JAPANESE SCHOOLS GET ARMS GOURSE Plan to Insure Perfect Na- tional Defense by In- structing Youth. Confirmation of the report that Japan has adopted a system of mili- tary training in the schools for pur- poses of national defense, somewhat similar to that followed in the United States, is contained in a report just received at the War Department from the United States military attache at Tokio. He gives a copy of the in- structions issued recently by the Japanese minister of war to the army officers charged with the training of youths at schools. “The object of the present arrange- ment,” says the Japanese war min ter, “is to invigorate military-sty] drill, training perfectly the mind and body of the student, and especially fostering various virtues, as disci- pline, regularity, the esprit de corps and perseverance, and further insur- Ing the increase of the capacity for national defen: Grave is therefore the responsibility of the officers as- signed to civil schools. In recent times, the general custom of the people is apt to run into frivolity. In order to tighten the popular minds thus relaxed, to strengthen more than ever the foundation on which the state stands, and to insure perfect- ness in the natlonal defense, it is im- perative to train both mind and body of the rising generation and improve their qualities. Taken as First Step. “In consequence, the government, eafter careful study and mature con- sideration, has formed the plan as the first step in the training of youths and boys that officers in active serv- Ice should be assigned first to middle and higher schools and charged with the task of improving their training. These assignments of the officers will be found to be the best opportunity for observing the sentiment of the community in general, the direction of popular sentiment and the like, which we must know thoroughly in the training of troops. Care should, therefore, be taken to-make the best use of the opportunity. “The present undertaking marks a great, new epoch in our country's history of education. The execution of a new enterprise is always a great difficulty. The assigned officers must, therefore, devote all their energles to the accomplishment of this great work, surmounting any difficulty what- ever and engaging in their duty with zeal and true-heartedness.” COMRADES-AT-ARMS BEAR LE MASURIER TO GRAVE Gov.

HONOLULU, June 5.—The extent to which the admittedly inadequate facilities of the Pearl Harbor navy yard_have been overworked during the fleet's visit to Hawalian waters was revealed yesterday in a state- ment by Capt. R. M. Griswold, aide on the staff of Admiral Robert E. Coontz, showing that it had been necessary to send 16 units to the yard incident to the maneuvers. It was pointed out that the neces- sary repairs were merely routine such as might arise every day, but that in case of an actual combat in the [Pacific the matter of repairing a larger number of vessels damaged in warfare would present a serious problem unless Pearl Harbor is im- proved and made larger in accord- ance with recommendations which have been made. “The maneuvers which have been held in Hawailan waters were pre- ceded by an intensive effort of all force commanders to have all the _THE EVENING Need of Pearl Harbor Imprbvemenl Demonstrated. by Fleet Maneuvers Navy Yard’s Facilities, Strained to Make Repairs to Vessels Used in Practice, Would Be Inadequate in War, Declares Capt.
