Crashing Into Dock.

TOXIC, February 4-Ambassador
Tsuneo Matsudaira will not reach San
Francisco or Washington at the time
he was expected, owing to the Korea
Maru, on which he was expected to sail
on February 5. having butted her nose
into a. wall at the customs docks on
her arrival yesterday evening. The
crash ripped a. two-foot hole in the
side of the steamer, which will re-
Quire months to repair.
The authorities are unable to ex-
plain the accident. They say 1t Is
the most serious one of the kind
in Yokohama harbor. There was little
wind and no complications.
Possibly the Taiyo Maru may be
called in, to take the 400 passengers
who are waiting for the Korea Maru.

AMSTERDAM, February a. Has
the Netherlands government yield ed

vailng in the Scandinavian countries?
This question is asked by the
Dutch, who are greatly concerned
over the continual retrenchment in
military affairs. The Dutch military
problem is passing through a crisis,
as the citizens must choose between
a large and modern military force
which would be able to check the en-
emy at the frontier, or a small but
well trained army which could mere
ly enforce respect for Dutch neutral
ity and defend the heart Of the coun-

Monday Mayor Louis /. Valentine,
Town Councilmen Leslie Van Fossen,
George Landick, Barney Hammond
and Corporation Counsel Wilson L..
Townsend appeared before the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commission
and protested against the increase In
the water main and sewer benefit
charges, made by the commission for
the current year.
Considerable surprise has been ex-
pressed by property owners upon md
ing an increase in their water and
sewer assessment bills from 16 to 21
cents, as it has been generally under
stood there would be no increase above
the aSse Ssnlent made when the local
water and sewer system was installed.
The system was transferred to the
commission with this understanding.
The commission has explained that
the increase in the charges was made
necessary because of the laying of the
larger water mains and other improve
ments in the system. The general In
crease has been made throughout the
sanitary system.
A mass meeting of the citizens,
called by Mayor Valentine, was held in
the Masonic Hall Friday night, when

They're only interested in new fields

Incidentally Mr.. Kersting has done
a bit of discovering in Greenland,
Alaska and South America.
Most of them aren't so eager to
discover poles and things. That means
little in the long run. The real work

This year Old Faithful is erupting

last for about five minutes. In the
memory of living scientists this geyser
became active every so minutes, and
there is much speculation as to
changes beneath the earth's surface
which are slowing down this old

Many geysers in the basin of the
Fire Hole River, the greatest geyser
area in the world. have ceased shoot
ing entirely within the last so years,
while others which were formerly In
active are again shooting. Old Faith
