the bars erected by former legislatures against Indians receiving allotments from the terri torial old age allowance fund is at tempted by House Bill No. 23, in- troduced by Paul, leader Of the h. dian organization in Southeastern Alaska. The present law contains a section saying that Indians are not considered residents as used in the terms of the act and repeal of this section is demanded in the Paul bill, which also provides for reducing the maximum allotments from s25 to s45, respectively, for men and women, to s20 and S35.
 Paul also introduced a bill pro- hibiting the payment of territorial funds to members of the legislature during their terms of office. He also introduced the probate code prepared by Attorney General Rust gard two years ago.
 Nyeln introduced bill to define and punish embezzlsment.
 A deficiency appropriation bill carrying $2,000 for schools was in- troduced by the ways and means committee.
 A bill to regulate fish traps by means of taxation, introduced in the House, and one in the Senate prohibiting the employment of a Territorial road engineer until the Federal Highway Act is extended to Alaska, were among the more important measures presented in the Territorial Legislature Tuesday. Five measures in all were intro duced, three in the Senate and two in the House.
 The other bills included an amendment to Section 1,105 Con- piled Laws of Alaska relative to property exempt from execution, amendments to the Territorial law of 1923 creating Territorial Board of Accountancy and bill to authorize cities of the first class to establish and build streets, sewers and public improvements, to levy and collect special assessments to to pay for same on property bene- fitted thereby.

ITALY SEEKS LENIENCY.
Is Entitled TO Fair Treatment. Tittou'
and Mussolinf Say,

ROME, May IS R).-Italy is en-
titled to have 1enient treatment in the
settlement of her war debts. Tomaso
Tittoni, president of tho Senate and ex-
foreign minister. declared yesterday In
a speech at Niterbo. The occasion was
the unwilling of monument to me"
killed in the World War. The speech
was made in the presence of the King,
several members of the cabinet and
Senators and Deputies.
Signor Tittoni pointed out that Aus
tria owes Italy heavy debts for war
reparatiOns and expenses of oCcupa-
ton, but that Italy has received no
payments whatever. He quoted state
ments of some Englishmen and Ameri-
cans to the effect that the cancellation
of interallied debts would be chiefly ad-
yantageous to England and America
themselves, because ii would accel-
crate Europe's purchasing power and
increase England's and Americas ex-
ports.
He declared that Italy has every
confidence in the feelings of justice
and equity which inspired her cred
itors. A message was read from Pre-
mier Mussolini expressing agreement
with Tittoni's views.
Signor Tittoni said Italy has not
only received no payments from Aus
tria, but has contributed a consider
able sum to Austrian relief funds. He
declared that Italy has been debited

The offensive has been postponed to
