One officer, belittling the in- | dividual size of the islands in the man- | \ datory, characterized them as ‘“mere iy with native and foreign residents on Stepping-stones toward the occupation o of Hawaii and Australia.” Another outlined a slightly more definite pro- gram by saying: “When Japan is ready to start she will take the Philip- pines before breakfast and Australia Controfof South Sea Islands Makes Vast Region Pri- vate Preserve. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. By Cuble to The Star and Chicago Dully News. Cupsright, 1921. RUK, Caroline Islands, February 20 (via Yokohama, Japan, February 28).— The Japanese: mnaval authorities are making two important strategic moves under Japan's mandatory over the South Sea Islands. The general headquarters on Rok Island will be transferred in June to Palau Island, at the western ex- tremity of the archipelago. The man- datory headquarters in the Marshall Islands, now on the Jaluit atoll, is to be traasferred to Witje, an atoll at the eastern- extremity of chat group.

Responsible officials say that she is not preparing to do so, and the naval department offers skeptics an opportu- nity to go and see for themselves that there is nothing doing in the line of | mititary work.

In the course of seven weeks tour- ing among the isiands, through the courtesy of the Japanese naval de- partment, the writer saw no signs of activity looking toward the for- tification of the mandatory islands or of the Bonins, which belong out- right to Japan. Coal and other sup- lies are siored on the islands and ere are also docking and repair fa- cilitiés, but none of these is of a sufficient magnitude to characterize them as naval bases. The nigher naval officers insist that they are ob- serving the spirit as weil as the let- 500 miles eastward from the Philippines, and Witje, 18001 “All of the doomed buildings have t of Palau.

The four structures contain about 900,000 square feet of floor space— more than that provided in the old Navy building at 17th nia avenue. They + cost of approxi- d mately $1,500.000. {" The buildings are of frame con- Istruction, with exterior finish of cco. and with beaver board par- titioning. Proposals for thée dis- mantling, and removal of the build- &s must be in the hands of officials by March 21. It is expected that the { work of demolishing will be begun by April 1. Whether other temporary office buildings are to be abandoned and razed in turn was not Itarned today. The structures marked for present destruction were constructed in 1917 and 1918 and are in good condition. REJECTS _KENTUCKY TAX.
