The combined naval military ma
neuvers around Hawaii far from
having been specially designed this
year on account of American -Ja-
panese tension over the immigration
issue Gas was alleged in Japan), are
the final phase in a "trilogy" of
operations begun in 1922. The first
phase took place at Panama in the
Winter of 1922-1923 and consisted of
two forms of attack on the canal,
with appropriate measures of defense.
In the second phase (held in the
Winter of 1923-192D, a defending
fleet was considered to have been
forced back under the protection of
the Panama Canal forts, and the at
tacking fleet subjected the forts to
battleship fire. These operations de-
veloped well defined weakness in
Panama Canal defenses, the chief of
which was that modern battleships
can fire on the forts with impunity
outside the forts range.
Problems Are same.
Phase No. 3, which constitutes the
maneuvers in Hawaiian waters this
Spring, involves the same general
problems of defense tackled in the
two preceding years. Specifically, the
task assigned the Army and Navy
is to repel an invading force bent
upon capturing Hawaii as the spring
board from which to launch an attack
on the Panama Canal and the con-
tinental United States. The primary
motive of this years operations is to
increase the efficiency of co-opera-
ton between the military and naval
forces of the Republic and improve
the efficiency of the fleet as a whole.
The military end of the maneuVers
will be supplied by the army FORCES

Canal Zone and the continental United
States. The joint Army-Navy ma
neuvers will last from April 9th to
the end of May, roundly 30 days.
The United States Government paid
no official heed to Japanese protests
against the Hawaiian maneuvers or
the trans-Pacifio cruise. Our position
was tersely stated by President Cool
idge in his December message to
Congress:
while We propose to maintain de-
fensive and supplementary police
forces by land and sea, and to train
them through inspections and ma
neuvers upon appropriate occasions
in order to maintain their efficiency,
wish every other nation to under
stand that this does not express any
unfriendliness or convey any hostile
intent"
Mr.. Coolidge's admonitions were di-
rected straight to and at Japan. He
might have supplemented them by
observing that America took no UNI
bragg at Japan's great naval ma
neuvers last Autumn, which, like our
own in Hawaii this year, were con-

NEW YORK, February Six
years ago Cammilia Fitzgerald and
Ann Mccormick shared a room at
Sacred Heart Academy, East Boston.
Yesterday, in court, they discovered
they had been sharing the same hus-
band for many months. But they still
are chums.
Cammilia met Francis Kelly in Bos-
ton and married him on November
%, 1923. They have one child. Ann
while visiting near Boston, met a man
who called himself Francis Landon.
Last September "Landon" came to
New York, married Ann, and they
went to live at her home in the
Bronx. Cammilia's husband had also
come to New York in September, and
shortly Safterward stopped sending
money. She came here and discovered
her husband had changed his name to
Landon, and was married again. And
then, in court, Cammilia found that
his new wife was her Old roommate.
Each girl testified that Kelly was
kind and considerate, and nobody
seemed to bear any one else i'll will.
Kelly pleaded guilty to bigamy.
Magistrate Marsh held him in $4,000
bail for the grand jury.
