BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. With the arrival of the battleship Wyoming and & complement of light cruisers at Guantanamo, Cuba, this week, where they joined forces with the scouting fleet, the preliminary movements in the United States Navy’s great maneuvers in the Pacific have begun. On February 13 the combined squadrons will leave Cuban waters for the Panama Canal. Twelve days later they are scheduled to be en route to San Pedro, near San Diego, and on March 12 there will be @a junction with the armada of bat- tleships and auxillaries permanently based on the West Coast. The com- bined fleets, comprising the most formidable array of naval power ever assembled under the American flag, are due in Hawail on April 27, follow- ing & 12-day cruise from San Fran- cisco. Thereupon will ensue the maneu- vers which early in the Winter aroused the hostility of large sections of the Japanese people. Resentment of the American fleet's operation has not dled out in Japan, though late reports recefved in Washington indi. e that it is less violent than at first. Nippon's ire was stirred not only by the maneuvers themselves, because they are interpreted as prac- tico by the United States Army and Navy in defending Hawail against a Ya;mm-»e attack, but on account of | what will follow the maneuvers. Will Go to Australia. hen these are over our battle- sh and several destroyer squadrons will proceed to Australia and New Zealand, via Samoa. In the harbors of Melbourne, Sydney, Wellington and Auckland the American men-of-war will tarry, roughly, from July 16 to [ partment, - | augmented by troo STAR, WASHINGTON, tember 10 and 20 and be back at S8an Pedro about September 28. Many Japanese bitterly assailed the trans-Pacific cruise of the American fleet. They magnified it into a covert move on the part of the United States to establish an entente cardiale with Australia and New Zealand against “the dav" when the United States and Japhn will be “contesting for the mastery of the Pacific”’ The ex- tremist views held in Japan on this score are typified by a recent cartoon in the Tokio Nichi-Nichi. It is en- titled “Can the Worm be Swallowed?” and shows the American eagle scan- ning the Pacific Ocean with belliger- ent mien, looking at a thin strip of land off the Asiatio coast shaped like Japan, and soliloquizing: *I'll have to swallow that worm In my pond before it gets too big!"” Ends Three-year Test. The combined naval-military ma- neuvers around Hawalf, far from having been specially designed this year on account of American-Ja- panese tension over the immigration issue (as 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 1923-1924), 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 Hawailan waters this Spring, involves the same general problems of defense tackled in the two preceding years. Specifical task assigned the Army is to repel an invading upon capturing Hawali as the spring- board from which to launch an attack on the Panama Canal and the con- tinental United The primary motlve of this year's operations is to increase the efficie force bent forces of the Republic and improve the efficiency of the fleet as a whol The military end of the maneuver will be supplied by the army forces ordinarily garrisoned in the Hawalian Islands, known the Hawalfan De- totaling roundly 15,000, Week End News That Means Another Day of Lively Selling in This Best of All Money - Saving Events New Imported English Broadcloth Blouses Rebuilding Sale Price, $ 1.97 Natty Spring models, in tan, white and powder blue. as practical as they are smart. new A variety of beautiful styles, Also the peasant blouses in tan and white voile, with embroidered necks and sleeves.

The United States Government pald no official heed to Japanese protests against the Hawallan maneuvers or the trans-Pacific 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 inspectfons and ma- neuvers upon appropriate occasioins in order to maintain their efficiency, I 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 um- brage at Japan's great naval ma- neuvers last Autumn, which, like our own in Hawail this year, Were con- ducted in “home waters,” mnor have we ever taken notice of the occasional visits to Australia and New Zealand that h been made Japanese McCormick Medical OCollege Graduate Dr. CLAUDE S.
