Askovites were quite well split on
the Fourth. A number followed the
Little German Band to Isle where
they performed throughout the day,
while another group spent the day
at Moose Lake. Still there was a
good sized crowd left to spend the
day in the village park where the
celebration was under auspices of
the Young Peoples society.
Ernest Baughman, from the Ex-
tension Division, University of Min
nesota, was the speaker of the day;
he delivered message that was ac-
corded the close attention it deserved
as it was good sound advice from
start to finish. The married men
got the most scores in the kittenball
game and the lunch and refreshment
stands did an excellent business as it
was an ideal day.
It was estimated that 1000 people
were on the school grounds in the
evening to see the fireworks and a
large number of them finished up the
day with dancing in the D. B. S.
hall.

Big Japanese Ship
Believed lowering
off Pacific Coast

SAN FRANCISCO. July %. tUP)
The big japanese liner Tatua
Maru today was believed to be still
hovering off the California coast
with $50 Americans and a S3'OoO,OOO
silk cargo aboard. afraid TO come
in and dock. lest she be seized.
At least eight other, smaller Jap
anese boats were -oheved TO be an
chored beyond the three mile limit,
awaiting orders frorc Tokyo. NC
japanese boat has docked at an
American Pacific coast port since
President Roosevelt ordered Japa-
nese funds frozen.
1t was suggested that the Tatua
Maru may have been refueled ano
revictualed b. smaller japanese
boats which scurried out to sea be-
fore the order became effective, and
may have turned back 10 Japan. but
coast guard officials deprecated
these suggestions. They said, how
ever. that they had not seen the
boat.
The Tatua Maru's raw silk cargo
is highly perishable, and II was
not believed the $50 Americans
among her 27O passengers would
allow themselves to be turned about
a few miles from their destination,
and taken back TO Japan, without
protest.
Officers of the 18th naval dis
trict said it would be the duty OF
the coast guard to remove the pas
sengers, if the ship was ordered
to return TO Japan.
Since the Tatua Maru usually is
fueled and supplied for a roundtrip
in San Francisco, it was believed
she was low both on fuel and food.
After having docked at San Fran
cisco. the Tatua Maru was scheo-
uled to continue to Los Angeles ana
pick up Ill passengers for a return
voyage.
Shipping circles predicted, how
ever, that all bookings on japanese
vessels would be Cancelled today.
